Let's practice "ser" and "estar"

Hello, my name is Allisha. I am 34 years old and I am from South Africa. I am a qualified TEFL teacher. I am also qualified in TEYL, which is teaching English to young leaners. Having both these qualifications makes it easy for me to interact with students from any age group. I am the process of registering to study towards a degree in early childhood development and I am also looking to further my studies in higher certificate in Education - senior phase and intermediate phase. My interests are reading, sport, going on adventures, dancing and learning about other countries and their diverse cultures.
In my spare time I volunteer at animal shelters. My passion is teaching, I have had the most memorable experiences in my years of teaching.
I am a very motivating and enthusiastic person. I put 100% into everything that I do.
My motto in life is that everyone has potential and it just needs to be reached in the right way with the correct direction.
Helping each student reach their goal is my ultimate goal. I belive that the way a student is taught impacts how they remember, in saying that, my way of doing this is at the comfort of my student

My name is Anna and I graduated in 2016 from Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona with a BA in English and Spanish Studies and a Master in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language in Universidad de Barcelona and Universidad Pompeu Fabra.

I worked as Spanish teacher in different languges schools and I also made collaboration as an Online Spanish teacher with Groningen University. In all my experiences as a teacher I have always tried to make students enjoy classes as much as possible so that their learning is positive.

In my classes I try to teach in a didactic way based on a more communicative approach although I always adapt to the needs of the students.

If you want to learn Spanish do not hesitate to sign up and we will have a good time;)

My goal is to make you confident and comfortable around others when speaking in English.
My academic qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in Law and a Master of Business Administration. In the last 20 years I have been training people in English from many different industries - including Telecommunications, Publishing, Energy, Financial, Government, Entertainment, Construction, Pharmaceutical, Legal, Logistics. Consultancy, Insurance, Human Resources.
I have helped people prepare for presentations, negotiations, examinations and conducted workshops to assist in how to optimise written and audio communication and informal conversation "small talk".
My methodology depends on you and how you feel you can best learn. For that I would greatly appreciate your input. There are many different learning styles and we have a good forum to use many of them.

Hello everyone! I'm Marta, and I am an Italian teacher. Since the beginning of my career I have worked in contact with foreign languages and Italian. While studying to obtain my master's degree in "Italian language and culture for foreigners", I had the opportunity to work as an Italian language assistant in a foreign University. More recently, I held an Italian course for people who have just arrived in Italy.
My greatest passion is literature, which I avidly read. To pursue this interest I also undertook a post-graduate master in translation, which allowed me to become a Spanish translator and to explore the world of editing by doing an internship at an independent publishing house. I am also fluent in English.
The classes for my students are centred around oral communication and Italian grammar, so I put great effort to exclusively speak Italian and avoid using other languages. I personalise PowerPoint presentations for my students, and I regularly prepare weekly assignments to be revised during the following lesson, in order to encourage individual study. The first class is free and is centred around the interests and needs of the student, in order to create a personalized and engaging program.
Teaching and languages has always been my passion, so if you want to learn or deepen your knowledge of Italian language and culture, do not hesitate to contact me!

Hello everyone! My name is Matias Pizarro, but you can call me Matt. I am 30 years old, and I am from Argentina.

At first, teaching online was a challenge, not for the knowledge, the didactic or the way to get to students, but for the whole new set of resources at my disposal and how to use them effectively. The variety of tricks with the camera, magic, puppets, the limit was my imagination; that feeling was really overwhelming. But, as I said at first, I took this as a challenge, a new way of expanding my inner resourses and finally, widening my understanding about teaching.

Working with kids was the most important and significant choice in my professional career as a teacher, because I discovered the real meaning of being an educator. I understood that it's not just about teaching the subject, but guiding and supporting students; being an inspiring person. I like to comprehend teaching by a very beautiful phrase that stands: Be the person that you needed when you were young.

If you choose me as your teacher, I promise that you will learn a lot of things while having a great time together!

See you in our class! Bye!

Hello,
I have taught English for 30 years at all levels of TESOL in Iran and Belgium as well as helping students for proficiency tests and exams including TOEFL , IELTS, SAT. GMAT, GRE. I have also helped students in editing their graduate theses. I have studied engineering, Teaching English, in the US and Iran.

In my classes students will not only learn English to use in the classroom. Students will learn English to use in real life. I cater my curriculums specifically to my students and their goals. I include lessons and activities to help students learn how to speak, listen to, understand, write, and read the English language. I offer classes for all ages and levels. I use accredited books and sources, however I also use common items seen in the United States as learning tools to give students an authentic experience. I hope to see you in the classroom!
