    Conversational and Professional English with a CELTA certified teacher
    I love helping students and clients grow in their ability to understand and express themselves in English. In addition to language classes, I can offer personalised coaching to help you achieve your personal or professional English-language goals. Whether you're preparing for an English proficiency exam, presenting at an academic conference or to an international business customer, one-on-one coaching can help you prepare for the situations when you need to speak or write confidently in English. From pronunciation practice, to vocabulary and grammar, I can create a custom program designed to meet your needs. I am a native (American) English speaking English language teacher and coach with a Bachelor of Arts degree, magna cum laude, and the Cambridge University CELTA certificate, Pass A. The Pass A is awarded to approximately 5% of CELTA graduates each year. I have experience teaching English as a Foreign Language to both adults and children. I am comfortable teaching online (using Zoom) and face-to-face, and in business and academic settings. I have experience teaching individuals, small groups, and classes of 15 or more students.

    German and English Tutoring by Cambridge Certified Tutor
    [German description below] I have a master's degree in German Studies, and I am C2 proficient in English. Besides extensive work as a translator, I have experience tutoring university students from abroad, as well as refugees, and even my Czech girlfriend. Not just in English and German, but also specifically working to understand the Swiss dialects. Thus I have a broad knowledge base that deals in all possible lingual backgrounds. I think in any language learning is easiest when respecting the unique backgrounds of people and their language, and focusing rather on the communalities than the differences. Being knowledgeable about linguistics certainly helps in achieving this. I believe in a personal approach, thus I would sit down with you and figure out what your goals are, your strengths, and your resources, either in person or via online tutoring. I have a master's degree in German and am certified in the English language thanks to a diploma from the University of Cambridge. In addition to my experience as a translator, I also have experience in teaching students and teaching languages to refugees. And my Czech friend also receives lessons from me. All of this not just in English and Standard German, but also in the context of understanding Swiss dialects. So I have a broad wealth of knowledge and experience in dealing with all kinds of linguistic backgrounds. I believe that the easiest way to learn any language is to respect the individuality of the student and the peculiarities of their native language. I focus on identifying the similarities. My academic background in linguistics certainly helps. I am an advocate of a personal approach, so I would first sit with you and discuss what your goals are, your skills and desires. Both in person and via video chat.

    Jack Lachlan
    English with an experienced native speaker from Britain
    Hi there! My name is Jack, and I'm a native speaking English teacher from Great Britain. I have a CELTA teaching qualification from Cambridge English, and more than four years of experience teaching English in primary and secondary schools, private language schools, English language summer camps, and private English classes. I offer private classes for children, teenagers, and adults, preparation classes for the Cambridge or school exams, and conversation classes. I aim to push students to get the best they possibly can out of classes without overwhelming them, and I offer periodic progress reports. Conversation is the best method for learning a language. In my classes we will speak a lot to practice fluency, grammar, vocabulary and exam preparation. Alongside this I normally include a mixture of games and activities that have been proven to aid learning. I strongly believe that the best classes are fun and interesting, but also academically rigorous.
