Hi everybody, my name is Tra My, I have been living in Barcelona for 5 years. I speak Spanish, English, Vietnamese, a little Portuguese and Chinese. I have 4-year experience of teaching Vietnamese language to foreigners. However, I think language is not enough. If you would like to travel, study, work, live in Vietnam, or just look for a Vietnamese partner, you need to know more about Vietnamese culture. Additionally, I was working as a lawyer in Vietnam, so I can advise you on how to start a business in Vietnam and obtain residency permits. We will talk together about it in my classes. I will accompany you from knowing nothing about Vietnam until you can negotiate the price with the Vietnamese people :) I look forward to seeing you in my classes!

Do you want to improve your Bulgarian or English language skills? Look no further! My name is Todor and I’m from Bulgaria. I've graduated university from University of Leeds, United Kingdom and I’m also certified in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). I enjoy teaching languages to both beginners and intermediate level learners. I am also a certified nutritionist, so I can help you practice nutrition and health related English. I love playing the guitar, travelling, learning new languages and activities that keep me physically active, such as hiking, table tennis and weightlifting.
I am passionate about teaching because I can share my knowledge with others, which I find very rewarding. My personal experience learning new languages allows me to put myself in my student’s position and understand their point of view. I am kind and patient, so I make my students feel relaxed throughout the lessons. I also make every teaching hour interesting and exciting in order to keep my students engaged and motivated.

Hello everyone!
My name is Lucia and I have been teaching English for 13 years now.
I am a CELTA and CELTYL qualified senior language trainer, a mentor and a qualified teacher trainer as well.
I absolutely love teaching English in a fun, engaging manner that is appealing to all my students. I like discussing all lessons with students so that each course can meet their needs at every moment.
Lessons should be relaxing, motivating and enjoyable and I always like to hear my students say at the end of the lesson:
"Hey! Teacher! When did this lesson finish? It feels like we've just started!"
So, if you would like to learn English, prepare for your Cambridge exam, or just improve your communications skills I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU ALL.
See you all during the lessons!

Hello All,
It is nice to meet you and I would be more than glad to discuss your learning goals in a trail lesson of 30 minutes so we could know each other better. I have a level 3 award in Education by YMCA, where I have planned and delivered a lesson on the topic Bulgarian alphabet to English students. On the other hand I am currently finishing my study in Bulgarian Linguistics and Literature at the Sofia's university. I spent a few years in England where I have been a Learning assistant for ESOL classes, which is teaching English as a second language. I also have a degree from University of Sheffield in Business Administration.
Before starting the lessons we will have to do an assessment to see the level of the student. Once this is done and our goals are set, even if it is for a few lessons only, we will adapt the student centered methodology. The lessons will be interactive, with a participative style -grammar rules will be discussed, speaking , writing and vocabulary.
For English -Cambridge books
For Bulgarian- filmcards , cards with pictures and names in Bulgarian. Printed materials in regards to Bulgarian language.
Lessons will be delivered in English or/and Bulgarian.

Привіт! Мене звати Олександра, та друзі й рідні кличуть мене Саша.
Я - українка, народилась в Україні й проживаю тут усе своє життя. Крім того, я - магістр української філології, дипломована вчителька української мови та літератури.
Тому я прийшла на colanguage, щоб передати любов до своєї рідної мови якомога більшій кількості людей. Хочете вивчити українську? Або ж просто спробувати, а що як сподобається? Чи просто підтримати мій народ та культуру у цей важкий період російської агресії? Я тут, щоб вам допомогти!
Нас намагаються стерти з лиця землі, та ми незламні. Допоки наша мова існуватиме, допоки її будуть вивчати ... ми будемо! Бо в серці маєм те, що не вмирає..
Hey, my name is Oleksandra, but friends and family calls me by short name Sasha.
In 2020, I've obtained a Master's degree in Philology, diploma & additional certificate which says I can teach Ukrainian Language & Literature, as well as English both for children and adults.
My experience in educational field is 5 years:
-a teacher-trainee of in a public school (2 years);
-a tutor for teens and adults (3 years);
I provide lessons according to your wishes. If you need more grammar - we'll focus and work on it. If you want to develop your speaking skills - no problem. My rule is an individual approach to every student.
Hope weʼll become good friends and have a lot of fun on our lessons!
Looking forward to see you on my first free trial lesson!

If you ought to be interested in learning Ukrainian or Russian then Sasha is definitely the teacher for you to consider! That's what I did. Being a student of Russian at my local community college I quickly grew more and more interested in the Ukrainian culture and language. I scheduled a free trial lesson with Sasha here on the platform and was convinced right away. Sasha has perfect knowledge both of the Ukrainian and the Russian language. In my impression Sasha finds a way of getting her knowledge across that is both very effective and convenient. She really cares about her students! Her english is perfectly intelligible and I have no difficulties communicating with her whatsoever. Of course learning a new language is a long and demanding process which everybody should be aware of. But I am confident that I have found here the best teacher that I could have asked for and I am definitely looking forward to many more lessons with Sasha!
Sasha M.Thank you for the kind words, Misha! Happy to be your linguistic guide ;)

Hello everyone and a big warm welcome to all the fellow language learners,
My name is Katerina, I’m a native Russian speaker and a foreign language teacher from St Petersburg, Russia. I’ve always been addicted to learning foreign languages, be it English, German, Spanish, Turkish or Arabic, so turning my passion into my job was just a matter of time. I have a Master’s degree in linguistics which taught me to understand the way the mechanism of a language works and thus to help my students see the logics behind the grammar rules. Being a constant language learner enables me to see the process from both sides and to predict the difficulties my students might face. The fact that I’m not a native speaker of English or German means I’ve been through exactly the same language-learning journey you’re about to take, and thanks to my personal experience as a student, I can make this road smooth for you.
I've had students of all ages, from pre-school kids to senior generation, and I feel comfortable working with both beginners and those who are eager to take their learning process to a new level. In my classes I encourage you to talk in the language we’re studying as much as possible, putting every single bit of knowledge into practice right away. If you’re a Russian-learner, I’d be glad to prove it to you that you can absolutely nail my mother-tongue - and yes, you’ll be able to make a small talk in Russian by the end of the first class even if you’re an absolute beginner! We’ll be focusing on the topics that are most relevant to your goals, while discovering the language and getting to know more about the culture of people who speak it.
I offer a short free trial class, for us to give each other a smile and discuss our teaching pattern, in order to ajust it to your goals and make our lessons the bee's knees :) See you soon!

I met Katerina in April 2019. Until this moment, I studied only from a textbook and with audio files. I knew that I needed practice and direction, and I found Katerina's profile on the platform. She works as a teacher for the Russian language, but she also studied German studies at the university, that is, she could help me with my favorite textbook. And so she did. It is very pleasant for me, she looked at the textbook and agreed to work it with me. But that’s not all for a long time. Not only did she prepare additional exercises, but I also wrote a list of what I wanted to develop (dates, numbers, verbs of movement, etc.) and we did all this. It is important for her that the student not only follows the textbooks, but also teaches daily things. So she prepared the material, like videos, polls, on those we worked on. Thank you so much dear teacher.
