Learn English with a Native Speaker - classes for both children and adults

From 31 £ /h

My goal as an ESL teacher is to help students become confident English speakers. Each lesson is student-centered, meaning I adapt my teaching method to fit the needs of the student. I believe that the most rewarding part of learning any language is being able to interact with other people. During our lessons, we will build a basis of vocabulary and grammar that will then be used in communication through speaking and listening.

Proper pronunciation is an important part of effective communication; therefore, I work hard to help students hear exactly how they can improve their speech.

I know that learning a foreign language can be intimidating, so I strive to create a friendly learning environment for all students!

Extra information

Please bring a notebook, as well as a pen or a pencil.

* I am able to speak basic French, but you should expect the class to be taught in English!
* In certain cases, I can travel to the student's location.

Hello,

In these one to one lessons we will work together on proper pronunciation, articulation, tone as well as grammar and vocabulary. Each class will be designed with the particular interest of the student in mind so if there's a particular goal you have, I will do my very best to help you work towards it - whether it's oral preparation for exams, for professional reasons or just social.

What I can help you with:

- Pronunciation, Articulation & Tone
- Wider Vocabulary
- Improved Grammar

Key Factors of these one to one lessons:
- Flexible private lessons - organize your classes for when it suits you and your schedule

- Goal-oriented classes - improve your conversational skills for exams, work or social reasons

- The option of learning in a group if you would like to share your lesson with family/friends/colleagues

Looking forward to speaking with you!

I offer English classes for all levels and purposes: school, high-school, university, official exams, conversation, written assignment assistance, etc.

I am highly skilled in writing, vocabulary, and grammar in the English language, considering it my mother tongue, although I am Austrian. My accent is very neutral and international, as I went to International schools from the age of five and completed a degree in London. I spent my school years helping fellow students with their homework and conversational skills and my university years correcting and editing fellow students' essays.

I would tailor our classes to your needs and requirements - just let me know what it is you need to achieve and we will make it happen together!

The key points I will be able to help with:
- Written and spoken knowledge and understanding
- Grammar
- Pronunciation and vocabulary

Looking forward to speaking with you!

I am a certified Canadian educator, and my teaching experience includes Primary Years Cambridge curriculum in English Language Arts, English Literature, Maths, Humanities and Global Perspectives for both Primary Years (Grades 3,4,6 and Lower Secondary. I also have experience teaching Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) as well as Physical Education, and life skills for classes in both Primary, Lower and Upper Secondary.

My education philosophy is rooted in pedagogy which is focused on the empowerment of children, teachers and parents to support the full development of children and assist in maintaining a joyful environment in which children can thrive, learn and realize their potential in a fun way.

Why is this important? Well, firstly, a happier childhood in which children are equipped with a keen sense of themselves can help them to better transition into adulthood.

What I have realized is that a balance is required between academic learning and life skills which includes social, emotional learning. My work involves supporting a teaching approach which focuses on student and parent engagement working together to support the child's individual needs. In the classroom, it is supporting children to be engaged and motivated learners by focusing on a truly student-centered approach at their pace and level of understanding and moving towards their learning goals step by step. This approach not only builds tremendous self-confidence but also boosts the child's understanding that they are cared for and their personal identity is more than just their academic abilities; supporting the whole development of the child.

Upon recently completing a Masters of Arts in Childhood studies and Early Years, my autoethnographic dissertation on supporting well-being in international schools with third culture kids demonstrates that there is a need for a new approach towards well-being in schools. Well-being support is necessary for all children and cannot be compartmentalized but requires an integrated and unique approach.

The goal of my teaching approach is to support students to have a happy childhood by helping schools to support their student’s well-being in a more integrated and engaging way since our approaches towards children greatly impacts their personal development.

Meet me, Oum, your go-to professor for transforming French and English lessons into an engaging adventure! With years of experience teaching teenagers and adults in France, Greece, and Portugal, I’ve mastered the art of making grammar, vocabulary, communication, reading, and speaking both fun and effective.

In France, I've helped teenagers conquer English and adults speak it with confidence, all while keeping things lively and entertaining. In Greece and Portugal, I’ve brought the French language to life for my students, ensuring they enjoy every moment of learning. In all these countries, I have been teaching mathematics for under 16 years old, and I was able to make it an easy to absorb subject because of my advanced techniques in teaching and helping the kids/teenagers to get intrigued by the lesson. Learning is always fun because it speaks to our curiosity!

My approach? Combining interactive exercises, and relatable anecdotes to turn every lesson into a memorable experience. Ready to join the fun? Enroll in my classes today and see why my students love learning with me!

If you're already comfortable with the basics of English and want to take your skills to the next level, my lessons are perfect for you! I focus on conversation practice and expanding vocabulary, helping you gain confidence in real-world situations. Instead of diving into grammar drills, we’ll work on fluency, pronunciation, and natural expression through interactive discussions on a variety of topics that interest you. These sessions are ideal for intermediate to advanced learners who want to refine their speaking abilities and feel more confident when using English in different social settings.

I'm a native English-speaking maths tutor with a BSc in Mathematics and an MSc in Finance, working with international school and GCSE/IGCSE students in Lisbon. I help students build confidence and improve their results across IGCSE (Edexcel), IB, and American Common Core curricula.

Recent results include a student who passed her GCSEs with the grade she needed for university, and a student who went from at risk of failing to a B in his final assessment, whose teacher noted a real change in both his understanding and his attitude toward the subject.

Having also coached and taught under-18s in sport (swimming and rugby), I've developed a patient, structured and encouraging style. I particularly enjoy working with students who feel stuck or have lost confidence in maths.

My lessons focus on:
• Clear step-by-step explanations
• Strengthening core maths foundations
• Exam technique and practice
• Building confidence and independent thinking

Based in Belém, offering lessons in person or online, whatever works best for your family.

Feel free to message me to discuss what your child needs.

Learning Portuguese or English can be quite rewarding.
English is a language used globally, so it’s important to know it.
Portuguese can also be a nice tool, because anyone that knows Portuguese will understand the basics of any Latin language.

My approach is structured, rigorous and tailored to each student’s level, learning profile and objectives. I work across British, American, Portuguese and international curricula, supporting students at every stage from foundational learning and remediation to advanced study and exam preparation.

My experience spans a wide range of learning profiles, from students requiring substantial academic and cognitive support to highly advanced and high-achieving students. Having worked with ADHD, learning difficulties and developmental or cognitive challenges, as well as students performing significantly above grade level, I am experienced in adapting both the level of support and academic challenge to the individual student.
