B, C, Ch, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, Ll, M, N, Ñ, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z

Hello, everyone,
I am Marcella, a native Italian who has moved to Switzerland to study.
I have a degree in Ancient Literature with a focus on archaeology, and in Italy I am qualified to teach literary classes.
I am doing a PhD in archaeology at the University of Bern, where I teach every two semesters.
I prefer to teach one-to-one or in pairs in order to make the most of my time and focus on people's needs. I prepare targeted courses, which is why I offer a trial lesson to establish the future course of the lessons.
Lessons are usually always mixed, conversation and grammar using audio, video and text material. Depending on the speed at which the student intends to progress, homework assignments are structured.
Try it for yourself! I look forward to seeing you online!

I've been studying with Montse for about 6-7 weeks now. So far I have found her to be a fantastic teacher. She is very professional, fun and engaging. There is a very clear structure and method to her teaching, which I think is important! Never a dull lesson either. I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone looking for a very competent teacher. I was previously learning Spanish with a teacher on Live Lengua and have found Monste to be a giant leap in terms of the quality.

Hi, I'm Francesca
I have been teaching Italian to adults since 2010, individual and group lessons. I have a degree in English and French, and I have a diploma of interpreter in German. In the summer I teach Italian in full immersion courses in Tuscany, where I live.
I really enjoy helping people to learn more not only about Italian as a language but also the rich Italian culture.
Usually I divide my lessons into three parts: a bit of grammar (which is unfortunately very useful...but I can teach you some tricks to learn without much effort!), a listening/reading comprehension part usually with videos, songs, docs about Italy and then ... we talk about Italy!
I will provide all material, and I'll send them by email.

Hi.
My name is Manie.
My interests are Travel and Languages. I have learned different languages and use them wherever possible. I have lived in different parts of the world for more than 10 years in which I taught at American High Schools and Elementary Schools.
I have experience in teaching the following subjects: English, Social Studies and Human Geography. I have a TEFL Certificate and a Teaching English Online Certificate. I have also completed 7 Cambridge English Training Courses and I am continuing my studies to keep my brain active.
I prefer an Interactive Teaching Style where both the student and the teacher can learn from each other. Interactive learning is a hands-on approach to help students become more engaged and retain more material. It also helps students strengthen problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
I am enthusiastic about teaching and I love it. I hope to help you learn English and share some of my experiences with you. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello, Spanish learner! I am Isabel, your Spanish teacher.
I am a professional online Spanish teacher for 3 years. I am a native speaker from Colombia.
My lessons are completely in Spanish because I want you to speak as much as possible. During my lessons, we will focus on conversation and pronunciation. But a typical lesson also contains a vocabulary topic and a grammar topic.
I will focus on your needs and your mistakes to improve your Spanish as quickly as possible. In the first lesson, we will do a level test to check your current level (CEFR A1, A2, B1, B2, C1)
If you would like to improve your Spanish, learn more about the South American culture, gastronomy and traditions, I am your teacher! Or if you just want to talk in Spanish, about any subject you like, I would be happy to meet you online.
Send me a message and I will provide you a 30-minute free trial lesson!
See you online on Skype.
Your Spanish teacher, Isabel

I'm an English language teacher for more than 15 years with CELTA ( Cambridge English Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages); for sure, my lessons are active and updated. I can work with different levels mostly with adults.
I've been teaching lessons on line since October 2019 using Zoom.
Students' participation is maximised in my language lessons, for sure they are student-centred; in other words, I ensure plenty of student talking time through the use of communicative activities and consistent pair checks, clarifying the target language to an appropriate depth and in a student-centred way.
Come and join my classes, you´ll never feel like regreting your decision!!!
