Primary & Secondary School tutoring: German, French and English

Hi! My name is Joana and I am originally from Luxembourg. Growing up in Luxembourg allowed me to be fluent in our three national languages: Luxembourgish, French and German (Native Proficiency).
After graduating from high school with a specialisation in modern languages and humanities, I moved to the United Kingdom to study Journalism. Living in London for over three years allowed me to perfect my written and spoken English. Since I've been 16, I have been giving private tutoring lessons both to primary and secondary school students.

I currently teach the following subjects:
•German
•French
•English

Emma
French Tutoring for Middle School or High School Students
As a French native speaker, I can work with you on your French language class homework, and go through grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and anything you don't understand well. I have some general knowledge of French literature, so if your homework consists of more advanced tasks like analyzing a text or writing essays, that's something we can do too.

Salome
French lessons or tutoring for elementary/high school students
Born and raised in France but educated partly in Australia. I am very used to handling relationships with individuals from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My method is to structure courses in two halves: conversations on specific news, social or cultural topics with the help of videos, pictures or articles and then focusing on the main vocabulary or grammar issues faced. This method is particularly adapted for students who have had a first scholar basis in french but who have not practised for a long time and want to upgrade their level in a daily conversational context. Alternatively, for students learning French as a second language at school, I will gladly help with the homework and focus on the main difficulties.

Elena

Naomi
Graduated bachelor's student and provides tutoring in the languages English, French or Latin.
I can help with various skills such as writing, reading, speaking, completing assignments or quizzing. Where necessary, I can also help with good planning to learn the material on time and efficiently. I was raised bilingual (English/Dutch), so for English I can help with all the above skills. The student can indicate what is most needed and we can plan the lessons based on that. In French I am at B2 level so I can help with all the above skills up to that level. I completed Latin at grammar school level in secondary school. So I can help with quizzing, making assignments and translating texts.

French lessons from kids to seniors. From beginner to expert !
Hello, I would like to propose help you learning and progressing in French. I trust the best is to equally work on listening, reading and speaking but we can also focus on one aspect if you need to. I love to teach my native tongue in a fun way !

Agustina
Spanish classes. Basic, intermediate and advanced levels. Conversation and grammar, all ages
I specialize in helping students maintain a fluent conversation in Spanish using class time to improve pronunciation and fluency. At the same time, the student is provided with a practical guide where grammar will be explained and they will be able to do infinite practical exercises that help them improve their understanding and analysis of text. We also work with images, sounds and videos so that the student can recognize, interpret for themselves and improve their hearing ability. At the basic and intermediate levels I use a system where the student can listen, copy and repeat information similar to the beginning of learning their native language. I assign homework after each lesson and report student progress month by month.

Mathematics, English, French, Dutch, geography, biology, history
I specialize in teaching Math, English, French, Biology, History and Geography. My goal is to challenge the learner / student and so to speak, "let the brain work", but not too overwhelming. I give homework if the parent is okay with it, and provide periodic progress reports. I teach at locations such as in the park, at my home or with the student / pupil.

Paul-Antoine
Private French lessons (open to schoolchildren and those wishing to learn French)
Hello, My name is Paul-Antoine and I live in Amsterdam where I am a student. I am currently studying at the University of Amsterdam in the PPLE bachelor (Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics). From French parents, I followed all my education in the French system abroad and I speak French fluently. In these support courses which can be academic or simply an aid to the deepening of the language, I will bring my personal culture and my recent readings which will also allow the student to discover another facet of French literature. In addition, these courses are also open to those who simply want to learn French. If you would like more information on the learning methods that I will be offering, I invite you to contact me. Regards, Paul Anthony

Phillip
Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
