    Over 18 years now, my students have been passing their English/ESL exams and have been able to tremendously improve their English skills to the point where they are able to now speak like Western native speakers! Essay writing is a huge area of focus in my classes as well!

    Not only do I and my team work with exam instructors to get the most up-to-date exam requirements, but also provide to the student the most focused strategies that are EASY TO UNDERSTAND, FAST TO LEARN AND FOCUSED ON A PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH CURRICULUM.

    I myself have scored 8.5 in IELTS and have helped my students achieve maximum scores as well:
    IELTS: 9 band (over a hundred cases)
    TOEFL: 120 points (56 cases)
    SAT: Full marks (45 cases)
    CELPIP: 12/12 (over 300 cases!)
    This excludes the thousands of other students who have been able to secure university entries or who have qualified for top-notch jobs thanks to their newly-learnt English skills.

    Likewise, these successes are the reasons why I love my job and continue teaching. Every day, I work hard towards achieving student results. The very moment they pass and thank me is something I live for day and night!

    With my TEFL certification, 15 years of experience, work with examiners, professional training for English teaching skills, background of working with students from all backgrounds, and most importantly DOCUMENTED TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES, I am sure that your requirements for your next learning venture will be guaranteed and pleasing!

    English lessons for all levels and all purposes (Progress guaranteed)
    I give English lessons in Tunis or online to all levels varying from beginner to advanced individually or for a group. The lesson can be done in the customers house depending on their preference. Lessons will generally last between 90 to 120 minutes depending on what the student wants. The way I teach is not a conventional way. I usually try to involve my students as much as possible in my lessons and try to make them independent so that they continue progressing even after we are done with the lessons. I can guarantee your progress during these English lessons in exchange I only ask for your motivation and your willingness to progress

    William
    English and Spanish Conversation Casual and Business
    Casual and business conversation. 20 years experience teaching at ECC. I started teaching in 2000. Now semi-retired. I still enjoy teaching. I was born in El Salvador and I grew up in the USA. So I grew up bilingual. Lived in the West Coast for 13 years. Graduated from UW-Madison (in Wisconsin). Lived in Chicago before moving to Nagoya.

    Mina
    100% native Japanese/English tutor living in Japan
    A little bit about my background... Currently I’m running a school in Japan and I work as a headteacher. I have 10 years of teaching experience in both English and Japanese, providing group lessons and private lessons primarily in Japan and Toronto. I grew up in Japan, therefore, I am fluent in Japanese. Besides English and Japanese, I’m also fluent in Farsi. After graduating from a Japanese high school, I went to University of Toronto to study Life Science and graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science. I was hired as a language teacher in one of the language school located in downtown Toronto. While I was in Toronto, I aimed to provide maximum opportunities for both Japanese and foreign students to share their perspectives and opinions on different topics while understanding cultural, habitual and historical differences. I have always been eager to learn different language and I had always loved teaching outside of work during my free time, which led me to build my career in education and I have obtained many years of professional teaching experiences over time. Understanding and applying what a student needs is the key to my student's achievements and success, therefore, I will make sure to provide my students an excellent platform for enhancing the quality of their language they’re learning and applying their knowledge to the real-life conversations. ✦英語/日本語を勉強してきたつもりなのにいざとなると話せない!インプットしてきた言語をアウトプットするトレーニングをします! ✦新しい言語を学ぶことで多様性に触れる機会が増えます。自分の価値観が変わったり、意見の不一致が生じても柔軟に対応することができたり、「世界観が変わりました!」という方々もたくさんいます。 ✦英語や日本語を使えるようになる事で、海外で仕事をするチャンスを得たり、留学して学校生活を最大限に楽しんだり、海外移住など大きな決断をする際も言語が通じるという点で少し安心できたりなどと可能性は無限です。 A female linguist once said that “Learning a language is like falling in love” What do you think she meant.....?

    Learning English for beginners.
    People struggling with English as an Additional Language (EAL) can face challenges in accessing education and social integration, requiring targeted support and strategies from educators and families. I myself had English as an additional language which I believe makes me very relevant as I can relate to how it feels knowing very little English. Languages I speak are Urdu, English, Punjabi, Italian, and Hindi.
