English with a Native Speaker! Writing and Conversation, Online or In Person

From 18 £ /h

I am a native English speaker living in Brazil -- I know that learning a language isn't always easy!
This class will be a casual way for you to advance your English skills. My approach is to understand grammar, sentence structure, etc through practicing real, usable skills such as conversation and writing.

I have teaching experience in Brazil's public university system, where I taught students of every level -- from the verb "to be", to having discussions on current events. My teaching is adaptable to your experience and your abilities.

Hi there! My name is Quinn K., and I am a TEFL-certified professional English/Foreign language teacher with a passion for a multitude of languages. I have taught English all over the pacific rim, in Vietnam, Korea and Japan, both at professional English-teaching schools and with private tutoring. I have also tutored English for several years in Portland, Oregon.

In Vietnam I privately tutored a wide variety of age groups in English, ranging from Kindergarten to college-aged students. I tutored younger age groups in English Vocabulary and Conversation skills, and college students for IELTS/TOEFL prep and general professional English. In Seoul, South Korea I worked at a school for North Korean refugees, teaching conversational English to large classes. In Japan, I worked at an after-school program teaching English to middle school students, employing ESL games and structured lessons for students. Through these various English-teaching endeavors, I believe I have a strong skill-set for teaching English to all age groups, and in the full range of contexts (Conversational-to business English). Once returning to the United States, I began one-on-one tutoring sessions for professional and conversational English. In total I have 3 years of professional experience tutoring and teaching English.

In combination with my TEFL certification, which has strengthened the backbone of my lessons in professional English, my qualifications and experiences make me the perfect pick for all of your English tutoring needs :)

I also speak and tutor a wide variety of foreign languages, including French, Spanish, Cantonese, and Korean. I have extensive background in all of these languages (grammar, pronunciation, etc.), and can teach them as fluidly as I can English. I have tutored these languages privately for two years now here in Portland.

I am Ms. Sarah Samman, I teach and provide tutoring in Arabic and English, and I also teach Social Studies, Geography, and History to middle school students. I also teach Math and Science to elementary school students.
My specialization is English, with a minor in education and teaching methods. Being proficient in Arabic, I have been able to give private lessons and provide foundational instruction in Arabic as well. In English, I work with students of all levels up to university level, and I also work with elementary school students who need foundational instruction in the language.
Thank God, all the students who took private lessons with me made a qualitative leap in their school performance and academic achievement.
In addition to teaching Arabic and English, I am also able to teach other subjects such as social studies and science for the primary and preparatory levels, as well as French.
If you are looking for excellence and to explain the curriculum and master it from scratch, you can contact me and I will have a personalized teaching plan for each student to help him reach the stage of academic excellence.

I've always taught (since I was 22), and it's my soul's passion.
During our lessons we will talk a lot! But also study the basis of the language: grammar, vocabulary, reading and a bit of homework.

I train students for the C2 level (Cambridge, IELTS, TOEFL and others).

Something that truly moves me is when a student takes an international trip and tells me they understood what was being said there and were able to communicate well. That warms my heart.
Or when a student tells me they achieved the necessary grade to study abroad. That's my reason for living.
And I'm a committed traveler – 52 countries and counting.
