Relaxed Chats in English with Ryan the Australian/South African - Improve Your Confidence in English

From 28 £ /h

The purpose of our chats/classes is to increase your comfort and confidence with speaking English.
Learning any language takes dedication and persistence, but I will help make it easier for you.
The more you hear English spoken, and the more you try to speak it, the faster you will recognise the sounds, and the more confidence you will gain.
It starts with feeling totally comfortable to try, and to make mistakes.
And that's where I can help.

ABOUT ME

My family tree has its roots in England.
I grew up in Mandela's beautiful South Africa.
I later spent 9 years "Down Under" in Dronning Mary's magnificent Australia.
Then marriage brought me to the lovely Kingdom of Denmark :-)
I'm not a trained English teacher, however:
- I scored 8.5 (Expert) on the IELTS test
- I love to teach and explain
- I'm super-patient and caring
- My accent is easy to understand
Let's have some relaxed and interesting chats to improve your English fluency and pronunciation :-)
I'll be happy to share stories from living all around the world, and hearing about your life.
LGBT friendly.

MY APPROACH

I know what it's like to learn a new language and I know just how scary it can be to open your mouth to try and speak it.

I will provide a safe space, free of criticism or embarrassment, to help you overcome your fears of learning this VITAL world language. The English language can really be your passport to the world :-)

The time it takes to learn English is different for different people, but the statistics show that the more you hear the language and the sooner you start speaking it - even if it's slow and difficult at first - the faster you will learn.

My job is not to explain complex rules and grammar to you. You can learn those online or in a school.

I'm here to get you speaking and listening, so that you train your ears and your mouth in English. And over time, bit by bit, I will also help you to speak more accurately.

Luckily for you, because English is spoken so widely, native English speakers are quite used to hearing English spoken incorrectly. So there's really no need to stress too much about your little errors in grammar or pronunciation.

Let's just get you speaking! :-)

English class for children from the ages 4 to 17. The class will be focused on 3 different aspects such as speaking, writing, and listening. As a tutor, I will do my best to make the lesson fun and engaging, so students will have more interest to learn the language. I speak Danish fluently so if there is something that the student does not understand, it can be explained in Danish as well for better comprehension. Materials for the lesson will be provided by the tutor.

Hi :) My name is Sarah and I'm a Native English speaker from New York. I've been living in Europe for some time now, predominantly in Poland where I worked as an English teacher for various private clients from different age groups (from kids aged 6-12 to adults). Apart from Central Europe, I've finished my Bachelor's degree education in England where I worked as an English editor and copywriter alongside my studies. Now I'm excited to explore Denmark while I'm here for my further studies and look forward to finding some bright and interesting students to tutor in the language I love to teach! The structure of my classes is largely dependent on what the student wishes to focus on - if you're looking to improve your grammatical skills, brush up on your written English, or simply looking forward for a chance to train your conversation abilities - I'm happy to help! We can discuss all this during our first class. The most important thing for me is to allow my students to feel more comfortable with using the English language and the best way to do that is to ensure you feel you are learning and excelling in areas that are most important to you. As to the format of our classes, we can either meet where it is comfortable for you, at your home, at a cafe, go for a walk or meet online - I'm quite flexible when it comes to that and am happy to explore the city :)

I am an experienced and certified mathematics tutor specializing in a range of curriculums, including AS and A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE, SATs, Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With a proven track record of guiding students to success in these rigorous exams, I understand the unique challenges each curriculum presents. My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.

Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics. This method not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for advanced problem-solving scenarios. I utilize a variety of teaching methods, from visual aids to interactive exercises, to cater to different learning styles and make the subject more relatable.

In my sessions, I focus on developing effective problem-solving strategies. I guide students through step-by-step processes for tackling various types of mathematical problems, helping them to analyze questions critically and approach solutions systematically. This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications. I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, as this fosters a deeper understanding of the material.

I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused. I believe that learning should be a positive experience, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their concerns and challenges.

Throughout my tutoring career, I have seen firsthand the transformative impact of personalized education. Many of my students have achieved outstanding results, including high grades and scholarships, thanks to the tailored support I provide. I take immense pride in their accomplishments, and my dedication to their success is unwavering.

In addition to my expertise in mathematics, I emphasize the importance of a growth mindset. I encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. This perspective not only helps them in their studies but also equips them with resilience that will serve them well in all areas of life.

If you're looking for expert tutoring that delivers outstanding results, I invite you to book a lesson today. Together, we can embark on a journey toward academic excellence in mathematics. I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential. Don't hesitate to reach out; I am here to support you every step of the way!

German is for sure not an easy language.
Luckily it is my mother language and because of that I want to help others to learn this language or to improve it further.
I recently finished school in Austria. This is an advantage because I can still put myself well into students shoes and I know what kind of teaching is the most beneficial.
So if you want to get better im German do not hesitate to contact me :)

I am Faustine, a 22-year-old student in the Master of Public Policy - specializing in Culture at Sciences Po Paris. As part of my final master's internship, I work as a producer at Dansehallerne, a cultural structure that programs dance and co-produces international choreographers.

I am available to give private lessons in French, English, history and for homework help in middle and high school. I worked for a year in Paris, in a private tutoring agency, thanks to which I was able to provide support to several middle and high school students in these subjects. This experience was very enriching and I would like to continue giving private lessons during my internship in Copenhagen.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested!

Student at ESCP after 3 years of preparatory class at the Lycée Henri IV in Paris (in the B/L stream, i.e. Letters and Social Sciences), I offer to accompany your children during their middle and high school years. Holder of a scientific baccalaureate and a degree in Mathematics from the Sorbonne validated in 2022 and equipped with a literary background thanks to the B/L, I am able to follow your children on very varied subjects and I want to share all the theoretical knowledge that I have been able to acquire and my taste for learning with any student in difficulty to whom I could help.

A patient, attentive teacher, I adapt to the needs of each student to help them progress as best as possible. I myself have made enormous progress in CPGE. I have gained in rigor and efficiency in 3 years and I would like to share both my working method and my rigor with my students.

Typical math courses for example:

- I start the lesson by asking the student questions to identify his main difficulties and I answer any questions he may have.

- I then suggest several standard exercises to him to then make a method sheet and identify precisely what are the steps to follow when faced with this or that type of exercise.

- Finally, I offer him more complex exercises so that he learns to cultivate his intuition in the face of a mathematical exercise.

Of course, this is only a typical process, I adapt to the needs and wishes of the student, a course is above all a dialogue. The main thing is that the student feels as comfortable as possible to ask all the questions that come to him and gain confidence!

I am in Copenhagen for an internship at the French Embassy for a few months, do not hesitate to contact me for any information.

Hi! I'm a university student from New York, currently pursuing a degree in Information Technology and Management at the University at Buffalo. As a native English speaker, I'm excited to help students from around the world develop their English language skills!

I specialize in helping children and teenagers improve their conversational English, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, and grammar. My lessons are best suited for students who already have a basic understanding of English and are looking to strengthen their existing skills.

**My Teaching Approach**

I believe every student learns differently, which is why I tailor my lessons to each student's individual needs, interests, and learning goals. I begin by getting to know the student, assessing their current English abilities, and identifying areas where they would like to improve.

My lessons combine structured learning with interactive activities to keep students engaged. Depending on the student's needs, lessons may include everyday conversations, pronunciation exercises, vocabulary building, reading comprehension, grammar practice, and writing activities. I also offer support with school English assignments and help students develop stronger communication skills.

I strive to create a welcoming, patient, and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and practicing their English without fear of judgment.

My goal is not only to help students improve their English but also to build their confidence so they can communicate naturally and independently in everyday situations and academic settings!
