Any-level English with a fun, energetic native speaker

From 24 £ /h

I am a professional English teacher with over 8 years experience in various teaching roles. I have experience of teaching all ages from 3 up to 65+ in group classes or 1-on-1. Specific purpose teaching such as public speaking or business English also taught.

I will always make the class exciting, fun and full of laughter. I think people learn better when they are engaged and enjoying themselves. I have a wide variety of teaching materials too as I currently teach online to Chinese schoolchildren for some hours of the day. I am incredibly flexible and will have a conversation with you before the class to see what learning environment will work best for you or your child. Homework can be set too.

I have just come back to Europe after spending 3 years in South Korea as a teacher to children aged 5 - 18. Before that I worked alongside children with learning difficulties for 5 years, as a sports coach and a playground designer too. Come and have a first class and see how great it is! See you soon!

My name is Marija and I've recently moved from Germany where I have been an English teacher in a private language school and Volkshochschule, and a private tutor.
I am a passionate linguist who lives the languages. I teach all levels and prepare kids and young adults for exams and help them expand their knowledge. Languages are the most beautiful thing in the world and I always try to make language closer to the student, no need for pressure and stress, everything can be learned with little bit of patience and will :) I work with individuals and groups.

Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities.

Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.

I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello everyone! I am a Georgian who was born in Moscow and lived there for 12 years. Russian is my first language and I speak it fluently. I am very good at explaining Russian grammar and I can help with expanding your Russian vocabulary. In general, lessons will include speaking, grammar and listening exercises. I have a lot of handouts for practicing Russian and some handouts that explain grammar rules in details. Also, I would like you to think of what you want to improve, and I am sure together we will make this work!

With over 12 years of experience in tutoring Maths and English at different levels, my primary objective is to ensure that you not only grasp the material but also find it enjoyable and understand its practical applications.

To achieve this, I will assign homework after each lesson to reinforce your learning and offer progress reports to track your development. Additionally, I am committed to dedicating extra time to help you overcome any challenges you may encounter.

English is a language which is growing in In importance and is widely accepted as a key skill to have. As well as this, learning a new language can be one of the most fun activities you can do and I would be really happy to help you with this!
My name is Louis, I am a 23 years old and am a native English speaker. Before The Netherlands, I have lived in the UK for 16+ years; all of my school education has been in the English taught British school system. This has helped clients in particular, with children in a British school here.

I have designed my classes with the aim of building the basic skills required in holding conversations, succeeding in an English speaking environment but also teaching students who have an advanced level but require extra help (often with the technical side, for example the rules surrounding tenses and other grammatical points).

The classes are best performed on a one to one basis but I have taught small group sessions (less than 5) before.
I hope for my lessons to be fun, informative and practical.

Arabic is my mother tongue and I am graduated in English literature. I use the Mastering Arabic methodology from Jane Wightwick and Mahmoud Mahmood Gaafar. This method can fit for multiple purposes, school & homework help, professional or leisure usage of the language.
I can adapt and customize the lessons depending on the need of the student.

• Is your English pronunciation holding you back?
• Do people misunderstand you and ask you to repeat yourself?
• Do you notice that people get tired listening to you?
• Do you feel judged before you even finish speaking?

I’m Tom, a native English speaker from the south of England. I've developed my methods from a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics plus 13 years of teaching. My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback.

❗ 45-minute lessons are via Zoom only

I offer one-to-one English accent coaching personalised for your needs and goals. I will help you correctly produce the sounds of English so that you can immediately start speaking with more clarity, confidence, and control – and without feeling awkward or anxious.

Although I take coaching seriously, and I want you to as well, my classes are also light-hearted and warm. People learn best when they’re enjoying themselves and feeling deeply interested, and that is my promise to you. I will correct your mistakes, but I will never shame or embarrass you for making them. My class is a place where people come to feel good and grow confidence.

⭐ English Pronunciation and Accent Coaching / Training / Reduction with a Qualified Expert Native Teacher

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
• Change key vowel and consonant sounds that cause misunderstandings
• Control your rhythm, intonation and pausing
• Build links between your hearing and speech muscles
• Breathe comfortably and strengthen your voice
• Adapt your voice appropriately for different purposes – meetings, interviews, presentations, pitches, conversations, and more

➡️ Fast pronunciation improvements – our main goal at all times

WILL I SOUND 100% NATIVE?
❗Research shows that for most adult speakers, it's just not possible after our teenage years to develop a fully native accent. So, honest accent coaching is not about training you to sound native. Instead, a good coach will train you to be understood by as many people as possible and communicate exactly what you intend. That means fixing problematic sounds and expanding your range of vocal styles by borrowing from voice acting techniques, from sounding authoritative and executive to warm and supportive.

If you do want to sound native, I can still help you – whichever accent you prefer – from the UK, USA, Australia or anywhere else. I can train you in the accent of your choice. If your native language is very close to English, like Dutch, or you have a sharp ear for sounds and mimicry, you may be able to develop a native-like accent as an adult. In our first session, you can take a specialised test to discover if this could be you.

WHAT ARE YOUR METHODS?
I've developed my methods from a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics plus 13 years of teaching. My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback.

• I use modern evidence-based methods
• I create my own original training materials tailored to YOUR individual language background, goals, requirements and preferences
• I offer a customised course specifically for you, not a one-size-fits-all package
• You’ll start with controlled practice to master new sounds, then move into spontaneous speech so that these skills become part of your everyday speaking habits

Curious to learn more or not sure if you need coaching? Send me a message and I'll be happy to give you my honest opinion.

I am a copywriter and a creative by profession, not a traditional teacher, and for many people, that is precisely the reason to choose me. English is the language in which I work daily. I studied and lived in it (film school in London) and worked internationally for ten years: on brands, campaigns, and even the original concept for a TV format.

I offer two things that complement each other well. On the English side: learning to speak naturally, increased self-confidence, and practical writing such as work emails, presentations, and pitches, built around real-life situations rather than dry exercises from a book. On the storytelling side: copywriting, brand and personal stories, content that sticks, motivational texts, and scripts. Ideas, structure, voice, and impact.

Come for one thing, another, or both. Every lesson is one-on-one and fully tailored to your goals. Ideal for professionals, expats, entrepreneurs, and creators. Also for sharpening your CV, LinkedIn profile, or cover letter: I help you put yourself on paper clearly and convincingly. Teenagers are also welcome for help with writing: essays, school texts, or a first CV. I work on clarity, structure, and confidence on paper—not exam training, but learning to write more effectively.

ITALIAN.
For different skill levels: From basic introduction to in-depth exploration of the language, its history and development, Latin etymologies, examples in literature (classic, modern and contemporary).

If you have interest in this language for either practical purposes or passion, but in any case you like to learn beyond the surface, learning with me is a good choice.

The class includes blocks of Italian grammar, syntax, lexicon, as well as writing, reading and oral practice.

For further interest the class can go in depth consulting literary texts from classical authors such as Dante, Petrarca, Boccaccio as well as modern authors such as Manzoni, D'Annunzio, Pirandello, and even more recent ones such as Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco and Pier Paolo Pasolini. I am open to consult Italian texts (as well proposed by the student) and together conduct an analysis of their use of Italian, in relation to each text's specific historical and geopolitical context.

I am Italian of origins, I speak fluent English and basic French. I have a strong interest in language and literature, culture and visual arts.
