Trained actor and experienced media trainer - background in political speech writing

From 46 £ /h

I am a trained actor from one of the UK's best drama schools and I have a background in publicity and politics: I worked as a publicist and media trainer for politicians for 7 years (my previous employers include Martin Schulz, president of the European Parliament, the Austrian Liberal Party NEOS and Sadiq Khan, mayor of London), accompanying them to their TV and media appearances and preparing them for interviews and TV debates.

As an actor, my credits include several feature films and a number of theatre plays, including "Richard II", "A Winter's Tale" and "Waiting for Godot". I am bilingual in English and German and am happy to work in both languages.

Whether you are preparing for a presentation, a media appearance, interview or you just want to improve your confidence in speaking in front of a group, I will make sure to tailor our sessions to your individual goals and needs.

Public speaking means sharing our ideas with others, which is an incredibly personal and vulnerable place to be in and I can offer you techniques to combat stage fright and enable you to be your best, authentic and confident self.

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Methodology :
- Initial assessment: For each support I will carry out a diagnostic assessment to identify the student's strengths and weaknesses in the subject concerned (mathematics, French, science, etc.).
- Personalized approach: Courses are adapted to the student's level, with individualized monitoring. This includes practical exercises, targeted revisions, and explanations adapted to each learning pace.
- Progressive objectives: we set short and long-term objectives together to motivate the student and measure their progress.
- Learning techniques: I use interactive methods (online exercises, educational games) and revision sheets to help memorize and understand key concepts (flashcards, etc.)

Typical sessions:
- Course of the sessions:
- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to introduce and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.
- Questions and corrections: 10-15 minutes at the end to answer the student's questions and correct mistakes together.

I know that some students think some subject in school is so hard to understand, sometime it feels like the teacher is not talking the same language, very hard to understand. I'm used to be like that but then when I understand how to translate that into my own thinking, my own language. It helps me understand things in my own way and makes everything feel easier.
I want to help anyone who has that challenge, especially in subjects such as math, economics, logistics, and calculations. So if you want to more, feel free to have a chat! Always nice to talk :)

Я преподаю английский русскоговорящим ученикам. Я носитель русского языка, уже более 12 лет живу в Англии и окончила британский университет. Мой уровень английского близок к уровню носителя. Поскольку я сама выучила английский как иностранный, я хорошо понимаю, с какими трудностями сталкиваются русскоговорящие ученики, и умею объяснять сложные моменты простым и понятным языком.

На занятиях мы уделяем основное внимание разговорной практике, чтобы вы могли не просто знать правила, а уверенно общаться на английском в реальных ситуациях. Грамматику и произношение разбираем по мере необходимости, на понятных примерах, уделяя основное внимание живому общению.

Если вы начинаете с нуля, мы постепенно освоим основы грамматики, поставим произношение и разберём фразы, необходимые для повседневного общения. Если у вас уже есть база, будем работать над беглостью речи, расширять словарный запас и учиться свободнее выражать свои мысли. При необходимости подготовимся к собеседованию, презентации или общению на английском в профессиональной среде.

Я хорошо знакома с типичными трудностями русскоговорящих учеников: артиклями, системой времён, порядком слов и произношением. Мы будем разбирать ошибки спокойно и конструктивно, чтобы вы понимали не только, как правильно, но и почему.
На уроках мы преимущественно говорим по-английски, а русский используем там, где он помогает быстрее разобраться в теме и двигаться дальше.

Расскажите, для чего вам нужен английский и чего вы хотите достичь. Я помогу выстроить занятия с учётом ваших целей, уровня и индивидуальных потребностей.

Hindi is more than a language; it is a way to understand India, its culture, and its people.

My classes focus on clear communication, strong fundamentals, and practical application. I believe in structured learning, intellectual curiosity, and discipline over rote memorization.

With certifications in HBMSU (Dubai), Early Childhood Education from Reliance Foundation, along with the McKinsey Forward Program, I bring a learner-focused approach to teaching.

The objective is simple: understand the language, use it with confidence, and learn with purpose.
