    English & Business English from American in Bologna

    I have a love of languages and the power in learning them to further understand and immerse yourself in local cultures. My personal style in teaching English focuses on helping you to develop your own speaking style. There is no such thing as "perfect" English. Spoiler alert: we all have accents! It is just about finding the point you want to make with the words that best suit your personality. I would love to help you find your own voice in English!

    In my sessions, we will gauge your goals and set some practical targets so that we have a common understanding on what "fluency" means to you. I have a relaxed yet focused style where we drill down on your biggest pain points. Together, we will develop the tools to navigate difficult conversational situtations where you feel lost. I look forward to meeting you. I know we can learn a lot from each other!

    Learn English from a native English speaker - choose something specific to learn, or start with the basics and progress from there
    I can teach anything - grammar, vocabularly, nouns, useful phrases, traditional vs. modern phrases. Or, I can teach specifically for e.g. a workplace environment, a school/university environment - whatever the student wants. If you tell me why you want to learn English, then I can tailor the lessons to specifically help you achieve this purpose. I am a native speaker. I can provide homework/assignments, and I also have a list of effective methods for you to use outside of the classroom to enhance your learning. I have lived in Ireland, England, Scotland, and the USA - so I am very aware of the various differences in how these countries speak English (and the most useful/common phrases to use in each context). I speak basic Italian; enough to teach English.

    Andres
    Lessons of Spanish are tenute in Spanish, and words of English!
    . The best way to learn a language is by talking to a native and learning about their culture while they learn about yours. I am a Spanish boy from Tenerife, I have experience of having taught classes in Spain. I speak both Spanish, English and Italian. I am looking to take advantage of the opportunity to teach Spanish, to perfect my Italian.

    Nora
    Communicative English lessons with a certified teacher
    I have more than 5 years of experience when it comes to teaching English as a second language. My introduction to teaching was a volunteering project in a French high school, then it became my profession when I started working in a Hungarian language school. In the school I held business English and everyday English courses for all levels, mostly teaching small groups of adults. Apart from that, I also held private Hungarian and French lessons. Now I am working in a language school in Italy, as well as teaching online because I travel a lot, and working remotely allows me to keep doing what I love, from anywhere in the world. When you become my student I will ask about your goals, assess your level, and recommend a course book based on your level and needs. In case you would only like to practice communication or wouldn't like to learn from a book, we can also simply talk and occassionally use some worksheets to make the lessons more varied and enjoyable. All my lessons are generally very communicative – I try to stay in the background and correct you when necessary, and guide you through the exercises instead of giving you the answers. From experience I know that real learning happens when you figure things out for yourself, and not when you are passively listening for your teacher's explanations.:)

    Private lessons in English and French / Private lessons in English and French
    Hello, I offer French and English lessons for all levels! My name is Manon, I am a French student, and this year I am studying in Bologna. Born in the United States, I speak fluent English. I then came to live in France when I was 5 years old, so I also speak fluent French. For me, learning a language necessarily involves speaking, that's why my course will always start with a discussion phase between me and the student, so that he can tell me about his day, the latest film he saw or the last book he read... The other essential aspect of learning a language is to listen to it. This is why I will ask each session to the student to choose a video to watch that he will have to comment on the next session both orally but also in writing. Of course, these exercises will be adapted according to the age and level of the student. Finally, it is also elementary to work on the basics of grammar, conjugation and spelling of the language through written exercises that we will correct together. My lessons can be adapted for all levels My lessons can also be done remotely, by videoconference, with teams, Skype or Zoom. Hello, I offer French and English courses for all levels!

    English language communication skill in both four modes: reading, writing, speaking, and listening is very important now more than ever.

    Amber
    English and French Tutoring/ Preparation for ACT and SAT
    Learning ESL or French as a non-native speaker can seem like a daunting task. Fortunately, my style of tutoring incorporates lessons plans with entertaining exercises and activities. Each lesson I establish a cultural objective to give some cultural significance to the information. I also include a grammar and lexical objective which will target key vocabulary and grammar structure common when speaking about specific cultural topics. Each session begins with a warm up to test your memory and present new information, a production to apply the grammar and lexical tools With exercises, and an independent short project to complete at the end.
