From 28.7 $ /h

Hi! I’m Maria (Sam)—a passionate and experienced polyglot and language tutor from the Philippines. I’ve been teaching online since 2015 and have conducted over 11,000 lessons with students from all over the world.

As a native speaker of :
📍Tagalog,
📍Bisaya (Cebuano),
📍Ilonggo (Hiligaynon),
📍Karay-a
📍and a fluent English speaker with a C1 level and a 100% American accent, I know what it takes to learn and master multiple languages. I bring that same understanding and empathy into every lesson I teach.

I tailor each class to your goals—whether you’re learning for love, travel, work, or personal growth. You can choose between structured lessons or relaxed conversation practice (open cam or audio-only—whatever you're comfortable with). We can talk about your interests, career, or even do reading practice to sharpen your accent and fluency.

As a fellow language learner, I understand the excitement and struggles of the journey. That’s why I’m here to guide, support, and help you speak with confidence—at your own pace, in your own style.

Let’s enjoy learning together. I can’t wait to meet you!

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.

To encourage and stimulate learning in the subjects taught, as well as their desire to learn more through various tools or techniques that facilitate their understanding.
Encouraging at all times the motivation and desire to continue learning.

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!
