Conversation Classes for English Learners - Intermediate to Advanced

Van 29.93 $ /h

This class is for intermediate to advanced English learners looking to feel more confident with their speaking abilities. I have been working as a professional English teacher for two years and have experience teaching people from all over the world (as I have been teaching online as well as in Spain). My classes are informative but always fun. I want you to feel comfortable and to be the best speaker you can! We can choose topics each week or just chat organically. I was a journalist back in the states for some time and am currently doing a masters in anthropology, so we can talk about pretty much everything. I hope to see you soon!

Extra informatie

For the first class, we will meet in a public place. From then, I am willing to travel to your home or work place! We can also have the class via Skype or Google Hangouts.

Over

Hello! My name is Brittany. I'm 27 and am from the US. I grew up on the east coast but also spent eight years in California before moving to Spain for two years to teach English. Now, I am living in Leuven, where I am pursuing a Masters in Anthropology!

I understand the struggles of learning as I have been studying Spanish for many years. After moving to Spain, I understand what it's like to be overwhelmed by the intricacies of communication in another language. My classes are fun, judgment free zones.

This course is fitted individually, depending on the needs of the student.

If the student would like to focus on grammar then the material should be sent beforehand so I can have a chance to look at it and prepare for any questions that may arise.

If the student would like to focus on spelling and/or spoken English then no material should be sent beforehand, just an overview of the request.

If the student would like to focus on reading I'll supply the materials depending on their level.

As for math, I only teach high school students and first year University students. The material for the class should be sent to me beforehand so I can be better prepared to answer any questions.

We will work with language barrier, fears, the feeling of "understanding, but not talking".

It will be an easy-going class with elaborated communicative tools tailored individually. By default, the class incorporates grammar, pronunciation, style distinction.

Hello! I am an experienced English and Portuguese teacher with over 11 years of teaching experience.

- I graduated from high school in the United States and majored in Legal English.
- I have taught more than 500 students in different language schools, where I have been trained in different teaching methods.

I offer tailor-made lessons for:
- Proficiency tests (TESOL, TOEFL, etc.)
- Job interviews
- Business English
- Travel English
- Legal English
- General English for everyday life

- Personalized lessons, just for you
I believe that every student is unique. That's why I don't rely on standard textbooks. Instead, I tailor each lesson to your specific goals, level, and interests.

You'll be speaking English from day one! We'll talk about everything, especially the topics you enjoy most. While we focus on conversation, we'll also work on grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and current events to sharpen your argumentation skills.

Want to learn Portuguese? I do too!
Additionally, I am a certified Dutch speaker, which means I understand the challenges of learning a new language.

Let's make your language learning process effective, dynamic and fun!

In a personal learning route you walk on your own level and at your own pace through vocabulary, grammar and especially talking.
No school stuff, but a lot of variety to stimulate your GOESTING for the language and give a boost to your self-confidence.
YES, YOU CAN!
I am a certified language teacher (NL-ENG) with many years of experience in schools, adult education and companies, and consider me a 'language desire architect'.
Together we open doors in a creative way, we bring the world a piece of 'on your doorstep'.
And, who knows, in the near future you will have a (linguistic) lump richer!

I currently work as a private language teacher in Belgium and I have a good level of English. As I am not a native speaker, I do not give advanced lessons. People from any age, including kids, can follow my English lessons for levels A1, A2 and B1.

This lesson is suitable for any student who wants to sharpen his/her language skills and who wants to venture into learning and studying in a systematically structured way.

I offer almost everything for both English and Dutch - from spelling, grammar, speaking, (comprehension) reading, (creative) writing to tasting literature. I give homework in consultation with the student and I encourage a self-evaluating method.

As you acquire a new skill or enhance the proficiency of a new language skill, you will be guided in grammar, vocabulary, conversations, dictions and oral articulations to aide you in communicating better with other English speakers worldwide...conversational dates, outdoor excursions & day-day routine exercise can be requested.
Test preparations are inclusive! IELTS, TOEFL, General or Academic!

English at all levels:

- Speaking
- Writing
- Grammar
- Listening

In the first session, I will assess your level of English and also get an understanding of your interests and hobbies. I will then base the classes on things that you enjoy and find interesting. I found this an effective method when I took private Dutch classes

I believe that language is a powerful tool today. Not only does it help us understand the world from a different perspective, but it also teaches us the culture of the people who use it. I have had the opportunity to work with teenagers for 5 years now as a student associate in a science center, as a mentor and a lecturer in a different field. What I have learned from that experience is that first and foremost one must become a friend with their student, to understand their needs and their attitudes. I will do my best to make the classes fun by combining audio and visual material in my teaching. My field of study is Social and Cultural Anthropology.

Hi everyone,

I am a Belgian student, currently, I'm in my first master's year at the KULeuven. I chose a master's in 'Rehabilitation sciences and physiotherapy specialization musculoskeletal disorders'. During my bachelor years, I developed a very good basic knowledge of science subjects and mathematics: I studied statistics for 3 years, molecular cell biology, chemistry, physics, biomechanics, biochemistry and anatomy.
The quality of teaching of both the University of Leuven as the high school I went to (Heilig Hartcollege Tervuren) is something I am very happy/thankful for. I would love to share the education and the knowledge I acquired by supporting and teaching you or your child/teen. I would consider it as a sort of study pathway counseling. As I already have a bachelor's degree in one of the highest-ranked universities in Europe, I have a broad knowledge of quite some subjects.

I have a lot of experience working with children and teenagers, I have been a leader in a Scout for children aged 12 to 18. I have also been a tutor for 5 years now. I love working with other people as I am a very social, empathic, and motivated person.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have more questions about the topics and fields of study that I can cover, or if you have a special inquiry

I currently live in Belgium. Lessons can be taught in English or Dutch.
I hope to meet you soon and start working on enhancing those performances!

Kind regards,
Natalia

Do you want to improve your English? Need to prepare for an upcoming IELTS or TOEFL test?
I can help you!
My name is Michiel. I was an English teacher in Vietnam for nearly 5 years.
I have a lot of experience working both with kids and adults. I have helped many students get better at English
and improve their grade for an IELTS or TOEFL test.

As a teacher, I try not to talk too much myself. I want to give my students the materials and tools they need to discover the language and the rules themselves.
I want to give my students the opportunity to speak as much as possible during our classes.

After a first lesson, where we'll find out your level and talk about what you want to improve, we will follow a personalized course plan that fits your needs.
Don't hesitate to contact me. See you soon!

This class can also be taught online through Skype or Zoom.

Thanks to my experience with many different levels and ages (from a 3-year-old beginner to a 55-year-old engineer), I know exactly how to choose the right activity for your needs and learning style.

After an initial lesson, in which we determine your level and discuss what you want to improve, we follow a personalized course plan that suits your needs.
Don't hesitate to contact me. Bye!

This lesson can also be given online via Skype or Zoom.

I obtained a BA degree in English Language and Literature, as well as an English MA degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology at KU Leuven. This academic background has laid the foundation for my theoretical knowledge of the English language, especially my reading and writing skills. Additionally, I spent a semester in Dublin in order to improve my 'hands-on' speaking skills. I have a genuine passion for the English language which I hope to pass on to my students.

For my classes, I sit down with students to discuss their needs, and attune my course content accordingly. I try to combine theory with practice to keep the classes interesting and lively. Listening and reading skills are especially important in the learning process as they are essential elements to developing an intuitive sense of a language. Furthermore, I attempt to incorporate audiovisual material in order to keep the course content engaging. I am also always happy to discuss and/or lend English books, graphic novels, podcasts, films, music, YouTube clips etc with/to my students.

This class is taught using the Oxford method and handbooks.

Experienced teacher and, since 2002, a certified translator in Law;

Master in Philosophy (KU Leuven), carrying out a philosophy translation project.

Classical literature for exemplifying

Hi, I'm Sofia, a 19-year-old university student. I grew up attending an international school where I used English daily in both academic and social settings. As a result, I speak English at a native level. Although I do not yet have formal tutoring experience, I'm motivated, patient and passionate about helping children/students improve their English skills. I'm flexible and happy to adapt to the student's needs - whether they want to focus on speaking, reading, listening, writing, or need help with homework. If a student prefers to practice speaking or reading only, that's perfectly fine. Parents and students are welcome to share their goals and preferences. I'm available every day until mid-September. From the end of September onwards, I will be back at university, so I'll mainly be available on weekends. My evening schedule during the week is still unknown, but this can be discussed later on.

Hello, I'm Sofia, 19 years old, and a university student. As a child, I attended an international school, where I used English daily for years in both academic and social settings. As a result, I have a native-level command of the language. Although I don't have any formal tutoring experience, I am motivated, patient, and enthusiastic about helping children and students develop their English skills. I am flexible and happy to adapt to the student's needs. Whether it's just speaking, reading, listening, writing, or homework help—everything is available. For example, if a student mainly wants to practice speaking or reading, that's perfectly fine. Parents and students are always welcome to indicate what they need. I am available every day until mid-September. My program will resume at the end of September, so I will be able to teach mainly on weekends. My class schedule is not yet available, but we can discuss it together.
