English Classes in San Francisco, CA

Certified Teacher + Language Coach helping you make learning effective and sustainable for life✨️ I'm glad you're here! I have 6 years of teaching experience, and am largely self taught in 10 languages w/ a degree in German + 150-hour TEFL certification. I understand linguistic challenges and psychological struggles that hold us back (perfectionism, self criticism, guilt, heritage languages, etc.). My goal is to help you reach your goals by making your learning effective, sustainable, and enjoyable for life. I structure students' lessons according to learning style and goals, focusing on the whole person they are behind their studies. Therefore, building long term student relationships is very important to my work. I find different ways to explain a concept and understand how to energize my lessons through new material and adapt to your preferred learning style, staying patient, determined and flexible to only offer the best in helping students from A0 to C1. I will avoid using English as much as possible and urge my students to do the same, unless otherwise noted. I will adapt our conversations to what you enjoy talking about and/or specific grammar points. I give homework when requested, usually PDFs, slides, or other resources for grammar, writing, listening, and/or reading (if you want to focus on one in particular, let me know!). **When you contact me for a lesson, please include what you believe your level to be, how long you have been learning, your language background, and what type of learner you are.

I have a lot of experience in teaching and tutoring. In Israel I taught in elementary school for two years and when I moved to the states I taught in a Hebrew school, for a few years, all ages as well as private lessons, and tutoring people before Hebrew exams.

I am very patient with my students and won't rest until they will succeed. I believe I can reach my students with my humor and doing the best I can to make the lessons fun. Everyone is welcome, no matter what level you are at. I am committed to your success!

Graduate from two top world universities with over 10 years of experience Hi everyone, I’m Brian McFadden: I'm 38 and have two BA degrees from UC Berkeley in German and Philosophy and I have a masters degree in Classical Languages (Ancient Greek and Latin) from the University of Chicago. I was born and raised in Southern California and am a native speaker of English. I studied Spanish, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek in college. I have been a language tutor for over ten years and have had students from a variety of ages and backgrounds. I’m interested in incorporating linguistics and precise definitions into my lessons in order to have my students learn their target language comprehensively and easily. My teaching mostly involves giving my students a handful of words from the target language and having them use those words to speak in complete sentences. We then gradually build on these sentences by adding new words and grammatical concepts throughout the lesson. Additionally, I incorporate listening, reading, and writing through audio clips and music, reading quotes from famous authors, and writing exercises.

I also work professionally as a writer, which gives me a strong understanding of communication, vocabulary, and effective English usage. My lessons are relaxed, supportive, and customized to your goals. I believe students learn best when they're comfortable, engaged, and discussing topics that genuinely interest them. Some of my interests include: • American culture • Literature and writing • Music and singing • Fitness and nutrition • Travel • Food • Video games • Current events I specialize in teaching adults (18+) from the A2-C2 levels.

Please check out Udemy's English course Amber & Nikki's English conversations and test prep! Motivating language students online can be a difficult task since you don't get to meet them in person. In general, I don't believe it's effective to assign numerous grammar lessons. My lesson plan for the beginner to intermediate learners focuses on conversational Japanese, practicing repetition of sentences describing their daily lives in present or past tenses. This would build their vocabulary and grammatical skills in the process. Through my lessons, students have demonstrated to be more fluent and motivated.

Be a more confident English speaker this year! Come talk to me! Just like chatting with a friend! I started tutoring adults who have dyslexia. I have been trained in the Barton System that teaches phonetics and helps students learn to read. It takes lots of patience, but I really enjoyed helping them learn. I started tutoring English to non-native speakers about 2 years ago. When the pandemic came to the U.S. in March 2020, I couldn't see my students face to face anymore and that made me very sad. Then I discovered iTalki, so now I help students with their conversation skills online! It's great!

Certified professional English teacher (CELTA, B.A.-English) and native speaker I really enjoy getting to know my students—not only in terms of their linguistic needs and capacities, but also as human beings with interests and experiences vastly different from my own who have a lot to teach me about life and about the world. I welcome diverse viewpoints and I appreciate honesty and humility. Humility is extremely important when you’re learning, because learning involves making mistakes. I know this can be intimidating, so I will always try to create a safe and familiar space in which you can feel comfortable taking risks and trying new things in English, knowing that if you do make a mistake, I can help you turn it into an excellent learning opportunity.

Hello! I'm Jeremy, a native English speaker from America. I've lived in various states, but the states I've lived in the longest are New Jersey and Texas. I've also lived in The Philippines for a year. My hobbies include music, video games, anime, and technology. I also like to cook whenever I have the time. Currently, I'm living in Texas and pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science. Nakakaintindi ako ng Tagalog pero hindi pa po ako magaling sa pagsasalita. Pasensiya na po! 数年間前に独学で日本語を勉強し始めました。言語力まだまだですが、少なくとも日常会話できます。今まで日本に２回行ったが事あります。次の機会を楽しみにしています！よろしくお願いします。 One of my main goals is to help others be more motivated to learn English, especially through personal interests and hobbies. I also love learning about new cultures while sharing my own. The way I teach will be purely conversational. I do not use textbooks when teaching, but you are more than welcome to bring your own! If you have any specific questions on things like grammar, I would be glad to answer them. I accept students of all levels. Having conversations as a beginner it may be difficult, but don't worry! I am here to slowly help you get used to speaking. It's more important to enjoy communicating rather than getting everything perfect.
