¡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!

My name is Debi and I’m from Germany. I am an A1 to C2 level German teacher and have 5 years of teaching experience.
During my studies of educational science, I gave individual tutoring and helped students to catch up on their learning as well as to improve their performance results.
Furthermore, I offered German language courses to adults of various educational and professional backgrounds and helped them to achieve their desired learning goals. Many of my students started as beginners and were able to reach C1 level in less than 12 months.
The students gave me as feedback that I can convey knowledge content well and understandably.
For this reason, I want to help you to increase your level of German in a very short time.

Teaching materials:
• Deutsch Hören & Sprechen
• Grammatik & Wortschatz
• Worksheets

My lessons:
My teaching style is a mix of direct learning and task-based learning.
In my lessons, you are encouraged to always speak, so that you can learn the language naturally. If you make mistakes, I will gently correct you. From time to time, you will be able to improve your German-speaking skills. You will also be asked to write short essays about a certain topic or a special event in your life. This can be done as homework or during the lessons, if there is still some time left for it.
Furthermore, you will complete a variety of image and video-based assignments which will help you to acquire new structures, forms, and vocabulary in German.

I have 7 years teaching experience. I hold TEFL Certification and Teaching qualifications. I use TPR as my method of teaching (Total Physical Response), where my learners not only learn but also enjoy the lesson as they are involved and participate fully.
I have experience in teaching young Learners and special needs Learners, as these Learners need much attention and stimulation through out the Lesson, I make sure all lessons conducted are prepared fully prior to the Lesson being conducted.

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

My lessons are based on a singular approach that is personalized, so my method is always different and planned considering students's goals and skills. So, if you want to prepare a literature exam, or a grammar test, or improving your conversation's capabilities, you will have a personal lesson and a big empathy with your teacher. I will be glad to offer you a free lesson.

Bonjour,

My name is Hermione.

I have been working in English Language Teaching (ELT) since 2012. I have taught General English, Business English and Exam Preparation courses to learners of all ages and levels.

I have worked as an English teacher in England, France and Greece and as a corporate trainer on Amazon, France.

I have more than 6 years of experience in Education management. I have a BA in Balkan Studies and an MBA.

My native language is Greek and I can also speak German and Romanian. I am currently working on improving my French.

As a teacher, I believe every student deserves the opportunity to learn at their own individual pace, let curiosity direct their learning, and participate in hands-on activities that encourage growth.

My lessons are fun, creative, challenging and rewarding. I really like to tailor my lessons to suit your needs, motivation and interests.

Always remember that to learn a language is to have one more window to look at the world.

Hope to see you soon in my class!
