About Me

Hi, I teach English, French and Yoga. Before moving to Canada, I lived in France for two years and before that in India.

In 2019-2020, I taught Business English to over 200 students of Master’s 1st and 2nd year for a total of over 400 hours in-classroom. I also conducted over 45 conversation sessions in smaller groups.

In 2018-19, I worked as an English language assistant at a middle school and a high school in France where I worked with students between the ages of 14 and 20 and we focused on English conversations, and we also studied specific topics in more detail.

I encourage students to participate and get the most out of our time together.

I am a professionally qualified chartered accountant from India with over 11 years of experience in the finance and accounting domain in Mumbai, but I wanted to explore careers and do something more people centric. I like having a positive impact on someone’s life and sharing my passion for languages. I started teaching English in 2018 and I really enjoy it.

Fawzi
French teacher - Passing the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Private preparation sessions | [IN LINE]
I am Fawzi, a French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2012. I offer specific sessions to meet your needs and objectives to pass your DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I accompany many interested parties of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2012; for me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a key objective in the life of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. I explain my lessons in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your shortcomings and monitor your progress. -------------------------------------- Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. -------------------------------------- Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level? Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation. I am available !

Alexia
English Private Lessons Online or Face to Face ESL
Hello! My name is Alexia, I am 26 years old and I had graduated the Faculty of Foreign Languages, English and Russian. I am Romanian and currently I live in Cyprus. Few words about me: - I had graduated the Faculty of Foreign Languages, English and Russian (bachelor and master's); - I own a certificate that offers me the possibility to teach in Romanian schools; - I tutored since my first year in university; - I studied with Erasmus Scholarship in Russia, I was volunteer in Turkey where I teached high schoolers English, I had a Work and Travel experience in the USA; - I worked in a youth organization with and for foreign young volunteers; - I worked in Ireland where I spoke only English. At present, my "full time" job is tutoring (soon I will have an English speaking club). I offer private lessons to children, young people, and ladies who can understand very basic English, or who are Romanians. I also can teach Russians, as long as there is a very basic level of English. *by knowledge of very basic English I mean the person to be able to read and knows some words. The lessons will be in English, and the native language will not be used much. My approach is to teach English in English, which is one of my favourite ways to learn a new language (personal experience). What I offer? Private lessons that focus on the person's needs (grammar, vocabulary, speaking, help for school lessons). The materials offered are digital and printed *if the lesson is face to face. The information is taken from English handbooks and they are adapted to each lesson. !! The first lesson is FREE. !! I offer parents feedback after each session, and also a monthly one that shows the progress of the student. I offer lessons online or at my home (Limassol, near Dasoudi).

Margie
English for Professionals and Students: Friendly, Internationally Experienced Teacher From the USA.
Since 2018 I've been teaching and tutoring English to students across the world. I've taught in the private sector, in schools, and now privately online. Many of my students work for international companies or have relocated (or plan to relocate) for work or study and have an immediate need to improve their English. Their goals often include things like better communication for business, making social connections, or simply making day-to-day life in a new country easier. If this describes you, I can help! I've lived internationally for much of my adult life, and I completely understand all of the wonderful experiences, as well as the challenges, that come with communicating in an international setting. In my lessons, I help clients to learn, retain, and USE new information. When we practice grammar structures, we do it in contexts that are meaningful and useful. When we learn new vocabulary, we practice by talking about interesting and memorable topics. Overall, my lessons are low-stress and conversational yet always focused on results. If your first language isn't English, it can be difficult to express your "true self" in the language, but it gets much easier with practice and persistence! If you are an advanced level student, we'll also work on idiomatic language and cultural references. This helps boost your conversational skills and makes understanding English speakers in general a whole lot easier. Whatever your English language goals are, send me a message, and I'll be happy to assist. We'll have a friendly chat about how I can best help you, and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
