I befriended him at my then place of work where we were both busy making spring rolls, and being a musician myself we hit it off and I had him speaking our local lingo in no time - niether of us have looked back, he now has a succesful workshop in France and I live here in Greece ready to help you with whatever English related matter you may have....looking forward!

Meri
Test-prep tutoring, reading, Finnish Language, homework - Support from Special Education Teacher
I am a qualified Special Education teacher from Finland and I offer test-prep tutoring, help with homework, support for learning disabilities, teaching Finnish language and tutoring in all subjects in the Primary school level. My teaching style is student-centered and encouraging. I tailor each session's content to meet the unique needs of each student and consider their individual learning style. Some students remember things better through visuals, some through listening, and others through hands-on practice. My goal is for each student to genuinely understand the material, enabling them to apply what they've learned in various real-life situations. Simply repeating information without comprehension doesn’t lead to lasting learning. I hope to work with students of all ages and needs. However, I should mention that my strongest expertise in mathematics is limited to the basic school curriculum. Please reach out to me if you're looking for a calm, flexible, warm, and approachable private tutor. Due to my professional background, students who need additional support are more than welcome to contact me. Currently, I only offer online lessons, as my lifestyle is quite mobile.

Laura
English teacher for foreign and local children, helping with homework, prep for exams or every day life
Learning English is an essential part of life in the world in these times as most international businesses, trade with all parts of the world and to communicate they use English as a neutral language. It is vital that children especially have to know English, how to speak it and how to understand it keeping up with the times ahead of them and as a teacher of English, especially to foreign children, the language is rapidly changing and improving. Even I as a teacher have to learn new things in order for the youth to carry on. In my class, the student will learn the effectiveness of the English language and the importance of it, how to use grammar properly and allow them to learn to use it even if it's just for every day life along with new vocabulary and new skills. I will be able to show them the techniques they can use whether it be for an exam or class work. If I'm teaching a child with special needs, I can teach them how to cope by using English as a foundation and new skills. Fun, laughter, love, empathy, integrity and creativity are all part of my class, to allow for the child to feel safe and relaxed around me and creating a sense of trust. I think all of these are essential, it grabs their attention and it allows for the child to feel safe and comfortable.
