With a university degree in German language and literature (Master of Arts in German with a specialization in medieval languages and literature) and solid experience, I offer private German lessons for all levels and all age groups.
My courses are designed to be adapted to the age, level and specific needs of each individual. They aim to introduce the language, consolidate concepts, fill gaps, and prepare for exams (ECR 8P, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams for gymnasiums, maturity and university exams, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2).

Specifics for academic support:

Since this is primarily a long-term endeavor, I emphasize methodology by taking the time to "learn how to learn" effectively: every exercise is explained in detail, which may make its execution slower. Quality takes precedence over quantity in order to achieve optimal results over time.
Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, textbooks, tablets and/or computers, dictionaries, assessments...).
Another important point: in order for my help to be beneficial, it is necessary that the student provides regular personal work between lessons. This essentially involves rereading your notes, repeating exercises similar to those carried out together or even moving forward in learning vocabulary.

Specifics for conversation classes:

The topics are based on interests and/or specific needs for exam preparation. I attach particular importance to pronunciation, fluency and vocabulary. I usually correct at the end of a conversation exercise with detailed feedback, in order to avoid any blockages and to work on fluency. Depending on the level of the students and/or their expectations (exam preparations/assessments/desire for improvement for example), I work on the choice of appropriate words, grammatical accuracy, the ability to formulate more or less complex sentences.

Specifics for exam preparation:

The courses offer to acquire solid tools to learn to write, to comment on literary texts and a methodology to work on oral comprehension. The student must bring their own exam preparation brochure, available in all bookstores. For Goethe Institute model exams, the exam books from Cornlesen are particularly suitable. The other alternative would be to download and print before the start of the course a copy of the Goethe Institute exam available on the institute's website.

Specifics for listening comprehension:

I primarily use audiovisual materials downloaded from the Deutsche Welle website, which offers a variety of recordings suitable for all levels, with a very practical approach. Over time, students not only gain fluency in listening comprehension but also enrich their basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work with the Goethe-Institut's oral tests to familiarize them with spoken language.

Specifics for written expression work:

I begin by explaining in the first lesson some methodological tools to acquire writing skills. The student has the opportunity to start writing during the course or do a writing exercise on duty and give it to me to correct (send by email or at the beginning of the next lesson). The corrections are explained in detail. In addition, at the time of booking, the student can send me a draft copy before the lesson so that I can meet his needs even more quickly.

Besides my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after, particularly for the assignments I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the necessary time to write detailed comments in my corrections or offer advice to maximize each student's success.
In addition, each student can contact me at any time outside of class by email if necessary.

Feel free to contact me for more information, and I look forward to supporting you in your learning. 😊

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

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.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Why does learning a foreign language seem so difficult?

Often, it's not a question of talent, but of method. With concrete support tailored to your goals, speaking with ease and confidence becomes possible, and faster than you think.

My name is Rubén and I have two years of experience in private tutoring, during which I helped each student achieve specific goals. I have taught English to a child and helped a German student pass his Spanish exams, in addition to numerous other tutoring activities in Spain.

I have studied and worked in all the languages I speak and teach: Spanish, my native language, English at C1 level, German at B2 level and French at B2 level. I therefore know from the inside the difficulties one encounters when learning a language, and the tips for overcoming them.

I was able to put my method to the test both in exams and in the professional world, combining daily oral practice with preparation for official certifications.

My German lessons are tailored to your individual goals and language level, with a particular focus on intermediate and advanced learners. If you already speak some German and want to become more fluent, express yourself more naturally, or gain confidence in real-life conversations, I'd be happy to help you take the next step.

**Conversation Practice & Preparation**
We can discuss a wide range of topics to help you speak more fluently, expand your vocabulary, and express yourself more naturally. If you have a specific topic in mind, we can discuss it in advance so I can prepare useful vocabulary and expressions to help you navigate the conversation more confidently.

This also applies to specific goals, such as preparing for a job interview, a presentation, or another important conversation. I'll help you familiarize yourself with relevant words and phrases so you can focus on expressing your ideas clearly and naturally.

**Writing & Text Correction**
I can help you correct and improve your German texts, explain your mistakes, and suggest more natural ways to express your ideas. This is a great way to deepen your understanding of the language and refine your written German.

**Personalized Lessons**
Do you have a specific goal in mind? We can practice job interviews, prepare presentations, work on pronunciation, or focus on any other aspect of German you'd like to improve. Beginners are also welcome, and we can adapt the lessons to your starting level.

**Learning Materials**
If you have a preferred textbook or other learning materials you'd like to use, we can discuss them together, and I can acquire suitable materials by arrangement.

My teaching approach combines encouragement with honest, constructive feedback. I'll help you recognize your progress while making sure you understand your mistakes and learn from them. Together, we'll focus on the areas that matter most to you and work towards using German with greater confidence and precision.

I know that some students think some subject in school is so hard to understand, sometime it feels like the teacher is not talking the same language, very hard to understand. I'm used to be like that but then when I understand how to translate that into my own thinking, my own language. It helps me understand things in my own way and makes everything feel easier.
I want to help anyone who has that challenge, especially in subjects such as math, economics, logistics, and calculations. So if you want to more, feel free to have a chat! Always nice to talk :)

Я преподаю английский русскоговорящим ученикам.

Я носитель русского языка, уже более 12 лет живу в Англии и окончила британский университет. Мой уровень английского близок к уровню носителя. Поскольку я сама выучила английский как иностранный, я хорошо понимаю, с какими трудностями сталкиваются русскоговорящие ученики, и умею объяснять сложные моменты простым и понятным языком.

На занятиях мы уделяем основное внимание разговорной практике, чтобы вы могли не просто знать правила, а уверенно общаться на английском в реальных ситуациях. Грамматику и произношение разбираем по мере необходимости, на понятных примерах, уделяя основное внимание живому общению.

Если вы начинаете с нуля, мы постепенно освоим основы грамматики, поставим произношение и разберём фразы, необходимые для повседневного общения. Если у вас уже есть база, будем работать над беглостью речи, расширять словарный запас и учиться свободнее выражать свои мысли. При необходимости подготовимся к собеседованию, презентации или общению на английском в профессиональной среде.

Я хорошо знакома с типичными трудностями русскоговорящих учеников: артиклями, системой времён, порядком слов и произношением. Мы будем разбирать ошибки спокойно и конструктивно, чтобы вы понимали не только, как правильно, но и почему.
На уроках мы преимущественно говорим по-английски, а русский используем там, где он помогает быстрее разобраться в теме и двигаться дальше.

Расскажите, для чего вам нужен английский и чего вы хотите достичь. Я помогу выстроить занятия с учётом ваших целей, уровня и индивидуальных потребностей.

Hindi is more than a language; it is a way to understand India, its culture, and its people.

My classes focus on clear communication, strong fundamentals, and practical application. I believe in structured learning, intellectual curiosity, and discipline over rote memorization.

With certifications in HBMSU (Dubai), Early Childhood Education from Reliance Foundation, along with the McKinsey Forward Program, I bring a learner-focused approach to teaching.

The objective is simple: understand the language, use it with confidence, and learn with purpose.
