    American Literature, American History, Composition, Screenwriting, Guitar

    I am interested in providing English lessons to students of all ages.

    I can adapt my lessons to accommodate your interests and goals. For instance, if your goal is to be able to read the Wall Street Journal and to discuss it comfortably (in English) with colleagues, we can develop a course to help you reach that goal.

    If your interest is in American History or Literature (or something more specific: like the "History of Black Empowerment Movements in 20th century America" (the topic of my junior thesis); or "Understanding Faulkner's America"; or "The Berkeley Free Speech Movement", etc...), we can cultivate a course to help you discuss your topic of interest with advanced proficiency in English.

    I have a BA in History from Middlebury College and a Masters in History Education from NYU Steinhardt. I write songs and scripts and have a beginner's proficiency in French.

    This class is for everyone.

    English lessons - Cours d'anglais - Learn British English with a native British speaker.
    Get to know the conversation, understand, read and read the British English language with a British British and qualified EFL professor. Adapt to your level and style of apprentissage. Concentrate on certain forms that tell the language of business, the common language, the grammar, the pronunciation, etc. You talk to a French and Dutch child, you can provide help with the translations of the languages needed, while you think it is preferable to develop a language and develop skills that are part of a part of your life level of basis and use of material visually or contextually. ================================================= Learn how to speak, understand, read and write British English with a native British qualified EFL teacher. Lessons tailored to your level and learning style. If necessary, concentrate on certain forms, such as business language, common conversational language, grammar, pronunciation, etc. I also speak French and Dutch, so I can help with translations into these languages where necessary, although I think it is better to teach entirely in the target language and develop skills from a basic level using visual or contextual materials.

I have taught english to age groups ranging from five year old children to adult classes. I am always conscious to adapt my teaching style and content to suit the students interests. I am experienced working with all levels of fluency.

I assign homework every lesson that I review with each student to ensure that my feedback helps them to progress.

    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.

    give courses in languages and applied biochemistry
    My name is Younes and I give language lessons, for me teaching means learning twice so my learning method is based on simplicity and above all you have to move forward according to the student's rhythm to allow him to learn. improve and acquire new bases and be able to assimilate new information without ever becoming saturated.

    Albanian/"Shqip"(Improve Academic/Language skills, Proofreading): Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced
    Albanian as a language is very distinguishable as it has its own branch in the Indo-Europian language tree. It is an ancient language transferred from the Illyrians who lived in the Balkan peninsula. As it is my native language, I have always helped and tutored people who are ethnically Albanian but have been raised outside of Kosovo or Albania and do not have a complete understanding of their mother tongue. Together, we will focus on all fundamentals, including the core bases of Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Throughout lessons, we will practice together with additional homework. I am looking forward to meeting you soon. "Jeni të mirëseardhur!".
