Becoming Fluent in English (A2 - C2). Flawless, Conversational, and Natural Language

From 22.33 £ /h

I am an accomplished tutor with 12 years experience and a PhD in Linguistics.
Teaching English is undoubtedly my vocation. My vast experience enables me to develop students' confidence, improve their spoken English and prepare them for the Cambridge English exams.
My university majors were English Linguistics, Pedagogy and Psychology of High School.
I am currently pursuing a BA in North American Studies at Free University of Berlin. Studies are extremely interesting and challenging, and I'm pleased to share with students materials from English courses and my knowledge of US history.

During my English classes I focus on intensive language practice and speaking fluency.
Firstly, we will pay attention to grammatical and lexical gaps, learn to analyze speech and use less "simple" words, that is, we will enlarge the vocabulary with proper synonyms (C1-C2 level). Besides, we will gradually introduce idioms into speech and use complex grammatical constructions.

After and during each lesson I write down a lesson protocol in Google Docs, including all the material, texts, and proofreading.
It goes without saying, I guarantee a responsible approach, frequency and intensity of lessons.

I am an Italian master student in general and comparative literature at the Free University of Berlin. I have been living in Berlin for three years and I have a Bachelor degree in Italian and German between the Universities of Florence and Bonn.

My teaching method is based on your needs. It can be in both English and German. Together we will find out which strategy is best for learning Italian, be it with the help of an interactive teaching method (e.g. excerpts from films, poems, newspaper articles and songs) or with traditional help with homework.

Hi All,
thank you for checking out my course.

This class is open to students of all levels. Whether you are only starting to learn the wild-looking letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, or whether you are looking to practise your written and spoken Russian, I would be delighted to accompany you at any stage of your Russian-learning journey. For more advanced students, I would be happy to help you get to know one of the most defining aspects of the Russian language, namely its novels and poetry, which would be a great way to learn about the 'mysterious' Russian soul.

I believe that studying in three different countries have allowed me to try out and assess various approaches to education in general and teaching languages in particular - from the rigourous Russian system based on ensuring that the students will obtain exceptional spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation skills, to the more relaxed yet more critical and analytical Western approach, focused on problem-solving and independent work.

You will get the benefit of a vast bank of techniques, methods and learning materials that I have developed and accumulated over the past year will be used in class to pique and maintain your interest. And since I was once a language student too, I would be able to share my personal tips and tricks with you to help you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself - be it being able to wow your friends and family by reciting a poem in the language of Dostoyevski, or impressing your future collegues with the thorough knowledge of Russian current affairs in their mother tongue!

Welcome.
We teach by using immersion and part-immersion methods playful classes for younger children and fun, part-immersion learning for the older students.
My name is Alexander.
I have been a teacher, counseling teacher, and special needs manager in many English elementary and secondary schools. Excellent teaching and successful learning have always been my goal in private and public life.
As an expert and holder of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in England in the field of education, I have always wanted to offer the highest quality teaching. This highest quality of teaching, the provision of qualified teachers (including myself), is and remains a priority in our school.
As a person who believes in a world without borders and who likes Berlin, I decided two years ago to settle in Berlin. For a year I taught English in many Berlin elementary schools and kindergartens. During this time I noticed the need for qualified teachers instead of unqualified language instructors.
As a result, I asked myself the following question: why not offer high-quality language services provided by qualified teachers; the teachers who have a university education?

¡Hola! ¿Necesitas ayuda?
My name is Isabel and I'm a passionate Spanish tutor dedicated to helping you improve your skills. I’m a native Spanish speaker with a degree in Translation and Interpreting, which I studied in the beautiful city of Córdoba in Spain, although I'm originally from Almería.
Whether you want to improve your Spanish for everyday use, master advanced skills, or prepare for the DELE exam, I tailor each lesson to your needs. With a structured yet dynamic approach, I’ll help you gain confidence, refine your language abilities, and reach your goals.

We'll focus on structured practice, time management, and the specific requirements of your level to ensure you achieve the best possible results.
But learning Spanish isn’t just about grammar and vocabulary. It is also much more than just "tapas", "cerveza", and "jamón"! Do you want to dive deeper into the culture, traditions, or the different dialects and accents? With me, you'll not only learn the language but also gain a deeper understanding of Spain’s rich cultural diversity and even more!

I’m a native Italian speaker with a Bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures, I studied in particular English, German and Italian didactic. Right now I'm about to take a Master's Degree in Translation for International Relations.
Three years ago I started teaching Italian during my university internship and I understood that's what I want to do for a living. Since then I never stopped: I volunteered as an Italian teacher to refugees and I started teaching online courses for those who love and would like to get to know this beautiful language! I also attended a specific course about teaching languages using games and a playful approach for adults.

I use a fresh approach to language teaching: I like to adjust my method to my student. I taught to people coming from all around the world and of all ages: from 8 to 71! My method depends on the source language; the starting level; the final goal; in which context the student would like to use Italian, and so on. I like to include games, songs and novels in my lessons, if the student is interested in any of these.

Right now I'm located in Berlin.
