Hi there, I'd like to offer you my knowledge and experience in getting you ready for your English tests. I'm a qualified CELTA tutor and have more than 10 years of experience teaching English in colleges and business places in the UK.

My interactive English test prep sessions provide two benefits. The first, you develop confidence to use my strategies for any given English test to get your desired score. The second benefit and a very important one is, you begin to develop English language skills that you take with you to apply in any field of study or work.

About Me

Teaching English for foreign learners has and always been a part of my career working for colleges, training organisations and businesses. I possess the ability to gain insights into my learners' levels of English proficiency and learning styles. I use this information to plan my lessons. Time, on my sessions is used productively. My learner gets a lot of time to practise language in a way they would use it at school, college or work.

Education

MA in English Literature, Grade A
BA in English Literature and Psychology, Grade A

I continue to take keen interest in the teaching learning process and look to apply relevant principles and models of learning to suit my learners' requirements and circumstances.

A learner-centred approach to learning is one that I most prefer.

Experience / Qualifications

CELTA, Level 5

My experience of teaching English has been in college settings and coaching learners for English exams.

Besides teaching English, I have worked as a qualified assessor for Management and Business Administration Level 5 Diploma courses. I have visited workplaces to deliver corporate training to employees and apprentices. Some of the employers that I worked with are the UK Parliament, Great Ormond Street Hospital, John Lewis and Waitrose.

My name is Gabriel, and I'm a certified English Teacher from South America! I speak both Spanish and English at a native level. I've recently relocated to Tokyo and I'm on an adventure learning about your beautiful country and language. I majored in English and Linguistics, so I have a lot of knowledge about how language acquisition works in our brains! My previous jobs were at a bilingual school and online working with adults, preparing them for exams and teaching them English for future life challenges. In classes, we're going to use games, technology and talk about YOU a lot! Besides, I'm going to share with you very interesting practical tips for passive language acquisition ( for outside the classes). Looking forward to getting in touch with you! :)

Hello, I am Samuel!
I am a university graduate with a passion for languages, currently fluent in French, English, and Spanish. My specialty is English for Business, I can help you improve your language in the workplace and help you study for exams such as the Eiken and TOEIC. Writing essays, emails, and research papers are also part of my portfolio. As a student myself, I can guide you through my methods of teaching and hopefully share my passion for languages. I also accept students who only want to improve their conversation in English or seek assistance in homework. I am happy to adapt to the student's level and needs. I have recently started learning Japanese so I can only accept students with a foundation in English. I hope to be the right teacher for your learning goals!

Hi! I’m Adrien, a native French speaker with a passion for teaching English. Having grown up in France and the UK, I truly understand the challenges of learning a second language. In fact, I had to learn English myself, and that experience has made me even more empathetic and skilled at helping students who may find it difficult at times. I know what it feels like to face language barriers, and I’m here to help you break through them!

I graduated from the London School of Economics (LSE), where I studied law and economics, and through my academic journey, I developed a deep appreciation for the power of effective communication. Over the years, I’ve taught English to students of all levels, and I always make sure my lessons are engaging, personalized, and focused on your unique needs.

✨ What you’ll learn in my lessons:
✔️ Fun and easy grammar and vocabulary to help you communicate confidently.
✔️ Speaking practice to boost your confidence and hold real conversations.
✔️ Pronunciation to sound clearer and more natural when you speak.
✔️ Creative writing skills – from emails to short stories!
✔️ Listening and understanding what you hear in movies, songs, and conversations.
✔️ Fun activities to improve your reading and comprehension skills.

With 6 years of experience teaching English to students of all ages and levels, I’m passionate about making each lesson engaging and tailored to your needs!

Howdy! That's a Texan greeting. I really enjoy socializing with students and helping them become more effective and confident communicators in English. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

I believe in teaching mostly through discussing, reading, and writing about the things my students are interested in. I provide explanations and corrections first in English, and I only use Japanese translation or grammar explanations when necessary. My lesson fees listed here could change depending on location, time of day, type of lesson, your goals, homework, etc.
