I offer English, Spanish and Italian lessons to both young people and adults. A preparation based on a dynamic and serious learning at the same time, which ranges from grammar, speaking up to literature or cultural contents for the most curious. I am a cultural mediator and translator for the English and Spanish languages. I attended linguistic high school and later obtained a degree in English and Spanish as a cultural mediator in the forensic sector. Languages have always been my passion, in fact I have done various jobs as a translator and interpreter at trade fairs or conferences. I also did some experience abroad, living in a host family, precisely in England, Germany and Spain. I love multicultural contexts in which you can have the opportunity to meet many people of various cultures and speak different languages, because I consider it as an approach between the many cultures that exist. As languages are my biggest passion, for five years I have been teaching English, Spanish and, if necessary, also German. I am a serious person, reliable, punctual, dynamic, sociable and eager to learn and get involved. If you choose me, you won't regret it!

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!

Hello! My name is Deborah! I am a language instructor. I teach Italian, English and Bulgarian. I have more than 15 years teaching experience, both face-to-face and online to individual as well as to small and large groups. At the moment I am teaching Italian in a private school in Sofia, Bulgaria- where I lived for more than 10 years. I teach English to students ready to move to English speaking countries for work, and to students who need Еnglish for their career. I also prepare students for exams (KET, PET, FCE, CAE, CPE), and I offer language courses for communication and travelling purposes.
I attended the College (tourism) in Lucca-Italy. I have a diploma in Secretarial and Business Administration from the South Kensington and Chelsea Collage in London- (I lived in London few years ago). I have a TEFL certificate -grade A.  and an ECL certificate in Bulgarian C1 with 96/100. Therefore, I have a good knowledge of how languages work and I can provide my students with helpful insight. Teaching is my passion, and I am constantly in search for new methods to help my students to get through the challenges and the difficults when learning a new language.
I am an enthusiastic, dedicated and adaptable teacher. I always use the communicative method in my teaching and I try to make my students feel comfortable by creating a funny and relaxed environment.
I hope to see you soon in one of my classes!

Hello all,

I have completed my Bachelors of Science in The Netherlands, and my Masters of Science in the UK. I have thereafter completed my TEFL course in Cambodia and I now teach in Mexico to a kindergarten class for children aged between 4 and 6. We speak and teach English language, conversation, math and reading. I'm aware that every student has their own needs, and know how everybody learns at their own pace. I'd be happy to teach students of all ages at beginners levels the English Language and everything that comes with it. I'm a patient, empathetic person with a lot of energy, but most important to me is that my students improve and succeed!

Let me know if I can help you with this,

I look forward to meeting you all!

My name is Diana. I am a TESOL-certified English and Estonian online teacher with more than 5 years of professional and over 20 years of international voluntary teaching experience. During these years I taught professionally more than 3000 different students by helping them to achieve their goals and dreams. My students were from different age groups, levels and backgrounds.

In my classes, you will feel at ease, have a friendly atmosphere and look forward to your next lessons. My aim is to make classes effective and my goal is to help you to :

* Advance your communication skills
* Boost your communication efficiency by improving your accent and speaking clarity
* Achieve your desired language proficiency fast by using my effective and easy methods.

I tailor my teaching material according to your level and needs. As I strongly believe that no two students are alike and one teaching method that fits all is unfair and ineffective.

Looking forward to meeting you soon and emerging on a learning journey with you.

Hola:

My name is Manuel Rodríguez and I am from Madrid. I am a Spanish teacher with more than ten years experience. I hold a Master Degree of Teaching Spanish and a Honours Degree in Spanish Philology.

I have experience in places such as Queen's University (United Kingdom), adult education centers, schools, banks and embassies. In all these places consider I am a brilliant tutor and I have passion for teaching. References available upon request.

I have experience working with groups from all ages and I have learnt how to create humble and good relationship with students and promote an atmosphere which provides learning and trust. I am proficient in classroom management, as well as use of modern teaching techniques.I also have an in-depth knowledge of creating an interactive atmosphere for students in order to expedite learning

For me, being a Spanish teacher is more than a job. Many times is discussed if a teacher is born or not. I think I have both requirements. For one hand, enthusiasm and patience when I am teaching and for the other, I am skilled at employing a variety of teaching strategies in accordance with students' needs and I have an in-depth knowledge of grammar and Spanish culture.

Regarding teaching method, I am skilled at employing a variety of teaching strategies in accordance with students' needs. For this reason, I use an ecclectic approach. I think this is the best approach for teaching because I can make decision on the basis of what seems best for the student instead of following an style. I use a wide range of materials in my lessons.

As a Spanish tutor I have designed, taught and marked courses for adult learners at every level of Spanish. For each of my classes I adapt, arrange and design the materials to match the level and the interests of the student.

Throughout the lessons , I give each student feedback on their progress, attend to their specific needs, and provide encouragement.

I email the class notes to every student and encourage them to make contact if they have any specific questions or doubts.

¡Hasta pronto!

Manuel is an outstanding teacher - not only due to his years of experience but also due to his professionalism and his passion - especially for teaching and languages. Currently learning Russian himself and holding a certificate for English, he very well knows about the struggles of learning and will help you to go easily through the most difficult parts of Spanish language. Manuel is very open-minded, polite and a broad range of interests. A teacher who creates lessons due to your needs and necessities. We can recommend him 100%!

I am so excited to be your new teacher. I have been teaching for 8 years as a Foundation Phase Teacher.
I would love to help you develop your English speaking abilities, by using TPR (Total Physical Response), props, we can even play some games and sing some songs together. If you would like, I could even read you a story.
I look forward to meeting you in our new classroom!

You just need passion for what you're going to do and... a good Internet connection. Materials are provided by me!
See you online!

Hi,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the decision to learn or improve a new language. Whether it is Estonian, English or Russian, beginner, advanced or Business language - you are in the right place.

My name is Martin and I am coming from a tiny country in the Northern Europe called Estonia. One of my biggest hobbies is teaching and educating others, that is why for the past 3 years I have been living and working in Istanbul while teaching English to different age groups: kindergarten, school, university as well as adults. I have had students from Beginners to Advanced as well as several businessmen and CEOs of international companies located in Istanbul. What is more, for the last 2 years I have been teaching Estonian, English and Russian online through Skype that gave me chance to meet people from all over the world and help them on their journey of learning foreign languages in a comfortable and enjoyable environment.

We are going to have a 20-30-minute trial lesson during which we can get to know each other, set expectations towards the lessons and schedule the timetable. The next step is simple - we start learning the language of your choice! As simple as it is :)

During the lessons we will focus on making you speak even with the limited vocabulary because speaking is the key to learning a new language quickly and in a fun way!

Cannot wait to receive your in-mail and help you on your journey to learn and speak a foreign language.

Martin

Martin L was a really fun teacher to work with. I learned quite a lot, even within just an hour. They're very honest and straightforward, and communicate clearly, plus they made the material fun to learn (I was told to have understanding that making mistakes is just part of the deal, and to have fun with it!). In short, It was a blast, and I look forward to more lessons!
