Certified English Teacher (all ages and levels welcome), Native Speaker

From 28.56 £ /h

Hello, my name is Virginia and I am a TEFL certified English Second Language teacher. All ages and levels are completely welcome in my classes. The latest educational research shows that communicative learning (lessons 100% in target language) is the most effective way to learn a second or foreign language. Therefore, our classes will be completely in English to help you learn better, faster, and become a more confident English user. I offer highly personalized lessons to all of my students. Thus, the lessons are student-led—your interests, needs, and goals will help determine the content and style of our lessons. You may request to focus on a specific skill (e.g. grammar, speaking, reading/writing, content specific vocabulary, etc.) or we can focus on every skill. Whether you simply need a native speaker to check your work, get some conversation practice, improve your communication skills, or even start learning English from the very beginning, I am happy to help.

Bachelor's of Arts (licence) in English and Technical Theatre from St. Mary's College of California

I am 26 years old and offer support for Spanish and English courses and exams up to the baccalaureate level.

After a scientific baccalaureate (with honors), I worked in Spain and England (C1 level) then for 9 months in Chile, I am now employed.

It will be a question of establishing what the pupil wishes to learn and / or improve and then to do exercises in relation to his interests which will allow him to become autonomous.

Are you looking for a qualified English teacher from England? You have the possibility to improve your English while being supervised by your teacher. You can work on your grammar, writing, speaking and pronunciation. Are you desperate to pass your exams, prepare yourself for an interview or correct an essay? Or do you want to go to an English school or follow an English programme? The teacher is open to your requests.
Maybe you want to share your English lesson with some of your friends? It is possible to form a group at a reduced price, tell me with whom you would like to form a group. ;-) If not, the lessons are also individualised (private).

All levels are welcome (beginners to university students)! The teacher will be happy to receive you. Lessons can also be delivered online, students even learn better when lessons are given via Skype (the teacher takes notes for you online), technology is so cool! :-)

Do you have a question? Don't worry, the teacher will be happy to answer you. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Good morning! Buenas dias!
Delighted Michaël, teacher on the internet for more than two years. I would like to offer you a fun interaction that complements the school method. I have traveled around the globe which has led me to speak several languages and also to work in particular in England, Australia, Spain or the Dominican Republic.
Basically I start the lessons by talking with my students about a bit of everything (in order to enrich the vocabulary). Depending on the level I adapt with files that are sent during the course. I also use the Callan method which works on repetition in order to properly assimilate useful words and phrases.
All in a positive way :)
Tell me your availability if you're interested for a first lesson. At worst it will have made you practice, at best you improve!
Regards

I am a student who lived abroad during my youth. I was lucky enough to be able to improve my level of English, which I would like to pass on to others.
I have now mastered this language for about 10 years, so I am starting to teach it to others.

My English lessons are for all levels and my style is relaxed - I will adapt to you!

I have lived in several American cities (San Francisco, San Diego, Washington DC, New York) and I will be happy to talk to you about American culture. Cinema, music, politics, differences between the French and American models, comparisons between the West Coast and the East Coast... let's talk about what interests you!

I know that what helped me most in my learning English was making English-speaking friends. My priority is that you talk to me about yourself while having fun to the point of forgetting that it's in English! Let's have fun above all. :)

I use fun and creative methods to make English lessons varied and motivating, combining written, oral, and reading. I encourage active participation from my students, adapting topics to their interests and learning pace. My experience in middle schools in England and with young children allows me to manage different levels with personalized teaching.
For reluctant students, I incorporate games to encourage participation. I can also follow the curriculum of students in school and help them with their homework by making lessons interesting and fun. For very young children, I adapt activities through gentle immersion through games, stories, and vocabulary related to their interests. Finally, I focus on specific objectives such as tests or exams. My goal is to make learning enjoyable, effective, and tailored to each individual.
