ESL academic and creative writing skills for women and girls.

From 26.53 $ /h

The ability to write coherently with ease in English opens up a world of opportunities, no matter where you are from: study abroad, impress a potential employer, or get your academic work published in an international journal. If you have a creative flair, why not learn how to hone your skills and start that blog or write that book you've always dreamed of?

As an experienced ESL teacher with a degree in Anglophone Cultures and Literature, I can show you how. I am a published writer and a blogger, and have been trained in creative writing specifically, both in Algiers and abroad. Having grown up in the UK, I speak and write English with proficiency, in addition to my native Arabic and French.

The class will focus mainly on academic essay writing, creative non-fiction, dialogue writing, punctuation, style and register. Additional topics may be added according to students' needs.

Extra information

This class will be taught online, so students must have access to a laptop, tablet or smartphone with Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and PDF already installed.

About Me

Hello everyone, and salam alaykum to fellow Muslims! My name is Safia, I now live in Algiers, but I spent my most formative and... awkward years in the UK. In London, I slowly blossomed from wide-eyed child to gawking teenager, an elegant process I am sure a few of you know a thing or two about first-hand.

The gawking teenager is long-gone now, and has been replaced by a mature, sedate adult with many responsibilities and no sense of humour. I studied Anglophone Civilisations and Literature in university, taught English in various schools and then from home, and dabbled in everything from theatre and comics to French patisserie and ice-cream making. I have worked as a translator, proofreader and volunteer student magazine editor. I have trained in creative writing and in 2016 became a certified Cambridge English Speaking Examiner.

I now teach from home as I raise my own wide-eyed child, a baby girl who is currently working on her fourth tooth.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Both speaking classes and those not specifically focused on oral expression are individual, personalized, and planned according to each student's interests and goals. Speaking classes focus on fluency, pronunciation, and confidence in real-life situations, while other classes address academic or professional needs, such as exam preparation, debates, or presentations. In both cases, the focus is on supporting your progress with relevant content tailored to your personal goals.

I am an American living in Switzerland. English is my first language, as well as having been one of my primary studies during my time in college. I excel in English at all levels; however, my primary focus is to help people through the beginner and intermediate stages. As someone who learned English as their first language, I find the textbook way of teaching English to be a little rigid; my goal is to help you learn English in the most natural way possible.

Most people don't struggle with English because they don't know it, they struggle because they've stopped believing they can. I've been teaching English since 2018, and with a background in psychology, I don't just teach the language, I understand why you hesitate, why you doubt yourself, and what it actually takes to break through that.
Every student I work with gets a personalized method built around how they learn and where they want to go. Because you don't need another generic English class — you need someone who understands you and teaches you accordingly. Happy Learning!

As a student teacher, my way of working with primary school students is based on a fundamental idea: children learn best when they understand, participate, and feel capable.
My methodology is based on:
My tutoring sessions are based on Project-Based Learning (PBL) and active learning methodologies. This means that we don't just work with worksheets or repetitive exercises, but rather that the learning is meaningful and connected to their reality.
I work especially:
- Reading comprehension and text comprehension techniques
- Spanish Language
- Math
- English
I adapt each session to the child's pace, using visual, dynamic and practical materials that promote motivation and participation.

Do you want to speak English with more confidence, clarity, and comfort? This class is designed for students who want to improve their real-life communication skills—whether for travel, work, studying abroad, or simply connecting with people from around the world.

My name is Nelson, and I am a passionate English teacher from Tanzania with three years of experience helping students of all ages and levels achieve their language goals. I currently teach online from Russia, and I've worked with students in classrooms, one-on-one online, and even helped a student pass the IELTS exam to immigrate to Canada.

What makes my class different?

· Practical, real-world focus – We don't just study grammar rules. We practice speaking, listening, and responding naturally in everyday situations.
· Relaxed and supportive environment – Mistakes are welcome here! I believe learning happens best when you feel comfortable and encouraged.
· Personalized to YOU – Every student has different goals. Whether you need English for work, travel, exams, or just for fun, I adapt each lesson to fit your needs.
· Cultural insights – As someone who has lived in Tanzania, visited the USA and South Africa, and now lives in Russia, I bring a global perspective to our conversations.

What we can work on together:

· Everyday conversation and small talk
· Pronunciation and accent improvement
· Grammar made simple and clear
· Business English and professional communication
· Exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, school exams)
· Reading, writing, and listening comprehension

I speak English (C1), Swahili (native), and Russian (B1–B2) , so I truly understand the challenges of learning a new language. Let's work together to build your confidence and help you express yourself freely in English!
