English and Test-Prep Tutoring with an emphasis on the conversational use of language

Hello, I'm a young teacher currently living in Fribourg. I'm a CELTA graduate (Cambridge English Language Teaching for Adults) and I would love to help you with any issues concerning homework, essay writing or helping out with any fear you may have with communicating in English (and don't worry, we've all been there)!

More specifically:
- I would be creating a special course plan specifically made for you and what you may be struggling with
- I only speak in English to create an English-speaking friendly environment where making mistakes is cherished and used as a tool towards getting better
- I like to teach grammar in a fun way, through conversation, games and functional language (the language you may be used in every-day situations i.e. while shopping, asking for directions, etc.)
- As I previously said, mistakes are cherished in my classes, I would be collecting them, and at the end of every class, you would most likely be able to correct them yourself!

Extra information

It would be helpful if before the lesson you could inform me about specific things you would like to improve/ work on.

About Me

Hello, I'm a young person with a big passion for teaching and languages. My love for teaching appeared as I discovered that I myself don't learn very efficiently when approached by the more 'traditional' way of teaching (i.e. the I preach- You write down method) so I decided to find the easiest way possible for me to learn, I discovered that it was through conversation and putting language into context rather than stare at rows and tables all day long. I soon realized that I wasn't the only one who felt this way and I completed the CELTA (Cambridge English Language Teaching for Adults) course which helped me understand that we all learn differently, some through conversation, some through music, some through movement, but ultimately we all need this factor of putting language into a real-life situation in order to truly understand it.
This is what I mean to do, I would be creating a personalized lesson plan for all my students and having the first lesson (45 minutes), in order to understand what your interests are, how you like to learn and what motivates you. I hope to inspire you and show you just how amazing and fun English can be.

Phillip
Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.
