I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

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 !!

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

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 teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

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 over 15 years, I have been helping students and professionals move from understanding English to speaking English with ease, naturalness and confidence.

You understand English... but you struggle with speaking it? That's normal — the problem often comes from the method, not from you.

With a clear and structured approach combined with real-world practice, you progress quickly and finally use English in concrete situations.

▸ MY APPROACH
I combine structured grammar and real conversation so you can speak, think, and react directly in English. You no longer have to choose between understanding and speaking—you do both.

▸ TWO TYPES OF STUDENTS
I primarily work with two types of clients:

• Structured progression
You build a solid foundation (grammar, vocabulary, structure) for work, studies or everyday life.

• Fluidity and ease
You already have a certain level but you want to speak more naturally, gain confidence and be comfortable in real-life situations.

For example: interviews, meetings, presentations, exchanges with international teams.

▸ PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH
With a background in American business school and experience in a professional environment, I help you communicate effectively in English in real-life contexts.

▸ OBJECTIVE
Speak with confidence, fluency, and precision.

If you are serious about your progress and want concrete results, let's begin.

I am convinced that one of the most effective ways to learn a language is to start speaking it; hence, we will definitely have an "English only" policy in our classes. Don’t worry though! I will make sure that you are comfortable and always heard. We’ll focus heavily on speaking so you can freely talk about your everyday life, communicate with strangers while traveling, and even spill the tea with me without overthinking your grammar.

There are no specific textbooks, but separate lessons on different topics that include grammar, vocabulary, rules, and also movies, songs, TV series, and games, so you can grasp the language in various ways.

Working on your mistakes, focusing specifically on the topics that matter to you, boosting your conversational skills, or preparing for exams are all considered and integrated into the lessons. I am looking forward to having you in my classes!

So, shall we start? :)

Greetings! My name is Anne, and I love working with people from different countries, backgrounds, and age groups.

I am a native English speaker (with a neutral North American accent) who has had the privilege of living in 5 different countries so far. I am proficient in American, Canadian, and British English—I can teach one style or a mix of all three! This includes differences in pronunciation, conversational English (sentence structure and common phrases), grammar, spelling, and academic/professional communication. I also help students understand cultural nuances, including the fine art of mastering direct versus indirect communication.

I have also dabbled in a bit of Aussie slang during my time in Australia—which may not always be practical, but is heaps fun to know if you are keen (that was very Aussie English there)!

My specialty is helping learners develop an English accent that is clear and easily understood worldwide (avoiding thick, muffled, or fast accents).

I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from one of the top business schools in Canada and have been working in the non-profit sector since graduating. Therefore, I am also able to help you improve your professional communication skills, including speaking, writing, interviewing, etiquette, body language, and understanding the nuances of different business settings.

Having had the privilege of working with people from approximately 45% of the world’s nationalities thus far, I am very familiar with differences in culture around the world, and how to navigate transitioning between them smoothly (aka code switching)!

My first business was a home tutoring service that I started in high school, teaching English and Math. I have lots of experience working with children, youth, and young adults from around the world, and am friendly, caring, patient, and encouraging in my teaching approach.

My lessons are tailored to your specific needs and goals, and my 'starter‐finisher' personality will help you reach them—at your own pace! They are practical (drawing on real-world experience), interactive, engaging, and, most importantly, fun! I will not give up on you (no matter where you are starting from) because I deeply enjoy helping people build confidence—not just in English, but in themselves.

I look forward to meeting you!

I offer online lessons in French, English, and history/geography, tailored to all levels (from primary to university). Thanks to my experience, I can quickly identify your needs and discuss them with you to create targeted and truly effective sessions.

A typical hour-long lesson is structured and dynamic: we begin with a brief discussion to identify your specific challenges, then we work together on essential concepts with clear and accessible explanations. You then practice according to your needs (exercises, writing, speaking in English), with immediate feedback to ensure effective progress. The session concludes with a simple review and personalized advice to help you continue moving forward.

All this in a serious, caring and motivating environment, to help you in the best way possible.

Hello everyone,
My name is Phillip. I am an experienced, native bilingual (USA/Switzerland) English teacher. Today, I am pleased to guide you in your learning from my office located in the wild and inspiring setting of western Ireland.

With many years of experience as a private tutor, I work with students from all backgrounds. However, over time, I have developed an approach that is particularly appreciated by seniors and retirees. Why? Because I am convinced that learning a language at this stage of life should first and foremost be a shared pleasure, a window onto the world, and a wonderful way to keep the mind sharp and curious.
My approach: Trust and kindness above all

Many of us have somewhat rigid memories of school learning. With me, forget the stress of mistakes or tedious grammar. My primary goal is to restore your confidence. We progress at your pace, with a gentle, patient, and personalized teaching approach. Whether you're starting from scratch or simply want to refresh your old school memories, I adapt completely to your needs.

What we can explore together:
- Travel English: So that your next trip abroad is synonymous with serenity (getting around, ordering in restaurants, communicating with locals without apprehension).

-Maintaining family ties: Ideal if you have bilingual grandchildren or grandchildren living abroad and you want to share more with them.

-Conversation & Culture: Discuss current events, literature, history or life in Ireland, while enjoying my clear and easy-to-understand native accent.

-Brain gymnastics: Using English as a fun and stimulating tool to maintain memory and cognitive plasticity.

Why choose me?
As a dual American and Swiss national living in Ireland, I bring a unique cultural richness to your life. I have a mastery of all the nuances of the English language, but I also have a perfect understanding of French culture and structure.

Practical and technological aspects:

We'll work together via Zoom or Google Meet, very simple and reliable tools. If you're worried about the technology, don't be: I'll guide you step by step during our first session so you feel completely comfortable on screen. It's much simpler than it seems!

Join me for a friendly and engaging experience, blending Swiss rigor, American optimism, and the legendary warmth of Ireland. Let's transform your English practice into a truly enriching human adventure.
Nice to meet you,

Phillip
