Hello, arrived from USA ten years ago, I am 38 years old and have a Masters 2 in Communication from San Jose State University, California, USA.

My teaching style focuses on speaking, reading, listening and understanding as well as grammar. I will not only teach you classes; I will listen to you, speak with you to assess your level, know your needs and goals. My goal is really to help you as much as possible.

I teach English, TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS. For the higher levels, adult education, A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, other vocational training, primary, middle school, second, first, final, BTS. Practical lessons to master the spoken word. English courses for all levels (beginners, intermediate, advanced).

Hello my name is David and I am a 38 year old sports coach from California. I have more than 10 years of experience as a sports coach with my clients helping them achieve their goals; weight loss, muscle toning, improved flexibility and better health.

Before coming to France ten years ago, I had several certifications and had my own business as a personal trainer.

I have experience of working with individuals or groups if you have friends who wish to join you.

I am always positive with my clients but also expect them to put in effort both during workouts and also with their nutrition when I am not around.

I am a former college athlete, former natural bodybuilder. Most of the exercises I do now consist of bodyweight exercises and running, but I can train you with any equipment you like.

I have experience of all ages from 14 to 90 years old, both men and women. If you are ready to make positive changes in your lifestyle and physical activity, please do not hesitate to contact me.

currently in the second year of khagne (preparatory classes for high schools, I seek to help any pupil student and high school student in need of support or the desire to progress in these subjects.Becialized in English and studying Spanish in khagne, I I therefore propose to give courses of English of Spanish adapting to the needs and the envy of the pupil, although it seems to me essential to attend on the oral aspect of language while working on audio- I would also give grammar exercises and vocabulary to learn for the next class.
Having passed a baccalaureat L with honors and still studying philosophy, I also propose to give courses in this subject, based on written and audio-visual media allowing a diversified approach to the subject. The homework will consist mainly of subjects to work at home.

Courses based primarily on the practice of oral, written, and written and oral comprehension while being based on courses in grammar, conjugation, vocabulary and civilization. Fun, playful exercises.
My goal is to advance the student without overburdening him, I will give some homework to do for the next class every time (except exceptions), I want to share my passion for this language above all and find an interesting angle for the student will be my main task.
Of course, I can adapt according to the needs and the demand of the student.
If you do not speak English at all, no problem, my classes will be an initiation at first seeing the basics. I teach at level A1 (6th) to C1 (Terminal).

Course access on grammar and oral comprehension, the objective is to improve the level of the student but also to prepare it for the future term such as the patent and the bac.

At the level of the methodology, all the courses are divided in two parts a first access on a topic of grammar and a second on an oral comprehension, which makes it possible to work the pronunciation.

Hello Students! My name is Ciara. I am a native speaker from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. I have a Bachelor's degree in French and Psychology from Pennsylvania State University. I have experience in tutoring children and adults both one-on-one and in small groups. I am currently an English Language Assistant at two elementary schools in Tours, France.

I can provide tutoring to children, teenagers, and adults. I am happy to help with English speaking, pronunciation, reading, listening, writing and grammar. My goal is to create a positive language learning environment for the students that I tutor. I can tailor the tutoring to the needs, age and language ability of the student.

During the first session, we can discuss the student's goals and what he or she would like to focus on and improve. I can either provide learning tools or offer assistance with English homework that the student has received from his or her teacher at school. I am very flexible and can adapt to the needs of each student.

I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. I look forward to hearing from you and please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.

I give English lessons for students with difficulty in this subject, who wish to progress or simply for those who wish to learn this language.

We will see together the written word (spelling, grammar, syntax etc.) but also a lot of oral since it is a living language and is therefore spoken.

The course will be carried out according to the level and pace of the student (there is no point in rushing things), I will take into account the difficulties of each so that the course goes well and that it is not a chore but we learn together for fun.

I'm a native English speaker, having grown up and gone to school in England for the majority of my life. Currently I am at flight school in Tours to become an airline pilot, in my free time I would love to help you improve your English speaking!

Learning English and all of its grammar in a classroom is one thing, but the best way to improve and gain confidence is through practice, and more specifically, speaking! I will help you improve your pronunciation and your speaking skills, primarily through discussions and conversations, but also through other proactive exercises.

If you have any questions or would like to prepare for something specific; such as a speaking exam or a presentation, please do contact me!

I offer courses for all ages and levels, online, at home or in person in a friendly place.

Discussions, exchanges, homework help and exam preparation, personalized courses based on your profile and your needs, phonetics and accent work, school program monitoring, preparation for competitive exams, university monitoring, etc.

My mission is to help you develop and deepen your knowledge, by giving you the keys necessary to achieve autonomy and success. I offer you a "fun", playful and uninhibited approach in order to better assimilate the information, while remaining in a serious framework adapted to your uniqueness.

I am passionate and dedicated to sharing all of my experience and knowledge with you.

My teaching method is resolutely modern. Classes are a sharing and human moment, where mistakes serve as a positive experience for moving forward. My teaching methods are based on the latest neuroscience studies in order to optimize learning and better assimilate knowledge.
