About Me
Having gained my degree from a linguistic university, I have an in-depth understanding of languages structures and grammar, which facilitates the teaching-learning process for me.I have a degree in English, Russian and French languages from an Armenian university, but have further taught myself Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Turkish and I am actively learning Chinese and Arabic now.
In 2017, I sat an exam at Instituto Cervantes in Manchester confirming my knowledge of Spanish language and got a result of C1 level of CEFLR (one level below that of a native speaker). Moreover, I have done almost 200 confirmed hours of interpreting in English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and Armenian languages for NHS, the Police, Courts, Social Services, etc. I have written and directed two feature films in Hindi language, for the latest of which I received the Best Original Screenplay award from a prestigious international film festival.
I taught Spanish, French and English in different high schools in England for 5 years.
Teaching Approach
Throughout my long journey of language teaching-learning, I have learnt about numerous recognised methods of teaching such as that of Michel Thomas, Vera F. Birkenbihl, Ilya Frank, etc. I have used many different methods in my classroom teaching and tutoring. At the same time, having spent the largest part of my life on learning languages, I have come up with my own method of acquiring languages, which however is more suitable for people with basic understanding of grammar connotations.
I am very flexible in terms of my teaching approach and vary it depending on the purposes of learning, as well as the individual preferences of the students. I always take into account the student's opinion and build the lessons around their individual needs, rather than trying to fit all in one size.
I have large variety of digital resources for different languages and methods of learning, and I often combine several sources to specifically make the most of the available options. At the same time, again, depending on the needs and purposes of the studies, I build resources myself as well.
Whatever method we choose to study, I will ask the students to devote another 1 hour per week for homework which might range from written exercises to watching a film in the target language.

Fun and effective classes with an experienced teacher and linguistLearning languages can be a lot of fun because in class we combine it with just communicating, getting to know yourself and the world better, watching videos, discussing articles and current affairs, playing games or anything a student is interested in. I am very open for new challenges and suggestions and love helping my students to express themselves in their own style using their ideas and character traits.
Being a linguist, I love languages in general and my experience and passion in teaching has allowed me to find various effective approaches my students need. I also worked as a translator and interpreter which has helped me to now teach special-purpose English or Russian, for example in medicine, IT, law and industries. I also prepare for international exams in English (IELTS, BEC, TOEFL, FCE, CAE).
I have a university degree in linguistics and translation (English and French), a TEFL certificate and a very wide experience in teaching languages (mostly English, but also French and Russian) for over 15 years.
I mostly work with adults, but also teach teenagers and was teaching kids of all ages (beginning from 2) in China.
I have been self-employed for many years now, but previously was working as a private tutor for language schools, at university and worked for an American and Chinese school in Guyang, China.
I like developing my own exercises for classes and focus on the speaking practice in all the three languages.

Kevin
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.

Robert
Learn French with a French-speaking teacher, 7 days a weekHello to all of you!
I welcome you to my profile.
You would like to learn French and I would also like to teach you French.
Fortunately, French is my native language. I live in Brussels where I have taught many French courses to French speakers and also to non-French speakers in the framework of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), mostly face-to-face and also some distance learning. I want to expand the use of distance learning.
Hence my presence on this site.
My greatest wish is to help you make as much progress as possible in French.
To this end, I use a judicious combination of oral and written exchanges.
I use these conversations to introduce grammatical concepts and expand your vocabulary. All this in a fun and friendly atmosphere!
You will have to express yourself a lot in French, because my level of Dutch is average. In fact, I speak it at a "normal" pace, but with a more limited vocabulary and expressions than yours.
This may seem a little frustrating at first, but it is a real benefit to you as it forces you to express yourself in French as much as possible!
It's all in your favor!
Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start a fruitful cooperation.

English(Improve Academic/Language skills, Terminology, Proofreading Thesis/Papers ): Beginner/Intermediate/AdvancedEnglish as a language is not only widely spoken but also, has made itself a prerequisite to the international world. Even if it is academic or just a beginner learning it for the first time, I will be helping you learn and master the English language just as I did until I achieved my dream of attending a university in English.
