About Me

I ‘m an adult educator with a Bachelor of Education Degree (Adult Education) from the National University of Lesotho. I completed my TEFL Certificate and I feel confident to teach English communicative skills to both young learners and adults.
Learning changes life and my BEd (Adult Education) has empowered me to apply experiential teaching methods to meet the learners’ needs. My course included the following:
• Adult Literacy Teaching Method
• English Language Practice

• Mass Communication in Adult Education
• Curriculum Design & Development in Adult Education

TEFL /ESL Tutor. BEd, Dip. Business Studies, Cert. Personnel Management

10.06 £ /h

My name is Theresa, I was born in Lesotho. Lesotho is located within the Republic of South Africa.
I ‘m an adult educator with a Bachelor of Education Degree (Adult Education) from the National University of Lesotho. I also am a holder of 120 Hour TEFL Certificate. I have a Diploma in Business Studies and the Certificate in Personnel Management.
The philosophy of learning is that education changes life. My Bachelor of Education Degree program has empowered me to apply experiential teaching methods because learning has a positive impact only if it is relevant to the learner’s needs. My degree in Bachelor of Education (Adult Education) includes the following:
• Adult Literacy Teaching Methods
• English Language Practice
• Adult Education and Development
• Mass Communication in Adult Education
• Curriculum Design & Development in Adult Education
• Psychology of Adult Learning
• Sociology of Adult Education
• Practicum in Adult Education Seminars and Conferences.
I have a neutral British accent (Lesotho was a British Colony) and my voice is easy to understand. The 120 Hour TEFL course emphasized the need to note and be sensitive to different cultures and their native languages challenges with regard to learning English language vocabulary and pronunciation. This course has therefore empowered me to readily tutor international students of all ages.
My experience in facilitation of workshops on behavioral change communication strategy against HIV and AIDS enabled me to design goals-focused lessons. I can provide conversational lessons which includes tutoring grammar, vocabulary, and all four English language skills. My learner-centered teaching approach enables learners to be confident in formal and informal English language proficiency.
My hobbies are reading and listening to personal empowerment books and video. Over the years I upgraded my counseling skill on psychology subject, strategic management and project management. I am also learning lyrics poems writing.

English Language Introduction Lesson: Free Interview for Determining Adult English Learners' Level

10.06 £ /h

Learners are classified in various levels; the starting level being beginners. The first class is meant to assess each student and assist to establish or confirm the expressed English language lessons goal. This session will enable me to know the learner's environment with regard to possible practice of English language at home. It is a basis on which I could design suitable lessons to be communicated as course outline to provide a clear learning map towards the learner's goal.
Lesson 1 will confirm the level at which the learner has been placed. This means there will be upgrading of the learning material and confirmation of necessary teaching or tutoring techniques and strategies. The use of existential teaching approach emphases eliciting all English learning skills as critical to motivate learners to fully participation and stay engaged throughout the lesson. It is very important to create conducive learning environment and build teacher-learner trust. As an adult educator, I regard this principle as a foundation for continued learning at all levels.

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.

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!

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 !!

For adults, I offer online "Free Talk" classes. These classes are very popular and are ok for any age. I currently have a group class of people aged 60s to 80s. If you want to talk about daily life, news, hobbies, traveling, etc. and enjoy speaking English, then this is a good class to do it. Usually a 1-hour class is best as it gives plenty of time. If a shorter, or longer, class is better for you I can do that too. Just ask :)
