Carrie - Lausanne, Switzerland£33
£33Learn Chinese Easily with Experienced Instructor and Standard Mandarin Pronunciation
Hello friends, I’m Carrie, a native Chinese speaker from China. In my opinion, everyone has a unique way of learning, and that’s what makes the process interesting. I believe that learning languages should be an exploration filled with curiosity and enjoyment. I’ll create a personalized learning plan that suits your level, goals, and interests. I speak English fluently, so you won’t have any trouble understanding me. With over 5 years of experience in teaching Chinese, I have a strong grasp of standard Mandarin pronunciation, which I’ve honed through hosting meetings and activities. My students have successfully passed HSK, YCT, and other Chinese certification exams with high scores. I love building friendships with my students, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions. My teaching style: 🌱 Before lessons: We’ll agree on the focus of the class to ensure it aligns with your needs. ☘️ During lessons: We’ll work on Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing skills, supported by keynotes. I’ll also share Chinese history, popular songs, and traditional culture to enrich your learning experience. 🌼 After lessons: I’ll provide small exercises to help you reinforce what you’ve learned. Please review them before our next class to get the most out of our time together. --------------- 🌼Let’s embark on this journey together to discover the joy and wonder of the Chinese language. 春夏秋冬, 让我们相伴学习 ♥

I devise lesson plans in advance of every lesson, catered to the student's specific needs. – Academic lessons tend to be structured around specific sections of the syllabus, or particular topics that students require help with. – I employ a seminar style format. I flesh out ideas with the aid of quotations, other audio-visual resources, and analytical commentary which my students can use to develop essays, essay plans, revision tools, and exam revision packs. – I use Powerpoint to provide students with a variety of resources and visual stimuli. – I structure my lesson plans with a view to providing short points of rest or temporary closure, in which students are able to ask questions about the content. I am also happy for students to interrupt the flow of the lesson if a burning question arises. Lesson Structure – Academic lessons tend to be 45–60 minutes in length, but I can adapt my teaching schedule to provide students with additional support if needed.

Professional Credentials 1. Teaching – I have over a year's experience working as a freelance academic tutor with many different organisations and online education platforms. – I have worked as an Assistant Music Teacher, which involved teaching Music A-Level students. – I have worked as a Violin Teacher for 8 years (since I was 17).

Monalee - Geneva, Switzerland£36
£36Ask me about Jamaica! Are you curious to learn more about Jamaica- to go beyond Reggae and Jerk? Its history, people, politics and culture?
Trusted teacher: Ever wondered about life in Jamaica beyond the lights of Kingston’s allure? This class offers an ethnographic journey of practises and cultures in rural Jamaica, illustrated through photos, songs and videos. Let's explore life in rural Jamaica! Born and raised in a remote rural district/village, I will take you on an authentic journey of first hand experiences- reliving fond childhood memories, the stories my grandmother told me and what a typical day is like. This will be grounded in the history and culture of Jamaica. Coming from a background in diplomacy, sharing about Jamaica's culture and historical experiences has always been essential for opening the door to a deeper unerstanding. I have an avid interest in other cultures and always take the time to explore wherever I go. Having been to South and Central America, Asia, North America and Europe, I know the unique value of such rich experiences. Whenever I was home-sick while posted abroad, talking about my homeland was the only cure. I will share with you all there is about living in rural Jamaica, from different perspectives of my childhood, teenage years and adult life. One unique bit is that the district's enduring small farms form the centrepiece around which everything revolves. Come prepared with a curious mind, and if you want to make notes take your pen and paper or do so on your devices. It is important for me that your are learning, so I encourage you to ask questions. Let's go beyond Kington's enigma!

Tuition in Violin/Viola Performance, Musicianship, Music Theory, and Music History (Barnsbury)
Daniel
My first lesson with Daniel was just what I wanted and more. Daniel made me feel very comfortable and let me play some music I had been working on. Then Daniel looked at all aspects of my playing in a thorough manner and signposted plans for future lessons. I was really wanting my technique to be reviewed thoroughly and Daniel did exactly this, in a very supportive and encouraging manner. It was incredible to hear the change to my playing Daniel helped me make within the hour. Looking forward to the next lesson! Many thanks!
