Interactive lessons: Russian and English languages for everyone (both remote and face-to-face)

Hi everyone and nice to meet you! I have two years of teaching experience. I like interactive methods and teaching through songs, poems, and cinemas. I also give grammar exercises but do not overload you. Promise that lessons will be fun, easy-going and productive. We are going to use modern materials in the classes which I prepare myself.
My own studies were in English so I always practice language myself.
If you are interested in studying Russian or English languages I can teach them both.
I am a self-organized, hard-working,​ and communicative person. Ready to work with ​any age.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching Russian for two years in Helsinki both to adults and children. I like the interactive methods and teaching through songs, poems, and movies. My teaching method is natural when you learn by listening and speaking mostly. I also give grammar exercises but I won’t overload you. Promise that the lessons will be fun, easy, and productive. I prepare the materials for classes myself, so you have only to come to a class with a positive attitude! I receive very positive feedback from my students!
I'm a self-organized, hard-working, and communicative person. I'm ready to work with any age, both remote and face-to-face.

Valeria's interactive and discussion-based method is exactly what I was looking for, as using the language is the best way to progress, even with limited knowledge. She is very patient and encouraging.

Spanish classes. Preparation for the exam. Conversations in Spanish or English.
I am a dedicated young woman, who longs to share her knowledge and love for the Spanish language through teaching. With a warm and patient personality, I seek to inspire my students by searching for innovative and entertaining methods. In addition, having conversations and speaking so that pronunciation and speaking are easier for you. On the other hand, it helps with preparation for exams or assignments. My goal is to advance the student without overloading him. If you are a beginner, don't worry, I will teach you the most basics of the language and thus you will learn in a simple and fun way.

Stephen James
English and Music Tutoring with a Friendly Native Speaker
Moikka! I am offering English tutoring to anyone and everyone looking to improve their English language skills! I am a published writer with a strong history of academic writing. That said, I want to help you meet your own personal goals—be it improving your conversational skills, writing skills, or getting ready to pass those English language tests! Also, I understand quite a lot of Finnish which helps me to identify common mistakes native-Finnish speakers make. It helps me to better explain the logic of English from the perspective of a Finnish speaker. :) Additionally, I can offer lessons in piano and/or music composition (my main field.) For this, I can arrange a place for us to meet. I have open availability for teaching on most weekday evenings and during the day on weekends. So send me a message and let's grab a coffee somewhere and get to chattin'. I look forward to meeting you! :) Interests: Music, art, culture, humanities, politics, architecture, food, and pretty much anything else

Santiago
Online virtual conversational English classes for adults
Hello, My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the English language either to prepare international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language. I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language. In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country. Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I am going to prepare you so that you can meet your goals. It could be, studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose the previously acquired level. If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,

I'm offering private 1-to-1 lessons tailored to your needs, whether you're looking to improve, dust off old skills, break new ground, prepare for a test or interview or even just explore the language. I can also help your child progress with their school work. My name is Tommie. I was born and raised in the UK and moved to Finland 5 years ago to pursue my master’s degree in music. I hold over 10 years' experience teaching English, during which time I've had dozens of private students across all ages. I'm a published writer and music journalist with a background in academic writing and proof-reading. I’m also a competent Finnish speaker, which can be especially useful to identify tell-tale Finnish patterns of speech. Perhaps you want to strengthen your grasp of English grammar, or expand your vocabulary. You may even want to just get more comfortable speaking. These are all avenues for us to explore, no matter whether the style is conversational or formal, business or academic. I look forward to meeting you and joining you on your English journey!

English, conversation skills and test prep tutoring
English is an international language and it is never too late to brush up your conversation skills to chat with friends, for a job interview, to participate in meetings or pass a test to prove your language skills. I have a student-centred approach based on a mutual discussion about what goals you want to achieve and the duration to realize them. I give classes on an online webcam, but I am also flexible to travel to Helsinki and Espoo region if the need so arises. So what are you waiting for? Get in touch with me now and we will get a chance to work together. I also speak French, German as well as Bengali, an Indian language fluently and learnt several other languages. So I am particularly sensitive to the needs of students with multilingual and multicultural backgrounds. I also use music and theatre in my classes which makes them super fun and enjoyable.

Private English Language tutoring for all levels and purposes.
I am looking for all sorts of students, who are willing to - build up a broad vocabulary - improve writing skills - improve conversational skills - improve listening skills - improve reading skills - improve grammar - get prepared for an exam/speech/job interview And also start from scratch! That’s the most fun part. I am open to working with children and teens, because I can understand them and their needs well, so I can always find an individual way of helping each and every one of them with all the attention and guidance they need! I give one on one, private classes. But I am also open to teaching for two-three students at a time and potentially organizing a little group of people to meet weekly and improve/ practice our skills as a collective.
