About Me

Hello, I am a TEFL certified linguistics teacher. I am based in Angmering, on the South Coast of England. I am a native speaker of English, which I have taught in various public schools across Spain, as well as remotely with numerous language academies. I have also worked in secondary schools in the UK at GCSE level for French and Spanish, whereby I earned my PGCE.

I have a wealth of passion for MFLs (Modern Foreign Languages), as they enable us to better understand cultures that are different to our own. As well as expanding our vocabularies in the process which enhances our understanding of our own language.

I am a caring, empathetic person who always relishes enhancing my pupils ability to use the language confidently with self-expression.

I look forward to meeting and conversing with anyone who wants to start their journey with a new language, or perhaps seeks to improve what understanding they already have.

This session will discuss daily routines at school or work, as well as comparing and contrasting it with the week-end. We will use the days of the week to come up with your own routine from for each week. We will also learn some key vocabulary for this topic, such as tasks that could be performed, as well as practicing the present continuous.
This session will be centered around the purpose of the present continuous, how it should be used and when to use it. During this session we will focus on the formation of the tense, breaking down different sentences in order to better understand endings of words using -ing. Throughout the course of the lesson there will be a mix of production exercises, with a blend of both speaking and written tasks used. For example, an event of the daily events of a business worker will be looked at, with numerous continuous verbs used. At the end of the lesson, we will also begin to discuss the continuous action in the past and future.
Bonjour à tous! Want to converse with the locals in an idyllic French bakery on that weekend getaway in Paris or Nice? Want to wow the locals with your correct pronunciation of Bonne soirée? Now is the time to begin learning those essential phrases for your trip to make your experience that bit more memorable! This will include: - Greetings - Asking for directions - Ordering food at a restaurant And much more! Feel free to contact me to begin exploring this beautiful language.
Do you have a job in the workplace but are unable to converse with your colleagues because they speak another language? This lesson may be for you! In the UK you would be staggered at the number of French businesses that have headquarters in the UK, with Michelin, Thales and Citrëon to bane just a few. This leads to many French employees working in these businesses. The trouble is how to engage with them in their native language. This crash course will seek to address this issue as much as possible. French work culture will also briefly be discussed and how it differs to the UK. Phrases such as d'accord, on y va, and à bientôt will taught in this session, as well as regular verbs like manger and boire.

Silvia
Online or 1-to-1 German classes in Worthing (West Sussex)
I am an experienced German teacher, who taught for the last 5 years online and 1 to 1 lessons for a language centre (Brighton) The lessons are individually tailored, we will work on all 4 skills: speaking, writing, listening and reading. Lessons will be tailored around your individual language needs. We work usually with a book from A1 - C1 and then with media (news articles and materials/videos from the internet). Lessons will be a mixture of reading texts and then answering questions or discussing the topic, listening exercises and free speaking. You also can read books (easy reader) or bring your own materials to the lessons. I teach grammar in context with texts, not independently. But students will develop in time a concept of the various elements in a sentence (pronoun, verb, preposition, adjective, noun, adverb etc) and get a clear picture of sentence structure (main and subordinate clauses and placement of verbs). Still, the main focus will be on conversation, students will immerse in the fascinating world of German words and expressions, doing role plays and practicing day to day situations. Developing not only their language skills but also their fantasy and improvisation skills.

Kimberley
Easy French lessons to improve your French so you can travel on your own.
I like to ask the students what they would like to learn from my lessons. What are their goals. I think it's really important to be on the same page, so we can work in the same direction together and it makes things easier. I can adapt easily to different kind of teachings. People are different and they don't always have the same way to learn. I can start from the basics (learning how to pronounce the letters right, feminine and masculine of words, grammar, verbs, etc.) I can only teach oral lessons if is what the person wants. I like working with a lot of examples and visuals.

I follow a traditional academic model where I make sure that grammatical knowledge is covered and learnt. Ultimately, I would like my students to have fun with learning!

Amanda
Learn English from a Native Speaker, All levels welcome
I am a native english speaker from the USA. I have been living in Brighton getting a masters degree in community psychology. I have studied in America and the UK and am familiar with both education systems. My goal is to help any person who wishes to improve their english language skills, both written and spoken. My schedule is flexible. We can work together to develop your skills at a pace that is right for you. Any age, background, language level, all are welcome.

Claudia
Italian Tutor for all ages. Speaking, talking and interacting activly
It is always nice and stimulating to learn a new language and knowing Italian offers great satisfaction! I teach all levels and ages. My goal is to teach the Italian language in an easy and fun way. I want to offer space not only to grammar, but also for the conversation based on everyday life. I like to use with my class a communicative and student-centred approach. In my lessons I want to address all cultural aspects that foreigners love more about Italy: fashion, food, climate, spirit, beliefs and holidays. My learning method will never be boring because along the way, we will have the support of videos, music, authentic text and interactive games. If you are an absolute beginner, don't worry! i will help you to improve and in a few weeks you will see great results!

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.
