About Me
Hi! I'm James, and I'm a current third-year English student at KCL. Teaching has been a lifelong passion for me, and so has my love and appreciation for literature.Studying with me is very much an individual experience based on whatever you need; for instance, if you love to read, I can send you more material, if you need help with essay writing, we can go through rubrics and my previous first-class A-Level and University essays - it's very much up to you. I'm kind and patient and understand that literature isn't always everyone's cup of tea, but my goal would be to get you as a student to fall in love with at least one piece before our time together ends.

English class - for native speakers and those learning English as a second languageA comprehensive English class for beginners to advanced! Taught by a native English speaker and lessons can be in Italian or French. We will be speaking English for most of the class, you will have speaking practice every lesson as well as listening, reading and writing which I will correct and mark. We will have grammar lessons and I will explain common mistakes you make, as well as taking you through complicated pronunciation or grammar rules.
I have an excellent understanding of language, I grew up speaking English and Italian, and I learnt French at school, so I understand how language should be taught and what some common difficulties are. I am also learning Turkish and hopefully soon I will be able to teach in Turkish.
Christophe
French: written/oral expression, grammar, conversationDo you want to start learning French but have never learnt it before? Or maybe you want to perfect your understanding of French grammar, or your capacity to express yourself clearly, spontaneously and with confidence in French? Or work on pronunciation, perhaps improve your accent and learn more about French culture?
I can help you with all of these, and not only because I was born and raised in France: after getting my Master's Degree in Lingustics and Anthropology from the School for Advanced Research in Paris - at the time I was also teaching private classes of French and English to high school and university students - I moved to the UK and studied theatre at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. There I worked on the skills any speaker needs to communicate clearly and convincingly: diction, voice projection, etc.
These two approaches - linguistics, and theatre work - give me a strong foundation from which to help any student learn French. So jump on: we'll build a learning program tailored to your needs and make sure that the lessons are both dense and fun.
Abdrahman
A remote & onsite Arabic class where students can learn speaking, writing & reading. It's also a class where Quran and Islamic Studies are taught.Hello! My name is Abdrahman, from Nigeria. I have studied Arabic language (including reading, writing, listening and speaking skills). I also studied Quran & it's sciences, Tajweed, and other Islamic studies for more than fourteen years.
I have studied Arabic from the International Open University and Arabic Institute.
Currently, I'm also an Undergraduate student of Islamic Studies Education in the University of Lagos, Akoka. I also study under the tutelage of Sheikh Raslān from Egypt.
I am a tutor of modern standard Arabic, classical Arabic (the language of Quran and Hadith) and colloquial Arabic ('āmiyyah).
I love teaching Arabic because it is a very important language of Islam. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said we should love Arabic language because: he is an Arabic, the holy Quran is in Arabic language and the language of the paradise dwellers is Arabic.
I also love teaching Arabic language because it is the fifth most spoken language in the world.
It is the official language of 26 countries including 5 of the wealthiest countries in the world. And it's sixth most spoken language in the world.
Learning such a language will avail you to the discovery of most interesting cultures in today's world. It will also look good in your resume.
With Arabic language, you'll become a polyglot and you will be able to adapt to the environments of Arab. As a Muslim, with Arabic language, you'll have thorough understanding of Quran and Sunnah.
I have been tutoring Arabic and Islamic Studies since 2014 both online and offline till date. I tutor the learners between the ages of 5 - 80.
The focus of my instruction is on all the important skills of the language (reading, writing, listening and speaking), grammar and vocabulary development. With these, you'll be able to intermingle with Arabic speaking people in any Arab environment you find yourself and of course, you'll have yourself prepared and fit for any formal exam.
I am also certified to instruct in the memorization of Quran, the sciences of Quran like different versions of Quranic recitation (riwāyāt), the exegesis of Quran (tafsīr), e.t.c
I have syllabus and materials for tutoring Arabic efficiently within a period of six to twelve months.
I'm well experienced in tutoring with these books:
➡️ I love Arabic
➡️ Lessons in Arabic language
➡️ Nūrul bayān
➡️ Iqrā' qirā'tī
➡️ Qā'idāh Nūrāniyyah
➡️ Qā'idāh Makkiyyah
➡️ Qā'idāh Baghdādiyyah
➡️ Arabic in your hands
➡️ Tuhfatul Atfāl
➡️ Exegesis of Ibn Kathīr e.t.c
I also have experience in teaching English language and Philosophy.
Learning English language helps in developing ideas and communicating them.
I would be glad to be your tutor in this journey, choose me and you will not regret it.
See you in my class!
I have 7 years of teaching experience. I'm a certified Arabic and English teacher. I have TESL and simplified Arabic certification. My teaching method is philosophical, experimental and persuasive. My teaching approach is simple to complex.

"Master the Art of English: From Basics to Business, Colloquialisms to Confident Communication"As an English teacher, I design my classes to accommodate learners of all levels and ages. My goal is to help students improve their skills in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding English.

For students who are looking to improve their business English skills, I provide specialized lessons that focus on industry-specific language and terminology.
Throughout my classes, I strive to create a positive and engaging learning environment. I encourage my students to participate actively, ask questions, and practice what they've learned through class discussions and exercises. Ultimately, my aim is to help students develop a lifelong love for the English language and the confidence to communicate effectively in any situation.
