CELTA-certified English Tutor: Improve your English communication skills

From 25 £ /h

I am a TEFL and CELTA-certified teacher, and I am happy to work with students of all levels and ages! We can focus on whatever areas of language you want to improve, or I can provide you with a balanced schedule, tailored to you and your needs, with the main goal of communication and building towards fluency.
I am fluent in both English and Russian, so I can help Russian students who are at the elementary level in English, but I still prefer to teach and communicate primarily in English, as this will allow you to immerse yourself in the language and avoid the excessive use of the language you are comfortable with.
Recommended time for ages:
7-12 y.o. - 30 to 45 mins
- (Children with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, etc - 30 mins)
Teens - 45mins
Adults, beginner - 30 to 45 mins.
Adults, intermediate and advanced - 45 mins +

Primary Tutoring - English, Maths, and other subjects

24 £ /h

I have been tutoring children for the past 3 years and have had experiences within different curricula. I offer help with homework, identify areas in need of improvement, and support children in their journeys. My approach is learner- centered and my priority is to get the children involved and interested, and find ways of presenting the topic they find difficult in an interactive way, and link it to their personal experience and interests. (For example, improving reading comprehension using topics and media they enjoy).
Recommended tutoring duration by age (but varies from child to child):
4-6y.o. - 30 mins (don't accept online)
6-7 y.o. - 45 mins
8-11 - 45 mins to max. 60 mins

Children with ADHD, dyslexia and other SEND: 30 mins or 45mins with a 5-10 minute break in between

Actor of formation having lived abroad (London and Toronto), I love English and I would like everyone to know how to speak it! There is indeed a delay in France with respect to English, which is remembered is spoken worldwide and is the first language of communication! And this comes mainly from the lack of confidence in the oral. That is why with you I will work above all on the ease and the confidence but also on the pronunciation and the rhythm.

I have over 4 years of experience in teaching and tutoring English as a second language. I am currently a PhD researcher at King’s College London and run this tutoring business on the side, as I enjoy motivating students to learn new skills and overcome challenges.

I have studied English language and literature for all of my academic life and being multi-lingual (Fluent in Dutch and Sinhala), I understand how difficult it is to learn a language as a complete beginner. I am an empathetic and understanding teacher, but I also know how to push your limits and show you what you are capable of.

I will assign some, flexible homework for out of class, but most of the content will be addressed in the lesson. I am available to teach all levels of English or aid in English literature, but please message me for more information!

No machine can replace the human spark: spirit, compassion, love, and understanding. Youth may have the opportunity to prepare for the language exam in language structures (184 lessons), as well as in reading, listening, writing, and speaking. Adults focus on communication or business, or exams (IELTS, PTE, Cambridge, Oxford, Trinity).

My English classes and Creative Writing classes are suitable for all types of learners including children and adults. My English lessons consist of learning fundamental speaking and writing skills which you could use in everyday life, school, business and the workplace. I also have fun creative writing lessons where I teach my students the different methods and techniques that will help them stand out from other writers which they can use to effectively write their dream fiction and non-fiction stories, poetry and articles. I also teach my students how to eventually publish their finished writing.

My classes are structured in a way that benefits everyone including those with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD and so on. Any special learning requirements you have my lessons will be structured in a way that fully supports you.
