English Classes for Intermediate & Advanced Students

From 57.29 € /h

I have over 600+ hours of tutoring experience, am a novelist, published by Cassava and Scholastic and an Oxford graduate with an MA Oxon in English Language and Literature, I’ve also got a Master’s in Philosophy where I focused on philosophy of language.

My classes are tailored to the needs of the student but are steeped in research based methods on how to attain a language swiftly, speak with confidence, master nuance, and be culturally adept as well. Too often language courses forget to tailor language to the context. Mine do not.

About Me

I’m a novelist, currently also a neuroscience grad student with a former life as a corporate executive at Accenture. I write forgotten histories about communities overlooked across time. My first book In the Palace of Flowers was set in Iran, named one of Times Radio’s top 5 books of the year, a Harvard special recommendation and named to African Arguments’ Best Books of 2021. My last essay for Granta was declared Best of the Literary Internet by LitHub and endorsed by Pen/Faulkner.

The “forgotten” is a central facet of my life and work. Tutoring is about focusing and attending to students who need more support that they are receiving in their class or have ambitions that cannot be catered to in the classroom, or are not able to access a traditional classroom. My tutoring practice is thus centred on the comfort, ease and needs of the student. I prioritise making them feel seen, visible, dignified because that is when their confidence and capabilities will shine. It is in these settings that they begin to thrive.

Creative Writing for Students and Aspiring Writers — All Ages and All levels

62.06 € /h

I’m a novelist (see my profile for my info) who studied Literature at Oxford. I help students develop their creative practice and improve their creative output regardless of their literary ambitions.

I work with students who need to improve their creative writing as part of their school work but also for those aspiring writers who want to be novelists or poets or screenwriters. I design a tailored programme to help them stretch their abilities, develop their capacity to master pacing and much more besides.

I specialize in tutoring English for conversational practice as well as professional and academic development. I have a degree in Literature and experience working in an elementary school with bilingual children and multi-lingual families. I assign short and simple tasks after lessons so the students have something concrete to reflect on over the course of our time learning together.

English and Spanish are very important nowadays. I studied these two languages for many years, and I have many times been in contact with foreign people with whom the only language to communicate was English or Spanish. I suggest you school classes or more advanced for those who wish to improve or simply upgrade.

Do not hesitate to write to me, I will answer you with pleasure.

I am a qualified teacher with four years experience teaching in schools within Australia and the United Kingdom. I am a patient and encouraging teacher who aims to make learning English motivating by adapting lessons to suit your individual interests, learning style, and specific language goals. It is important to me that you feel well supported, challenged, and successful in my lessons. I keep my lessons relaxed so that you feel comfortable giving things a go and making mistakes.

Lessons with me may focus on one or more of the following: speaking, listening, reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar. I can offer lessons to individuals and small groups, and learners of all ages are welcome.

The lesson will be taught in English. I speak basic French and will utilise this where necessary in order to support your understanding.

Hi! I specialize in teaching English at the conversational level, as well as English for test preparations. Having worked in a primary school for years, I am comfortable with preparing students of all ages for Cambridge language exams like the Movers and Flyers tests. Having studied multiple foreign languages myself, as well as having studied methods of teaching English as a foreign language in the classroom, I believe that you'll find me a helpful and knowledgable teacher.

As a student in preparatory classes, rigor is one of my traits that allows me to assimilate the lessons well with simple and effective approaches. The English language like any other language requires perpetual and gradual monitoring. My method is based on the use of any physical means to let the language insinuate, in other words, to listen and communicate then to master the language tools. The idea is to trace the foundations, the accent in the unconscious which will automatically translate the grammatical courses without complications.

I believe that as the world becomes more of a global village, it’s increasingly important for children and young adults to learn English in order to interact, do business, and be exposed and up to date with world knowledge these days.
I will help with written, oral, grammar, and all English related exams.

The theme of the lessons will be "Traveling in an English-speaking country". Lessons will be designed to teach the student sentences in English that they will find useful in real life. The student can choose sentences they want to learn in English and the lessons will be adjusted based on the age of the student. I can also assist with pronunciation.

For children, as lessons continue the lessons can focus more on simple sentence construction in English.

For adults who already speak English, we can work on high level words and phrases depending on the context, for example: business emails. These lessons will be focused on the words and phrases the pupil wants to learn/ would find helpful.
