Learn English with a native speaker - Cambridge CELTA trained with 6 years' experience

I am a native English speaker and have six years' experience teaching English to adults and children (read my reviews below). I received my Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Adults from International House in 2008. I am offering lessons to adults and children that will improve your grammar, vocabulary and speaking. I provide all the materials for the lesson and tailor the lesson to your needs. I can do lessons via webcam and can email you materials for the lesson. (webcam lessons price negotiable)
In Paris I taught one to one Business English classes with 'Linguarama' and in Morocco I taught English at two universities and to children, teenagers and adults at a language school. In Dublin I taught with the globally recognised school, Education First (EF) and in Belgium and Greece I gave one to one classes.

Extra information

I speak French but I prefer to keep to English as much as possible during the lesson.

About Me

- I am originally from Dublin and I have lived in London, Paris and Brussels.
- I have experience in teaching learners of all ages but the bulk of my experience is with young adults and adults.
- I emphasise a communicative approach, with a minimum of 'teacher talk time'. I use speaking activities to encourage students to actively practice the grammar and vocabulary that we cover which results in the student being able to expand their conversation abilities.
- I have consistently scored extremely high student evaluations in every school I have taught in.
- References and a copy of my Certificate to teach are available on request.

Education

- BA Sociology and Anthropology, Maynooth University, Ireland. (2006)
- CELTA Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults, International House, Dublin, Ireland. (2008)
- MA, SOAS University of London, UK. (2013)

Experience / Qualifications

I began my teaching career in Paris working for 'Wall Street English'. I then worked for 'Linguarama' for the rest of my time in Paris where I taught one to one Business English lessons. The next two years of my teaching career were spent in Rabat, where I taught with 'Amideast'. There I taught all levels of General English. Each Summer I returned to Dublin where I taught General English to young adults. I spent over a year working for the Dublin branch of the international school EF, where I taught General English, grammar workshops, and conversation classes to adults.

Reviews (7)

I had several hours of conversation with Aideen, in order to improve my English, especially in speaking. The conversation was fluid, it's easy to talk with Aideen and she corrected me at the end of the lesson with lots of remarks and explanations that she had noted during our exchanges. A perfect experience to improve my fluency in English. Thanks again to her and I highly recommend Aideen as a teacher.
A nice teacher.
Aideen is one of the best teachers I've ever met, I immediately felt comfortable with her. She is really able to tailor the lessons to your needs. ;)
I was total in trust after my first class with Aideen. I'm delighted. The class completely meets my expectations (firstly conversation & then grammar). I'm looking forward to the next class!
She is an excellent teacher!

Private lessons in English and Spanish for all levels.
You will learn Spanish and / or English in a dynamic way with exercises that promote the learning of the language to use it in everyday life as well as in a more formal or even specific setting. My goal is that you can use the language to communicate fluently and enjoy it. To do this, I use non-formal education methods, these are activities that make it possible to implement the knowledge already acquired of the language and to improve and deepen its level, but also to formal education by explaining grammar or dispelling doubts in order to teach them to express themselves well in writing and orally in formal or informal situations. In summary, the student will learn grammar and pronunciation through conversations and games. In addition, the courses will be adapted to the needs and requirements of the student. I offer online courses with multiple digital tools or face-to-face at the student's home if possible. Do not hesitate to contact me, I would be happy to answer you. Maria

 The courses I offer include General English, Business English and Exam English (TOEFL/IELTS). My lessons are based on certified ESL textbooks, but I adapt them to focus on what you want to learn.

In fact, you decide the program! About me: I am a 32 year old English speaker from the UK with over eight years of teaching experience. Since obtaining my Cambridge Certified Teaching Certificate in 2011, I have taught a wide range of ages, levels and class sizes in the Netherlands, Indonesia, Turkey, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Tutoring, private lessons in English from primary to high school
I base myself on the lessons of the students to see precisely what is expected of them, then I make applications with my student to raise the misunderstood notions, and thus be able to explain them and focus on these difficulties. My tutoring courses are aimed at students up to high school level. I offer help in scientific subjects, as well as in English. I can still help the students to recite their lessons, whatever the subject, and give them learning advice (sheets, revision schedule ...).

Kate
English Lessons with an Australian, Native English
Hello! My name is Kate and I am an Australian who is has been living in France since 2019. I am fluent in French and English is obviously my native language. My educational background: I hold a Masters of Art Therapy from The University of Paris with a major in music therapy, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with majors in Music and Psychology, and a Diploma of Languages with a major in French from The University of Queensland, Australia. As a native English speaker my goal is to instill confidence in my students (of all ages) of their ability to speak, use, and understand English. I use a variety of interactive methods including songs, actions, rhymes, books, and music. I am firm believer in 'trying' and as such I will encourage my students to use their English, regardless of how many faults they may make. It is only from making errors, that we can improve! Additionally, I am happy to work on assignments, test preparation, or any other English homework which may need completing. I can provide homework, or extension tasks as required. My lessons are largely immersion based, and as such I will avoid the use of French, unless an explanation is needed for clarity. I am happy to adapt to the needs of my students. I have been teaching English in France since 2019. Prior to arriving in France, I tutored for over two years in Australia, aiding students from ages 8 to 17 with a variety of subjects including English, maths, science, music, and french. I have extensive experience with children: I have been a scout leader since 2020 in Marseille, and have been involved with Girl Guides Australia since I was 7 years old, eventually leading a group of 10-17 year olds for over 4 years before arriving to France. I am located near Metro Prado, but can travel throughout Marseille. Depending on distance, travel costs may be in addition to class fees. I have a valid working with children background check in Australia, and hold first aid qualifications in France (PSC1).

Ibrahim
Learn the English language, its rules and its subtleties.
The course usually begins with a brief introduction and a recap of the topics covered in the previous session. Then, new concepts are presented, such as grammar, vocabulary or idiomatic expressions. These concepts are clearly explained and illustrated with examples. Classes may also include reading and writing activities, where students work on authentic texts such as newspaper articles, short films, or excerpts from books. This allows students to develop their reading and writing skills, as well as their understanding of the structure and style of the English language.

Tarek
Language courses (German & English) or training in Political Science/IR with Master's graduate of Sciences Po Paris
A Marseille-based graduate of International Security from Sciences Po Paris (2022) with living experience across Europe (Germany, France, Spain), the Middle East (Egypt, Lebanon), and the United States, I offer private tutoring in German and English or training in Political Science/International Relations. From beginners (A1) to advanced users (C2), I boast experience in working with all age groups from primary school students to adults aiming to take the next step in their language proficiency. My teaching methods are exclusively contingent on the student's needs/requirements, accounting for previous knowledge, the student's preferences, and feasibility of the project. As such, the first lesson seeks to provide me with an idea of the student's level while also ensuring that the synergy between teacher and pupil makes for a fruitful partnership. With regards to training in Political Science/International Relations, I intend to draw on the knowledge and insights that I was able to acquire over 5 years of study in the respective fields at prestigious universities (Leiden University, Sciences Po Paris). Here, I am also able to tailor classes to the student's expectations.

Mateus
Guitar classes: Rock, Pop, Folk, Blues, Jazz , Bossa Nova with singing and music theory for all ages.
I’ve always loved music, it is one of my lifetime passions, since I was a kid. So, singing and playing nylon strings guitar or steel strings guitar is essential for me, for my well-being and mindfulness. The classes are for anyone who would like to play music, from beginners to aspiring professional guitar players and singers with some experience. The focus is to learn how to develop the techniques required to play the songs that you love. I can adapt according to the musical style of the student. As for the plan, we can figure it out together. I like to communicate effectively with the students to understand what they want to learn specifically. I prefer to use the materials and methods that will fit the needs of my students, according to their musical taste and goals. Be sure, you'll learn a variety of techniques in a relaxed and funny way. I will be happy to help and see my students achieve their goals! I am very eclectic. I’ve always loved to learn and play different styles of music, such as: Rock and rolll, Pop Rock, Metal, Folk, Blues, Jazz, Bossa Nova, Samba, Latin American Guitar and Others. I sang in a choir for 6 years in my hometown university, in Brazil and I’ve played for many bands and musical groups since then.
