    Private or group English lessons for adults or children

    I am currently offering private or group English lessons for school-aged students and adults who already have some prior knowledge of English.

    School-aged students:
    I enjoy tailoring lessons to the individual and figuring out how to best encourage them to find enthusiasm and confidence in the subject. I think the benefit with private tuition is that, if a student is struggling, we have the time to go back to basics to build a good grounding in the subject matter so that they can confidently progress without gaps in their knowledge. In all cases, I like to keep the school curriculum as a good basis for what they need to know, but going beyond this, being creative and building an enjoyment and understanding of the subject leads to true learning.

    Because each student is different, I would like to talk to you or the student themselves (if appropriate) about what they need to know and what their problems are etc. so that I can make some suggestions as to how to proceed.

    Furthermore, I find that teaching in small groups of similar abilities can add a very beneficial dynamic - the students enjoy it more and we can have meaningful discussions, which I beleive really aids learning.

    Adult lessons:
    I offer in-depth help to those who would like to improve their professional English and obtain a more native-like style, in particular with their writing.

    I was an editor of a short story magazine (Out of Print Magazine) and worked as a proofreader of academic work, often helping non-native speakers of English edit papers being prepared for publication, or helping university students with their theses or dissertations. I enjoy grammar and explaining conventions and enabling students to understand how to write in a native-type way independently.

    If you have an intermediate to advanced level of English but feel you want to push your skills further, I would love to help you.

    However, please bare in mind that I am a UK native so the writing conventions I use and know the best are British English.

    About Me

    I am a native English speaker who loves languages and loves teaching!

    I have mostly lived and worked in the UK, but have also lived in Sweden, the Netherlands, India and now Germany, so I know what it is like to engage with a new culture and a new language. In fact, I am in the process of learning German at the moment and speak Swedish (although not well enough to teach in this medium).

    I spent some time editing and proofreading, but found that what gives me the most satisfaction is working with people and helping them (for example when I could sit with a client and go through, in detail, how they can learn from my edits). This is why I worked in education for some time, but I also worked with people with learning disabilities outside an educational setting.

    Simply, I love seeing people progress - whether it be in knowledge, confidence or suddenly finding a subject they previously didnt like enjoyable.

    Education

    I have a BA(Hons) Linguistics from University College London and an MRes Social Work from the University of Edinburgh.

    I have approximately 3 years cumulative experience of teaching and tutoring privately and in schools.

    Experience / Qualifications

    * Editorial experience: Previous Editor of Out of Print Magazine where I judged submissions for the regular issues, but also the competitions we ran in conjuction with a newspaper (Daily News Analysis) and edited the selected stories.

    * Academic English: I am proofreader of academic work, helping non-native (and sometimes native) speakers of English edit their professional or university work.

    * Teaching in schools: I have worked in schools and privately back in the UK, mainly teaching English (but also Maths and Science) to both primary and pre-university students. In schools I have delivered targeted English interventions of my own design to classes and worked actively with the school to give struggling students extra support.

    *Private tuition: I have delivered tuition in English, Maths, Science and Public Speaking in small classes and one-to-one sessions. I always work with the student's school material and follow their curriculum, but also stretching the content of the lessons beyond this to encourage independent learning, and an active interest and enthusiasm for the subject matter. Furthermore, some of my students have had English as a second language.

    *Special educational needs students: Some of my past students have had learning disabilities and/or behavioural problems, or have had very low levels of literacy (through teaching in specialist schools).

    Dear student/Querido alumno My name is Denise I’m a Mexican Spanish as foreign Language teacher (ELE Español Lengua Extranjera as acronym) certified by "Escuela Internacional Cervantes" with a Bachelor in Spanish Literature by the University of Nuevo León Mexico (UANL). I started teaching and tutoring Spanish at a very young age helping my colleagues from High School achieve better scores and later I formalize this activity while finishing my university studies. For the last six years, I’ve been teaching Spanish in America and Europe to a broad variety of students: children/teenage tutoring, in-company adult students, online orientation and freelance translation for diverse projects. I follow a flexible method adapting to the student’s level and wishes, working together in an amicable way. During our classes the student will receive exercises, activities and extra resources as a plus for their class time. My tools are diverse: textbooks, videos, podcast, newspapers, etc. Suggested textbooks are the following: Gramática de uso del español. A1- b2 Teoría práctica. Ed. S.m. Aula Internacional Levels 1-4 We can discuss politics, arts, fashion or your favorite topic in order to develop your verbal or grammatical skills. I invite you to contact me in case of further doubts and I hope to help you in your new language project. ** Since my schedule is constantly changing due to the needs of my students and labor life, I strongly recommend to first send a message to me and discuss about your timetable possibilities, the one depicted below is an estimate. This to give the best experience and service possible. Denise

    Gamze
    Experienced English Teacher (B.S.Ed.) / Gifted Education Mentor (M.S.Ed.)
    Hi there! I am an English teacher with 10 years of experience. In addition to teaching at school, I give interactive and holistic English lessons to groups or individuals. My academic field is the education of gifted students. I also conduct out-of-school support activities with these students and provide counseling to parents. Before we start working together, I offer a free initial meeting to get to know you and understand your needs. I am based in Haarlem, the Netherlands but I also offer online classes all over the world. I believe that any kind of effective learning is an adventure that begins with a personal bond and ends with autonomy. Peter Drucker says, "Learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change, and the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn." In this age, every paradigm is changing very fast, so the teacher must help students find out how they learn best. Instead of continuing to deliberately learn something for years, let's find this "know-how" for English and ourselves together!

For children, I will work with a shared document, where I will keep a record of your child’s progress, the actives we did and their homework. Parents are welcome to be present. For adults I will provide a shared document of your homework and progress. I am happy to offer online or in person sessions for children/adults. I can also offer help with university applications in the United Kingdom and English examination preparation and application.

    French language classes for beginners who want to speak French.
    French is spoken by 220 million in 5 continents or more speakers. It is the 2nd most commonly learned language after English, and it comes 6th for the number of people who speak it. It is one of the most preferably spoken languages in the world. It is very important to learn French because you will increase your chances of communicating in a non-English speaking country. In my French language classes, you will learn how to communicate in french. We will start with ; Greetings. You can begin with simples expressions as : Bonjour (hello), Au revoir (good bye), Comment allez vous ? (how are you?), Je m'appelle... ... Numbers, weather expressions, alphabet, how to tell time... ... The 6 possible french pronouns. ... Verbs and conjugation. ... Common nouns and adjectives.
