Online English Classes for those wanting to learn conversational English like a native.

From 60.41 $ /h

Want to learn to speak English like a native? Then you need to take lessons with a native!
For those who want to focus on learning the language without getting too weighed down by the technicalities of verbs, nouns and adjectives, this is your chance.

I believe that people learn better when they can help drive the direction of their learning. So to begin with, we will create an action plan based on what you most want to learn, such as how to have a conversation at work versus how to order a drink in a bar. Only after you are comfortable with a certain level of speech will we consider reading and writing.

I also make efforts to work with your learning style, for example, whether you are a visual learner versus an auditory learner. I don’t believe that there is a one-size-fits-all approach to learning and try to reflect this in my own teaching.

Extra information

To help prepare for your classes,
1. Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection to minimise disruptions during the session. I also advise finding a quiet and comfortable space where you feel at ease, speak out loud and can focus on the session without interruptions. Consider using headphones.
2. Preferred Device: It is essential to have a computer, tablet, or smartphone that meets the minimum system requirements for the video conferencing platform. This will ensure a smooth and uninterrupted session.

About Me

Hi, my name is Elaine. I am an English lass living in beautiful Switzerland.

My experience learning languages shows that set course structures make it take too long to learn what is truly useful day to day. So I want to offer my English skills to help those who know what they want to learn as soon as possible. Whether it's ordering Fish and Chips or presenting a sales pitch.

I have over a decade of experience working in the tech industry, and two degrees that have absolutely nothing to do with teaching (but that I loved doing). I have several coaching qualifications and experience in training and facilitation. I really enjoy seeing others develop and reach their goals, and I teach with patience and understanding.

I also love books, gardening, Cadbury's (yes, I am that British), and time with friends.

Hello everyone,
My name is Phillip. I am an experienced, native bilingual (USA/Switzerland) English teacher. Today, I am pleased to guide you in your learning from my office located in the wild and inspiring setting of western Ireland.

With many years of experience as a private tutor, I work with students from all backgrounds. However, over time, I have developed an approach that is particularly appreciated by seniors and retirees. Why? Because I am convinced that learning a language at this stage of life should first and foremost be a shared pleasure, a window onto the world, and a wonderful way to keep the mind sharp and curious.
My approach: Trust and kindness above all

Many of us have somewhat rigid memories of school learning. With me, forget the stress of mistakes or tedious grammar. My primary goal is to restore your confidence. We progress at your pace, with a gentle, patient, and personalized teaching approach. Whether you're starting from scratch or simply want to refresh your old school memories, I adapt completely to your needs.

What we can explore together:
- Travel English: So that your next trip abroad is synonymous with serenity (getting around, ordering in restaurants, communicating with locals without apprehension).

-Maintaining family ties: Ideal if you have bilingual grandchildren or grandchildren living abroad and you want to share more with them.

-Conversation & Culture: Discuss current events, literature, history or life in Ireland, while enjoying my clear and easy-to-understand native accent.

-Brain gymnastics: Using English as a fun and stimulating tool to maintain memory and cognitive plasticity.

Why choose me?
As a dual American and Swiss national living in Ireland, I bring a unique cultural richness to your life. I have a mastery of all the nuances of the English language, but I also have a perfect understanding of French culture and structure.

Practical and technological aspects:

We'll work together via Zoom or Google Meet, very simple and reliable tools. If you're worried about the technology, don't be: I'll guide you step by step during our first session so you feel completely comfortable on screen. It's much simpler than it seems!

Join me for a friendly and engaging experience, blending Swiss rigor, American optimism, and the legendary warmth of Ireland. Let's transform your English practice into a truly enriching human adventure.
Nice to meet you,

Phillip

All my lessons are held online via Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, making them easy to fit around your schedule. I teach all levels from A1 to C2, and every lesson is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Lessons are dynamic, interactive and results-focused. We'll cover all key skills – speaking, listening, reading and writing – while also working on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation in context. If you'd like to focus heavily on conversation, I can tailor lessons around real-life speaking practice to build your confidence and fluency.

I also offer specialised support for exam preparation (including IELTS and Cambridge exams) as well as Business English coaching – covering emails, presentations, meetings and professional communication.

Optional homework is available between lessons if you'd like extra practice, but it's never compulsory. You'll receive all lesson materials and resources digitally via email or OneDrive, so you can review and practise whenever it suits you.

Whether you need English for work, study or personal growth, my aim is to make learning effective, enjoyable and relevant to you.

I offer relaxed, personalized English lessons for students of all ages and levels in Vienna. I tailor my lessons to your specific needs and goals, whether it’s exam preparation, proofreading, homework help, improving conversation skills, or simply becoming more confident speaking English in everyday life.

As someone who has been learning German since the age of 12, I understand how challenging and sometimes intimidating it can be to learn another language. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students improve their English skills, but also to create a supportive and open learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and having fun along the way.

I focus on making English feel natural, approachable, and enjoyable, with lessons adapted to each student’s interests, pace, and learning style.

Class Description:
Reading and writing are the fundamentals of communication, every day life, and critical thinking. Reading allows individuals to inquire knowledge while writing allows individuals to communicate. My goal is to help students pronounce and read vocabulary words efficiently and write with accurate spelling and proper punctuation.
I'm very passionate about the study of communication because it is how humans have evolved throughout history; it is how we communicate, share our marketplace of ideas, and connect as a society.

English Literature is a commonly taught subject in school, but for good reason. The concepts taught in these classes help us learn crucial lessons about our society and ourselves. This is because the themes and traits of character in these books reflect humanity to be more relatable to readers. The skills that are often taught in Literature classes are academic writing, analyzing books & their meanings, and writing essays.

As a college student who is currently majoring in English & Comparative Literature, I understand and utilize these skills in my college endeavors. Whether I am writing academically in my Rhetoric Written Argument 200 class, analyzing but also making meaning out of a 55 chapter book (Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) in my Introduction to English and Comparative Literature class, or writing creatively to tell stories in my Introduction to Creative Writing class, I am still using those skills I learned in high school and middle school to create ideas and improve myself.

In my class, I will be tutoring your student based on their academic needs. On the first day of class, I will provide an activity to assess what your student thrives at and what they need to improve on. From then on, I will create activities based off of the skill/skills your student should be working on, whether that be analyzing, annotating, writing essays/academic writing, etc. I will also connect ideas together to help your student understand the bigger picture of Literature. For example, I could teach your student how annotating your book leads to understanding the content better, which then leads to being able to complete assignments at a better quality, and that would then lead to understanding the material more comprehensively, and that leads to scoring well on tests and/or essays.

My classroom will help students feel comfortable to ask questions and to grow because I understand how important it is to ask questions in a judgement free environment. As a student who recently undertook the middle and high school experiences, as compared to many teachers, I value your student's experience and I want to help your student enjoy it. Pressures from school can lead to immense stress, which is why I want to create a fun and effective learning environment for your student based off of their needs.

English language skills are increasingly regarded essential in any academic or professional situation, thus we must guarantee that young people in our community learn English as soon as possible. Kids are capable of accomplishing great things if given the opportunity and encouragement. I think that every child is unique in their own way, and that if given the correct tools, they can do amazing things. That is why I created this class; it is very important to me to instill in my students a love of the English language and literature, as well as to make my classes as enjoyable and engaging as possible.

This class uses the direct method, hence English is the sole language spoken. Through my teaching experience, I've discovered that this strategy is really effective and has resulted in significant improvement in my students English levels.
