    English tutoring for all levels and all purposes :)

    I am a 25-year-old Australian law student who has come to live in Berlin for a year. I would like to help anyone who wants to learn English (at any level) achieve their goals. I have been learning languages (French and German) since I was 12, so I know what it is like to learn a new language and the effort that is required. I have also learned in this time that everyone learns differently, and so I will take a flexible approach to tutor English so that you, the student, can get the most out of your time.

    As a law student, I have a lot of exposure to "proper" English, as I have to read around 300 pages of very high-level English every week and analyse the meaning behind the text. I am also expected to write all of my essays in this style.

    I am happy to teach English that is more directed towards study or work, but I am just as happy to teach everyday conversational English as well so that you can sound more like a native speaker (I can even throw in some Aussie slang if you'd like!).

    I look forward to hearing from you,

    Cheers,
    Sam

    About Me

    This year I am taking a break from my studies to live in Berlin. My goal behind this was to take a break after six years of study and also to improve my German skills after having started to learn German almost two years ago. After this year I will return to Melbourne to finish my study before coming back to Berlin to study a Masters in German law that will allow me to work here as a lawyer.

    I am keen to tutor English because over the last 5 years, in particular, I have really learned the value of being able to speak another language. Five years ago when I was travelling through Europe I felt a bit silly not being able to talk to many people in any of the countries that I went to. It was this that motivated me to start my Diploma in Languages after my holiday so that I could start seriously learning French. Having done that, I was then able to do a semester of exchange in Paris (at Sciences Po) and take all of my classes in French, and it felt great being able to achieve this. Now that I have learned some German and spent time living in Berlin, I am able to enjoy life here much more because I can speak to the locals, read German news, and feel as though I am a part of the city rather than just a visitor.

    I think that learning English would be a fantastic skill for any non-native speaker to have. So much online content is in English, and when two people can't speak the same language, it is usually English that they turn to. Learning a new language opens doors to new parts of the world and new people, and I think that this is particularly so with English.

    My hobbies include sport, reading, and music, and I would be happy to chat about any of these things and work them into any lessons. I believe that I am a very relaxed person and very easy to get along with, but I am also highly organised and value structure when it comes to learning.

    I hope to hear from you soon!

    Cheers,
    Sam

    Education

    THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE
    - Bachelor of Commerce (Finance)
    - Diploma in Languages (French)

    Experience / Qualifications

    Whilst I have never had a proper tutoring position, I have been learning languages for a long time and so I know what works well and what doesn't work so well (but I also know that this changes for everyone). I have also had experience coaching sports teams and so have had to prepare training sessions and work with and lead a team.

    I want to make learning English fun! I aim to make learning stress free, something that is enjoyable rather than a chore or task. I'm also a musician and have found that people can learn English quite well through learning a song in English. I'm happy to help people of any level!

    Alexander
    Playful English for young children, fun but structured learning for the primary age
    Welcome. We teach by using immersion and part-immersion methods playful classes for younger children and fun, part-immersion learning for the older students. My name is Alexander. I have been a teacher, counseling teacher, and special needs manager in many English elementary and secondary schools. Excellent teaching and successful learning have always been my goal in private and public life. As an expert and holder of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in England in the field of education, I have always wanted to offer the highest quality teaching. This highest quality of teaching, the provision of qualified teachers (including myself), is and remains a priority in our school. As a person who believes in a world without borders and who likes Berlin, I decided two years ago to settle in Berlin. For a year I taught English in many Berlin elementary schools and kindergartens. During this time I noticed the need for qualified teachers instead of unqualified language instructors. As a result, I asked myself the following question: why not offer high-quality language services provided by qualified teachers; the teachers who have a university education?

My job is to get the student confident enough to be able to answer questions comfortably in a high pressure exam setting. I will work together with the student on concepts that they find difficult and any other conceptual issues they may encounter.

    Conversational virtual classes in English for young people and adults
    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.

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.

    I can help you improve your writing and get rid of the grammatical errors. I can also help you ameliorate your speaking as we can practice and discuss several different topics.

I can also prepare lessons depending on what you’d like to do or if you do not have a specific plan in mind, I can create the schedule for the classes. In the Arabic class, I can help you with the more basic details and the tutoring would be more of an introduction to the language.
