About Me

I was born in Budapest, Hungary and I spent most of my childhood years there, with some time also spent in the USA where part of my family lives.

At the age of 19, I moved to the UK to pursue my higher education. At age 26, I decided to leave London and move to Southeast Asia to work there as an English teacher. I spent the following 7 years mostly in Thailand - with a half-a-year detour in Nepal - teaching English at various schools and organisations.

In 2019, I decided to move back to Europe, and since then, I have started focusing more on teaching adults and delving deeper into the world of online teaching.

Besides education and English teaching, I occasionally also work as a translator, mostly in subtitle translation.

I find linguistics and language acquisition truly fascinating, and I am incredibly grateful for having had the opportunity not only to teach people from various linguistic backgrounds but also to experience it first-hand as a language learner.

Teaching is not only my profession but also my passion. I find something deeply rewarding in the process of helping people learn and via the learning process bloom and gain confidence.

I decided to become an English language teacher as a direct consequence of my experiences in my personal education and life. I understand the challenges and negative effects certain teaching methods and learning environments can have on learners, as well as the difficulties of moving to a new country and culture where one doesn't understand the language. I've personally prepared for and successfully passed the Cambridge English, IELTS and TOIEC tests, university entrance exams and countless job interviews in different countries. Throughout these experiences, I have learnt the importance of understanding one's own learning style and preferred learning methods and the value of having a good teacher to mentor and support us through our learning journey.

Irida
Modern Greek lessons with the most efficient and easy way. ONLINE CLASSES AVAILABLE !
This class is for foreigners living in Athens, Greece, that want to learn the basics (and more) of the Greek language for various reasons like business, curiosity to explore the greek language, communicating better with loved ones etc.. You will learn how to understand, listen, read and speak this complicated yet interesting and historic language. I focus a lot on the greek pronunciation and grammar, since those are the sections most foreigners struggle with. Along with the language, you will also learn many ancient greek words, because the modern greek language derives from the ancient greek and the grammar is closely related to it. Last but not least, you will be teached some things about the greek culture and history and if asked, you could learn about greek urban dictionary. I started gaining experience by volunteeringly teaching it to my foreign friends and to refugees since I was 16 years old. Moreover, the fact that I took many language classes growing up ( french, japanese, spanish, english), and still do, helped me learn new patterns from my teachers and apply them in my classes. BA in Political Science and History (Panteion University of Athens) I provide notes to my students. Communicate with me on Apprentus.

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

Being aware of emotions allows better management of behavior in human relationships, both in the professional, private, entrepreneurial framework (...).

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.
