About Me

Hello! I enjoy teaching English because I believe that languages help us unlock the key to truly understanding people who live in places where those languages are spoken.

I am an experienced teacher who also continues learning other languages myself. I have taught English in several countries on three different continents. So I appreciate that my students will have different needs based on where they live and what they want to accomplish with their language skills.

I adapt my teaching style to what my students want/need: do you need a serious coach to prepare for the TOEFL or another exam? Or do you need a fun, laidback lesson to help you learn more about how to use American idioms in everyday conversation? I have experience in both of these situations and everything in-between.

Hello there!

My name is Radina. I have been an English teacher for over 5 years. I learned the English language as a child because I lived and then worked for many years in New York. I have a Cambridge Proficiency CPE degree.

Every course I offer is written and tailored for you because everyone is different, isn't that right? I work with children, adolescents and adults who want to improve their conversation, pronunciation, grammar, or even want a diploma.

Everyone's welcome! In short, we learn to appreciate English in all its richness, to improve our accent through simple exercises and to have self-confidence when we speak. Together, we define the course objectives and we pursue them!

See you soon!

I am 26 years old and offer support for Spanish and English courses and exams up to the baccalaureate level.

After a scientific baccalaureate (with honors), I worked in Spain and England (C1 level) then for 9 months in Chile, I am now employed.

It will be a question of establishing what the pupil wishes to learn and / or improve and then to do exercises in relation to his interests which will allow him to become autonomous.

Are you looking for a qualified English teacher from England? You have the possibility to improve your English while being supervised by your teacher. You can work on your grammar, writing, speaking and pronunciation. Are you desperate to pass your exams, prepare yourself for an interview or correct an essay? Or do you want to go to an English school or follow an English programme? The teacher is open to your requests.
Maybe you want to share your English lesson with some of your friends? It is possible to form a group at a reduced price, tell me with whom you would like to form a group. ;-) If not, the lessons are also individualised (private).

All levels are welcome (beginners to university students)! The teacher will be happy to receive you. Lessons can also be delivered online, students even learn better when lessons are given via Skype (the teacher takes notes for you online), technology is so cool! :-)

Do you have a question? Don't worry, the teacher will be happy to answer you. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Good morning! Buenas dias!
Delighted Michaël, teacher on the internet for more than two years. I would like to offer you a fun interaction that complements the school method. I have traveled around the globe which has led me to speak several languages and also to work in particular in England, Australia, Spain or the Dominican Republic.
Basically I start the lessons by talking with my students about a bit of everything (in order to enrich the vocabulary). Depending on the level I adapt with files that are sent during the course. I also use the Callan method which works on repetition in order to properly assimilate useful words and phrases.
All in a positive way :)
Tell me your availability if you're interested for a first lesson. At worst it will have made you practice, at best you improve!
Regards
