    English, Grade 4-9, National Test Prep, Adult learners welcome!

    I've been living in Stockholm for three years, working at one of the best English speaking schools in the city as the Head of English. I understand the Swedish education system very well and would be happy to help either Grade 6 or Grade 9 preparations for Nationella Prov. I also have experience working with English curriculum or the Cambridge curriculum.

    I would also be happy to help tutor adults who need some help practicing their spoken, written or read English.

    I believe when you tutor, you have be relaxed, make the lessons engaging and fun, and really make the student understand how much help some one on one time with a tutor can be. I like to use modern teaching techniques, make the lessons as active and engaging as possible and really make the time valuable and well spent for all.

    I have tutored in England, and am happy to be as flexible as you need me - either travelling to you, or hosting lessons at my apartment.

    Extra information

    I could provide a laptop but it would be easier if you bring your own. All resources will be provided by me, as well as excellent English and plenty of fun!

    About Me

    Hello!
    Welcome!
    Thanks for checking out my page. My name is James, I am originally from the North West of England, a small Roman city called Chester. I’ve been living in Stockholm for three years now, and I have been consistently impressed with Stockholm, the Swedish people and Sweden in general.

    For me- learning English is all about communicating well. I like to do this in as many different active ways as possible. Whether it is silly speaking games, using things you are interested in, new medias like YouTube, TikTok, reading some classic literature - I like to adapt my lessons to suit you. Whether it’s improving your reading, writing, speaking, or just preparing for National Tests, I want to make these lessons work for you. If you are having classes outside of school - they should be interesting and personal not boring and photocopied worksheets. They should be engaging and fun and make you want to learn! That is why I try to offer. In terms of what I’d like from you as as student? Very simple! Just someone who wants to learn English, and is willing to be honest with me if you’re finding something tricky or boring.

    I studied English Literature at a top 10 Red Brick University in England, then completed a Masters in English Literature before going back to University to become a teacher. I completed my qualifications, worked at a school in England for one year then moved to Stockholm (blame Brexit and Boris!) I have worked as the Head of English at one of Stockholm’s best International English Schools for two and a half of these years.

    I love connecting with young people and getting to know them, and to help them develop their love for language. As a specialism, I work best with bilingual learners- and I like to use a variety of tried and tested methods to improve speaking in English. In my spare time, I read and write all the time, and I love trying to instil the same love of reading in my students.

    As I explained above, I am a firm believer that if you tutor in a student’s spare time, the lessons should be valuable. All I can promise with me is - no boring, worksheet lessons which clearly are not personalised. I will discuss what you need from me, and try and make the lessons as active, fun, valuable as possible.

    I can work developing English from Grades 4-9.
    National test preparation in Grade 6-9.
    Support in Gymnasium for essay writing skills in English.
    Adult language learners.

    If you have any questions - please mail me! I will be happy to answer any questions you might have!

    Education

    I achieved a degree in English Literature from Lancaster University, then a Masters in English from Lancaster University. I then completed a Masters of Education, making me a qualified teacher.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I worked in two schools in England for the year after I qualified as a teacher of English before moving to Stockholm. Since moving to Stockholm, I have worked as an English teacher for 3 years, and the Head of English for 2 and a half years.

    Spanish lessons from a Native Speaker who speaks also English, German and French.
    I am originally from Costa Rica, but I have lived in 6 different countries. Spanish is my mother tongue, but I speak English, French, and German. I also know some Swedish, Hebrew, and Czech. Having studied so many languages and assisted to different language schools, I can identify myself with being a student and try my best to adapt to each person's needs and desires. I used to give private Spanish classes at a beginner level in Berlin. As a person, I am very outgoing and social, and I enjoy making classes fun and dynamic. I can focus on grammar, vocabulary, or conversation, it all depends on what the goals of the student are.

    I take remote Arabic lessons for all levels. I take remote Arabic sessions for all levels. I provide extensive online Arabic classes.
    Hello! My name is Abdrahman, from Nigeria. I have studied Arabic language (including reading, writing, listening and speaking skills). I also studied Quran & it's sciences, Tajweed, and other Islamic studies for more than fourteen years. I have studied Arabic from the International Open University and Arabic Institute. Currently, I'm also an Undergraduate student of Islamic Studies Education in the University of Lagos, Akoka. I also study under the tutelage of Sheikh Raslān from Egypt. I am a tutor of modern standard Arabic, classical Arabic (the language of Quran and Hadith) and colloquial Arabic ('āmiyyah). I love teaching Arabic because it is a very important language of Islam. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said we should love Arabic language because: he is an Arabic, the holy Quran is in Arabic language and the language of the paradise dwellers is Arabic. I also love teaching Arabic language because it is the fifth most spoken language in the world. It is the official language of 26 countries including 5 of the wealthiest countries in the world. And it's sixth most spoken language in the world. Learning such a language will avail you to the discovery of most interesting cultures in today's world. It will also look good in your resume. With Arabic language, you'll become a polyglot and you will be able to adapt to the environments of Arab. As a Muslim, with Arabic language, you'll have thorough understanding of Quran and Sunnah. I have been tutoring Arabic and Islamic Studies since 2014 both online and offline till date. I tutor the learners between the ages of 5 - 80. The focus of my instruction is on all the important skills of the language (reading, writing, listening and speaking), grammar and vocabulary development. With these, you'll be able to intermingle with Arabic speaking people in any Arab environment you find yourself and of course, you'll have yourself prepared and fit for any formal exam. I am also certified to instruct in the memorization of Quran, the sciences of Quran like different versions of Quranic recitation (riwāyāt), the exegesis of Quran (tafsīr), e.t.c I have syllabus and materials for tutoring Arabic efficiently within a period of six to twelve months. I'm well experienced in tutoring with these books: ➡️ I love Arabic ➡️ Lessons in Arabic language ➡️ Nūrul bayān ➡️ Iqrā' qirā'tī ➡️ Qā'idāh Nūrāniyyah ➡️ Qā'idāh Makkiyyah ➡️ Qā'idāh Baghdādiyyah ➡️ Arabic in your hands ➡️ Tuhfatul Atfāl ➡️ Exegesis of Ibn Kathīr e.t.c I also have experience in teaching English language and Philosophy. Learning English language helps in developing ideas and communicating them. I would be glad to be your tutor in this journey, choose me and you will not regret it. See you in my class! I have 7 years of teaching experience. I'm a certified Arabic and English teacher. I have TESL and simplified Arabic certification. My teaching method is philosophical, experimental and persuasive. My teaching approach is simple to complex.

    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!

    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.
