    English lessons for all levels and all purposes (Progress guaranteed)
    I give English lessons in Tunis or online to all levels varying from beginner to advanced individually or for a group. The lesson can be done in the customers house depending on their preference. Lessons will generally last between 90 to 120 minutes depending on what the student wants. The way I teach is not a conventional way. I usually try to involve my students as much as possible in my lessons and try to make them independent so that they continue progressing even after we are done with the lessons. I can guarantee your progress during these English lessons in exchange I only ask for your motivation and your willingness to progress

    English Private Lessons Online or Face to Face ESL
    Hello! My name is Alexia, I am 26 years old and I had graduated the Faculty of Foreign Languages, English and Russian. I am Romanian and currently I live in Cyprus. Few words about me: - I had graduated the Faculty of Foreign Languages, English and Russian (bachelor and master's); - I own a certificate that offers me the possibility to teach in Romanian schools; - I tutored since my first year in university; - I studied with Erasmus Scholarship in Russia, I was volunteer in Turkey where I teached high schoolers English, I had a Work and Travel experience in the USA; - I worked in a youth organization with and for foreign young volunteers; - I worked in Ireland where I spoke only English. At present, my "full time" job is tutoring (soon I will have an English speaking club). I offer private lessons to children, young people, and ladies who can understand very basic English, or who are Romanians. I also can teach Russians, as long as there is a very basic level of English. *by knowledge of very basic English I mean the person to be able to read and knows some words. The lessons will be in English, and the native language will not be used much. My approach is to teach English in English, which is one of my favourite ways to learn a new language (personal experience). What I offer? Private lessons that focus on the person's needs (grammar, vocabulary, speaking, help for school lessons). The materials offered are digital and printed *if the lesson is face to face. The information is taken from English handbooks and they are adapted to each lesson. !! The first lesson is FREE. !! I offer parents feedback after each session, and also a monthly one that shows the progress of the student. I offer lessons online or at my home (Limassol, near Dasoudi). You can follow my educational page on Instagram (the pink one): an_english_cup_of_tea For more information please text my on WhatsApp or DM me on Instagram. I look forward to meeting you!
