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!

I have been a teacher for many years and I have worked for many schools, following different types of courses online or by companies. I also lived in the UK for 15 years where I graduated and worked as a biologist in London.
I use my own didactic material or suggested by the schools. I usually test the level at the beginning and then plan with the students the goals they want to achieve. After that with every lesson I check progress and points to review with the help of a log to have a clear plan in every lesson.

Didier is a native French ! He is teaching French to foreign people since many years. He used to teach online so he knows perfectly how structure and adapt a lesson for students. You can learn French by doing oral and writing comprehension, grammar and exercises and having conversations to practice your French pronunciation. His learning tools are very diversified and attractive ! I recommend him !

I am very happy to have Katarzyna as a czech teacher. The lessons are well prepared. She suggests conversations and then listens carefully to me. She asks me to repeat what I could not explain clearly with my own words and then corrects me. After each lesson, I take away some useful words or expressions for everyday situations.
Katarzyna S.Thanks a lot for your review! Patrick is also a very attentive and motivated student. :)

Hello, my name is Juraj (George) and I am from Australia. I have a passion for teaching and although I am an engineer by profession I also have studied a course in Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
I spent 2 years in China teaching children English in kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools. In my second year of teaching, I also taught university students and adult classes.
After learning so much about the local culture and making friends up there, I have realized, that I want to learn more about different cultures and went to Europe to teach English.
I spent 8 years over there teaching school children, university students, young professionals, and corporate business owners. I made a lot of friends at the same time.
Now I am back in Australia and because of the current travel restrictions, I would like to continue teaching online. What can I offer? Many years of experience teaching different nationalities, age groups, and educational levels.
I can improve your English pronunciation, IELTS test preparation, advise you on how to study in Australia, which university to choose, students visas advice plus fulfilling your individual English language needs, including English for engineers.
Also, I might be able to assist you with advice on travel, employment, or immigration issues.
I look forward to meeting you soon. Cheers!

About me
Hi everyone. My name is Valerio and I'm a native Italian speaker who was born and raised in Turin, Italy. I love philosophy, meditation, and everything related to self-development. In my spare time, I also enjoy watching movies, learning languages, and spending time with my friends.
My experience
I have been teaching online for two years, with about 1000 lessons with 60 students.
My price now is promotional here because I am starting and I'd like to increase my number of students and lessons.
On other platforms, my price is about $ 35 - 40 /h.
So do not hesitate to take advantage of my promotion and see you soon! :)
Teaching Approach
I think that human contact is essential when you teach. I need to put students in a comfortable and trusting environment. You have to talk: the most you speak, the best mistakes and you can improve.
I'm patient and friendly: the primary and most important reason for this type of class is to find an opportunity to practice. Therefore, you need someone who understands you, who will not feel embarrassed to talk with, especially if you are a beginner.
The content of the class is flexible: students have different backgrounds and learning styles. So we will discuss and set your learning targets to tailor our lessons to your unique needs.
If you don't have specific preferences, I like you if you speak about what you are interested in: I believe that languages are not an end in themselves. While you talk, I write the corrections, and you can see them live, but you are not interrupted, and you can talk freely and just like talking to a friend.

Hello everyone!
I am Manon, French by birth, currently living in Costa Rica.
I love meeting new people and I am curious to discover your life path and discuss what you are passionate about.
During a class, I take the time to take an interest in my students and help them to speak naturally.
The conversation can be about a topic you’d like to talk about, or we can use a video, an audio, or an image and discuss around this support.
I want you to feel comfortable so, no pressure, we’re here to have fun and learn.
I look forward to meeting you, so feel free to try a free trial course ;)

I am a teacher of Italian to Speakers of Other Languages with many years of experience in teaching in public and private schools. I have taught Italian to speakers of other languages in schools, in migratory contexts and in vocational training at all levels (from pre A1 to C2 ). I have gained experience as a teacher with Arabic-speaking, Slavic-speaking, German-speaking, French-speaking, Spanish-speaking, Sinophone, Lusophone and Anglophone students, and have taught literacy courses for asylum seekers and refugees. I did a training internship as a lecturer in Italian at the Department of Romance at the University of Salzburg. I completed my training by teaching Italian to learners with special educational needs. Moreover, I am a CILS, CELI and PLIDA examiner for the speaking part. I also speak German, English and French and I successfully completed my Celta in October 2020.
My lessons focus mainly on two aspects: oral and written production and the study of grammar, with particular attention to phonetic and phonology. My lessons are aimed at satisfying the needs of the learner and are prepared according to the needs of each one.
