English and/ or Spanish for effective communication
Hi there,
My name is Gaizka, Spanish and Basque are my mother tongues. I spent 9 years in the UK and I took my degree - See profile photo - in Edinburgh last summer.
My approach to teaching is pragmatic and sympathetic. I understand your struggle because I lived that struggle for a long time when I moved to the UK in 2009. My main interest is to make you feel confident with what you know and see how much you can stretch that knowledge in real life communication. And then we grow and improve from there.
You learn a language to communicate. You say something and you get a reply. You are understood and you understand. That is the only thing that matters, that you can use what you know and communicate more and better as you learn.
I will adapt my lessons to your need and your preferred lesson/learning style with strong focus on growing your confidence with the language. All can be discussed via Apprentus or on the first day.

About Me
Kaixo !Hey there, My name is Gaizka, I am 37 years old visual artist recently arrived to Rotterdam after a bit of traveling in Europe. I graduated from Edinburgh Napier University last year and I left the UK having lived there since 2009. Because among other things, well, Brexit.
Teaching is a vocation that I was drawn into in my early twenties and over the years I have taught various subjects including Spanish, Basque, Music, Photography or English. T adults and children, to individuals and groups.
I have natural personal qualities that make me very good at listening and communicating. I am patient, supportive and compassionate with my students. I understand your struggle because in the past I spent A LOT of time there. I understand from first hand the process of learning a language. How important is to feel confident and to see that you can make use of your knowledge in real life, since that is what you are learning the language. To use it on your travels, your holidays, with your mates, your partner whatever...
drop me a line and we can maybe arrange a meeting to discuss your needs and how can I help you.
Un saludo.
Gaizka

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).
You can follow my educational page on Instagram (the pink one): an_english_cup_of_tea
For more information please text my on WhatsApp or DM me on Instagram.
I look forward to meeting you!

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.

I have taught many students of all ages, cultures and nationalities and they have all achieved their goals in the shortest possible time.
Oral interaction will be a leading agent in each of the classes. Emphasis will be placed on conversational Spanish. In this way, learning and understanding will be facilitated in a relaxed and comfortable environment and conversation will be practiced in the language of instruction, and pronunciation will be corrected.
I have extensive international experience working in the field of Education teaching at levels from A1 to C2 for children, youth and adults in both English and Spanish.
