ENGLISH AND GERMAN CLASSES FOR WRITING AND SPEAKING - ALL AGES/ALL LEVELS

Growing up bilingual in German and English was as challenging as it was exciting and an experience that inspired my love for languages. Now I would love to share my knowledge on effortlessly mastering the ins and outs of these two infamous languages with you!

The lessons are hands-on, easily understandable and true-to-life, so you can go and use what you've learned right away. Moreover, I like to customise the lessons to the topics and hobbies that interest you so that we can build progress on familiar sole, have you make better connections to the language and have an overall better learning experience.

If it works with your schedule, I would also strongly recommend that we make homework a part of your class structure.

I am confident we can use whatever foundation and experiences you have to help you meet your language goals - whether you just want to smooth out the kinks or start from the very beginning.

You and I can figure this out together!

Extra information

I suggest having something to take notes with and to keep a list of new vocabulary and essential grammar rules. Any other necessary material will be specified before each lesson. :)

About Me

Hey there! Wie Geht's?

I grew up bilingually in German and English and developed a great passion for creative writing. Eventually, I decided to teach and tutor toddlers, children and teenagers of all ages for years in languages and sciences with very promising and fast results. It was exciting getting to know them and finding ways to make learning languages more fun.

After graduating from high school with a major in languages (Latin, French, German and English), I moved to Denmark for my BA and am now in Spain for an MA… Needless to say, I’m still crazy about new languages and cultures and I’d love to share a bit of that with you.

Education

I went to grammar school in Germany, where I majored in languages. After that, I moved to Denmark, where I graduated Magna cum Laude with a BA in marketing and management communication. As of autumn 2022, I will attend an MA in Barcelona on international studies on media, power and difference.

Experience / Qualifications

• Native German and English speaker who majored in languages

• Years of individualised teaching and tutoring experiences with overwhelmingly positive results

• Cambridge Proficiency Certificate for English

• BA in communication

English teacher. All levels and ages. Like teaching while learning.
Experiència de més de 20 anys donant classes d'anglès i català a grups reduïts d'ESO i Batxillerat i classes de repàs en el sector de les Humanitats. Doy clases de inglés desde hace muchos años. He impartido a grupos reducidos y a particulares de repaso (ESO y Bachillerato). Me desplazo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad para todo el curso. Enseñar es mi vocación.

Barajo la posibilidad de dedicarme a la docencia también en horario de mañana, siempre y cuando la oferta para este horario fuera de mi interés. En el turno de tarde soy autónomo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad en Academia o similar para todo el curso y en verano. My name is Xavier. I was born in Barcelona... a long time ago. I grow up in this town, but now I live a bit far from here. I studied at the University of Barcelona and in Huddersfield (near Shefield, Halifax, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool,...not very far from York: quite nice places and better people), and I've been teaching Catalan, Spanish, Phillsofy, History and English for a long time...since I was 16. What happened? Very short, I promise: I was walking down the street two years ago, from just opposite this private school, and I thought myself: well, you might enter this place and see. I like English language very much... and the UK,... but I don' t have a poster of the Queen on my bedroom's wall. It was a sort of a blind date. And there she was: her smile, her diligence, effectiveness. Eva listened to me. And after two weeks she was texting me for a class. Please, Xavier, can you cover for some classes? And here I am. English Studio, Academy of English in Barcelona, where I used to be a teacher until Covid 19 knocked at the door of our lives, and teachers and students had to be at home. Professional Objective: English teacher. Morning shift: Professional experience More than 15 years in several Contact Centers as an Agent or as a Team Leader or Supervisor.

Ranging from five to seventy five, my students appreciate my individualised approach to their learning and my constant attention to their well being and detail. I try to make lessons fun so that you can be empowered to achieve your best results possible!

In addition, I am a certified high school mathematics teacher in the United States with experience teaching subjects such as Algebra I, Algebra II, and test preparation. I taught high school math for multiple years in East LA with the program Teach for America that places top university graduates in under served neighbourhoods.

Furthermore, I have tutored students studying the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum for many years. Lastly, I have a TEFL credential, which has allowed me to teach English to dozens of students.

Lucy
German Teacher from Native German - Master Student from Germany
...I could speak in 4 different languages with my room mate. Do I have your attention? :) I always like to joke and say that life is too short to learn German, but honestly it depends on the teacher you have and how much you enjoy the lessons! I think that as long as you feel good and motivated and have a person sitting next to you who says positive words to you, you can manage to expand your expertise in a short time With me, you have a friend with whom you can have a coffee or go to the beach in your free time. I am very open and communicative and want our lessons to be more than just dry theory. I bring my personality to the lessons so that it remains interesting and vibrant for both of us! We can meet in a Cafe / Restaurant in Barcelona, I am also open to online meetings. If you are interested in learning Chinese I can also help you! :)

Claudia
English for health sciences: doctors, nurses and related professions
Learn English orientated to your health profession. Classes with Conversation emphasis and preparation for tests in your health profession. You can take them online or in person at your convenience. We will do specialised auditory discrimination and pronunciation.

Miquel
Comprehensive English: Conversation, grammar and reading comprehension
Normally the foreign language is learned in an unnatural way by focusing on grammar and writing, when in reality we know that a language is learned first by speaking and then by reading and writing. Just as young children do, remembering and associating. Learning to use and enjoy a language is the basis for learning to read and write later. With this inversion of the order of the factors, the learning of grammatical rules and spelling is not forgotten, but rather they can be learned more easily as soon as they begin to acquire oral skills.

Nicola
Languages What a Passion. Language class: ITALIAN, SPANISH, PORTUGUESE, ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN. We learn by having fun!
ENGLISH Do you want to learn Spanish? Do you want to improve your English? Do you dream of learning Italian? Have French and Portuguese always intrigued you? Does the German seem an insurmountable obstacle? Then you're in the right place! I offer lessons in each of the aforementioned languages to anyone who wishes to learn them: face-to-face (Barcelona), or online. Classes will be customized to what you want: Do you want to enrich your vocabulary? Then we will focus on conversation and dialogue. Do you want to focus on grammar, spelling, tenses and verbs? Then the class will be more technical and based on a deeper knowledge of the dynamics of the language. In short, each lesson will be adapted to your needs and what are your goals and objectives in relation to what you want to learn of a particular language. So what are you waiting for? Italian, Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and German await you! Thank you!

Ariadna
English for children from 5 to 15 years old, I offer very dynamic classes. They can also be adults and teenagers
I am studying Early Childhood Education at the University and I love being in contact with children. I have experience as a private teacher with children from 5 to 15 years old. The classes I offer are dynamic so that children learn in a more fun way. During the first class I observe the student's level in order to adapt the sessions to their level, in addition to setting objectives to evaluate the child's progress.

Pierre
History, Political Science, Essay writing, Test Prep Tutoring
Having worked in an alternative school, my approach is very much based on the understanding and ways of learning of each student. Rather than imposing a specific method on the student I try and understand how they work, how they understand the subject and what the university or school requires of them, and help them improve in the areas needed. I specialize in tutoring History and Political Science for school (iGCSE, A-LEVEL, IB) and university (Bachelors). I teach both content and form (essay writing and exam prep skills).

Jed
Accent Training for Public Speaking, Presentation and/or Conversation for Students and Professionals. (Intermediate English required)
Hey there! I'm Jed, an experienced Interior Designer and overall creative professional. I have about 4 years of professional experience teaching students and training professionals when I was living in Thailand from 2017 to 2021. For this course, I use a proven program that focuses on the vocal aspect of speaking English. You will learn the phonetics of different letter combinations, discussed with detail what to do with your mouth, tongue and breathing to be able to speak more clearly. Why does this work? Our tongues are muscles! And for non-native English speakers, we need to understand and practice to make proper sounds to speak English more clearly. Please note, I will not teach grammar. The goal of this class is not to sound like a native speaking American or British, the goal is to speak English clearly with a neutral accent easily understandable by anybody. What makes this course helpful to you as a student or a professional? Confidence! Being able to converse, speak and present in your university or professional presentations. Previous students taught were native speakers of Chinese, Thai, Filipino, Arabic, Spanish and Italian. Additional info about me: I am born and raised in the Philippines, lived in the US for 2 years, studied in Canada for 4 years, lived and worked in Thailand for 4 years and living in Barcelona, Spain for 2 years now! I went to an English speaking school my whole life and I consider myself in a native or bilingual level of English. Why I do this: I am heart and soul a designer, but teaching is a very important part of my life, and I truly enjoy sharing experiences with people!

Elena
Learn to speak English from a bilingual ( RU and ENG) tutor
Good afternoon I offer my services as an English teacher. I teach the language using the methods of the Stankevich House school (in my opinion, the strongest English language school in Moscow). Each lesson we will go through grammar, vocabulary, and read excerpts from literary works of English authors. And, of course, we will practice speaking. I prefer to teach lessons in an informal and friendly atmosphere :) Write - I’ll be glad to meet you!

Andrea
Learn how to be a native Spanish speaker with a native Spanish teacher.
My name is Andrea and im from Canary Islands. I give Spanish lessons for any level in a friendly and inspiring atmosphere. My lessons will be very dynamic and fun in order to keep my students motivates and inspired by this passional language full of expressiveness and colour. As I am a music student in Conservatorio di Trieste (Italy) I will recommend lots of beautiful Spanish music to help your ear get used to the sonority and will help you have a good pronunciation in order to make you look like a native speaker. I also work on complex writing forms, grammar...I am a native Spanish speaker but i also speak English,French and Italian.

Anthony
Tailor made English classes! For children and adults, all levels!
Hello! My name is Anthony and I am an English teacher! I have a lot of experience learning and teaching languages and I love to share my knowledge with others. My methodology is to incorporate the new language into your day to day with simple, interesting and fun tasks. It relies heavily on conversation so that students lose their fear of speaking and can express themselves confidently and effortlessly. I try to find what my students are most passionate about and interested in, so that classes are as easy and easy as possible. I try to make my students learn English and at the same time interesting topics about the world, other cultures, geography, travel, history etc and current issues. During my life I was also more self-taught and learned more on my own than within the system we already know. I have developed very effective learning methods and I am very happy to be able to share it with my students. These methods can help you learn any skill, new disciplines, and new languages. The fact of learning a new language is an incredible experience since it opens your mind and the opportunities in life on a personal and professional level. I have been studying languages for a lifetime, it is my great passion. My classes are nothing like the conventional learning system and I try to make learning a pleasant and fun process. Because for me that is the best way to learn - Language coaching - Business English - Roleplaying - Work-related English

Anhelina
Face-to-face / Online ENGLISH lessons for beginner - intermediate levels (A1-B2) + Native Speaker
A passionate and creative student with more than 10 years of experience in communication in the English language. I am here to help you discover the world of English in a fun and very practical way. My main goal is to improve your speaking by using only English during our classes, as well as enhance your grammar, reading and listening skills. The classes with me are engaging and full of creativity. Moreover, I differentiate myself from other tutors by using my own methodology in teaching. My lessons are a combination of many books, where I pick the most efficient exercises to learn and make a personal "book" for each student depending on what requires more work. From time to time, I organise a group call/meeting, where my students and I communicate with each other over a cup of tea. That way, my scholars get to be in a multicultural environment, learning how to understand English with different accents and build connections with others in a new language. I have completed an IELTS (International English Language Testing System) examination in 2019 with a CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) level of B2. In my last EF SET (EF Standart English Test) in 2022, the results have shown an Advanced English Level (C1). In addition, I have studied bachelor's in Psychology in English for 3 years. These days, English is my first language to use in day-to-day life, which allows me to practice it 24/7, always finding something new for myself to learn. As for the lessons themselves, they are online (Skype, worldwide) or face-to-face at the student's location (Barcelona). If you have any further questions, please, do not hesitate to send me a private message, I will always be happy to answer! See you soon! :)
