I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

As a Ukrainian teacher for foreigners with varying language proficiency levels, I hold a unique and pivotal role in the realm of education.
I am in touch with my students almost all the time. We are not only practicing grammar and vocabulary, but we are also experiencing a love of Ukrainian culture together. There is no place for constant boring theory and mindless rote memorization. My values are trust, understanding and love.

My dedication to imparting the Ukrainian language to a diverse group of learners has shaped an identity, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences, skills, and qualities that make an invaluable asset in the field of education.

I love seeing and participating in my students' interest in the Ukrainian language. What warms my heart the most is their curiosity about every detail and exception. Especially when they want to look for new things for themselves and then tell me about what they have found with a twinkle in their eye.

Hi! I’m Thảo, a Vietnamese tutor based in Hanoi, Vietnam, with over 20 years of professional experience and a background in communication and journalism.

I help learners speak Vietnamese clearly, improve their pronunciation, and understand how the language is actually used in real-life situations.

Many learners struggle not because of vocabulary, but because they don’t fully understand pronunciation, context, and cultural meaning.

With over 20 years of professional experience, I know how to communicate clearly and explain complex ideas in a simple, structured way.

In my lessons, I focus on:

• improving your pronunciation step by step

• helping you understand how and why Vietnamese is used in different situations

• building your confidence in real conversations

I carefully correct your mistakes and guide you step by step, so you can improve your accuracy and speak more naturally.

I adapt each lesson to your needs and learning style, so you can learn in a way that works best for you.

Learning Vietnamese can feel confusing at first, especially when you don’t understand how the language works in real life.

This class is designed for students who would like support with school English, entrance exams (up to university level), grammar, writing, and overall confidence using the language. Lessons are personalised based on each student’s level, goals, strengths and areas they would like to improve.

I can help with homework, grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, speaking, writing, exam preparation and improving overall performance in English at school. Lessons are suitable for students preparing for school exams, entrance exams, oral exams, or general English tests.

Having completed both IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in an international school fully taught in English, I understand the challenges students often face when learning and using academic English in a school environment. I especially enjoy helping students not only improve their grades, but also become more confident and comfortable expressing themselves naturally in English.

Lessons are supportive, engaging, and adapted individually to each student. Depending on the student’s needs, classes can focus more on grammar and structure, speaking practice, exam preparation, academic writing, or developing stronger communication skills overall.
