    American Literature, American History, Composition, Screenwriting, Guitar

    I am interested in providing English lessons to students of all ages.

    I can adapt my lessons to accommodate your interests and goals. For instance, if your goal is to be able to read the Wall Street Journal and to discuss it comfortably (in English) with colleagues, we can develop a course to help you reach that goal.

    If your interest is in American History or Literature (or something more specific: like the "History of Black Empowerment Movements in 20th century America" (the topic of my junior thesis); or "Understanding Faulkner's America"; or "The Berkeley Free Speech Movement", etc...), we can cultivate a course to help you discuss your topic of interest with advanced proficiency in English.

    I have a BA in History from Middlebury College and a Masters in History Education from NYU Steinhardt. I write songs and scripts and have a beginner's proficiency in French.

    This class is for everyone.

    Thomas
    French Language For Foreigners (Level : From Beginner to Expert)
    Hi everyone! I am Thomas, I live in Paris and I am a skilled trainer/tutor with several years of experience. I teach French as I love doing it! I teach online French to foreigners from all over the world. Before that, I was a radio show presenter for 1 year; a salesman in a training center for 5 years; then a trainer in oral and written communication in French and English for 3 years. I fluently speak English and a bit of German, Polish and Latvian. I studied at Normandy Business School, have a master's degree in territorial development, and participated in the Erasmus Program in Poland (Krakow) and the UK (Cardiff). My hobbies are: traveling, playing badminton and the guitar, and Paris! I hope you will appreciate my classes and tutelage! According to my entourage and students: I am friendly, serious, attentive, and patient. Before the first class, I will send you a placement test so that I know your current level. I prepare the lessons in advance and I can give you homework if you wish. I teach French from complete beginner to expert level (from A0 to C1). I adapt to all public (from 13 years old) and need French culture, French business, grammar, conjugation, discussions, pronunciation, vocabulary, written and oral comprehension, etc. To sum up: you tell me what you want to do and we do it! :)

Concentrate on certain forms that tell the language of business, the common language, the grammar, the pronunciation, etc. You talk to a French and Dutch child, you can provide help with the translations of the languages needed, while you think it is preferable to develop a language and develop skills that are part of a part of your life level of basis and use of material visually or contextually. ================================================= Learn how to speak, understand, read and write British English with a native British qualified EFL teacher. Lessons tailored to your level and learning style. If necessary, concentrate on certain forms, such as business language, common conversational language, grammar, pronunciation, etc. I also speak French and Dutch, so I can help with translations into these languages where necessary, although I think it is better to teach entirely in the target language and develop skills from a basic level using visual or contextual materials.

    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!

    Kevin
    Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
    I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
