My name is Iris and I am an English teacher for kids, high school students, college and working adults for over 2 years.
My hobbies are singing and playing my ukulele.
I love teaching English with music because it can help children learn the sounds and meanings of words and
allowing them to practice self-expression. I help young children to learn the basics of the English language, from the alphabet to simple words and sentences. For junior students I teach the basic concepts of English grammar needed to speak and write accurately. The topics include sentence structure, verb tenses, prepositions, and other exercises to help students improve their pronunciation.
I believe my teaching experience and passion for engagement make me an ideal tutor.
I have experience teaching elementary-level students in a variety of settings.
I am currently teaching children ages from 6-12 and working adults from China and European countries. As a former worker in customer service, I acquired technical skills in using multiple software systems and honed my English communication skills through phone calls and email writing.
I think my varied experiences can cater to working adults who are trying to find time in their busy work life to develop their English skills. It is my goal to combine my wide range of experience with my ability as a compassionate, enthusiastic and a smart teacher that can provide a positive contribution to your English proficiency.

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!

Hi, I'm Franci. I'm an all-around but one of my favourite things is to teach and spread my passion for languages and cultures. I studied translation and intercultural communication, collecting moves around 5 countries.
I have many experiences as private teacher of Italian, English and German for kids, teenagers and adults. My biggest satisfaction so far has been to see a girl hating the German language at the beginning, ending up pursuing a university path in German!
What is important for me as a teacher: I want to understand your motivation and need for learning or getting better in a language. My methods will be tailored to your needs, interest, and learning skills.

¡Hola! I’m Paul from Venezuela. I’ve been living in France since 2012, where I work as a fully qualified Spanish teacher at the university level, with up-to-date training.
I have extensive experience preparing students for DELE, SIELE, Bright, and CLOE exams, as well as general Spanish practice.
I specialize in helping students improve their Spanish pronunciation and grammar, assisting many in developing a more natural and fluid way of speaking.
I have worked for various universities and associations for over 10 years. Currently, I teach online for CoLanguage and engineering schools in France, mainly to university and high school students.
My sessions focus on encouraging students to use Spanish effectively, building their confidence, and helping them find their own natural way of expressing themselves in my language.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Paul

I have been living in Switzerland for 14 years, where I work as a teacher and translator. I am a native Italian speaker. I obtained the federal qualification for teaching adults and also completed a Master's degree in teaching Italian as a foreign language at the Università Cattolica of Milan. I am a teacher of Italian at middle schools in Zurich and also work at language schools. I am a CELI certification examiner.

Learning a new language can be fun! I use a pragmatic, inductive and communicative approach so I can speak without fear. I have a deep knowledge of Italian and German grammar. I also work with authentic materials, comics and videos. Learn Italian also through lessons on art, culture and food and wine! For business Italian courses, I can also devote lessons inherent to the relevant terminology.

My name is Quennie Ann Alburo, 24 years of age.

I graduated with a bachelor's in Elementary Education from J.H Cerilles State College last 2018 and passed the licensure examination for teachers in the same year.

I am also pursuing my master's degree at Southern Mindanao Colleges.
I also acquired my TESOL and TEYL which qualifies me to teach learners English as their second language

I have been teaching English as a second language for over 3 years.

I was able to teach from zero-level learners to advance learners, as my students' age ranged from 3 years old to 60 years old.

I like teaching a variety of students because that way I will be able to master handling different kinds of learners ad address their needs appropriately.

I am using the student-center and communicative approach in teaching my students because I want my students to learn at their own pace, at the same time they will also learn how to communicate.

With these qualifications, I am confident to quality in your company. as I am very willing to enhance my skills especially in teaching English as a second language.
