    About Me

    I am a professional violinist. I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in violin from the Conservatory of music 'Alessandro Scarlatti' in Palermo. I also took a course in chamber music at Université de Montréal.

    I teach students of all ages and levels.
    I have 3 years of teaching experience in Italy and Germany ( privately and at music schools ).

    In my lessons, I support students in building a strong connection with their instrument and nurturing a positive bond with music. By focusing on developing listening skills, rhythmic awareness, and effective use of the body, I help them unlock their musical creativity. Each lesson is personalized to suit the unique goals and preferences of the student.

    Marina
    Chinese Mandarin 10 yrs experience 25 repeat students
    I am a professional full-time Chinese Mandarin teacher from the North of China where Mandarin comes from. I have been teaching for about 10 years as a teacher. I have my own school and website for studying Chinese. Students' ages are from 3 to adults. They are from all over the world. You can study with me online /come to my office/ Go-home lessons. Classes can be one-to-one or group classes. I have been helping numerous people learn to speak Chinese and do exam HSK. Children always have fun learning Mandarin with me. I teach Mandarin for business purposes, traveling, YCT (for Children and teenagers), BCT (business Chinese), Conversational practice, Advanced level Chinese classes, etc. Any levels are all welcome. Classes type: Daily Chinese HSK class: Level 1--Level 6 HSKK class: HSK speaking test (Beginner to advanced) Chinese grammar class BCT / Startup Business in China: Business Chinese (Beginner to Advanced) YCT class: Level 1--Level 6 for children to teenagers Easy steps to Chinese: 3-12 years old children There are some other classes that welcome you to message me. I grew up and had educations in China. I moved to Europe for teaching Chinese in 2019 Nov. I am fun, active, very patient, and responsible. I have never come late to all of my classes for more than 10 years. For children's classes I prepare songs, videos, cartoons, teaching and explaining at the same time, They learn really fast and never feel bored when they are excited with a fun teacher and materials. I believe that interest is the best teacher. So I try my best to prepare before classes and send materials after classes to students. The classes can be taught in Chinese, English.

    Kevin
    Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
    I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

    Georgette
    German, English, French and Spanish for beginners, intermediate and advanced students
    I help both for private purposes, business and for school. My lessons are mainly result-oriented. It is my intention to achieve a maximum result in a pleasant way. I have already helped many children, young people and adults. I adapt to the level and the intended result I keep my lessons varied but still challenging. I also really enjoy teaching students. I can teach them the basic knowledge they lack, while also working on the new knowledge they need to acquire. I do my work with passion and 100% motivation. It makes me happy to see that my students are also enjoying their progress, that's why I have a very good relationship with my students.
