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.

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 :)

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.

Frustrated with studying Spanish and feeling like you're not making progress? It's time to speak with confidence!
Most people study endless lists of grammar and vocabulary, but when push comes to shove, they freeze up and can't hold a real conversation. Sounds familiar, right?

My classes are designed to break through that barrier. I have specialized training in teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE), and as a multilingual speaker, I know exactly the shortcuts and techniques that accelerate learning. You won't memorize the language; you'll understand it, use it, and speak it.

Why does this course work where others fail?
You speak from minute one: Here, you are the protagonist. 80% of the class is focused on you expressing yourself, applying what you've learned, and gaining real fluency.

Logical, not boring grammar: I teach you grammar through everyday use and practical examples. You'll understand the "why" of things without having to memorize abstract rules.

A method tailored to your mind: As a polyglot, I know how the brain processes a new language. I use techniques that will help you think in Spanish, reducing mental translation time.

Materials that interest you: Forget outdated textbooks. We'll use current articles, real-life everyday situations, and interactive resources made just for you.

What are you going to achieve with me?
Beginners: Overcome your fear, build your first sentences with complete confidence, and master everyday situations.

Intermediate/Advanced: Eliminate those repetitive mistakes that hinder your fluency, perfect your pronunciation, and expand your vocabulary to sound natural and sophisticated.

Conversational Spanish: Debate, give opinions and gain the mental agility needed to speak with native speakers without hesitation.

Your goal is my goal
Whether you're looking to learn for personal growth, independent travel, or professional goals, we'll design a straightforward action plan that optimizes your time and focuses only on what you need to progress quickly.

Weekly spaces are limited. Click to book your first lesson today and let's speak Spanish from day one!

As someone who has been learning German since the age of 12, I understand how challenging and sometimes intimidating it can be to learn another language. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students improve their English skills, but also to create a supportive and open learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and having fun along the way.

I focus on making English feel natural, approachable, and enjoyable, with lessons adapted to each student’s interests, pace, and learning style.
