Improving your English taking fun and interesting lessons
My name is Raluca, I am a certified ESL teacher from Canada with 6 years of experience working both in the classroom and online. I've been teaching students of all ages and levels, from beginning to advanced. I taught English in Turkey, Spain, and Romania. Since September 2014, I have been living and working in Italy.
In my lessons, you won’t memorize long lists of vocabulary and verbs.
Instead, you and I will discuss interesting topics and practice language which you actually want to use.
Moreover, I have experience preparing students for Cambridge exams from KET up to C1 and helping students with professional needs such as presentations and technical vocabulary thanks to my Master's Degree in Geology and Geophysics and work experience in the oil and gas industry.
I have an excellent track record in improving students’ fluency and confidence in using English in real-life situations.
I guarantee that after one of my lessons, you will already feel more comfortable speaking in English.
For these reasons, I hope to see you in the classroom.

English conversation classes for adults and teens by an American living in IrelandThis English conversation and grammar course is designed for adults and teenagers. My main goal is to help you progress in this language at your own pace. Whether it is to acquire the basics of English, improve your language skills with a view to traveling, moving to an English-speaking country, or for your professional development, I adapt to your specific needs and objectives.
I am bilingual in English and French, with Irish-American heritage, and have dedicated the last twenty years to providing academic support, whether for children aged 4 and up or seniors over 85 years ! It's never too late to improve your language skills.
As an experienced entrepreneur for many years, I also have training in education and socio-cultural activities. My educational approach is based on adaptability and personalization, in order to offer you an optimal learning experience.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss your language needs and specific goals. I look forward to helping you achieve your English aspirations!
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.

Spanish & English Lessons with Erika in Belgium :)Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children.
