Dear Sirs and Madames,

I gave private tutoring for a long time during university.
As a student of human rights and then as a project worker
I have already given language courses for refugees so that they can study successfully. (Learning buddy program: Start with a friend).

Now I teach my native language in Vienna. After my work as a project worker, I was an intern at the Advocacy Section of the United Nations where I was responsible for translations on a daily basis.

In the course of my work, I have worked with other teachers and developed my own teaching methods. In order to guarantee an effective education for the students, I offer varied lessons with oral and written exercises that correspond to the students' goals.

Sincerely yours,
Claire.

Hi,
My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is on developing English language communication in a fluid and structured way, whether to prepare for international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate adequately in the professional field, or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.
I have a degree, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English since I was a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School and lived for a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA, I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.
In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts and this helped me prepare for my studies in the US I had several communication classes, learning techniques on how to speak better using not only our words, but also our body to help us speak in a way more natural, calm and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduating I worked for a year, mainly having long conversations on the phone with people from all over the country.
Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I will prepare you so that you can meet your objectives. It could be studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving communication in the professional field or practicing so as not to lose the level previously acquired.
If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I am going to help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times, that is why I design my classes individually.

Are you trying to level up quickly to beat your peers in chess? You just found recently the game exciting and wanna learn more about it? Or are you preparing for a company or informal/formal chess tournament?

I've got your back. With my personalized training, you will be able to improve your game in a few weeks. I will provide you with the tactics, strategies, openings, material, and a training plan so you can study on your own and become a better player in no time.

What is in the training lessons:
- Measure of your current level
- Finding your playing style
- Personalized training plan (openings, middle game, end game, tactics, strategy, time management)
- Level up your skill and depth of thought (being able to think many moves beyond your opponent)
- If you want to improve your blitz/bullet level I can also help you with that!

About me:
As a seasoned chess player with over 15 years of experience, I have honed my skills and competed in various international tournaments, showcasing my love for the game. However, my passion for chess has transcended competition, and in 2018, I made the decision to transition into a career as a professional chess tutor. Now, I find great joy in sharing the intricacies and beauty of chess with my students, and helping them to develop their own strategies and techniques. It's incredibly fulfilling to see my students grow in their understanding of the game and to watch their progress over time.

We can even try an online lesson if you don't want to spend time commuting. I know how difficult is to find the right mentor and therefore I offer you this option to help you.

Looking forward to meeting you and helping you improve your chess skills soon.
Talk to you soon,
Leo

ENG - Whether you are a beginner or an advanced English speaker, my classes focus on English learning for children, students, and adults who have difficulty speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Whether your goal is to boost your professionalism, improve your writing style, or simply enhance your knowledge, I intend to help you reach it! In the beginning session(s), I work with you to determine your level of expertise and comfortability with the language, pinpointing areas that may need extra attention. Together, we would go through the rules, structure, and other aspects of the English language that you should be aware of, assessing your knowledge through interactive activities geared toward topics that interest you. In our meetings, my intention is to help you improve your communication skills by strengthening areas of weakness, whether in vocabulary and grammar, verbal/reading comprehension, holding conversations, pronunciation, or any other area you hope to work on. At the end of each session, I like to provide valuable feedback about your progress and assign helpful practice work to enhance your understanding of the practical and theoretical aspects of the English language.

Through these one-on-one sessions, my priority is to keep it engaging and stimulating, tailoring the classes to you and your preferences!

PORT - Quer você seja um falante de inglês iniciante ou avançado, minhas aulas se concentram no aprendizado de inglês para crianças, alunos e adultos que têm dificuldade em falar, ouvir, ler e escrever. Quer o seu objetivo seja aumentar o seu profissionalismo, melhorar o seu estilo de escrita ou simplesmente aumentar o seu conhecimento, pretendo ajudá-lo a alcançá-lo! Nas sessões iniciais, trabalho com você para determinar seu nível de conhecimento e conforto com o idioma, identificando áreas que podem precisar de atenção extra. Juntos, passaríamos pelas regras, estrutura e outros aspectos da língua inglesa que você deveria conhecer, avaliando seu conhecimento por meio de atividades interativas voltadas para temas de seu interesse. Em nossas reuniões, minha intenção é ajudá-lo a melhorar suas habilidades de comunicação, fortalecendo áreas de fraqueza, seja em vocabulário e gramática, compreensão verbal/leitura, conversas, pronúncia ou qualquer outra área que você deseje trabalhar. No final de cada sessão, gosto de fornecer feedback valioso sobre seu progresso e atribuir trabalhos práticos úteis para aprimorar sua compreensão dos aspectos práticos e teóricos do idioma inglês.

Hello! My name is Lucía, and I'm an experienced language teacher, native Spanish speaker, and bilingual English communicator. I offer Spanish and English lessons for all levels, both in the Madrid area and online. With a background in journalism, a Cambridge CELTA certification, and years of experience as a teacher, translator, and interpreter, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my classes.

As someone who has experienced life in different countries and contexts, I believe language learning is about more than just grammar and vocabulary; it's a window into the culture, history, and unique worldview of its speakers. That's why I design my lessons to not only improve your language skills but also to immerse you in the cultural contexts that shape the way people use language. My goal is to tailor each lesson to meet your individual needs, helping you discover the learning methods that work best for you while unlocking your full potential for communication and cultural understanding.

Whether you're looking to improve your Spanish or English for personal, professional, or academic reasons, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's make language learning an exciting journey of discovery!

Hello! My name is Lucía and I am a language teacher, translator and interpreter from English to Spanish, and social communicator. I teach Spanish or English lessons at all levels, both in person in the Madrid area and online. I have studied social communication and journalism, and I am certified as a teacher with CELTA through Cambridge University; all this, combined with years of experience as a teacher and interpreter, allows me to apply a variety and wealth of knowledge to my classes.

As someone who has lived in many different countries and contexts, I firmly believe that the process of learning a language is about much more than memorizing grammar and vocabulary, it is about opening a window into the culture, history, and unique life perspective of its speakers. For this reason, I design my lessons not only with the aim of improving your language skills, but also to introduce you to the experience of immersing yourself in the cultural contexts that determine the way people use language in real life. My approach is to create and structure each class session according to your individual needs, helping you to try out and discover the learning methods that best suit your style, a key process to discover your potential for both cultural understanding and effective, fluent communication.

Whether you want to improve your Spanish or English for personal, professional or academic reasons, I am here to accompany you every step of the way. Let's turn your language learning process into a journey of exciting discovery!

The student will be able to see different places in the capital of Spain without leaving the classroom and learn Spanish. My learning idea is based on interactive activities between my student and me, with word games, card games to improve the syllabi. I will also bring printed exercises for the denser syllabi and for reading comprehension activities in Spanish. We will see a text in which different topics will be discussed and the student must understand what each paragraph says. For this last exercise, I will use the texts and printed images from my printed edition of Guía de Madrid.

This course suggests that we enter a level of English that allows you to deal with your personal life and your professional life. Furthermore, the idea is to be able to talk about the media, to function in different environments. It is also important in this course to think about eating. How nice it is to know how to order a good plate of food or go to a gym knowing how to talk to people. Here you can delve into the different greetings and means of establishing contact with Spanish.

I offer dynamic and interactive English classes where you'll learn without even realizing it. Forget about memorizing endless lists of words or translating phrases without context: here you learn by speaking, listening, playing, and practicing real-life situations.

What will you find in my classes?
• Real conversations from day one
• Games, debates, challenges and activities adapted to your level
• Personalized classes based on your goals (travel, exams, work, leisure, etc.)
• Modern tools and attractive materials
• A relaxed environment where you can lose your fear of making mistakes

Learning English can be a great plan.
Book your class and start enjoying the process!

I guide my students from beginner to advanced levels, helping them gain confidence, improve their fluency, and achieve their academic or professional goals in

• English
• French or
• Spanish

Native level English with dynamic, practical and personalized classes according to the age, level and objectives of the student.
Extensive experience with those who are learning the language from scratch or want to improve for work.

I have a special enthusiasm for teaching children, using play and dynamic activities to create a solid foundation in the language from an early age.

I spent the last four years teaching languages in schools and colleges in England to students ranging from age six to adults, and it's a joy to share my passion for languages with others. I now live in Madrid and am eager to connect with families, groups of students, or individual tutors who would like one-on-one lessons to improve their confidence and fluency in Spanish, French, and English.

My own experience learning Spanish and French inspires me to find diverse and creative ways to strengthen my understanding of grammar rules and vocabulary. I love exploring a language through movies, music, news, games, and more.

From my experience, creating a relationship based on trust and shared interests helps my students develop their skills, confidence, and fluency.

I'm really looking forward to starting this language learning journey with you!
