Friendly and patient experienced teacher with British accent and kind approach I’m a certified British English teacher with a passion for helping learners thrive in real-world communication. I specialise in ESOL and Functional Skills English, and can help you navigate daily life, prepare for exams, or master workplace language. My experience has taught me that language isn’t just grammar; it’s ordering coffee confidently, debating ideas, or cracking jokes with locals. We constantly seek, and need, connection with others and with a shared language we can achieve that and so much more! I have taught students from all around the world, of all ages, and all levels. I love the way I can travel the world while sitting at my own desk! In 2018 I achieved my professional teaching qualification and I have experience teaching children, teenagers, and adults. I have taught general English classes, exam preparation (Trinity, City & Guilds, Cambridge, and GESE) and conversational classes. I will create a personalised lesson for you, specific to your level and what you want to achieve. This will always be based on a communicative approach: learning by speaking and listening. We can focus on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation; and we can also work on the skills that you would like to improve: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. I would like to hear from you, what your hobbies and interests are, so that I can plan interesting and relevant lessons. So, what are you waiting for? Let's get learning!

English Tutor for All Levels | Teaching Since 2020 I use a combination of teaching methods, mainly Total Physical Response (TPR) and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). TPR is especially effective for beginners and is used alongside CLT to build confidence and understanding. Lessons are flexible and tailored to your needs — from learning numbers and the alphabet to grammar, pronunciation, writing, article analysis, or exam preparation. I also help with real-life English, such as ordering food, shopping, and everyday conversations. And yes — we can talk about anything.

Certified TEFL (Level 5 Diploma) teacher with over 3 years of teaching experience. Hello, I am a South African English and Afrikaans community tutor and I live in Cairns, Australia. I have an interest in topics based around current news and music. I like to laugh and get to know different types of people from all over the world. I am patient and will do extra effort to ensure that my students reach their full potential. I like fun and interesting topics as an inspiration for my lessons. The use of news articles or song lyrics as a bases of discussion seems like a fun way to go. I like to discuss topics that the student would enjoy. This will hopefully encourage them with the target language as they have a bigger interest in the topics. I like to give an assignment at the end of the lesson so that we can discuss it in the beginning of each new lesson and build on what they have learnt in the previous lessons. I am open to focus on any of the aims that my students want to achieve by the end of their lessons.

The Blueprint I used to learn 7 languages and adapt across 9 countries. French native living in Mendoza. I jumped from country to country all my life—from the UK and Brazil to India and Germany—learning 7 languages along the way through real-world integration, not classrooms. This allowed me to build a distinct framework: viewing languages as a dynamic architecture. A sum of small, practical bricks you lay down smoothly to build a bridge into a new culture. The main issue when you try to use a new language in professional or relocation environments isn't your vocabulary. It's the friction. You memorize the textbook, but when you enter a real conversation, the cultural nuances and local subtext don't flow. Your brain blocks because the input feels disconnected from reality. Eight years of coaching taught me one thing: we need to make the process completely frictionless. We skip the academic drills. We use your existing languages as a safety net to break down the exact conversational structures and social reflexes you need to blend in, adapt, and speak real French, daily. Ready to build?

🇬🇧🏳️🌈 Relaxed English conversation | Talk naturally, build confidence Hello, I'm Sam! 👋 My lessons focus mainly on conversation, speaking confidence and fluency. I want you to feel comfortable using English in real life – not just answering questions from a textbook. We can work on the soft skills that are often difficult to practise in a classroom: small talk, keeping conversations going, expressing opinions, telling stories, asking questions and finding the right words naturally. I see myself more as a conversation facilitator and a friend rather than a teacher. I don't believe every lesson needs a fixed topic or lesson plan. You can talk about whatever you actually want to talk about, and I'll help guide the conversation, introduce useful vocabulary and expressions, and correct you when it's helpful. I'm very open-minded, so we can talk about almost anything, including: 🌍 Travel & foreign cultures 📰 Current affairs and history 💪 Fitness 🧠 Mindfulness & psychology ❤️ Relationships, family & dating 🎬 Movies & books 🗣️ Language learning I'm a language learner myself and have studied Japanese, Thai and Spanish. I currently live in Thailand, so I know what it's like to be on the other side of the conversation. I want my lessons to feel relaxed and natural, so you can speak without pressure and become more confident over time. Ultimately, I want you to feel like you're having a genuinely interesting conversation while getting better at English along the way.

10 years teaching experience / Phd in education I'm passionate about how people today are learning, about advanced digital technology and authoring tools, as well as various cultures. My view of teaching Chinese aims not just to master the traditional “four skills” through accuracy and fluency, but to develop students' intercultural competence and critical thinking. Except for language itself, my success depends on whether my students are equipped to speak their minds with confidence and to ask critical questions about their own and other cultures. · Provided personalized 1-on-1 Chinese tutoring sessions to over 400 students · Taught C101 (beginner), C201(intermediate), C401 (intermediate and advanced) and X490 (superior) at Indiana University by using the textbooks Integrated Chinese and Anything goes · Former head of IU language workshop tutoring program, recruited, managed, and trained over 200 Chinese tutors, and worked with instructors on online teaching activities I am committed to providing my students with the resources they need to become independent learners, as a facilitator and resource person rather than just a "transmitter" of knowledge. I want to provide my students with language skills and cultures that they may not encounter in the textbook. I try to explain words by modeling how I use them in real-life situations and to shatter the stereotype and update news by providing fun and authentic resources.
