English Tutoring / Exam Preparation- 20 years of experience

From 62 € /h

Hello. I am a British Qualified English school teacher,(PGCE English and Sports- Cheltenham University) and a qualified teacher of English as a Foreign Language (CELTA) , with 20 years of experience teaching, mentoring and coaching adults, college students and children.
I believe a good teacher finds how to motivate students, and develop their confidence when working towards a set of clear targets and goals.. Everyone learns differently, and as an experienced teacher, I can help you reach your objectives, in a relaxed and convivial environment.
The key to learning is that it should be fun - I offer stimulating lessons that will enable you to progress more quickly, and, follow-up with additional personal work that assists in areas of weakness, or further challenges you on specific points. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

About Me

I am easy-going, friendly and approachable.
I believe that you learn best when you are relaxed, and are interested and engaged.
I am clear, consistent and organised in terms of lesson planning and execution, and encourage students at all times to maximise their time speaking during lessons, and give linked follow -up activities for their personal work.

I believe it's important to make mistakes... it's only by doing this we can learn how to correct and improve our abilities.

In my free time I enjoy skiing, walking in the mountains and swimming. I like cooking, photography, listening to music and travelling. At the moment I am trying to learn about web design. For my next big holiday I would love to go on a safari, and locally I would like to learn how to sail...

A bit of conjugation and grammar, of course.

English for college students

Hello,

I offer English classes, oral or written. The courses will be tailored to your needs. Whether you have difficulty with grammar, vocabulary, writing, etc. Or with regard to speaking, pronunciation of words, etc.

As for speaking, I can teach you British English, or American English. As you wish.
This can be in the form of dialogue, or in the form of a more traditional course.

Being bilingual (supporting documents), the possibilities of my courses are unlimited.

I hope very soon =)

Regards,

Currently studying business school in the 4th year. I offer any high school student who wants to learn and have support in these homework the opportunity to progress in various fields.
I do my studies and my internship largely abroad so I can provide linguistic support.
I also have a predilection for the economy and for history and mathematics.

Knowing a second language is very important in life, English and Spanish are some of the most known languages in the world.
In this course you'll learn from grammar to actual knowledge in history of the country.
We will use ways and activities to make it interesting until we reach a point of feeling comfortable enough with the language.

I am a native English speaker from Australia with several years experience teaching English as a Second Language to both children and adults. I use an immersive style which is creative, fun and academic. I have a bachelors level qualification in Social Work, and can tutor all levels from beginners to those wishing to fine-tune their academic writing skills.
For children, I use a fun and engaging style which utilises music and song. I have worked for the language school chain 'Kids and Us' in Paris and have undergone a full induction training into using music and song to teach children. I can come to you and teach multiple children at once for an additional fee. I am also a musician and have worked as a music teacher, so I enjoy using the creative arts while I teach children!
Classes are structured and will build on one another. I can provide homework if independent study is suitable for the age and level of the student.
I am friendly and approachable, so please get in touch if you have any further questions.

I am a middle school English teacher and have a master's degree in foreign languages. We can work on English grammar and vocabulary. We can also, if you wish, chat a little in English to help you practice the language.

My French and English courses are intended mainly for primary and college students, who need additional explanations to understand the courses they practice in schools. So, academic support and upgrading. I also give lessons to DYS children, that is to say to pupils who have problems in learning to read; On the other hand, with regard to English, it is essentially refresher training, basic skills, college level 6th, 5th.
I also give French lessons for adults, only to review and improve basic skills.
All my courses are oriented according to the difficulties to be eradicated;

Philosophy is a discipline we can only approach through the eyes of a passionate graduate; English is a language we can only learn through the spoken language of someone who has lived in an English-speaking country; and French writing is a beauty we can only grasp with a teacher who has polished a novel with an editor and learned all its formal rules, which go beyond the merely academic. It is to fulfill such a role that I propose myself.
