As an experienced English Language Arts (ELA) tutor, I offer personalized instruction designed to strengthen reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills for students in grades 4 through 12. My approach is student-centered, with lessons tailored to each learner’s unique strengths, challenges, and academic goals. Whether your student needs help improving reading comprehension, mastering essay structure, expanding vocabulary, or preparing for standardized tests, I provide targeted support in a positive and engaging environment.

I emphasize the development of analytical skills by guiding students through a variety of texts—literature, nonfiction, poetry, and informational articles—while encouraging thoughtful discussion and evidence-based interpretation. In writing instruction, I focus on helping students craft clear, coherent, and compelling pieces across genres, from persuasive essays to literary analyses and creative narratives.

Sessions may include grammar and mechanics instruction, vocabulary development, research skills, and support with school assignments or enrichment activities. I also integrate strategies for organization, time management, and test-taking when needed. My ultimate goal is to build confidence and independence, equipping students with the tools they need to succeed not just in ELA, but across all areas of study. With a supportive and results-driven approach, I strive to make learning meaningful and enjoyable for every student.

Let’s work together to unlock your student’s full potential in ELA.

Hi,

In a rapidly evolving world where knowledge and data continue to expand, it's essential not to overlook real social connections. Helping others has been a significant part of my life since I was a little boy. I am driven to contribute to our society by bringing people together and fostering meaningful connections. This ambition fuels my desire to work towards this goal.

Currently, I am a Belgian student in my second year of Civil Engineering at KU Leuven. However, I have come to realize that this field doesn't align with my passion for human interaction. Hence, I have decided to reorient myself academically and will be starting a degree in Business Engineering in September.

Before I embark on my new academic journey, I want to utilize the next five months to share my knowledge and gain additional skills. I take pride in the quality of education I received at my high school, Heilig Hartcollege Tervuren, and would be delighted to offer study pathway counseling and support to you or your child/teen. I can cover nearly every subject up to university level Civil Engineering.

If you have specific inquiries or would like to know more about me or the subjects I can cover, feel free to get in touch. Currently based in Belgium, I have two years of experience providing private support. If you are located in Manhattan, I am willing to travel, but kindly allow me 3 to 4 days to pack my bags and make arrangements.

Lessons can be conducted in English, French, or Dutch, depending on your preference.

I am excited about the prospect of meeting you and collaborating to enhance your academic performance. I am open to all kinds of offers and propositions.

Best regards,
Arnaud

Santiago
Hi,
My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is on developing English language communication in a fluid and structured way, whether to prepare for international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate adequately in the professional field, or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.
I have a degree, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English since I was a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School and lived for a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA, I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.
In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts and this helped me prepare for my studies in the US I had several communication classes, learning techniques on how to speak better using not only our words, but also our body to help us speak in a way more natural, calm and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduating I worked for a year, mainly having long conversations on the phone with people from all over the country.
Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I will prepare you so that you can meet your objectives. It could be studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving communication in the professional field or practicing so as not to lose the level previously acquired.
If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I am going to help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times, that is why I design my classes individually.

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.

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.

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.
