English Language Through Media and Communication Culture - Kauniainen - Private lessons

English Language Through Media and Communication Culture

From 16.96 £ /h

This is a genuine English class on how to read. My only purpose on this platform is to teach those who want to improve their English.

Be prepared to discuss the media and communication, from Renaissance Courts to modern tabloid giants. We will practice reading, writing and debating topics that will help you improve your understanding in English and think creatively with it.

Each lesson aims to introduce a new topic with adjacent grammar points and exercises. I will guide you through new vocabulary and pronunciation. You will have options to choose some of the material and even the structure of your own learning.

*Mind the glitch - this class is taught in English only.

About Me

I create rapport and connect easily with students. I try to motivate through engaging storytelling, prompting questions and debating them. We will work together to achieve your goals through planning and meeting targets in each lesson. A great part of teaching is leading by example, to cultivate confidence in students, who can decide what works best for them.

I'm a CELTA qualified English teacher based in Helsinki. Whether you want to improve your conversational skills, polish your business English, or get help with academic writing we can plan a syllabus to precisely meet your needs. Get in touch!

Hello, my name is Sofia and I'm an engineering student tutoring on the side.

I have worked as a tutor for several years, mostly primary school children, and this experience has enabled me to pursue two passions: teaching and math. I love to share my knowledge with those who want to learn and to come up with creative ways to solve problems successfully. I'm goal-driven and determined in my work, and will celebrate small victories while using mistakes as opportunities to do better. I believe it's important to encourage all students, whether young or old, to treat stumbling blocks as just that rather than as insurmountable obstacles.

In addition to teaching math, I'm also available for English and Italian language lessons. I have experience teaching these to students of all ages and have worked for three years as a TEFL-certified teacher.

Hope to hear from you soon!

The English lessons will be very methodical and systematic in introducing new content. The lesson will also be inspirational and the resources interesting and relevant to the student. The lessons will be affective and you will progress at good speed. There will be emphasis on pronunciation, grammer and conversation.

Hello!! My name is Vanesa. I'm a native spanish speaker and teacher living in Finland. I've also lived in Malta and all these experiences abroad taught me that there are no barriers when it comes to learn, and if you want something go for it! You might have more or less in common to the language you want to learn, but everyone is capable of learning any language, and if you commit to that, you will not only learn a language, you will open yourself to a new culture, a new ways of thinking...a new life experience !

Clases Español:
Hola muy buenas, soy estudiante universitario en España y estoy en Helsinki durante un tiempo. Soy Español y Canadiense por lo que soy nativo en ambos idiomas (español e inglés).

Spanish classes:

Espanjan tunnit:
Olen yliopisto-opiskelija Espanjassa ja olen Helsingissä jonkin aikaa. Olen espanjalainen ja kanadalainen, joten puhun äidinkielenäni molempia kieliä (espanjaa ja englantia). Koko elämäni olen puhunut molempia kieliä ja Espanjassa opetan englantia, joten minulla on kokemusta molemmista kielistä. Osaan sopeutua mihin tahansa tasoon, koska olen ollut siinä asemassa koko elämäni ajan. Olen valmis antamaan tunteja sekä henkilökohtaisesti että verkossa, voin myös antaa yksilö- ja ryhmätunteja.

Kiitos ja toivon, että voimme parantaa espanjan kielen yhdessä.

TL;DR: If you're preparing for the Digital SAT and need guidance, I'm here to help. I scored 1540 (750 in English, 790 in Math) and am currently studying Quantum Technology at Aalto University on a scholarship.

Here's everything you need to know:

About Me
I’m currently a first-year bachelor’s student at the School of Science in Aalto University, where I secured a highly competitive full-tuition scholarship thanks to my SAT score (1540: Math 790, English 750). I’ve been an SAT tutor for over a year now, teaching both group classes and one-on-one sessions. In total, I’ve helped more than 70 students reach their SAT goals. Back in Bangladesh, I worked as an SAT instructor at Mentors' and developed the SAT teaching curriculum at Noetic. With this experience under my belt, I’ve designed a teaching method that’s effective, flexible, and, most importantly, tailored to you.

How My Classes Work
The SAT is all about finding patterns and mastering the "game". My classes are structured to help you do exactly that. In each class, I will teach you some theoretical basics first and then make you go through some actual SAT problems related to those basics. It's not about me showing you how to solve, rather it's about making you capable to think like a 1500+ scorer. In the process, I'll observe your thought process and give feedback on where you are going wrong and what you doing right. Sounds impressive?

Here’s the class breakdown:

Don’t worry; the number of classes is flexible. If you’re already confident in certain topics, we’ll skip them and focus on what needs improvement. This isn’t a cookie-cutter course—it’s all about what works best for you.

Logistics
Duration: Each class is 1.5 hours.
Preferred Schedule: After 6 PM (but we can discuss).
Class Options: Online (Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams) or in-person (either at Aalto University, my place, or yours (applicable for Espoo and Helsinki)).

Why Choose Me?
Sure, there are tons of SAT prep courses out there. But when you hit a wall or feel like your progress has plateaued, that’s where I come in. You'll choose me because —
a) I have a high score, so I know how to crack this.
b) I have taken the SAT on Oct, 2023 and since then taught more than 70 students all over the world. So, I am updated with the curriculum and process.
c) I am already studying in a reputed university with scholarship leveraging my SAT score. So, I can guide through the admission process (be it in Europe or US) as well.
d) I am a no bullshit guy. If you need 2/3 classes only, that's fine. If you need 20 classes, that's also fine. I am here to make money but not to exploit. So, I offer huge flexibility.

I’ll help you:
Identify the SAT’s patterns and tricks.
Focus on your weak areas while leveraging your strengths.
Understand the nuances of scoring 1500+.
Navigate college admissions (both in the U.S. and Europe).

Plus, if you’re up for it, you’ll get free life advice and philosophical discussions along the way. (Yes, seriously.)

What My Students Say
A lot of my students start off feeling stuck and overwhelmed but end up feeling confident and in control. They’ve told me that my approach is not just practical and effective, but surprisingly enjoyable too! The SAT isn’t just a test—it’s a challenge you can conquer with the right mindset and strategies.

Ready to Get Started?
