As an Italian native speaker and MA student in Translation and Cultural Mediation, I provide a solid base to either start learning Italian or make real progress if you're not a beginner. I assign homeworks, but nothing too overwhelming. Learning should be fun too!

Learn Portuguese/Brazilian Portuguese.

The classes will be tailored to your needs to ensure you will make quick progress. On top of learning the language, you will gain expertise in Brazilian and Portuguese cultures.

About me:
I have plenty of experience teaching in schools in Brazil and Portugal. I can teach all levels with a focus on your specific needs (e.g. conversation, writing, grammar).

French is not the easiest to learn but i know how to teach it. I adapt myself to the student by discovering his skills to help him far better

I can teach from a distance using device or meet you outside in a park, home, cafe, public locations.

Would you like to learn about the latest trends in global marketing partnerships in the world of brands, advertising, arts, culture, music and creative industries? I can help!

I have over 15 years extensive commercial experience working in the passion points of music, entertainment and culture - for some of the world's leading brands and agencies.

My class focuses on providing inspiration, guidance and best practice.

Highly experienced teacher working currently in both public and private system.

In this particular course we will go through a solid grammar base in order to be able to build up your speaking skills. We will work always with a communicative approach using day to day vocab and structures as well as more specific vocabulary.

First thing we wil do is an interview to understand your needs and set up your goal. And from there we will move on utill you reach your objectives.

Don't hesitate and contact me with any questions. You won't regret!

Do you want to start learning French but have never learnt it before? Or maybe you want to perfect your understanding of French grammar, or your capacity to express yourself clearly, spontaneously and with confidence in French? Or work on pronunciation, perhaps improve your accent and learn more about French culture?
I can help you with all of these, and not only because I was born and raised in France: after getting my Master's Degree in Lingustics and Anthropology from the School for Advanced Research in Paris - at the time I was also teaching private classes of French and English to high school and university students - I moved to the UK and studied theatre at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. There I worked on the skills any speaker needs to communicate clearly and convincingly: diction, voice projection, etc.
These two approaches - linguistics, and theatre work - give me a strong foundation from which to help any student learn French. So jump on: we'll build a learning program tailored to your needs and make sure that the lessons are both dense and fun.

Everyone has a reason to learn French :
whether you are passionate about French cuisine or literature, about our marvelous landscapes and historical patrimony in Paris and outside, or for any other reason,
whether you are studying French at high school or you have previously studied it and forgot it all,
whether you are 15 or 51,
you are right to (re)start/continue learning French, and you are welcome to my classes. As a French enthusiastic about my culture and language, I would love to share my passion while making you improve your understanding and expression in French. My classes are progressive and based on your needs and requests, and they mix language and civilisation. My aim is to help you interact with people in various situations, such as in a bar with French friends, in a professional email or even to write in French for any purpose.

Hi everyone!

My name is Lily and I come from China. I am an MA student at Goldsmiths, University of London. My program is Film Study. I have just graduated and now I want to find a job in London, but I need some part-time work to make a living. I will be very happy if I can earn money by communicating with foreigners about our culture. The areas I'm familiar with are Chinese, film, media, Chinese culture, and photography... But currently, I am not an expert in any field, so the best I can promise to teach well is Chinese and Chinese culture, but anything else I know I can also talk to you about. If you're interested in any of these, please contact me~ My English level is intermediate, (got my IELTS a 6.5)but we can talk about the content you want to learn in advance outside of class and I'll prepare for our classes and try my best to teach you!:D

Thanks!
