English for Professionals and Students: Friendly, Internationally Experienced Teacher From the USA.

Since 2018 I've been teaching and tutoring English to students across the world. I've taught in the private sector, in schools, and now privately online. Many of my students work for international companies or have relocated (or plan to relocate) for work or study and have an immediate need to improve their English. Their goals often include things like better communication for business, making social connections, or simply making day-to-day life in a new country easier.

If this describes you, I can help! I've lived internationally for much of my adult life, and I completely understand all of the wonderful experiences, as well as the challenges, that come with communicating in an international setting.

In my lessons, I help clients to learn, retain, and USE new information. When we practice grammar structures, we do it in contexts that are meaningful and useful. When we learn new vocabulary, we practice by talking about interesting and memorable topics. Overall, my lessons are low-stress and conversational yet always focused on results.

If your first language isn't English, it can be difficult to express your "true self" in the language, but it gets much easier with practice and persistence! If you are an advanced level student, we'll also work on idiomatic language and cultural references. This helps boost your conversational skills and makes understanding English speakers in general a whole lot easier.

Whatever your English language goals are, send me a message, and I'll be happy to assist. We'll have a friendly chat about how I can best help you, and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

About Me

Hi, I'm Margie! I've been a certified ESOL teacher and tutor since 2018. Before deciding to work independently online, I taught in both traditional school settings and the private sector.
I teach English for individuals living/working in international environments where English is required, and exam preparation (TOEFL, IELTS). I have a friendly, relaxed style in my lessons, where learners can feel comfortable speaking and asking questions.
My professional interests include etymology, medical English and language acquisition theory. Outside of work I love learning new creative hobbies and listening to music.
Like a lot of English tutors, I love to travel. I've lived in several countries and am always planning my next destination for short and long term stays.

Education

My formal qualifications include a TEFL and a BA in Political Science. I hold certificates in IELTS and TOEFL preparation and am currently working on attaining OET preparation credentials.

Experience / Qualifications

I've worked as an English teacher and tutor since 2018 and genuinely enjoy helping people reach their goals with the language.
Standardized tests such as the TOEFL and IELTS put a lot of pressure on candidates, but I have good news! With strong foundational skills and smart test taking strategies, you can boost your score (and your confidence!) The way I approach TOEFL/IELTS preparation lessons depends on: -How much time you can commit to preparation before taking the exam -Which section or sections give you the most difficulty -Your current level and your desired score range -Your motivation for taking the test After a short assessment, we'll practice (some relaxed, some timed) using both short and long versions of past exam questions. I'll teach you to recognize and use the skill sets that apply to each section and learn how they intersect. This way, you'll gain a clearer understanding of how the exam works, lower your test anxiety, and feel more confident on your exam day. I've been helping students and professionals make these exams more manageable since 2019. My lessons are highly personalized and include written feedback and reference material for you to review and study in and out of class.

German course for adults and teens! (All skill levels)
I am a German native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides German, I speak English, Swedish, Spanish, French and Italian. Having learned 6 languages myself, I am 100% convinced that I will successfully teach you German(in a fun and relaxed manner)! Therefore, I offer a money-back guarantee: Should you not be satisfied with the results of a course with me, I will reimburse you! I have been teaching since 2018 and am currently one of the most-reviewed teachers on this platform. I encourage you to pause here and have a look at my reviews. I am confident that you too will have a similar view after having had some classes with me. On top of teaching here on Apprentus, I have taught offline group classes for the Volksuniversiteit The Hague (A Volksuniversiteit (litt. folk university) is an institute for non-formal adult education in the Netherlands). I also taught for and underwent training with Berlitz, which is one of, if not THE largest language school in the world, operating in over 70 countries and 500+ locations. I am 33 years old, have an honours degree from Leiden University, The Hague, am calm, encouraging, and, most importantly, PATIENT. My main objective in classes is to make the student feel relaxed and at ease. I encourage you to speak without fear of making mistakes. In fact, I celebrate making mistakes. "Why?", you may ask. Well, making mistakes means that you are leaving your comfort zone. You are trying something that you are not already skilled at. You don't choose the easy path! People who never make mistakes are stagnant. Therefore, making mistakes should be CELEBRATED instead of shunned! So, good on you for mispronouncing "Nachmittag (Afternoon)", or using the wrong grammar when making a sentence! Here, let me help you get it right this time! :) Do you already have German knowledge? No problem! Instead of building the basics, we can design classes that meet your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can hold presentations about topics of your interests or topics that I provide, we can discuss current events, hold debates, you can write news-paper article summaries, or we deep dive into advanced grammar. Whatever it is that you enjoy and need: We can do it together. All my classes combine speaking, listening & grammar exercises in interaction with me. Unless you're a very advanced student, we will work with learning materials created by some of the best publishers for language learning in Germany. These materials serve as a red thread for our course that introduces new words, grammar, and exercises in a good pace and interesting manner which keeps you engaged and motivated. Furthermore, I show you German food, music and places. On top of that, I introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level! Another important factor for me is having a personal connection. Unless you prefer to "stick to business", which is fine as well, we typically start our classes by talking about how the weekend or preceding weekdays have been. I don't see my students as a resource to be extracted, but as people for whom I develop a genuine interest. Over the course of time, we both know what is going on in our respective lives and update each other about small or big life events. Having taught many students for multiple years, I can gladly say that I have made real friends thanks to our classes, some of which I even have met in real life. I am extremely confident that you very soon will have the same success that I have had in learning languages! So what are you waiting for? Get in touch now to book an initial meeting in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn about you, your needs and wishes, which will allow us to design the optimal course for you. See you soon! Bis bald! Sebastian

Alexia
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!
