After our first conversation on your goals and situation, I will tailor our lessons to suit your individual needs. I use a mixture of textbook material and my own high quality notes to create effective, relevant and personalised lessons, whether you are a non-native speaker hoping to improve your English language skills or a student tackling the English Leaving Cert.
-I have been teaching online one-to-one classes for more than three years to Leaving Cert English students hoping to improve their grade/understanding of texts and exam questions (be it poetry techniques, Shakespeare or writing strong essays ).

Creative Writing Support for Beginners and Non-native English Learners
25.9 £ /h
In one-to-one classes I can offer the support, feedback and encouragement that you need to start writing creatively, whether it's for a course, to improve your language skills and fluency, or as a hobby/passion. I am a graduate of English with Creative Writing at UCD, have published several short stories and have years of experience giving advice and constructive feedback to other writers (I was also the fiction editor of a successful magazine issue published by UCD). Whether we start with a piece of writing that you want to expand on and improve or just an idea or genre you would like to write in, I can assist you. As well as giving you feedback on your work and talking you through how to go about editing, we can also look at certain books or stories as examples of excellent writing, to help inspire your own work. I offer close guidance and attention and try to create a welcoming, non-judgemental environment in which to work and grow your ideas. Please get in touch with your request so I have an idea of what you are looking for before our first introductory class

*For students needing help with literature analysis, better understanding texts and essay writing*
With experience as a writer, editor and as an English graduate and LC tutor, I can offer you help with analysing literature on your college course or exam, or help you with essay writing/editing

Formerly a French student I am now living in Dublin.

I obtained in France the Brevet d'aptitude to the functions of animator in collective receptions of minors. This allowed me to develop many experiences in animation and welcoming young people.

I propose my services to teach French and French culture. I will teach basic lessons to start or improve your French language.

My training also allows me to apprehend the thing with a playful approach so necessary for the youngest.

Classes for younger students include memory games, fun ways to learn new words, regular quizzes etc.
I will match reading, listening and conversation to the topic of each class and give homework to help revise each topic. During the following class I will revise the previous topic and move on to a new one.
After a number of topics there will be a small quiz to check the students progress and assess where the student needs to improve.

Hi there! My name is Evan and I’m offering conversational and practical English and Spanish tutoring sessions from either your home or via webcam. One of the most important aspects of language learning I focus on is self-expression and I like or identify the individual needs of the student.

I have experience teaching primary and secondary students as well as all levels to adults. I’m also training to become TEFL certified. I have worked in both public schools and in a private academy teaching all levels (A1-C2). I also can provide conversational and grammatical tutoring sessions in Spanish language as I have a native level.

If fun and creative classes provided by an English native and native-level Spanish speaker in Dublin sounds like what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to contact me or ask me any questions! Happy learning 🤗

Hi there, my name is Adrian. I was born in Brussels, raised in Madrid to a Spanish mother and an Irish father, where I coursed my education in the French education system (Lycée Français de Madrid). Because of this, I am a native speaker of these three beautiful languages and have given classes to kids and adults for several years before moving to Dublin in 2019.
I have helped students prepare for official exams and taught other the basics of the languages.
Send me a message with any questions you might have, I'll be happy to answer you and help with your journey to become a proficient Spanish, French or English speaker :)

Would you like to be able to not only understand Spanish but also have a complete conversation with a native Spanish speaker? I can make it happen! Only practice makes perfect, so from now on we will only speak in Spanish!

I used an interactive and practical method to teach, you will learn while you enjoy.

Last year I completed the Master's Degree in Teaching Foreign Languages to Secondary Education students. This time turned me into a patient teacher, fully aware of the different rhythms that different students need to learn something as complex as a new language.

I can't wait to guide you through your process!

Learning a language is very interesting and useful. Do you want to learn or improve your Spanish? No matter what your objective is (travel reasons, conversation, certificate...), I can help you achieve it.
My name is Irene and I am a native teacher. I have training (Master in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language, ELE) and two years of experience as a teacher both online and in person at Western Michigan University.

Whether you are a beginner or looking to improve your skills in general, I can adapt the class to your needs and help you achieve your goal in a dynamic and interesting way. Together, we can explore the Spanish language and many cultural elements that make this language so interesting and complete.

If you are interested or have any questions, don't hesitate to write to me!

Taking time to practise speaking the language you are learning is crucial in the development of your active vocabulary. This will allow you to communicate with greater fluency and confidence.
You can suggests topics or discuss a variety of topics like hobbies and passions, work and travel or anything that you would like to work on. Throughout the class I will keep track of any and all vocabulary that you were unfamiliar with and go over them with you as well as send the list to you at the end of the class, to keep track of words and expressions as you encounter them.
I have several games that I believe to be well suited for the learning of vocabulary. These will add an element of fun to the process of learning.
