    English, Grade 4-9, National Test Prep, Adult learners welcome!

    I've been living in Stockholm for three years, working at one of the best English speaking schools in the city as the Head of English. I understand the Swedish education system very well and would be happy to help either Grade 6 or Grade 9 preparations for Nationella Prov. I also have experience working with English curriculum or the Cambridge curriculum.

    I would also be happy to help tutor adults who need some help practicing their spoken, written or read English.

    I believe when you tutor, you have be relaxed, make the lessons engaging and fun, and really make the student understand how much help some one on one time with a tutor can be. I like to use modern teaching techniques, make the lessons as active and engaging as possible and really make the time valuable and well spent for all.

    I have tutored in England, and am happy to be as flexible as you need me - either travelling to you, or hosting lessons at my apartment.

    Extra information

    I could provide a laptop but it would be easier if you bring your own. All resources will be provided by me, as well as excellent English and plenty of fun!

    About Me

    Hello!
    Welcome!
    Thanks for checking out my page. My name is James, I am originally from the North West of England, a small Roman city called Chester. I’ve been living in Stockholm for three years now, and I have been consistently impressed with Stockholm, the Swedish people and Sweden in general.

    For me- learning English is all about communicating well. I like to do this in as many different active ways as possible. Whether it is silly speaking games, using things you are interested in, new medias like YouTube, TikTok, reading some classic literature - I like to adapt my lessons to suit you. Whether it’s improving your reading, writing, speaking, or just preparing for National Tests, I want to make these lessons work for you. If you are having classes outside of school - they should be interesting and personal not boring and photocopied worksheets. They should be engaging and fun and make you want to learn! That is why I try to offer. In terms of what I’d like from you as as student? Very simple! Just someone who wants to learn English, and is willing to be honest with me if you’re finding something tricky or boring.

    I studied English Literature at a top 10 Red Brick University in England, then completed a Masters in English Literature before going back to University to become a teacher. I completed my qualifications, worked at a school in England for one year then moved to Stockholm (blame Brexit and Boris!) I have worked as the Head of English at one of Stockholm’s best International English Schools for two and a half of these years.

    I love connecting with young people and getting to know them, and to help them develop their love for language. As a specialism, I work best with bilingual learners- and I like to use a variety of tried and tested methods to improve speaking in English. In my spare time, I read and write all the time, and I love trying to instil the same love of reading in my students.

    As I explained above, I am a firm believer that if you tutor in a student’s spare time, the lessons should be valuable. All I can promise with me is - no boring, worksheet lessons which clearly are not personalised. I will discuss what you need from me, and try and make the lessons as active, fun, valuable as possible.

    I can work developing English from Grades 4-9.
    National test preparation in Grade 6-9.
    Support in Gymnasium for essay writing skills in English.
    Adult language learners.

    If you have any questions - please mail me! I will be happy to answer any questions you might have!

    Education

    I achieved a degree in English Literature from Lancaster University, then a Masters in English from Lancaster University. I then completed a Masters of Education, making me a qualified teacher.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I worked in two schools in England for the year after I qualified as a teacher of English before moving to Stockholm. Since moving to Stockholm, I have worked as an English teacher for 3 years, and the Head of English for 2 and a half years.

Having studied so many languages and assisted to different language schools, I can identify myself with being a student and try my best to adapt to each person's needs and desires. I used to give private Spanish classes at a beginner level in Berlin. As a person, I am very outgoing and social, and I enjoy making classes fun and dynamic.

    I take remote Arabic lessons for all levels. I take remote Arabic sessions for all levels. I provide extensive online Arabic classes.
    Hello! My name is Abolaji Abdrahman, from Nigeria. I have studied Arabic language (including reading, writing, listening and speaking skills). I also studied Quran & it's sciences, Tajweed, and other Islamic studies for more than fourteen years. I have studied Arabic from the International Open University and Arabic Institute. Currently, I'm also an Undergraduate student of Islamic Studies Education in the University of Lagos, Akoka. I also study under the tutelage of Sheikh Raslān from Egypt. I am a tutor of modern standard Arabic, classical Arabic (the language of Quran and Hadith) and colloquial Arabic ('āmiyyah). I love teaching Arabic because it is a very important language of Islam. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said we should love Arabic language because: he is an Arabic, the holy Quran is in Arabic language and the language of the paradise dwellers is Arabic. I also love teaching Arabic language because it is the fifth most spoken language in the world. It is the official language of 26 countries including 5 of the wealthiest countries in the world. And it's sixth most spoken language in the world. Learning such a language will avail you to the discovery of most interesting cultures in today's world. It will also look good in your resume. With Arabic language, you'll become a polyglot and you will be able to adapt to the environments of Arab. As a Muslim, with Arabic language, you'll have thorough understanding of Quran and Sunnah. I have been tutoring Arabic and Islamic Studies since 2014 both online and offline till date. I tutor the learners between the ages of 5 - 80. The focus of my instruction is on all the important skills of the language (reading, writing, listening and speaking), grammar and vocabulary development. With these, you'll be able to intermingle with Arabic speaking people in any Arab environment you find yourself and of course, you'll have yourself prepared and fit for any formal exam. I am also certified to instruct in the memorization of Quran, the sciences of Quran like different versions of Quranic recitation (riwāyāt), the exegesis of Quran (tafsīr), e.t.c I have syllabus and materials for tutoring Arabic efficiently within a period of six to twelve months. I'm well experienced in tutoring with these books: ➡️ I love Arabic ➡️ Lessons in Arabic language ➡️ Nūrul bayān ➡️ Iqrā' qirā'tī ➡️ Qā'idāh Nūrāniyyah ➡️ Qā'idāh Makkiyyah ➡️ Qā'idāh Baghdādiyyah ➡️ Arabic in your hands ➡️ Tuhfatul Atfāl ➡️ Exegesis of Ibn Kathīr e.t.c I also have experience in teaching English language and Philosophy. Learning English language helps in developing ideas and communicating them. I would be glad to be your tutor in this journey, choose me and you will not regret it. See you in my class! I have 7 years of teaching experience. I'm a certified Arabic and English teacher. I have TESL and simplified Arabic certification. My teaching method is philosophical, experimental and persuasive. My teaching approach is simple to complex.

    Giorgia
    Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
    Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
