Learner English for beginners and all other learners
Acquiring additional languages will broaden your horizons; it will enable you to interact with a greater number of individuals and enhance your social network, while also enhancing critical thinking skills from diverse perspectives that may result in significant career opportunities. Cultural awareness, improved communication skills and enhanced academic performance are just a few of the benefits of learning new languages or improving your language skills. For an academic student, I would monitor their current classes, design exercises to enhance their proficiency and concentrate on identifying and ameliorating their weaknesses. In a lesson for a volunteer learner, I would prioritise speaking practice, since the pronunciation of certain syllables is essential.

English help for student in ks2 and ks1 in primary school
Hello! I'm Hafsa, a passionate educator from East London. With a strong background in teaching primary school children, I specialize in helping young learners grasp the fundamentals of English, including nouns, adjectives, verbs, and sentence construction. My love for language and teaching is evident in my enthusiastic approach to making learning both fun and engaging. I believe that every student has the potential to excel, and my goal is to inspire a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom. I have a rich experience in tutoring primary school students, with a particular focus on English language fundamentals. In my previous role as a tutor, I guided students through the intricacies of grammar and vocabulary. My approach involves interactive lessons that encourage students to explore the meanings of words and how they can be used effectively in sentences. I create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing themselves. This not only helps in their academic performance but also builds their confidence in using language. I believe in a student-centered teaching philosophy, where understanding each child's unique learning style is key. I use a variety of teaching methods, including games, storytelling, and practical exercises, to keep lessons dynamic and interesting. My goal is to make each session enjoyable and educational, leaving a lasting impression that motivates students to continue learning. Parents can trust that I am not only knowledgeable but also approachable and patient. I prioritize clear communication and regular updates on progress, ensuring that both students and parents are comfortable and satisfied with the learning process. I specialize in teaching children aged 5-11, focusing on foundational English skills. My classes are designed to help students: Understand Basic Grammar: Identifying and using nouns, adjectives, and verbs correctly. Sentence Construction: Crafting well-formed sentences for both written and spoken communication. Vocabulary Building: Expanding their lexicon and understanding word meanings in various contexts. I have a thorough understanding of the primary school syllabus and am familiar with common examination formats. My experience includes preparing students for standardised tests and assessments, such as the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 in the UK. I use materials and practice tests from reputable sources, ensuring students are well-prepared and confident when facing their exams. To get started, I offer a friendly introductory session where we can discuss your child's specific needs and goals. Whether your child needs help catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead, I'm here to provide the support they need. Let's work together to unlock your child's full potential!

We will have grammar lessons and I will explain common mistakes you make, as well as taking you through complicated pronunciation or grammar rules.

I am also learning Turkish and hopefully soon I will be able to teach in Turkish.

Abdrahman
A remote & onsite Arabic class where students can learn speaking, writing & reading. It's also a class where Quran and Islamic Studies are taught.
Hello! My name is Abdrahman, from Nigeria. I have studied Arabic language (including reading, writing, listening and speaking skills). I also studied Quran & it's sciences, Tajweed, and other Islamic studies for more than fourteen years. I have studied Arabic from the International Open University and Arabic Institute. Currently, I'm also an Undergraduate student of Islamic Studies Education in the University of Lagos, Akoka. I also study under the tutelage of Sheikh Raslān from Egypt. I am a tutor of modern standard Arabic, classical Arabic (the language of Quran and Hadith) and colloquial Arabic ('āmiyyah). I love teaching Arabic because it is a very important language of Islam. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said we should love Arabic language because: he is an Arabic, the holy Quran is in Arabic language and the language of the paradise dwellers is Arabic. I also love teaching Arabic language because it is the fifth most spoken language in the world. It is the official language of 26 countries including 5 of the wealthiest countries in the world. And it's sixth most spoken language in the world. Learning such a language will avail you to the discovery of most interesting cultures in today's world. It will also look good in your resume. With Arabic language, you'll become a polyglot and you will be able to adapt to the environments of Arab. As a Muslim, with Arabic language, you'll have thorough understanding of Quran and Sunnah. I have been tutoring Arabic and Islamic Studies since 2014 both online and offline till date. I tutor the learners between the ages of 5 - 80. The focus of my instruction is on all the important skills of the language (reading, writing, listening and speaking), grammar and vocabulary development. With these, you'll be able to intermingle with Arabic speaking people in any Arab environment you find yourself and of course, you'll have yourself prepared and fit for any formal exam. I am also certified to instruct in the memorization of Quran, the sciences of Quran like different versions of Quranic recitation (riwāyāt), the exegesis of Quran (tafsīr), e.t.c I have syllabus and materials for tutoring Arabic efficiently within a period of six to twelve months. I'm well experienced in tutoring with these books: ➡️ I love Arabic ➡️ Lessons in Arabic language ➡️ Nūrul bayān ➡️ Iqrā' qirā'tī ➡️ Qā'idāh Nūrāniyyah ➡️ Qā'idāh Makkiyyah ➡️ Qā'idāh Baghdādiyyah ➡️ Arabic in your hands ➡️ Tuhfatul Atfāl ➡️ Exegesis of Ibn Kathīr e.t.c I also have experience in teaching English language and Philosophy. Learning English language helps in developing ideas and communicating them. I would be glad to be your tutor in this journey, choose me and you will not regret it. See you in my class! I have 7 years of teaching experience. I'm a certified Arabic and English teacher. I have TESL and simplified Arabic certification. My teaching method is philosophical, experimental and persuasive. My teaching approach is simple to complex.

Maya
Oxbridge English Admission Application and Test Coaching
Applications for English at Oxford and Cambridge both involve a written assessment, both of which I provide expert tutoring and guidance in as a first-class Classics and English graduate from Oxford. English at Oxford uses the English Literature Admissions Test to decide who will be invited for interview, whereas at Cambridge only candidates shortlisted for interview will be required to take a written assessment. Both tests require detailed and thoughtful responses to literary extracts, which I will help develop your thinking and writing for. Applicants are also required to submit two pieces of written work prior to interview, which I am able to advise about if requested.
