Reviews (6)

I am very happy with Mr. Shyam as a German teacher for my son, who is still in primary school. After just a few lessons, we noticed that he is very patient and sensitive to my son's needs. I particularly appreciate his ability to structure the lessons in such a way that they are both interesting and educational. Mr. Shyam explains grammar and other complex topics in a clear and understandable way, which helps my son build confidence in the language. His materials are well structured and adapted to my son's level, which makes the learning process very efficient. He is also extremely punctual and reliable, which helps us a lot to fit the lessons into our busy schedule. What I also like is that Mr. Shyam always corrects mistakes in a friendly and encouraging manner, so that my son stays motivated and is not afraid to make mistakes. I can therefore highly recommend Mr. Shyam, both for beginners and for students who want to specifically improve their German skills, be it for school or for exams such as the Goethe Certificate.

My German Shyam tutor is highly punctual and reliable, always ensuring our lessons start on time. His attention to detail is exceptional, as he consistently correct my mistakes in a constructive and encouraging manner. The teaching materials he provide are well-structured, engaging, and tailored to my needs, making each lesson both enjoyable and effective. I recommend Shyam as a great German teacher anyday.
Shyam is very sincere, interactive, punctual and he planned the sessions very well. My son is 10 year old learning German very well and he is always engaged in the full sessions. One thing I want to highlight is Shyam always give some homeworks and he does the recap with student very well. I recommend Shyam as a genuine German teacher.
My daughter whose mother tongue is not Tamil is taking Tamil lessons with Shyam. Shyam is a very good teacher and uses very good teaching materials to teach her. She very much enjoys the lessons and we find that she is quickly picking up the language and we look forward to further lessons with Shyam. We are very happy to have him as her Tamil teacher.
Very friendly and committed

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

Anaïs Ould
English learning or improvement courses
English, beyond being the international language of business, is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is a language that brings together diverse people, from different backgrounds, cultures, and languages, enabling communication between these different parties—a crucial element in various contexts, whether traveling or at work. Moreover, today, for many recruiters, speaking English is not a bonus but almost a necessity. During the classes I give, I will not only focus on grammatical mastery of the language, but we will also work on the pronunciation and phonetics of this language. I will also suggest that we read aloud together different texts from different sources (novels, newspaper articles, etc.) allowing us to add a cultural and intellectual aspect to our language learning.
