About Me
Hello, my name is Jack and I am originally from West Yorkshire, England. Outside of an academic setting, I gain a strong sense of fulfilment in teaching something to someone. I enjoy seeing them grow, and chartering the progress they make. Having recently graduated with a BA in English Literature from University in Bristol, my subject expertise will match the content of my classes. The best teachers I have had in the past are the ones that inspire, or instil a deeper appreciation for learning. In my case, it was the love of literature that was sparked. I aim to do the same.My academic journey has fuelled my passion for working with children, as I am deeply committed to supporting their development and making a meaningful impact in their lives. I believe that education should be both enlightening and enjoyable. Whilst teaching a syllabus, I will strive to create lessons that inspire curiosity and foster a love for learning.

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.

English Language - Writing, Speaking, Listening ComprehensionCan learning English be fun, insightful, productive and effective at the same time? I believe so!
Whatever your background or profession, deciding to learn a foreign language is a great way to add another dimension to your life and make your mind work in a new way. You become a (slightly) different person, since along with a new language, one learns to look at the world in a slightly different way. This is why my approach to teaching English is not only aimed at laying or strengthening the foundational knowledge - grammar, speaking, writing and listening skills, but also at introducing students to the culture of the English-speaking population. We will find out what English speakers find funny, what drives them to tears, what makes them feel proud and what they get embarrassed about.
Open to students of all levels, my course usually is taught online, using a variety of visual aids and a wide range of material, from textbooks to YouTube videos. In teaching advanced learners, I often refer to pieces of literature such as novels and poems, since they easily spark discussions, which in turn improves the students' grasp and feel of the language. In doing so, I take students beyond ordinary textbooks and grammar books, since they are no more than guides to learning, not absolute authorities, and because to me language is a living, constantly evolving matter, which you must submerge yourself into in order to understand.
In addition to my unorthodox approach, what sets me apart is a collection of unique, language-related experiences, which translate into a good ability to understand nuances of the English language. A native Russian speaker, I have lived in the UK for over 5 years, went to a Scottish boarding school and have even completed a university degree in English. Thanks to my linguistic and cultural competency, I will make sure that you are never lost in translation! Are you interested? Then contact me today!

Give you confidence to speak , read and write Farsi-Persian in easy wayMy lessons are based on standard conversational (informal) Persian spoken by mainly the middle-class educated people in Iran. I teach in three beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels:
The beginner level is mostly focused on basic grammar and vocabularies and you will learn to make simple sentences and handle basic conversations.
In the intermediate and advanced levels you will gradually learn more vocabularies, will make more sophisticated sentences and will be more confident in communication in Farsi.
In the advance level you will have lessons on particular subjects such as cooking, weather, houses, cities etc and thus you will learn related vocabularies and slang.
All the lessons are designed and written by me and all are supported by plenty of examples from everyday life.
In my class, not only yоu will leаrn Persiаn but yоu will also knоw аbоut аmаzing Irаniаn culture,music, pоetry. You will never get bored during the lessons as I cаn аlsо teаch yоu sоme eаsy sоngs in Persiаn, we will talk about delicious Iranian food ( I am going to give you some recipes in Farsi as a part of lessons) and will even listen to some Persian songs!!
We are practicing four skills together, Listening, Writing , Reading and Speaking. Also, you have homework at the end of each class.

I will quickly identify your weak areas and adapt my teaching methods according to each student be it on your business premises or your home. Lessons are usually task-based and centred around practical functions.

Learner English for beginners and all other learnersAcquiring additional languages will broaden your horizons; it will enable you to interact with a greater number of individuals and enhance your social network, while also enhancing critical thinking skills from diverse perspectives that may result in significant career opportunities. Cultural awareness, improved communication skills and enhanced academic performance are just a few of the benefits of learning new languages or improving your language skills.
For an academic student, I would monitor their current classes, design exercises to enhance their proficiency and concentrate on identifying and ameliorating their weaknesses.
In a lesson for a volunteer learner, I would prioritise speaking practice, since the pronunciation of certain syllables is essential.
