Qualified italian student offering Italian and Latin lessons in Edinburgh

From 22.57 € /h

While studying Social Anthropology and Politics, I would like to exploit my love for languages as well as my inner desire of bringing with me a piece of my cultural background. Teaching is a mutual exchange in which everyone can enlarge his points of view. My lessons are shaped according to needs and goals students want to meet. I think everyone has his own better way of learning and peculiar strengths and weaknesses, and it is important to know these ones in order to succeed.
I adopt an innovative approach, which involves speaking, listening and studying with interactive media. My purpose is to work on the four parts of the language (Speaking, Writing, Listening and Reading). I carefully select the material I use.
I want my lessons to be stimulating and consider them to be a moment of mutual growth. I like my students to be enthusiastic of learning and always ready to be challenged.
I have studied Latin language and literature, Italian, Ancient Greek, philosophy (etcetera) for 5 years and I have been teaching for three years. Thanks to private tutoring, I have developed a profound empathy (it is important to recognise needs and skills of students since I tailor my classes according to their attitudes and levels) as well as effective methods to overcome difficulties learners would eventually meet.
I'm very dynamic so I do not want standard classes in which students simply receive notions, but a stimulating environment where everyone can learn by getting into Italian culture as well as making comparisons and discussing about different topics.

Qualified Italian student giving Latin and Ancient Greek lessons in Edinburgh.

28.51 € /h

I am studying Social Anthropology and Politics at the University of Edinburgh. Classics are one of the biggest interests of mine; I started studying Latin and Ancient Greek languages and literature 6 years ago and I have been teaching for three years. I think studying these languages led me to be more aware of who I am as well as understand what is really worth.
Latin (Ancient greek too) lessons consist of two different parts: grammar and literature.
By studying grammar you are not going to just receive boring notions about the structure of the language, but you are going to deepen processes and rules that form Latin; with this method we are going to discuss about Latin and Greek mindset and then discuss about important themes studied by ancient people in literature. Furthermore, according to your needs and goals, we can exercise on translation of texts.

I specialize in tutoring math and Spanish for school and higer school.

I'm native Spanish living in Scotland, I can do online or face-to-face classes, I adapt to the needs and levels of the student.
I have been doing private classes in Spain for over 10 years, both to classmates and to seniors.

Spanish classes are tailored as the student wishes:
Doing the subject of mathematics, learning through a conversation, focusing on a specific topic.

I recommend doing classes with grammar, vocabulary and speaking.

Ciao! Hola!

I’m Vladimir, an enthusiastic and experienced language tutor of Spanish and Italian at any levels. I’m currently studying at Edinburgh, getting a Masters and I hope to be your next language tutor!

I’m a mother-tongue speaker in English and Italian and I have achieved a B2 in the Spanish DELE qualifications. I am also an experienced language tutor, having taught students of all ages and level over the course of the past five years.

My ultimate goal is to help you achieve their desired proficiency level, whether that be learning the language from scratch or consolidating knowledge. Classes are tailored to the student’s needs and objective where we can cover any of the essential skills of language learning: vocabulary, grammar, reading, speaking, writing and listening. By providing a full-immersion experience, I make learning languages fun and accessible to all kinds of learners.

Please feel free to contact me if you'd like tutoring sessions in any of the subjects listed above. I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm a Turkish bookworm that has been subjected to the in-depth curriculum of the Turkish education system for 12 years. I've been brought up by my author & Turkish literature graduate grandparents, who were ruthless when it came to Turkish grammar/spelling rules.

My experience in academia has shown me that we all learn differently. I prefer tailoring my teaching methods upon learning more about what works for the student.

I'm a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from the University of Edinburgh. I work in a research laboratory part-time and have prior experience in teaching conversational Turkish.

As one of the most spoken languages in the world, learning Spanish from an early age can allow children not just to ease into the grammar and spelling but also adapt to correct pronunciation. Being billingual from a personal experience has opened me a tremendous amount of opportunities. From hospitality jobs to work experience abroad. Learning Spanish will also aid in the learning of other languages such as French or Italian. During my IGCSE's, I achieved a Grade of A* (96%), and most of it I attribute to my already fluent level in Spanish.

Classes will follow a progressive increase in level and challenge.
My first class will be analysing their current level and how easy the student grasps the language, and from there set weekly goals for them to reach.
My priority is for them to learn as much as possible the accent and correct pronunciation of the words, followed then by learning of sentence structure.

French is a very beautiful language but this one is rather complex.
I offer fun learning, adapted to the knowledge of the apprentice. The goal here is to progress by taking the time necessary to memorize each notion.
The first course will focus on an assessment of the apprentice's level in order to subsequently offer a personalized program adapted to level.

Hello! I am a university student at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and I am currently in Edinburgh. If you are a beginner or want to improve your Spanish? Don't be afraid to start. My classes are focused on developing your communication and expression skills, they are 100% linguistic immersion.

These are classes that I have taught and in which I have more experience, if you want to learn Spanish to travel, you need to improve your academic grades, conversation-only classes, interesting topics, language reinforcement or you want to improve your communication with your friends/family Spanish speakers.

So that you have an idea of what my classes are like:
o Academic classes we learn grammar and vocabulary, conversation.
o In conversation classes we talk about different topics + expand vocabulary and
We correct pronunciation errors.
o In travel classes we learn about how to ask for directions, ask for prices, order food, etc.

All classes are flexible and adapted to you with the goals you set.
At home, online or at an intermediate point

At any level, English can be a difficult language to master. Whether you're going through primary school or learning how to write, I can help you sharpen your English skills. I am currently a student at The University of Edinburgh, studying for a Masters in Creative Writing. I also have obtained a Bachelor's degree in English, Education, and Business. I would love to help share my knowledge and passion in the written word. My goal is to assist anyone who may need help advancing their English in a positive and supportive way. I may assign work between sessions on a student-to-student basis, cultivating each lesson to meet individual needs.

My lessons are a mix of conversational Italian and grammar explanations, with the aid of written and online resources to practice vocabulary and grammar. I typically start from the Italian words and expressions you might already know (everyone knows more Italian than they think!) and take it from there, with plenty of simulated scenarios where you get to speak like a native among natives (and I get to ridicule myself imitating all sorts of Italian people!).

When explaining a new topic, I like to encourage students to use their insight, nudging them when necessary. I have observed how even absolute beginners can easily guess the meaning of a new word or the way a certain word will behave, once certain patterns between and within Italian and English (and possibly other languages) are highlighted. When a student reaches the correct conclusion with just a little help, that is highly rewarding for both the student and the teacher!

For more advanced students, the focus is often on vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar nuances. I like to choose a topic together and subsequently bring a written text (like a newspaper article), from which to extract more specialised vocabulary, and which will serve as a basis for discussions and debates.
