Relaxed and goal-oriented teaching in Finnish and English

From 20 £ /h

I do not have a formal graduate degree in teaching, but I place a high value on all forms of learning a language (listening, speaking, reading & writing) and I believe my prior experience as a tutor compensates for this lack. I have years of past teaching experience as a music teacher and a substitute teacher. I have taught individually, in big classes, and in kindergarten as well.

In general, my method is quite dynamic, flexible, and goal-oriented. I am very flexible and listen to my students on their goals. I am prepared to research how to develop as a teacher and how to meet my students' goals best. I provide material to help my students improve independently between lessons (optional homework).

In English, I use a specific coursebook series which is also designed for self-study, but I do implement some additional materials for learning such as Preply content, lesson PDFs, and audio files from external sources according to students' individual needs.

In the Finnish language, I use multiple different textbooks and audio which provide learning and practice for the written word as well as the spoken language. I implement materials found online as well. There are varying ways to meet the goals of students, and thus the specifics of these methods should be applied individually.

About Me

My name is Arttu. I am a 31-year-old Finnish native speaker with fluency in English. In addition to Finland, I have lived in the UK for 3 years where I did my Bachelor's degree.

My interests are music, painting, audiobooks, exercise, learning new things, and various games. I also enjoy conversing with people from various cultures and have traveled to many countries over the past years.

My hope here is to find good and long-lasting relationships with students whom I can see learning, growing, and enjoying their time learning.

Guitar teacher with over 10 years of experience (+ music theory, composing, music technology, and music production) in Finnish and English

It all depends on the subjects taught, but I teach with different kinds of materials and ideas. Naturally, I use various media resources available in this day and age.

As online teaching might suffer from latency, I tend to focus mainly on dialogue-like playing going back and forth instead of trying to play together. For actual live playing, I can provide additional audio resources for the student to learn by themselves.

I want to help my students learn as effectively as they can without relying eternally on teachers to keep on learning things. I believe music is a discovery one must do for themselves as well and teachers can provide tools and support in that process.

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.

English for yourself, work, travel, school, exams, and simply improving your overall level.

Hi! My name is Dilara. I’ve been teaching for 5 years, and I live and study in English far from home. I have experience taking and preparing students for English exams.

I’ve personally gone through the entire journey from A1 to studying medicine in English. I created my own language courses and, together with my colleagues, teach languages. I was able to move away from home by passing all my exams in English.

And you can do it too.

Process Engineer (Chemistry).
I offer English and Arabic lessons as well as homework help, tailored to the level, needs and objectives of each student.

I have already had the opportunity to accompany children of different ages and levels.
I also worked as an English tutor at the university for four years. This experience allowed me to develop a real knack for individual support, with very different profiles and levels.

I can help you learn or improve your English or Arabic, work on grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension, improve your speaking skills, or simply gain more confidence in the language. I also offer homework help, with explanations tailored to the student's level and support to better understand lessons and develop effective study habits.

I adapt to each student's pace and above all, I try to make the lessons simple, clear, and enjoyable. The goal is not just to do the exercises, but to understand, progress, and gradually become more independent.

The courses are open to children, teenagers and adults, from beginner to advanced level.

I primarily offer in-person lessons in Lyon 3 and Villeurbanne. Online lessons via videoconference are also available. I generally prefer an initial in-person lesson to get to know the student, understand their needs, and develop a personalized learning method. We can then continue in person or online, depending on preferences and availability.
