About Me

I am a qualified Special Educational Needs Coordinator, with a PGCE in Science and over 10 years of experience tutoring and teaching individuals between the ages of 4 and 21. When I was completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology at UCL, I started tutoring and became sold on teaching: supporting people to develop skills and acquire knowledge; igniting interest and open doors to opportunities are just some of the factors driving my love of teaching.

Creating equity through inclusion is at the heart of my practice, working with individuals to improve and secure their foundational skills acting as a building block for them to overcome hurdles, grow their understanding and confidence as well as access opportunities opportunities throughout their lives. This technique has allowed pupils I work with to go from obtaining U's to achieving a grade 4/5 or stretching pupils who were achieving grades 4/5 to 7's, 8's and 9's.

Whilst outcomes are important relationships are key to this success to allow learning to be fun and engaging, which allows individuals to truly thrive. I love learning! And love igniting that passion in others; I am a firm believer that learning changes lives because learning is for life. The capacity to learn is the superpower we all share. Reframing perspectives and offering new narratives whether it is in relation to a poem, scientific theory or maths equation allows people to unlock their superpower and succeed.

Education

I completed my undergraduate degree at UCL and then went on to a PGCE at Canterbury Christ Church, before completing the National Award for SEN Co-ordination at Middlesex University

Hello, my name is Yunus Emre. I'm Turkish and live in Izmir. I can't wait to learn Turkish with you.🤗 I love teaching Turkish.

In this part, we talk about the texts we have read and listened to before. Of course, we try to use new words and verbs more. I love people who talk a lot in my classes.

Spanish online lessons with native spanish teacher for adults and teenagers
I am a native Spanish speaker and a general language enthusiast. In addition to Spanish, I speak German and English. I am 100% confident that I will successfully teach you Spanish (while having fun and relaxing)! I've been teaching spanish for 15 years. I am 41 years old, graduated with honors from the University of Salamanca. My main goal in teaching is to make students feel relaxed and comfortable while studying. Do you already know Spanish? No problem! Rather than building the basics, we can design courses to suit your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can give presentations on topics that interest you or that I present to you, we can discuss current events, engage in debates, you can write summaries of newspaper articles, or we can delve into advanced grammar. Whatever you enjoy and need, we can do it together. All my courses combine speaking, listening and grammar practice in interaction with me. Unless you are a very advanced student, we work with learning materials created by some of the best language learning publishers in Germany. These materials serve as a common thread for our course, introducing new words, grammar and exercises at a good pace and in an interesting way, keeping you engaged and motivated. I also show you German food, music and places. In addition, I will introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level. Another important factor for me is the personal connection. We usually start our lessons with how the weekend or previous weekdays were like. Contact me now to arrange a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn more about you, your needs and desires and thus design the optimal course for you.

Wafaa
Arabic language lessons for native and non-native speakers, and teaching the Holy Quran with Tajweed.
Arabic💐 Hello and welcome. I am Wafaa. I love the teaching profession, especially for children. It makes me live with them inside the classroom as if I were in a garden, playing, learning and competing away from the events of the world full of horrors. 🍭🍬 We will learn the basics of the Arabic language from the letters so that we can start reading at a high level. We also speak in classical Arabic to develop the skill of speaking Arabic using modern teaching strategies and methods. 💐 From the first class, the student can speak Arabic. I rely in my lessons on the Nooraniyah rule if the guardian wants to teach his son to read the Holy Quran, and also a special curriculum for the non-Arabic speaking student. As for if the guardian wants to teach reading, writing and grammar in Arabic, thank God we follow a group of books, most notably Arabic in your hands, basic education and Arabic language lessons, and there are other curricula from which I choose what suits the student's needs. 💐 In each class, we must practice the four language skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking, in an atmosphere of interaction between me and the student. 💐I can help you with your requirements that you seek in the Arabic language and the Holy Quran. My life is full of courses, meetings and readings in this field so that I am qualified to help you and you also to progress. I can give you advice away from the routine of work so that you can achieve yourself, succeed and be creative in your life through my experience and dealing with children and adolescents. 💐This field is not only for learning a language, but it gives us the abilities and will succeed in life, the language of the Qur’an that God honored makes us read and memorize the Qur’an to understand God’s messages to us. We seek to learn to refine behavior and develop skills so that we can be a nation that reads as our noble Messenger loves. I teach the Holy Quran by dictation first for those who cannot read, then by spelling after giving a set of lessons to the student so that he can spell directly from the Holy Quran.

Anthony (UK)!
Conversational English at home or online. I can also help you with reading.
Hello, my name is Tony, I’m from 🇬🇧 London 🇬🇧 and I’d love to be your English teacher! I'm not your average teacher; I'm a sailor who lives on a boat in Normandy, France. I have just completed writing my first novel, which I’m now trying to get published and I'm also working on the second book. My life has been engulfed by the English language! If you want to improve your conversation skills, feel more confident speaking English, or simply enjoy learning in a creative, engaging way, I’m here to help. I can offer customised lessons tailored to your needs, interests, and goals, making each session fun and practical. Learning a new language can be challenging, but I’m passionate about helping you feel comfortable and motivated. Plus, with my flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate your preferred times for lessons. I think audio books are a great way to learn English in your spare time! I listen to a lot of audio books. Pop in the ear buds and listen to a book in English. But make sure the narrator has an accent you like! I have some great recommendations for audio books, with amazing English narrators. Reading a book in English may be a little harder, but if I could recommend one easy to read book in English it would be 'The Old Man and the Sea' by Ernest Hemingway. It is written in a very easy to read style, and it will also give you lots to think about and discuss in our class. We could read this book together, taking turns to read a page or two, and then discuss the story as we go. So, if you’re ready to embark on an exciting journey of learning English with a sailor who brings stories and the world into the classroom, let’s set sail together! Reach out to me, and let’s start this adventure!
