About Me
Hey I'm Ria. I'm a 25 year old foreigner living in Shanghai for the past 6 years.I am proficient in teaching children aged from 2-3 years old up to 14 years. I also have several months of experience in assisting adults by conducting one on one classes for Interview preparation as well as improving communication skills via online and offline sessions.
I have a lot of experience in teaching one to one classes, smaller groups as well as larger groups of up to 12 students to help improve English and gain confidence in speaking, as I believe that is one of the main ways to improve language skills. I have experience with preparing lesson plans, class tests (spelling tests, quizzes etc.) as well as providing feedback to the parents.

My one to one classes are tailored for each individual student with regard to their personality. This helps them to be more interested in the teaching material and the class in general. . After my classes, my students have gained much confidence in expressing themselves in English, whether it comes to their writing or oral abilities.

ENGLISH TEACHER from ENGLAND excellent quality lessonsHello, are you looking for an English teacher, qualified from the UK? Do you wish to improve your pronunciation, your grammar and get ready for your job/school? The English lessons here are especially designed to meet your needs. Do you wish to have your work corrected, to work on literature/ business subjects/ linguistics or prepare yourself for an exam? Don’t wait and send me a message. The teacher can prepare you as well for specific examinations like IETLS or specific English programs (A-Levels, GCSE...).
Why learning English?
English is a worldwide language and you will need to have solid basis in English for your job or for leisure when travelling. Did you know? Knowing an extra language is extremely appreciated by recruiters because not only you are familiar with a foreign language but also you will be open-minded, knowing various cultures. 😊
You have the possibility to have the lessons via Skype (the majority of my students prefer having their lessons online, technology is fun!).
If you have further inquiries, don’t hesitate to let me know, it will be a pleasure to help you and present you to your teacher.

Online French language tutoring in a creative way and proficiency (for all levels)I tutor French language for learners interested in improving their pronunciation, grammar, reading, writing, and preparation for international exams, I'm willing to help you become fluent in daily life conversations simply and creatively with no complications and a sense of humour sometimes.

All materials will be provided to you by email.

French private lessons by university graduate in LettersHolder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research
The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.
For help with writing:
The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.
For analyzes of oral literary texts:
In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.
For the corrections of end of studies work:
so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.
Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.
For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.
For adults (FLE):
In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).
The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.
Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

🇲🇫 Be Fluent in French and Speak it with Confidence!My name is Fatima and I am delighted to introduce myself to you as your future French teacher. For four years, I have had the pleasure of teaching this magnificent language and its rich and diverse literature. Currently based in Vietnam, I have had the opportunity to teach students from diverse backgrounds, which has enriched my perspective and my teaching method.
My passion for the French language and literature began at a very young age, and it led me to obtain a master's degree in French literature and education. Every day, I am inspired by the works of great authors and by the beauty of the French language. What pushes me to share my knowledge is the deep desire to transmit this passion and to see my students flourish thanks to their mastery of French.
As a teacher, I adopt a different teaching method. I favor interactive and creative lessons, where each student can express themselves freely and develop their language skills in a dynamic and engaging way. My goal is to make you love the French language as much as I love it, and to give you the tools you need to express yourself with ease and confidence.
I can't wait to start this adventure with you and share the richness of French literature together. Join me to discover a world of words, stories and culture.

I will help you to be among the speakers of the eighth most spoken language in the world.
My lessons have been designed to give you a broad knowledge of the language, and include the four main disciplines of language learning: reading, writing, speaking and listening.
I consider it important to keep the balance between practice and theory during the course for that the geography, the culture, the traditions, the civilization of Russia are an integral part of the courses.
NB: On average a student can acquire an A1 basic level in Russian in 6 months, this duration can be reduced if they take intensive courses.
Face-to-face lessons mainly take place at the teacher's home.
