Hi! My name is Andrea and I am Italian. During the last years I have been living in Spain too, which is for me my second homecountry.
I have been studying languages at university and since I love teaching the languages I speak, I offer you a great language course of Spanish or Italian.
I can assure you great results since I use methods that work with everyone and make you realize how quick can you be when you want to learn a new language, at any level!
Also, since I have been studying many languages, it helps me to understand how to teach correctly a language to a person who doesn't have it as native language.
For me, languages are much more than just a way to communicate with someone else. Also, I think that my passion in this field helps me to transmit to the students the desire to keep studying and learning amazing languages like these.
Contact me and let's have a trial lesson! It's free! :)

Andrea is a fun and enthusiastic teacher! Initially when I entered our first session I was nervous, but I became relaxed very quickly because of his bubbly personality and his patient, calm manner. I look forward to having more classes with him in the future.

Hi. I´m Víctor, your Spanish teacher. Even though I come from Alicante (Spain), I spent the last ten years in Poland. I know not only from my own experience how dificult it is to learn a new langauge. I know how it feels when you don´t speak perfectly and you have to break your fear to actually communicate with a foreigner. I will help you to crush this fear. With me, you can be sure that you will talk without fear.
I don´t have a fixed methodology. I believe in flexibility and adjusting the method to the needs, expectations and goals of each student. You can be sure that with all the materials I have gathered, I will use the most adequate resources to your needs.
For me the most important aspect of learning the language is the communication. I put emphasis on speaking, but I don´t forget about other skills. If you want to prepare yourself for DELE exam, you can count on me. I have experience in preparation (with success) for all levels of DELE.

Hello! My name is Ainhoa, I am Spanish and I live in Bilbao, a city in the north of Spain. I love languages and learning about new cultures, that is why I decided to teach Spanish. I find it very gratifying to see the students improve.
I am patient and cheerful, and I strive to create a comfortable environment where students are not afraid to make mistakes. I am positive and I firmly believe that anyone with effort, perseverance and correct accompaniment can improve.
I am an online Spanish teacher certified by ELE International and I have been teaching Spanish since 2019. In 2020 I formalized my business and became freelance.
In these years, I have studied Spanish grammar thoroughly and I have tried many teaching methods that were taught to me in my training, which has led me to create my own method with what I have seen has given better results. I use spaced repetition, create projects, do real-life rollplays, and have the student come to the correct conclusion on their own using questions. For all this, we will use manuals that will guide your learning, the campus diffusion books.
I have helped students of all levels to improve Spanish until they can speak correctly. Each student learns differently and has their own challenges, so I have learned which resources work best for each person.
In my classes you will find a smily face and a relaxed atmosphere, in which you will feel free to ask questions as much as necessary and to express yourself without fear of mistakes.
See you soon!

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!

I'm a French teacher since 5 years, all levels : from A1 till C2. I usually teach in French Institute (Senegal, Morocco). I'm actually expatriate with my family in Senegal :-)
I'm in love with my job and that a chance ! I get several diplomas on online teaching and I love searching the funniest way to teach French !
Since 2019 I'm also jury for the DELF and the DALF. So if you want to pass those exams I can prepare you to it in the best way :-)
Before becoming a French teacher I was an Engineer in Tourism and Hotels Industry. I did several training in this professional speciality.
Intercultural contacts make me alive we have so much to share : I will make you discover my culture and I hope you will make me discover yours !
Learning French can be fun believe me : gramma games, vocabulary enigmas ; I will try my best to make those lessons entertaining and efficient !
See us soon !

Her French courses are very attractive : you can learn French by games, videos, films extract or traduction.

I practice and adopt methods according to each student’s ability. It involves assignments customised by me, daily one-to-one conversations with my students about different topics, timely tests, picking up suggestions on what is working for the student and what is not working and changing methods which would best fit the student. I’m a Finance Analyst with an experience of more than 3 years in the Corporate Industry. I also take online English classes with the utmost motive of a better community of English Speakers. Mainly based out of Mumbai and Chennai, I also know the language barriers people who work in the Corporate world and the School students face. I am here to help them

I have been an instructor of English as a second language for 8 years now. Teaching students from different countries. I conduct Conversational English classes and Business English classes to students of different skill levels and age levels - from beginner to advance, from kindergarten to professionals. I have won different awards for my exemplary performance including best teacher. I have attended numerous training sessions to enhance skill set, including accent training, grammar training, product training and personality development training. In my own teaching, I apply the conversational approach which can give students powerful potential, having more speaking confidence will allow students to converse on many different topics, which is every language teacher's dream for their students.
