English for High School; Tutoring exams' preparation

It is rather difficult to urge 14-16 y. o. children to be interested in studying a foreign language, moreover at school. It seems too dull. However, each good teacher has his/hers own secrets how to turn learning, say, grammar into fun.
I specialise in tutoring English for High School. So, we also have to be a bit serious. We can prepare for the exam by reading interesting stories, watching anime films and talking on everyday themes and topics. I assign homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports. Step by step English becomes a part of your life and you realise that in contemporary world you can't survive without the knowledge of English.

About Me

Looking at my age one may think that I am old. Do not look at the face -- look into the soul. I am a university lecturer and among various serious subjects (Like Academic Writing and Japanese History) I teach on Japanese manga and anime. Most of all I like philosophical films by Miyazaki Hayao, for example, Castle in the Sky (天鼓の城ラピュタ). Also I like movies about school life such as The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (時をかける少女) or Whisper of the Heart (耳をすませば). All anime we can watch in English and in this way you will grasp English communication.

Education

English Language Secondary School graduated with distinction; 英語の高等学校を栄誉で卒業した. University degree in Japanese and World History
大学でまず日本史 (Bachelor with Honours)を得て、
次にPhD (博士号)を習得しました。

Experience / Qualifications

Thirty years of teaching English as a Foreign Language; I taught English in Australia, England, Germany and now in Japan.
I am not a professional English teacher. However, I can teach you how to speak, read and communicate in English without mistakes and feel yourself COMFORTABLE in an English speaking world. Why do I know all these things? Because I myself covered the way from a girl brought up in a closed country called Russia, the country which reputation is not very good now. I graduated from an English language secondary school which was created with the purpose "to know the language of your enemy" and, of course, for official Russia that meant the US and England. So, teaching and learning English were taken very seriously there. I also studied English and Japanese at the university and obtained various academic degrees. I was often invited as an interpreter when delegations and single scholars visited the institute where I worked. In this way I became familiar with people around the world. When Russia became an open country, I applied for a job to teach Japanese History in Australia and was simultaniously offered a professor's position in Japan. Now I have been teaching at Japanese universities in English various subjects. I will be happy to share my experience with you.
Nowadays, everyone should know how to manage business and everyone needs to know English for this purpose. Do you know how to write business letters, to prepare for the interview or participate in negotiations? I can teach all these things and many other to you. I have TEFEL/TESOl Certificate, which
Nowadays many people want to do business by themselves. For this purpose the knowledge of English is a must. Do you know how to write an application letter, how to prepare for an interview and to paticipate in negotiations? To be successful it is not enough to know English, but you must know Business English which is something completely different. Just call me or write to me and I will teach you everything.

Sebastian
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

Experienced Chinese and English teacher, approved by the prefect of the Île-de-France region and SAP (50% tax credit)

Marga
Initiation and Improvement of FRENCH and SPANISH (Individuals, Groups and Companies)
Do you like languages? Do you want to start learning FRENCH or SPANISH? Do you need it for work? I was born in Switzerland, where I used to spend all my vacations, so French has always been a part of my life, where I learned it. I have always taught in my environment, and five years ago I decided to turn a hobby that I am passionate about into a really motivating job. METHODOLOGY: The classes are ONLINE (Skype, Zoom, Meet, I adapt to your preference): I firmly believe that they should be dynamic and flexible, adapted to each particular student, and always in constant communication with him/her, since not all of us learn with the same easily or at the same pace, or with the same guidelines. For this reason, the support of COMPLEMENTARY EXERCISES is very important to reinforce the most difficult sections to internalize, as well as READING adapted to the learning achieved, and PRONUNCIATION; Three essentials, in my opinion. I share a link to Drive, where I have all the material so that the student can access it at all times. Do not hesitate to contact me, without obligation, if you need to know anything else! Thank you!! * OFFICIAL FRENCH EXAMS ARE PREPARED, AND FRENCH FOR OPPOSITIONS. SPANISH LANGUAGE REINFORCEMENT is also offered in written expression and writing of all kinds of texts.

Learning Swahili - Salutation example Hujambo -( Hello) Sijambo (Hello) - Beginner -intermediate - Advanced
Swahili is an essential language when working and visit African especially when working or doing studies. It offer access to the Swahili culture and other East Africa Culture. Is there any point to learn Swahili as a language? Yes! it is very important as far as African is concerned since it is the favorite suggested and endorsed by African Leaders to be the official language uniting African people and culture soon. Swahili is a total language (its name is literally from the word for "coastal" in Arabic), and so it's best spoken in the coastal regions of both Kenya and Tanzania, where it's not only the lingua franca, but the mother tongue of the Swahili people themselves. Swahili commonly known as "Kiswahili " has the potential to forge strong trading ties between the people of eastern, central and Southern Africa and to promote cultural cohesion. If widely promoted in these regions, the language can single-handedly remove the artificial barriers and boundaries imposed by imperial powers.
