    ESL, Conversation, and Grammer for Beginner intermediate and advanced students

    I specialize in tutoring English as Second Language, English Literature, grammar, conversational English, and writing. My goal is help students improve their English using CLT or communicative learning techniques. In other words, I like to ensure that interaction is the main means and ultimate end of my lessons. I assign poetry, fiction, short stories, and fun creative activities after every lesson, and I will set weekly learning objectives or goals with my students.

    This class is for beginner, intermediate, or advanced adult students who want to improve their written and conversational English skills. You'll learn about many different aspects of English grammar such as different verb tenses, verb phrases, adjectives vs adverbs etc

    Teaching the Turkish curriculum in a way that encourages the student to learn and overcome the language barrier
    Teaching mathematics a Turkish curriculum for the primary, intermediate and secondary levels, with the possibility of teaching the Yose curriculum (the university entrance exam for foreigners). Teaching began based on evaluating the student’s situation, developing an appropriate teaching plan, establishing a correct foundation for the student, and compensating for the shortfall caused by distance teaching during the past academic years.

    Private English Lessons for Children and Grown-Ups
    Nowadays, to be able to speak English is a must as it is spoken all around the world. As an English teacher with 7 years of experience, I like to use lots of materials in my lessons to engage my students such as songs, story books, videos, games, crafts, etc. I believe in Direct Method while teaching English as it makes students learn English like their mother tongue.

    العربية السعودية Teaching Arabic in the Shortest Time from a Graduated Arabic Teacher
    After graduating from high school, I went to Egypt for language education and studied Arabic for 8 months. Then, when my application for undergraduate education in Saudi Arabia was accepted, I started my education life in Saudi Arabia. During this time, I graduated from the three-year language institute at Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with an 81 degree. Then, I completed my four-year undergraduate education at the university where I studied. Due to the pandemic, I continue my Master's education via distance education at the university where I graduated. I have native level reading, writing and speaking skills, especially in fasih Arabic. I have a certificate of oath as an Arabic sworn translator from more than ten notaries. I also serve as a Judicial Translator at the Istanbul Courthouse. For a long time, I have been giving private lessons to expatriate families and people from Turkey, especially the children of expatriate families, who want to learn Arabic. In addition, I serve as a sworn translator in many notaries. I can guarantee that someone who does not even know Arabic letters will be able to read and partially write Arabic letters in as little as 6 lessons, provided that the homework I give is done. Due to the pandemic, I teach my lessons online using a graphic tablet designed for private lessons and graphic drawings, so the lessons take place in a classroom environment. You will appreciate how useful and efficient the online webcam lessons are, which you have already remembered with the work we have done from the first lesson.

    Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
    For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

    Kevin
    Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
    I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
