Improve your English (the fun way!) with a New Yorker
Hello! I'm so glad you found my class. If you are looking for a casual and fun way to improve your English you have come to the right place!
I've learned that students absorb material the best when they are relaxed, having fun and in real world environments, so I do my best to incorporate those elements in all of my classes.
A typical class involves us taking a stroll down a new neighborhood and chatting casually. Topics range with the student's fluency level, but typically include any of the below:
-- the weather
-- interesting things we pass by on our walk
-- our career aspirations
-- our travel plans or memories
-- favorite television shows
-- intriguing current events and news articles
On the first day I ask that my students bring their language goals written down on a piece of paper. Every class you are also welcome to bring particular questions you have about pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and overall colloquialisms.
I look forward to having you in my class! I am also offering webcam based lessons through October 2020 as I am not in town currently.
Ciao,
Taylor

About Me
Hello Apprentus community! I'm so excited to share my love of languages with you all, and I'm grateful for your eager and receptive attitudes!I keep my classes casual because I've found that students absorb and retain more information when they are having fun and relaxed. Whenever possible I combine a fun activity -- adjusted for the student's age, preferences, and fluency level -- with learning!
When we do in person lessons this means combining a fun walk around a neighborhood learning English in real world scenarios, like ordering a coffee, asking for directions, people watching, describing an interesting building and the weather, as well as talking about your emotions and the current events of the world.
When I conduct webcam or online lessons this usually means basing lessons around a favorite topic or tv show of the student. For example we could watch a 10 minute scene from Gossip Girl with english subtitles on and discuss the scene, the characters, their motivations, dilemmas, and outfits, as well as where they are in New York City.
If students are younger then I incorporate hands on play. We'll finger paint with different colors to learn the colors, we'll play with different shaped objects, and go through picture books in English. We'll play dancing games identifying the parts of our body like "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and sing the ABC's.
At the beginning of my courses I like to have the students write down their language goals, as well as a written commitment to me and themselves to practice each week. I also encourage students to come to class with one question about the english language!
Looking forward to getting to know you and celebrating the diversity and ingenuity of humans via language!

Highly qualified Italian language Teacher Discover Italy with a Highly Qualified Teacher! Italian Language Lessons Plus Cinema, Art, FashioWho am I?
I am a highly qualified teacher with several years of experience in teaching Italian to foreign students.
I organize courses for children, courses for individuals over 60, and preparation courses for Italian language exams.
I also offer seminars, webinars, and fun activities such as role-playing games and escape rooms to learn Italian while having fun.
**My education and studies**
I hold two degrees and a master’s degree.
My first degree is in Italian Studies, focusing on Theory, Criticism, and Methodology, with a specific path for teaching Italian to foreigners. My second degree is in Modern Philology. I also completed a Master’s in Contemporary Art and Curatorial Practices at the Luiss Business School in Rome.
**What did I do before teaching?**
Before dedicating myself to teaching, which I consider the best job in the world, I worked in the fields of fashion and contemporary art. After obtaining my master's degree, I worked as a curator of contemporary art and fashion exhibitions in important museums in Rome. I also collaborated with film festivals, particularly promoting Italian cinema abroad.
**My teaching philosophy**
I aim to provide my students with all my multidisciplinary knowledge and creativity to offer Italian lessons that include careful grammatical analysis. Beware of those who claim that Italian can be learned without studying grammar: grammar is essential for fully understanding the language system and enables students to become independent right away. Learning grammar is fun and makes learning long-lasting.
My lessons do not only focus on the Italian language, but also include insights into Italian culture, from cinema to fashion, from art to design. I also periodically organize meetings with famous Italian artists, including figures from the world of street art.
Join me for a unique learning experience that will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the Italian language and culture!
I currently teach in three Schools for Foreigners and have experience with students of all levels and all ages, including children ;)
With me, you can also prepare for the state exams to obtain citizenship.
Are you interested in Italian culture beyond the language?
Do you love cinema and want to learn more about the great visionary Italian directors?
Are you passionate about art and want to know more about the Medici, the Renaissance, and contemporary Italian art, and explore icons of Italian design?
Then this course is perfect for you. I offer grammar and conversation lessons enriched with seminars on the Italian cultural scene, role-playing games, and interactive activities.
All teaching materials will be provided by me!
Regardless of your age or level, we’ll achieve great things together! :)

Gemma's World of English Language Learning in FlorenceBy taking the plunge into my English language class it's like stepping into a vibrant, language-filled carnival where learning becomes a thrilling rollercoaster ride! In my classes, I don't just teach English; but I create a fun and interactive environment that turns learning into a fun experience.
Picture yourself engaging in lively conversations, playing language games, and immersing yourself in cultural activities that transport you to English-speaking destinations around the world. My imagination brings a dash of humor and creativity into every lesson, ensuring that learning English is never dull.
The class isn't just about textbooks and rules; it's about building a community of language enthusiasts who share in your excitement for mastering English. From tongue-twisters to hilarious role-play scenarios, we make language learning as entertaining as it is educational.
So, whether you dream of exploring new horizons, expanding your career opportunities, or simply want to impress your friends with your English fluency, our class is the ultimate language party where fun and fluency go hand in hand. Join us for a language journey you'll genuinely enjoy!

Self-Esteem & Resilience Building Program - Leading to Better Grades, Better Mental Health & Better Future ProspectsA step-by-step tuition program that:
Builds self-esteem
Increases resilience
Improves wellbeing
Improves communication
Improves study skills
Resources provided include:
-Mentoring
-3D animation videos to explain concepts
-Worksheets
-Other supplementary materials
Who i've worked with;
-students at prestigious schools across the world (e.g. Eton College, St. Paul's)
-students at the top universities (e.g. Oxford University, Yale University)
-student athletes (e.g. Harvard/Stanford and Team GBR Olympics teams)
-recent graduates at the world's top firms (e.g. Goldman Sachs, Slaughter & May)
This programme has been turned into a workshop and will be delivered at both Oxford and Cambridge universities for first year students.
Every student needs assistance to rebound after the pandemic and lockdowns. I have the expertise to get students back on track.
I have tutored students from the most prestigious schools in the country as well as students internationally.
I have delivered talks at schools on student success and have authored four books on topics such as productivity, time-management, self-discipline & confidence.
I founded the first online personal development academy for teenagers based around a holistic approach to learning. I also create wellbeing & mental health resources for young people at schools and universities.
My role is not only in preparing students for the future but it is giving them the confidence to shape it. My objective is to inspire, motivate and cultivate ambitious young students who have the ability to identify and fulfil their aspirations.
I combine five interlinked components that, if worked on in tandem, can drastically change a students life for the better and aid them in becoming the pioneers of the future.
These 5 strands are:
1) Mindset
2) Wellbeing Management
3) Study Skills
4) Life Skills
5) Leadership Development
I place a special emphasis on personal development and this is what makes me different. I believe it is possible to equip students with the mindset and skillset to radically alter their lives for the better.
My instruction goes beyond this by including study skills such as note-taking, memory improvement techniques, speed-reading, and effective revision into its program. These skills will stay with pupils and enlighten their entire academic tenure.
Finally, my role is also about offering guidance to students in terms of their current issues, academic future and potential career paths. My educational system is a result of years of lessons I myself learned progressing through the academic arena all the way to university level. In addition, it encompasses all the research I have conducted in self-improvement, effective study skills and successful leadership. These methods have been tested and proven successful. I hope to impart this knowledge to the next generation and watch them do great things with it.
Yours sincerely,
Ash

English courses for Beginners, Intermediates and advanced.Hello I'm Kenza , an MA student of Linguistics and I would like to help whoever needs to improve his proficiency in English. I have been working an English tutor for over a year now and I can guarantee that these sessions will be focused on English for people who encounter challenges in writing, speaking, reading and listening and lack correct grammar and skills. We would develop situational vocabulary, corresponding verbs, and adverbs that help transmit more precision when using English.
Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching. I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Memorise the timetable.
2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods.
Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude.
I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.
What will not be covered in the course:
learning lists of verbs;
learning lists of nouns with articles;
learning words with their translations;
flashcards;
doing school exercises;
following the syllabus of a booklet;
imposing the English grammar on the German language.
What is particularly important to me:
to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm;
to encourage his creativity;
to befriend him with the language;
the letters and their sounds;
to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop;
to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences;
to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...;
to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary.
A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

✨French teacher - Pass the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Individual or group session. ✨Hello, I am Majda, French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2018.
I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people.
I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress.
Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF:
The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles.
Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level?
Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation.
I am available !
