About Me
Tell what it's like to teach for you, what kind of teacher you are, what kind of students you liketell about experience and tutoring methods
I like teaching because education is incredibly important in personal development. I am firm, but patient and understanding. I want you to gain as much as possible out of every session. We will discuss your needs, desires, and expectations to ensure that we can achieve your goals. My goal is to help you establish a strong foundation and then build up your knowledge as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. When you want me, but don't need me anymore, then I have done my job well.
I like students that are realistic and dedicated. The path to success is not easy and there will be struggles, but hopefully you will be able to reap the fruits of your labor. I will give everyone a chance to achieve success, but if I feel that you are not a good fit, then I will not keep you as a student.
People are motivated when something is fun. Variety is the spice of life. I approach learning the same way. I will utilitze media platforms in addition to traditional methods to reinforce concepts.

English lessons for beginners and those who want to improve, young or oldEnglish is a world language. You can go almost everywhere with English. That is why it is important that you have some command of English and that you can make yourself understood. And that is what I am for, helping people, young or old, to learn English or improve their English.
Method:
First I make an assessment of aptitude for, and existing knowledge of, English for each student.
During teaching I find the following elements important:
1. Creating a friendly and pleasant atmosphere in which the student starts to feel enthusiastic.
2. Discipline. This means that the course leader and the student (s) do what is expected of them.
3. From simple to complicated, tailored to the aptitude and experience of the student (s).
4. Practicing a lot and repeating previous lessons.
5. Structured work. This mainly means working on the grammar of English because grammar gives structure to a language.
6. Regular keys.

English Speaking & Writing for Scientific or Formal PurposesIn the EU, many of us communicate verbally and in writing using English, although it may not be our native language. With this class I can practice speaking English with you for formal presentations, school or work assignments, etc. or help you work on your grammar, diction, and syntax in English writing. I was born and raised in Canada, therefore am a native English speaker, and also have a Bachelor of Medical Science, so I can also help with technical and scientific language.
Anna
Italian Grammar and Literature. English Grammar and conversationI am an Italian native speaker with a bachelor in Italian Literature and Linguistics. In Italy, I usually teach English to high school students, or adults who want to improve their skills with this language.
Usually, I tend to use a non-academic approach, by focusing on the student's interests and make him/her applying the language to their everyday life, instead of simply learning the grammar rules by heart.
In my opinion, learning a new language should be fun and easy, nothing too stressful. What you will get from is a new positive and funny way to learn a foreign language such as Italian or English.

English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Catalan classesI'm a polyglot & passionate teacher of foreign languages with teaching certificates in all 5 languages and more than 14 years of experience in the classroom and online.
I have lived in several countries (Spain, UK, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands) and I have taught language classes to students of all ages in groups and individually.
I offer classes in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Catalan. Also German and Swedish for beginners.
Michael
English Language Training for Professional and Personal DevelopmentDo you communicate in English with clients, colleagues, or people close to you? Do you want your pronunciation, expression, and comprehension to feel more natural and relaxed?
Are you trying to improve your English, but aren't sure which program and/or level fits you the best?
Are you interested in learning and practicing in real-world contexts in pursuit of accomplishing your goals?
Are you ready to enjoy using English even more while still achieving longer-lasting learning?
I'm a TEFL-certified, native English teacher from the United States of America with over ten years of professional experience all around the world supporting learners of all levels to speak more fluently and express themselves more deeply in English.
My approach begins with learning more about your specific learning journey, interests, and goals. This is the starting point for me to be able to tailor the feedback, learning materials, and lesson plans according to your language background, levels, and target objectives.
I believe that language learning always begins with building upon your capabilities in order to challenge you progressively and create longer lasting learning outcomes. Through the methods and techniques we will use, I have acquired fluency in both Spanish and Dutch; therefore, I can understand, translate, and provide instruction in these languages to support your English learning.
As I'm currently earning a second Bachelor's degree in English Language & Culture at Leiden University in the Netherlands, I am learning a great deal more about linguistics, pronunciation, grammar, academic research, writing, and how to facilitate effective communication in English. I'm specifically focused on English education through applied linguistics, language acquisition and performance methodologies, such as the use of English as a Lingua Franca amongst native and non-native speakers.
I have earned certificates in Teaching English as a Foreign Language(TEFL-320hr) and Hatha Yoga & Meditation Instruction(CYT-200hr). Continuing education has helped me to recognize the enormous importance of individual learning in combination with group work/training and feedback to improve one's practice and performance.
I will immediately share appropriate and useful resources as well as feedback for your learning and practice.
I can create interactive content during/after training sessions (audio, visual, literary) as requested to give you a competitive advantage beyond the context of the lessons for your own self-study as well.
Please contact me for more detailed descriptions of training sessions, levels, or anything else related to the lessons I have on Apprentus (including Hatha Yoga & Meditation). I’m very grateful to pursue this life path and share in the creation of cooperative practice and learning environments with fellow students!
Rippy
English Literature, Writing, and Public Speaking for Kids and Teens - Leiden and OnlineRippy is the fearless captain of Tumbleweed Writers, offering classes in literature, writing, and public speaking. She also dotes on libraries. As her children were growing up, she wondered if there was a way she could continue spending her days reading the mountain of books she had collected. In a burst of creativity, she designed several classes she believed would benefit and delight young people.
Genuinely, she wants to help a new generation of thinkers, readers, and writers. Imagining tumbleweeds jiggling, wiggling, and possibly even giggling as they fly across empty fields, she named her company after this thistle when she realized it could be a metaphor for writers who are often a bit clumsy and wild with ideas and words before finally tumbling freely and ferociously. Rippy creates a safe and inspired space for her students, who she nicknames 'tumbleweeds', where she brightly engages them in online classes.

Leonor
Law Student Teaching Portuguese, English or Law to People Excited to LearnHello! My name is Leonor and I am a Law Student from Portugal. In the last few months, I worked as an English Teacher in a Refugee Camp and Greece and before that I worked as a Portuguese and English tutor to both middle school and high school students. I had a 8.5/9 IELTS score and have lived abroad for several years, so English is a language I'm really comfortable in speaking.
I love creating worksheets and powerpoints. Furthermore, I love summarizing the topics I'm teaching in the end of each lesson and making sure the students never leave class with questions. Creating a comfortable environment for the students to make mistakes is something I consider really important.
I would love to teach you Portuguese and English, so you can improve your legal, writing and conversational skills in both languages!

English Language Lessons for Beginners and IntermediatesThese classes are intended to boost your confidence in a new language or build on your existing knowledge to make you comfortable with grammar and conversation. I am a qualified English teacher (TEFL) and a native English speaker from England. I believe that the best way to learn a new language is to be immersed in its culture. As someone who grew up in London, I am happy to teach you about English culture in our lessons. I also want to make sure that you achieve your goal, whether that is getting into an English university, passing a language exam or simply learning something new. I am here to help you with your writing and speaking, but above all, to make sure you enjoy learning or perfecting a new language!
Francesca
Italian, French and English language tutoring and private classesPrivate tutoring classes for young children, teenagers, adults and seniors who would like to:
> Learn Italian, French and/or English from scratch
> Do homework with the support of a tutor
> Improve and perfect their language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading)
> Prepare for language certifications such as PET, FIRST, TOEFL, DELF, admission exams...
> Practice their skills in fun conversations and/or for special occasions
About Francesca: I graduated as a translator and interpreter from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and I lived in different countries where I perfected my accent and pronunciation and I also learnt about the local culture (specifically Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, UK, the US).
I love foreign languages and cultures and my goal is to pass this enthusiasm on to my students as they also learn "boring" grammar rules. For me it's all about helping you find a method of language learning that makes it easy for you to remember new words and correct grammar.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Bartolomeu
English (ESL) and Portuguese language tutoring for adultsAlthough I am a trained philosophy teacher for secondary students, I have shifted my focus to tutoring English and Portuguese language learners. My goal is to provide dynamic classes that allow students to use functional language in real-world ways, but each class can be tailor-made to the individual's needs. I use Cambridge materials for my English classes, in addition to real-world texts and videos, to train students on grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. Student-centered classes are the most beneficial in my opinion, so I focus on having the student speak while also guiding them with the correct language depending on their problem areas.

English lessons with experienced and qualified native speaker.I am a native English speaker from Ireland currently studying MSc Psychology at Leiden University. I received a grade A1 in my Leaving Certificate English studies and my BA degree includes a specialisation in English. I also have experience teaching English as a second language in both Spain and Zambia. I am available for lessons after lectures and during weekends. The lessons can be held in a location that suits you or via Skype, etc. if necessary.
These lessons can be for students of any level who want extra support in English acquisition or improvement. As the student you can choose which areas you would most like to focus on and I can structure the lessons with this in mind. This can include areas such as grammar, conversation, vocabulary, and much more. We can discuss together how best I can help you to improve your language skills based on your needs, for example through help with homework or setting additional homework.
If the hours shown do not suit you let me know as my lecture hours vary slightly each week and I may be able to fit you in. If you have any questions at all don't hesitate to message me.
