    IELTS and Cambridge English examination preparation classes

    I am a qualified English teacher with experience at all levels. I am a specialist in IELTS and Cambridge exam classes, but I can also teach general English. In this class, you will start using the language in a natural way from the beginning, and the purpose is to communicate in everyday situations. If you have specific needs, we can discuss those and put together a course that is right for you.

    About Me

    I've been teaching English since 2008, and in that time, I've helped more students than I can remember master the language. Whether you're taking an English exam or you're improving your language levels, whether it's for university, professional reasons, or just because you want to talk to other people around you, we can work to put together a programme that meets your needs. My philosophy is that language is a tool, and so we will put it to use from the first lesson. Contact me to find out more!

    Ewelina
    English - experienced and qualified teacher - online course or in Strasbourg
    Lessons are planned according to the level and objectives of each student and, except for specific needs / wishes, they aim to develop the four linguistic skills necessary for the mastery of a language: oral expression, written expression, oral comprehension, written comprehension . To support the learning of these four aspects, I use a variety of effective and interesting teaching materials, adapted to the interests and objectives of each learner. Support will also be placed on good pronunciation and on the most attractive point: the acquisition of spontaneity in oral expression. The authentic support materials that I use in the lessons will give you the keys to understanding and appreciating the culture and customs of the country, as well as the differences from your own. Other possibilities: -preparation for language exams - business English, CV, biography, cover letter -refreshment in grammar and written expression -training in everyday or professional conversation -language improvement courses -stages and coaching for international mobility -translation and interpretation -coaching in self-promotion and personal branding

    Joshua
    Native English Language Lessons with Josh from Australia
    Hello, I am Josh from Australia and I currently live in France. I am an English teacher and tutor. My approach to teaching is based mostly on the Communicative Method. Everything we do - reading, writing, listening, grammar has an end goal of serving a communicative purpose. I do not lecture, and I try to keep my talking to a minimum. It is about You, and you should be talking the most. I like to elicit and get a lot of information from my students', that helps in building their confidence in the language and reducing my teacher talk time. And finally, my approach is FUN. We need to enjoy what we are doing. I create lessons that are engaging, motivating and interesting. We need to have a laugh and not take things too seriously. Language is play and play is fun, if it's not then we will get bored. I have been teaching English for over 8 years now in a few different countries. I love teaching English and getting the most out of my students. I take a great interested in supporting you in your language journey and success. With me, I will support you, challenge you, and create lessons specifically for you. That way, you will enjoy the lessons and see improvement. Generally, I create a lesson built around a theme or topic and from there I introduce a 'bite size' instruction for revision and practice. For example, a new grammar or vocabulary topic. The focus is ultimately on communication and getting the most out of you. See you soon! Josh

    English courses for beginners or intermediates wishing to improve their level (B1-C2)
    This English course can suit several types of profile and I am ready to adapt according to your various expectations. I certified level C2 in 2017 thanks to the Cambridge CAE test. Since then, I have been taking regular classes at the Faculty of History and Languages. I also have several English speaking friends which allows me to maintain my level. Thus, I practice the language regularly and could help you improve your speaking skills. If you want to learn English while developing your general knowledge, I can also build art or history courses in English, which will improve both your understanding and learn more about the anglophone culture. I can also do tutoring for pupils aged 7 to 18 as well as help an older person wishing to improve their level of English for professional purposes.

    Get this English POPPING! Dynamic English courses
    Hi there!! Let's finally make THIS ENGLISH POPPING! Student at the Law School of the Sorbonne, I teach English at all levels (A1-C2) and prepare for the FCE and CAE diploma. I was accepted at the University of Cambridge, LSE and UCL in London. I acquired my level of English by myself, and working this language since my 6 years, I understand the difficulties that can experience the students and I try to give tips to better master English. The course will be held exclusively in English, with a large part devoted to oral, since the fluency of the language is acquired above all by practice. The practice is above all centered on themes that the student is passionate about to make the course interesting. If a theoretical part is necessary, I suggest working with PDF manuals to develop the vocabulary as much as possible and be able to use it fluently thereafter. I am a cheerful, simple person who always has interesting topics for discussion! EXPERIENCE: 3-4 years HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON !! Anna G.
