Fluent & Confident: Personalized English Tutoring for Learners of All Levels

I specialise in teaching ESL (English as a Second Language), EAL (English as an Additional Language), and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) to learners of all backgrounds. With extensive experience in the UK education system, including working with diverse international learners, I provide structured, engaging, and personalised lessons that help students improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. My approach focuses on real-life communication, cultural understanding, and practical language use, ensuring learners gain the confidence to succeed in everyday life, work, and academic settings.

The first session is designed as an interactive introduction, assessing the learner’s level and goal. We will focus on basic conversation skills, common phrases, and pronunciation to build confidence in speaking. I will introduce essential vocabulary and key expressions tailored to the student's needs, whether for daily communication, work, or study. The session also includes fun listening and speaking exercises, ensuring a comfortable and engaging start to the learning journey.

Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children. We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture.

Jade
English Lessons for all ages and levels using google meet
I am currently a university student in the Netherlands and am keen to offer English tutoring for all ages and proficiency levels online! I would love to help beginners achieve their English goals and assist advanced speakers in perfecting their academic writing skills. A little bit about my background: I took the English Language and Literature course as part of the International Baccalaureate (IB), through which I developed strong skills in analyzing both visual and literary works. Additionally, I gained solid academic writing skills not only during the IB but also at university. I also have experience tutoring in the past, specifically helping students improve their speaking and comprehension abilities, which I hope to continue to do!
