English Literature and Language tutoring and TEFL classes

The lessons are tailored so each student can achieve their own personal learning goals. I provide TEFL for both young learners and adults, in General English, Business English and IELTS preparation.
Lessons for young learner are done using fun activities and TPR to encourage guided discovery. Mistakes are welcomed as they help young learners to learn and remember. Lessons include reading, listening, writing, grammar, phonics and conversation to build the confidence, vocabulary and proficiency of each learner based on their individual needs.
Classes for adults can be General English, Business English or IELTS preparation and again all of the skills are incorporated, whilst the lessons are individually suited to the desired learning objectives and areas most in need of improvement or support.
Lessons for British students are provided for KS1 and KS2 students, as well as 11+ exam preparation. again lessons are tailored for the individuals needs as well as focussing on topics they enjoy. Lessons for younger learners focus on learning through fun and finding what they need support with and teaching techniques that work for the individual. Again, young learners are reassured that our philosophy is 'mistakes help us learn'.

About Me

I am passionate about the English language and understand how important it is for people who work in or with English speaking countries to be able to interact fully in English.
I love teaching and my approach is that it should be interesting and engaging as well as educational. Mistakes and corrections are a massive part of the learning experience and should be embraced and not feared. I believe it important to tailor lessons to the learner's desired outcomes, whether that be to live in an English speaking nation and be an active part of their community, or communicate with English speaking businesses.
I am also very aware of how important it is for parents to be able to give their children the best possible chances in life through a firm knowledge of English. Finding topics that are age and level appropriate but also tailored to the interests of my students is essential. I want help my students to study and learn the language they will need or use on a daily basis.
Every child is different which is a wonderful challenge as every class is different and no two days are the same. I love meeting children for the first time and being able to reach them, finding what works best for them on their learning journey. Some children love TPR, some love my toys and props especially if the teddies applaud when the child does well. Older ones tend to enjoy showing you their capabilities and respond well to their teacher showing a genuine interest in them as people as well as students. I am patient, calm and approachable. A big part of teaching is meeting and finding out about people. I am interested in my students as a people and not just a students, this way I can help them to achieve all of their learning goals.

Experience / Qualifications

In January I began working for Education First Kids as an Online Teacher, teaching English to young students. My students range from 6 years to 10 years of age and have varying levels of English. I work with absolute beginners through to approximately intermediate students on a large variety of topics. Lessons usually have a skill focus for the first half of the lesson and two-way conversation for the latter half, continuing the lesson topic. I love teaching these children, especially as I have a lot of recurring classes with the same core students. This allows me to see their progression and learn more about them, enabling me to adapt my classes to best suit their learning style.
In April I also began to work for Centro Educativo Huayue as an Online Teacher. I teach English to young students ranging from 8 to 11 years of age and their level goes from beginner to intermediate. I vary the skill focus according to the students’ needs and the lessons follow Blink Learning for content. I teach the same students each week, so I am able to enjoy watching their progress and tailor the lesson to their needs. These are group lessons and I have had additional students added over the months as they have become increasingly popular with student and parents.
For the last year I have also been tutoring English students through face to face, one to one, online and in person sessions. I tutor KS1, KS2 and 11+/Grammar School Entrance Exam preparation.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

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.
