About Me

I ‘m an adult educator with a Bachelor of Education Degree (Adult Education) from the National University of Lesotho. I completed my TEFL Certificate and I feel confident to teach English communicative skills to both young learners and adults.
Learning changes life and my BEd (Adult Education) has empowered me to apply experiential teaching methods to meet the learners’ needs. My course included the following:
• Adult Literacy Teaching Method
• English Language Practice
• Adult Education and Development
• Mass Communication in Adult Education
• Curriculum Design & Development in Adult Education
• Psychology of Adult Learning
• Sociology of Adult Education
• Practicum in Adult Education Seminars and Conferences.

I have a neutral British accent and my voice is easy to understand. You can listen to my Podcasts for a sample.
My extensive experience in facilitation of workshops on behavioural change communication strategy against HIV and AIDS enabled me to design goals focused lessons. The philosophy of adult education teaching approaches emphasise experiential learning because only when a person relates new information to life experience would learning make a positive impact.

My tutoring offer includes conversational classes; grammar, vocabulary, and all four English skills which enables a learner to be confident in both spoken social and work communication.

My hobbies are reading about holistic self empowerment, healthy diet, strategic planning and project management.

Please mention your goal when you call me so that I can prepare a suitable lesson that meet your learning needs.

My name is Theresa, I was born in Lesotho. Lesotho is located within the Republic of South Africa. I ‘m an adult educator with a Bachelor of Education Degree (Adult Education) from the National University of Lesotho. I also am a holder of 120 Hour TEFL Certificate. I have a Diploma in Business Studies and the Certificate in Personnel Management. The philosophy of learning is that education changes life. My Bachelor of Education Degree program has empowered me to apply experiential teaching methods because learning has a positive impact only if it is relevant to the learner’s needs. My degree in Bachelor of Education (Adult Education) includes the following: • Adult Literacy Teaching Methods • English Language Practice • Adult Education and Development • Mass Communication in Adult Education • Curriculum Design & Development in Adult Education • Psychology of Adult Learning • Sociology of Adult Education • Practicum in Adult Education Seminars and Conferences. I have a neutral British accent (Lesotho was a British Colony) and my voice is easy to understand. The 120 Hour TEFL course emphasized the need to note and be sensitive to different cultures and their native languages challenges with regard to learning English language vocabulary and pronunciation. This course has therefore empowered me to readily tutor international students of all ages. My experience in facilitation of workshops on behavioral change communication strategy against HIV and AIDS enabled me to design goals-focused lessons. I can provide conversational lessons which includes tutoring grammar, vocabulary, and all four English language skills. My learner-centered teaching approach enables learners to be confident in formal and informal English language proficiency. My hobbies are reading and listening to personal empowerment books and video. Over the years I upgraded my counseling skill on psychology subject, strategic management and project management. I am also learning lyrics poems writing.
Learners are classified in various levels; the starting level being beginners. The first class is meant to assess each student and assist to establish or confirm the expressed English language lessons goal. This session will enable me to know the learner's environment with regard to possible practice of English language at home. It is a basis on which I could design suitable lessons to be communicated as course outline to provide a clear learning map towards the learner's goal. Lesson 1 will confirm the level at which the learner has been placed. This means there will be upgrading of the learning material and confirmation of necessary teaching or tutoring techniques and strategies. The use of existential teaching approach emphases eliciting all English learning skills as critical to motivate learners to fully participation and stay engaged throughout the lesson. It is very important to create conducive learning environment and build teacher-learner trust. As an adult educator, I regard this principle as a foundation for continued learning at all levels.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Ukrainian as foreign language. "Unlock the World: Elevate Your Life with Ukrainian Language Lessons!"
As a Ukrainian teacher for foreigners with varying language proficiency levels, I hold a unique and pivotal role in the realm of education. I am in touch with my students almost all the time. We are not only practicing grammar and vocabulary, but we are also experiencing a love of Ukrainian culture together. There is no place for constant boring theory and mindless rote memorization. My values are trust, understanding and love. My dedication to imparting the Ukrainian language to a diverse group of learners has shaped an identity, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences, skills, and qualities that make an invaluable asset in the field of education. I love seeing and participating in my students' interest in the Ukrainian language. What warms my heart the most is their curiosity about every detail and exception. Especially when they want to look for new things for themselves and then tell me about what they have found with a twinkle in their eye.

Urdu Conversation - Learn to speak fluent Urdu with a fine accent
I am a native Urdu speaker and love this polite and cultured language. Those students who wish to speak Urdu for the sake of personal enjoyment and fulfillment – or even to converse with their spouses, friends, and family – will learn with me to speak the language with a fine neutral accent. I will provide several real-life scenarios and encourage students to hold hesitation-free conversations with a pleasant accent. At the end of successfully finishing this course, the student will be able to converse in Urdu without hesitation. Urdu is a beautiful language that is spoken by more than 200 million people worldwide in countries like Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates, and other parts of the world. Urdu started developing in North India around Delhi in the 12th century. It was based on the language spoken in the area around Delhi and was heavily influenced by Arabic and Persian as well as Turkish. Urdu originates from Hindi, sometimes referred to as the 'sister' language of Urdu due to its grammatical basis. However, Hindi is written in 'Devanagari', a script similar to Sanskrit, and its vocabulary is influenced more by Sanskrit than by Persian and Arabic.
