✅ Hindi belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European family of languages. Along with English, Hindi is one of the official languages of India.
✅ Hindi is one of the world's most important languages. If you want to visit India, become a successful businessperson in India, or travel across the country, knowing Hindi is essential.
✅ I specialize in providing Hindi lessons to students and individuals learning the language.
✅ My primary goal is to teach Hindi, as I can guide learners from basic to advanced levels and solve any problems effectively.
✅ Students and learners can grasp Hindi well because I am a native speaker.
✅ You will begin by learning Hindi vowels and consonants, progressing to reading, writing, listening, and speaking Hindi.
✅ Finally, I encourage you to book a lesson with me and start learning Hindi today. I am available 24/7 to assist you.
Namaste to all!

As one of the most spoken languages in the world, learning Spanish from an early age can allow children not just to ease into the grammar and spelling but also adapt to correct pronunciation. Being billingual from a personal experience has opened me a tremendous amount of opportunities. From hospitality jobs to work experience abroad. Learning Spanish will also aid in the learning of other languages such as French or Italian. During my IGCSE's, I achieved a Grade of A* (96%), and most of it I attribute to my already fluent level in Spanish.

Classes will follow a progressive increase in level and challenge.
My first class will be analysing their current level and how easy the student grasps the language, and from there set weekly goals for them to reach.
My priority is for them to learn as much as possible the accent and correct pronunciation of the words, followed then by learning of sentence structure.

I am proficient in English, French, and Latin. If you would like one-on-one assistance with any of these languages, feel free to get in touch with me. As a linguist I am happy to provide 'deep' explanations of each language's grammar and phonetics should you ask for them.

Hello! I am a university student at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and I am currently in Edinburgh. If you are a beginner or want to improve your Spanish? Don't be afraid to start. My classes are focused on developing your communication and expression skills, they are 100% linguistic immersion.

These are classes that I have taught and in which I have more experience, if you want to learn Spanish to travel, you need to improve your academic grades, conversation-only classes, interesting topics, language reinforcement or you want to improve your communication with your friends/family Spanish speakers.

So that you have an idea of what my classes are like:
o Academic classes we learn grammar and vocabulary, conversation.
o In conversation classes we talk about different topics + expand vocabulary and
We correct pronunciation errors.
o In travel classes we learn about how to ask for directions, ask for prices, order food, etc.

All classes are flexible and adapted to you with the goals you set.
At home, online or at an intermediate point

Now that we live in a multicultural world it is very important to acknowledge different ways and languages to communicate. It is useful for developing on different personal levels such as, socially, professionally and intellectually.

You will learn basic understanding of the language, grammar rules to learn to construct sentences properly and colloquial speaking which is very important to understand different dialects. The point of this is to open doors to new opportunities, get involved in new cultures and have fun!

Utopian Studies extends the notion from Thomas More's Utopia to the emergence of dystopian literature, highlighting the connection between fictionalized literary works and reality. The seminar is designed for students with advanced reading skills as the primary readings are mainly novels. Students are expected to carry out individual research. Further readings (journals, academic papers, etc) will be provided to support the discussion during the class.

Provisional reading list:
Utopia by Thomas More
News from Nowhere by William Morris
The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
High-Rise by J.G. Ballard
Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

My lessons are a mix of conversational Italian and grammar explanations, with the aid of written and online resources to practice vocabulary and grammar. I typically start from the Italian words and expressions you might already know (everyone knows more Italian than they think!) and take it from there, with plenty of simulated scenarios where you get to speak like a native among natives (and I get to ridicule myself imitating all sorts of Italian people!).

When explaining a new topic, I like to encourage students to use their insight, nudging them when necessary. I have observed how even absolute beginners can easily guess the meaning of a new word or the way a certain word will behave, once certain patterns between and within Italian and English (and possibly other languages) are highlighted. When a student reaches the correct conclusion with just a little help, that is highly rewarding for both the student and the teacher!

For more advanced students, the focus is often on vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar nuances. I like to choose a topic together and subsequently bring a written text (like a newspaper article), from which to extract more specialised vocabulary, and which will serve as a basis for discussions and debates.
