Practical English for Real Life, Work & Exams (A0-C1)

Van 30.46 $ /h

I’m a qualified English teacher with 6 years of experience, Cambridge certifications, and a strong focus on practical, real-world English.

What you get in my classes:
✔️ Structured lessons with a clear goal (every class has a purpose - no chaos)
✔️ Speaking-focused approach (you’ll speak more than I do)
✔️ Grammar explained logically - without overcomplicating things
✔️ Personalised materials based on your level, goals, and learning style
✔️ Honest feedback and real correction (yes, I will correct you - kindly but firmly)

I help students who want to:
- improve spoken fluency and confidence
- prepare for IELTS or Cambridge exams (KET, PET, FCE, CAE)
- use English for work, relocation, interviews, or daily life
- finally understand grammar instead of memorising rules blindly

Levels:
A1 to C1

My teaching style:
Calm, structured, supportive - but demanding.
I won’t pressure you, but I won’t let you stagnate either.

If you’re ready to invest effort and want English that actually works outside the classroom, we’ll get along just fine.

📌 I work best with motivated adult students who are ready to take responsibility for their learning.
📌 I provide clear correction and honest feedback - always supportive, but direct.

Over

Hello everyone! My name is Alex and I am currently living and working in Valencia, Spain. I like travelling - been to more than 20 countries, five of which I have lived in for a long time. Adore animals: I have a cat called Musya and a dog, John. In my spare time I go to the gym and sometimes write music/sing.

I have more than 6 years of teaching experience. In 2021 I received a pedagogical diploma in English teaching. In 2022 I was certified by Cambridge: TKT. In 2024 I attended several courses of British Council - TeachingEnglish. I try to develop and improve my teaching skills non stop. I use the integrated approach in teaching, consider personal characteristics and interests of a student.

I will make up a studying program according to your personal request, and also help with preparation for international exams. Welcome and book a class!

I tailor every session accordingly, specifically for customers who wish to learn French or English very fast for university exams, prepare for DELF exams/TCF or meet a family member, or for young children, even starting from age 2.
I have time available and can adapt to either way of doing sessions. Skype, Teams, zoom, at my place or yours. I am also flexible in regard to your schedules and your specificities and will be happy to make a program made to measure for you :)

I like to use different methods to teach French to students. It can be through songs, drama, role play or videos. I also very often use situations close to the student's experience, such as describing places they have been or talking about what they have experienced. At the same time, I teach the grammar rules to the student. I now live in regions where French has been spoken for over 30 years. Because I have learned French myself (and I am still learning other languages), I can easily put myself in a student's shoes. I can teach in French, Dutch, English, German and Russian.

Hello, my name is Lucie and I would be delighted to help you learn English, either from scratch or to improve your knowledge. I love getting my students to speak since I think practice is the secret to learning a language and improving your knowledge. I always structure my classes around real-life themes (how to introduce yourself, how to make an appointment, how to shop, how to go to the doctor, talk at work, etc). We will see grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation together. If you are intermediate, we will also do courses on texts. We will put both grammar and vocabulary into practice. Please note that all my classes are online (Skype or Google Meet).

Hello there!

Do you need help with IB or IGCSE Economics, English or Politics? Are teachers just not enough? Well then, let me help you!

My name is Lauend, a student pursuing a BSc in Political Science. I am an experienced tutor specializing in IB and IGCSE Economics, English, and Politics, with a strong academic background and a student-centred teaching approach.

Having completed both IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate, I understand these curricula from the inside—not just in terms of content, but in how examiners think, how mark schemes are structured, and where students commonly lose marks. This allows me to teach strategically, with a clear focus on exam performance, conceptual understanding, and long-term academic confidence.

I already have hands-on tutoring experience with students at different ability levels, ranging from those aiming to consolidate core knowledge to high-achievers targeting top grades. Each student receives a curated learning plan, adapted to their strengths, weaknesses, pace, and academic goals. I have taught and supported IGCSE and IB DP students at schools such as the Amsterdam International Community School and the Rotterdam International Secondary School.

Through my holistic, tailor-made tutoring for each student, I can help you not only achieve higher marks in IB and IGCSE, but also (and more importantly) understand and apply these subjects in the real world, a useful skill that will become increasingly valuable throughout life.

Whether you’re aiming to boost your grades, sharpen your essays, or finally feel confident walking into exams, I’m here to help make the process clearer, calmer, and more effective.

I am a Translator-Interpreter and have worked in marketing for an American Petroleum Company for 25 years.
My knowledge of languages was very crucial. After my husband's premature death I did replacements but after a while I started giving private language lessons. I spoke French until I was six.
