Hi, I'm Mirjana and by profession and by calling as well I'm a teacher of foreign languages and a linguist :)

I've been teaching foreign languages for 10 years now (since I was 18) and I have a significant experience in non-formal education techniques, which is something I incorporate in every single one of my classes.

I have been teaching languages to all ages for the past 30 years. I took early retirement in July 2022 and have since been tutoring privately, with a very high success rate..
I have taught in the same secondary school for the past 21 years and my classes have performed well in French and German at GCSE and A level.
I have also done a lot of teaching English as a foreign language, to guests in our house.

In this course, you will learn a range of linguistic methods and learn the terms used for describing a specific aspect of language or phenomenon (lexis, morphemes, and 'telegraphic stage' to give a few examples). The course requires you to explore your own data using quantitative and qualitative analysis (eg: how frequently are slang phrases used? Are there new auxiliaries being created?). No historical linguistics or literature is involved, but language change or specific traits will be sampled via your own data collection (if this is what is demanded in your course).

As many students need to present a "year abroad" dissertation at University level (3rd year in the UK of a Modern Languages or Linguistics Undergraduate course) I can help you to research and structure your year abroad work, both in English (Linguistics) and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish). The topics that have arisen from recent discussions with students relate to French Caribbean writing, Italian resistance and reprisals in Rome (Fosse Ardiatine), and Spanish Etica franquista in films (among others).

Hello,

I am a first year student at University College London (UCL) in Crime and Security Science. I speak fluently French Italian and English.
I graduated from the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle in London. I majored in Geopolitics in which I got a 15 and in English Language and Literature where I got a 19. I offer online courses. I have been giving private lessons in French, methodology and homework help for 2 years now! I am very organized which is an asset for UCAS applications and personal statement. I am available at specific times of the week and most of the time on weekends.

Do not hesitate to contact me !

I am fluent in French Spanish and English having done all 3 at a high university standard I am confident in my ability to prepare students for a GCSE or A-level. No matter the students level I’m a hard-working and commuted tutor and guarantee bumping up a student’s grade to a desired level.

I am a highly passionate and committed history student at UCL fuelled with a desire to share my educational expertise with GCSE and A-Level History and/or French students. As a previous high-achieving and enthusiastic GCSE and A-Level student that achieved nine 9’s at GCSE and two A* and one A at A-Level, I believe that the knowledge and advice I have acquired would be extremely beneficial and I am thus eager to support students in fulfilling their academic aspirations.

My tutoring sessions will be highly flexible in terms of hours and location, and specifically tailored to suit the needs of the individual student. Whether this may be covering specific content that the student may feel less confident with, or regular exam practice through attempting exam-style questions and past papers both individually and collaboratively. My sessions will foster a relaxed learning atmosphere, ultimately allowing the student to thrive and expand their academic horizon.

In terms of my personal characteristics, I am extremely attentive and compassionate, and I possess strong interpersonal skills, a factor which is further facilitated by my bilingual capabilities (French & English). I believe that these qualities allow for me to be an open minded individual, an invaluable asset for a tutor.

I’m passionate about teaching Arabic to young learners! I aim to create a fun and interactive environment where kids can learn Arabic with confidence and excitement. I’m studying for my MBA, which enhances my ability to organize lessons and focus on student needs.

My Approach
Before starting lessons, I conduct an initial assessment to gauge each student’s current Arabic level. This helps me customize the lessons to match their abilities, ensuring we focus on areas where they can improve the most. Whether your child is just beginning or has some experience, I’ll tailor the lessons to their learning style and pace.

What You Can Expect

A personalized learning plan based on a thorough level assessment
Support for school assignments or specific language goals
Progress tracking to ensure continuous improvement
Engaging and dynamic lessons for both kids and adults
Focus on developing conversational skills, reading, and writing
Support for school assignments, personal goals, or professional needs

My name is Younes and I am a qualified English teacher and a French instructor who lives in the UK.
I love working with adults and children of all ages, which allows me to help them reach their full potential.
I am currently teaching in London at my own college. I have been teaching and preparing students for the last 12 years. I taught many French and English classes such as ESOL, ESL, or Functional Skills. Most of these exams are based in England however I have also thought TOEIC to prepare French students for all of these exams.
I use different software to teach such as Zoom or Skype.
I use different resources (such as PDF and Word documents) for my classes. I also have a virtual whiteboard available.
A typical session with me takes between 1h30 minutes to 2 hours.
I like helping students that are between A1 to B2 levels however my main goal is to help students to become advanced or fluent.
I would be happy to adapt to any student based on your objective, of course.
One of my main goals is to support your vocabulary and grammar.
What really made me unique is that I was in the same position as you and today I have become fluent.
If you have any questions, you could contact me and I would be glad to have a conversation with you.
See you soon.

I will also help you master French grammar and teach you vocabulary to elevate your written work, using games and quizzes.
I tailor my classes to the needs of my students, so get in touch and let's get you started!

I’m a French student. I live in London for 5 months.
I was a trainer so, I have an experience of learning sessions.
I want to teach french to English people in the most playful way as possible.

With me you can learn basics of French and I adapt to your level.

Dedicated and compassionate English teacher with a strong background in teaching all French-speaking
(refugees and asylum seekers) online, via Zoom application in the UK.

I have experience in delivering tailored English language courses to help learners develop essential communication skills for daily life, employment, and social integration in the UK. Skilled in creating inclusive, engaging, and culturally sensitive lessons that address the unique challenges faced by refugees.

I am Passionate about empowering students through education, fostering a supportive learning environment, and equipping them with the tools to build a confident and independent future.

Hi!
I offer private French lessons with a fun and engaging approach, tailored to your interests and learning style. Instead of rigid classroom structures, I focus on “edutainment” – learning while having fun!

Since you already have some basics, we can explore various immersive methods:
• Cooking a classic French dish while learning vocabulary
• Discussing topics that interest you
• Analyzing French songs, movies, or books (I often recommend Le Petit Prince – simple yet meaningful)
• Practicing real-life conversations, including romantic phrases or modern slang (“largo”)
• Learning typical French expressions and their English equivalents
• Using creative tools like post-it notes, interactive exercises, and everyday scenarios

Each lesson is designed to help you absorb grammar and conjugation naturally, making learning intuitive and enjoyable. My goal is to ensure you gain confidence in speaking and understanding French through practical, real-world usage. There are so many ways to learn—if you have specific preferences, we can explore them too!

🧒 I also offer French classes for children and toddlers, using playful and hands-on methods inspired by the Montessori approach. Through games, songs, sensory activities, and storytelling, little ones can discover the French language in a warm, nurturing environment that respects their rhythm and curiosity.

📍 Recommended frequency: At least 2 hours per week for steady progress – but this is flexible depending on your needs.
📍 Flexible scheduling: Available during the day or in the evening, as I’m a freelance journalist.

I offer individual lessons, but we can also have group lessons.

If you’d like to start, we can arrange a first session to assess your level and set up a learning plan that fits your goals. Let me know what works for you!

Looking forward to helping you on your French journey! ☺️

Bespoke French lessons from children (from 10 years old) and adults.

I prepare children for GCSE and A level exams. Vocabulary practice and grammar tuition to excel in the reading and writing exam section especially.

Listening and speaking practice. Repetition to ensure vocab, grammar and verbs are known.

Conversation practice for adults as well as tuition tailored to the need of my client. Vocabulary and grammar tuition inspired by the conversations we are having.

Learning French is far more than acquiring a new language – it’s gaining a key to the wider world. With over 300 million speakers across 29 countries, French offers access to a rich and unique cultural, literary, and human heritage.
It also sharpens your English: over a third of English vocabulary comes from French. This shared history allows you to understand the etymology, structure, and subtle nuances of your own language more deeply.
I place great importance on teaching French in a way that is both engaging and well-structured. My lessons combine a literary approach: authentic texts, stories, cultural references; with practical skills for confident everyday communication. Whether your goal is to improve your speaking, broaden your horizons, or simply enjoy the beauty of the language, I’ll guide you with clarity, enthusiasm, and a supportive approach.

My lessons are tailored to your level, goals and learning style. Whether you want to improve your confidence speaking, strengthen your grammar, or simply enjoy using French in real-life situations, I will guide you step by step.

In my lessons, you can expect:
- clear explanations (no unnecessary jargon)
- a balance of speaking, listening, reading, and grammar
- practical French you can actually use
- a calm, encouraging learning environment

I have experience teaching French in the UK education system. For adult learners, I focus on confidence, fluency and making the language feel accessible and enjoyable.

Lessons can be adapted for complete beginners, returning learners, or students working towards specific goals.
