English Language Classes "Believe you can and you are half way there." Learning is a mindset...

Let's connect! Together we'll explore the best way *for you* to learn and practice English, based on your needs and goals! Whether you're at your ABCs or looking to polish up those business e-mails, I'm prepared to help you!

We all learn and connect with language(s) in very individual ways. Some of us are really more adept at picking up new vocab, while others will diligently study the rules first. Whatever *your* way, let's find out together and develop what could turn into an amazing journey into the world of English for you and perhaps a new sense of belonging to the world altogether.

About Me

Hi there! I'm Martina. Fascinated by language and in love with the word! I work with children in the Wellbeing sector, teaching kids yoga and plant-based cooking, on an individual and small groups basis as well as kids yoga parties! Having also tutored the 5-9 age group in the past, I'm currently adding a TEFL and IELTS qualification to my bag of tricks! I'm here to offer English classes/ tutoring to both children and adults, yoga classes for children and families and cooking activities!

Bulgarian is my mother tongue, I have native proficiency of English, can hold a conversation in Spanish and currently attempting to speak Portuguese! We'll add a first year of Linguistics while at university, a compulsion for note-taking and to-do lists and a renewed love for poetry writing...that's a little about me and my love for language!

What about the world of children? They entered my life, professionally, 5 years ago and changed it...for the better! Teaching me patience, reminding me to remain curious and to laugh...a lot!

Now over to you... let's learn and grow together!

Great personality. Very sympathetic and easy to work with.
Martina is a lovely and motivating person! It's easy to forget we're in a class with the conversation flowing so naturally. I really enjoyed it! Thanks Martina!
My daughter who is 11, took online Yoga classes with Martina, and she really enjoyed it. Martina had a way to connect with her which worked very well; during the class, when teaching to my daughter Yoga movements, and after the class, as Martina asked my daughter to reflect on a number of subjects which were always excellent and helped her notice and appreciate what was around her. So overall, this was a brilliant experience with a brilliant teacher I fully recommend.
Known as the ancient Indian practice of yogic sleep, a complete relaxation of body and mind, allowing only an inner awareness of the spirit to be discovered and given attention. To serve you. It’s a way to totally relax as you’re guided into meditation to explore the qualities of self-care and self-nourishment. We often lead busy schedules at work and home, with long to-do lists and responsibilities in all areas of life. Sometimes we crash and need a reset. Yoga Nidra is where it all comes to a standstill, giving yourself the opportunity to recuperate. To integrate a sense of belonging. To feel at home within ourselves by honouring the subtle voice within and creating a loving, cozy feeling of wholeness. Suitable for practitioners of all levels and abilities. Especially suitable for those who enjoy (the idea of) naps!
Reiki Healing invites us to surrender to that which is bigger than us - energy. In Japan, we know it as 'ki'. In China we say 'qi'. In India and yogic traditions we call it 'prana'. It's our vital life force that flows through every cell of every being, reminding us that we are all connected and that disharmony and disease comes from disconnect. As you rest lying down or seated to receive Reiki through gentle touch, we are both intending to dissolve any blockages in your body which are preventing you from a full, joyful experience of life. Reiki enhances any traditional, allopathic and other complementary treatments. It invites us to surrender to its potent, yet gentle healing; to refrain from asking 'how'; to stay open to the possibility of powerful transformations and to allow it to realign us back to our path of feeling balanced in mind, body and spirit. Reiki teaches us to trust in our own facilitation of wellbeing, the Reiki Therapist purely delivering it to you. You are your healing, because you've intended it so. Because you've surrendered control. Because your desire to feel whole eclipses our conditioned despair.
Yoga for children with Martina is where children can speak and be heard; play and be seen; move and be moved - in mindful and inspiring ways. Where children are encouraged to be happy, calm, and confident in who they are. A fun, creative, and safe environment for children and teens to engage in group activities with their peers as well as family-based sessions. Yoga for children is a wonderful asset to their growth and development. A holistic learning time, cultivates patience, compassion, and respect for the self, one another, and all living beings. We’ll explore the body’s natural movements through yoga, so that we can increase our strength and flexibility. We’ll discover how to relax our mind and look after our emotions. We’ll unearth our innate creativity through crafts and stories. We’ll learn how to improve our concentration, how to respect and embrace our differences and bond over our similarities. There will be high-energy times and quiet times; musical times and inventive times; laughing times, sharing times and concentrating times. All of that and more will be our yoga time, together. Yay! PLEASE NOTE: THIS CLASS IS FOR CHILDREN & TEENS, UP TO AND INCLUDING THE AGE OF 17. For a Family Class, please send a message
Tap, tap, tap to wild wellbeing! The possibilities of Emotional Freedom Technique, simply referred to as Tapping, to heal and bring a sense of calm amidst anxious thoughts and downward spirals, are countless. Whether we’re holding onto past hurts or recovering from physical and emotional pain, tapping on a sequence of specific points, located on our face and upper body, can ease us back into a sense of balance and peace. Melting away negativity, untangling anxiety or clearing fears, addictions and low-moods are some of the disharmonies that tapping can help tackle. By applying gentle, but firm pressure, in a tapping motion to stimulate the acupoints along the path of meridians, together we address the ball of tension and stress that we are so accustomed to carrying, restoring our natural sense of feeling good...really good! And FREE! Can you imagine!?

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!

Hello, I am Majda, French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2018. I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level? Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation. I am available !
