English for adults, Psychology, Education, Global learning

From 26 £ /h

Speaking English fluently and accurately is one of the key components of global communication. So my approach to teaching English is through communication and human relations. Understanding what a person wants and needs is of primary importance.
I follow life-long learning path myself and always learn new skills inspiring my students to do the same (according to their preferences and values)
Learning English as a foreign language gives a lot of energy and interest in a variety of spheres provoking every person develop and grow throughout their life.

So in my classes I use different Student books (depending on your level) together with fiction/non-fiction/films/podcasts and other eats materials depending on your interests, as I strongly believe that learning process is an individual path and each of us has unique points which motivate and bring the best result.

About Me

Hi everyone,
I'm Maria and want to offer you exciting and lively classes of learning English as a foreign language.
I have a Degree in Linguistics as well as CELTA - Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (that means that I am a certified Teacher of English to those for who this language isn't their mother tongue).

In the recent years I tend to have a lot of students who aim to prepare for exams such as IELTS and FCE, who pass and go abroad for multiple reasons - migration, work and study.

I love teaching. Communication with people from around the world is a perfect opportunity for personal and human development. In my work I mainly use Cambridge books for learning English as I have strong methodological basis and can apply different approaches depending on your aim, deadlines and preferences.

My second degree in Psychology (Counseling, Clinical Psychology) and I have private practice as an art-therapist and existential counselor. My opinion is that psychological knowledge is crucial if you work with people. I respect my students' privacy as well as their opinion, religion and gender.

I really want to be useful in achieving your language goals. So give me a message and we can move together in the chosen direction.

Soon I'm going to relocate to Montenegro that's why I'm in search for new students)

Psychological Counseling & Art-therapy to help you cope with life difficulties

35 £ /h

I'm an art-therapist and offer sessions which can help you better understand yourself through Art (it might be either creating a drawing, collage, clay sculpture or using well-known pieces of Art and using them as a starting point in the session).

How session is organized?

We start with a small talk about your request or problem area that worries you and then I offer to represent artistically the key point of your problem or question. I know a huge variety of techniques as well I have over 500 hours of practice only in art-therapy. Mind that sometimes you need more than 1 session to work out the problem.

As a professional I have my personal art-therapeutic sessions, regular intervisions with colleagues and supervisions with my supervisor (she is from the UK).

You don't need to be a professional artist to try Art-therapy. It's a creative process of getting to unconscious levels of your Self. If you have artistic skills, therapy can help find your way and route in your field as well as better understand yourself as an Artist.

When I say that I'm an art-therapist I mean that I use a variety of tools from different expressive Arts such as bibliotherapy (reading books), museum therapy, music therapy, etc.

I give homework which is optional but highly recommended and it can help you feel closer with your emotions and bring inner peace and balance.

I have a Dergree in Psychological Counseling and Clinical Psychology. Have private practice and plan to relocate to Europe. As part of my plan I want to become a member of European Federation of Art-therapy (EFAT). Currently I'm a foreign member of American Art-therapy Association (AATA)

Feel free to contact me as I work as a clinical psychologist with cases of anxiety, depression or personal disorders. As a professional I don't state any mental diagnose or prescribe medicine but I do work as a supporting specialist with people who have mental disorders using integrative approach: CBT, existential psychology, buddhist psychology and art-therapy.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

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.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

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 teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

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.

Preparation for TCF Canada, DEFL and DAFL for all levels.

Methodology :
- Initial assessment: For each support I will carry out a diagnostic assessment to identify the student's strengths and weaknesses in the subject concerned (mathematics, French, science, etc.).
- Personalized approach: Courses are adapted to the student's level, with individualized monitoring. This includes practical exercises, targeted revisions, and explanations adapted to each learning pace.
- Progressive objectives: we set short and long-term objectives together to motivate the student and measure their progress.
- Learning techniques: I use interactive methods (online exercises, educational games) and revision sheets to help memorize and understand key concepts (flashcards, etc.)

Typical sessions:
- Course of the sessions:
- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to introduce and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.
- Questions and corrections: 10-15 minutes at the end to answer the student's questions and correct mistakes together.
- Regular monitoring: I plan regular assessments to adjust the learning method and adapt the pace of the lessons.

My teaching approach focuses on making English learning engaging, interactive, and personalised to each student's needs. I believe that the best way to improve a language is through consistent practice, real-life conversations, and building confidence in communication rather than simply memorising grammar rules.

My Teaching Methods

I use a combination of conversational practice, grammar exercises, vocabulary development, pronunciation improvement, and interactive activities. My goal is to create a comfortable learning environment where students feel confident speaking English, asking questions, and learning from their mistakes.

What a Typical Lesson Looks Like

Each lesson begins with a short conversation to practise speaking and review previous topics. We then focus on a specific area of improvement, such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, or academic English. Lessons include practical exercises, discussions, and personalised feedback to help students recognise their strengths and areas for improvement.

What Makes My Lessons Different

As a university student studying Business Management with Business Analytics at Lancaster University Leipzig, I understand the importance of effective English communication in academic, professional, and everyday situations. Having studied in an English-speaking educational environment, I aim to make lessons practical, enjoyable, and relevant to real-life experiences.

Who Are My Lessons For?

My lessons are suitable for secondary school students, university students, and adults with a basic to advanced understanding of English (A2–C1). Whether you're preparing for school exams, improving your academic writing, developing professional communication skills, or simply looking to become more fluent and confident, I will adapt the lessons to your individual learning goals.

All lessons are conducted entirely in English to encourage immersion and help students develop natural communication skills.
