English Tuition Sessions - Language GCSE/Functional Skills, IB Diploma or A-Level Literature/Language and Literature

From 20.54 £ /h

I’m a qualified English teacher with 10+ years of experience from the UK, who moved to Stockholm last month. I majored in English Literature at university and had a year studying Linguistics alongside this, so I’ve studied and taught a variety of subjects within the broader umbrella of ‘English’. I don’t know Swedish, but for face-to-face lessons I can help students with English homework, with any writing, and offer conversation to improve their speaking.

Over 10 years I’ve taught 14-18 year-olds, and 19+ adults who had English as a second language, so I’ve experience of teaching a wide variety of skill levels and types of students. For online teaching, I can teach UK students for their GCSEs or even A-Levels. I have a lot of experience working with students with Special Educational Needs, so I excel at tailoring learning to meet the needs of students, whatever their academic ability.

I make my lessons interactive and engaging in subject matter, with a strict focus on achieving specific aims based on exam criteria. Language is a skill which needs practice, so all lessons include speaking & listening, reading & writing, with time to reflect, correct and improve being of paramount importance.

Lessons are 1-2 hours, to enable time for assessment, feedback and implementation of feedback.

I will work with any student aged 11+. I can teach with a focus on preparation for a specific exam series, e.g. IB Diploma Literature/Language and Literature; I can help develop a particular skills area such as creative writing or speaking in academic presentations; I can offer help with homework and understanding set texts or quirks of the language; I can even build skills in higher-level punctuation, grammar, editing and proofreading. As shown in my varied career path, I am flexible and will work with students to adapt lesson resources and teaching methods to meet their needs.

About Me

I’m a qualified English teacher with 10+ years of experience from the UK, who moved to Stockholm last month. I majored in English Literature at university and had a year studying Linguistics alongside this, so I've studied and taught a variety of subjects within the broader umbrella of 'English'. I don't know Swedish, but for face-to-face lessons I can help students with English homework, with any writing, & offer conversation to improve their speaking. Over 10 years I’ve taught 14-18 year-olds, and 19+ adults who had English as a second language, so I've experience of teaching a wide variety of skill levels and types of students. For online teaching, I can teach UK students for their GCSEs or even A-Levels. I have a lot of experience working with students with Special Educational Needs, so I excel at tailoring learning to meet the needs of students, whatever their academic ability.

I make my lessons interactive and engaging in subject matter; a lesson that is fun to take part in with interesting subject matter will always result in more focus from students, which in turn will accelerate your learning! My lessons nonetheless have a strict focus on achieving specific aims based on exam or other performance criteria. Language is a skill which needs practice, so all lessons include speaking & listening, reading & writing, with time to reflect, correct and improve being of paramount importance. Lessons are usually 1-2 hours, to enable time for assessment, feedback and implementation of feedback. However, I understand that many students have busy schedules, so we can adapt timings to suit you as necessary.

I am passionate about Language and Literature, as the former gives you the keys to express yourself fully and the latter is a prism that can help you see the world (or even yourself!) with new eyes.

I am committed to education for all students, as not only do I find it personally rewarding to know that I'm helping others, but also I strongly believe that through education we raise understanding and thereby build confidence & agency in young people.

I have high standards for my students, reflected by high standards for myself as a teacher. I know that working together with students to find learning methods which work for them is what makes the difference in the student-teacher relationship, and it's that relationship which is the most critical foundation when building towards success.

Hello,

My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual Spanish classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the Spanish language either to prepare international exams, to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.
I am a native Spanish speaker from Uruguay, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA, and studied communication arts for a year and a half in Thailand.
While studying communication arts, I had several public speaking classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country. These past years I gained invaluable experience in living abroad and communicating using my second language. Now, I help others who are looking to do the same.
I help people of all around the world with their Spanish so they can meet their goals. It could be studying abroad, going to live in a Spanish-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose your previously acquired level.
If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the Spanish language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times. That's why I design my classes individually, focusing more on conversation, speaking, listening, while also helping with reading and grammar. This way we can keep classes entertaining, covering all angles of Spanish learning, and learning this language as a whole.

After a few years of teaching, I have developed my own methods and materials for beginners and advanced students with interactive and fun content.

Hey, I am a Master level student in Sweden willing to share my knowledge in the English language. The class will be arranged depending on your needs, around different topics. Of utmost importance, I consider content consumption in the language you want to learn and the willingness to talk and communicate.

I have experience in acting and public speaking so throughout different exercises together we can remove the mental boundaries which usually prevent people from speaking a new language.

Hello! My name is Abdrahman, from Nigeria. I have studied Arabic language (including reading, writing, listening and speaking skills). I also studied Quran & it's sciences, Tajweed, and other Islamic studies for more than fourteen years.

I have studied Arabic from the International Open University and Arabic Institute.

Currently, I'm also an Undergraduate student of Islamic Studies Education in the University of Lagos, Akoka. I also study under the tutelage of Sheikh Raslān from Egypt.

I am a tutor of modern standard Arabic, classical Arabic (the language of Quran and Hadith) and colloquial Arabic ('āmiyyah).

I love teaching Arabic because it is a very important language of Islam. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said we should love Arabic language because: he is an Arabic, the holy Quran is in Arabic language and the language of the paradise dwellers is Arabic.

I also love teaching Arabic language because it is the fifth most spoken language in the world.

It is the official language of 26 countries including 5 of the wealthiest countries in the world. And it's sixth most spoken language in the world.

Learning such a language will avail you to the discovery of most interesting cultures in today's world. It will also look good in your resume.

With Arabic language, you'll become a polyglot and you will be able to adapt to the environments of Arab. As a Muslim, with Arabic language, you'll have thorough understanding of Quran and Sunnah.

I have been tutoring Arabic and Islamic Studies since 2014 both online and offline till date. I tutor the learners between the ages of 5 - 80.

The focus of my instruction is on all the important skills of the language (reading, writing, listening and speaking), grammar and vocabulary development. With these, you'll be able to intermingle with Arabic speaking people in any Arab environment you find yourself and of course, you'll have yourself prepared and fit for any formal exam.

I am also certified to instruct in the memorization of Quran, the sciences of Quran like different versions of Quranic recitation (riwāyāt), the exegesis of Quran (tafsīr), e.t.c

I have syllabus and materials for tutoring Arabic efficiently within a period of six to twelve months.

I'm well experienced in tutoring with these books:

➡️ I love Arabic

➡️ Lessons in Arabic language

➡️ Nūrul bayān

➡️ Iqrā' qirā'tī

➡️ Qā'idāh Nūrāniyyah

➡️ Qā'idāh Makkiyyah

➡️ Qā'idāh Baghdādiyyah

➡️ Arabic in your hands

➡️ Tuhfatul Atfāl

➡️ Exegesis of Ibn Kathīr e.t.c

I also have experience in teaching English language and Philosophy.

Learning English language helps in developing ideas and communicating them.

I would be glad to be your tutor in this journey, choose me and you will not regret it.

See you in my class!

I have 7 years of teaching experience. I'm a certified Arabic and English teacher. I have TESL and simplified Arabic certification. My teaching method is philosophical, experimental and persuasive. My teaching approach is simple to complex.
