I am French by birth, and I also have a diploma in French language and literature, so I have the methods to be able to transmit my knowledge of this language. We will build the lessons together so that they are most appropriate to your needs. After obtaining my degree in French language and literature, I chose to come to Manchester for a year to study liberal arts, with the aim of obtaining a second degree. I have always loved the French language and culture, and I have always wanted to teach: giving these courses allows me to combine two of my passions. I am a calm and attentive person.

French lessons (native speaker) online and Manchester
EN: Hi ! My name is Olivia, I am 21 years old (22 this summer) and I am a french student from the University of Toulouse.

From now I can only give you lessons online because I am still in France. From September it will be possible for me to give you french lessons at home too !

Would you like to speak Spanish. How to learn this language from beginner to advanced level.
Hello! would you like to speak Spanish? you can contact me!! :) I specialized in tutoring Spanish and French for School and High School students(GCSE and A levels) and adults. I could help you to be more confident and improve your level. I studied to be a Primary School teacher so I would happily help you to learn these languages as I am a native Spanish speaker and I went to France for 9 months so I could help you with French as well. My speciality is teaching children from 5 to 15 years old. Also I am fluent in English but i am still learning new things every day so I know quite well how the best way to learn a language is! I can't wait to start the lessons with you, you will learn a lot and it will be fun! my goal is to keep students challenged and motivated!

Spanish One-to-one private Tutoring. Test preparation. All levels and ages.
Hola, I am a native Spanish Speaker Teacher. I have been successfully teaching children and adults of all ages in groups and one-to-one for many years. I teach depending on the learners needed. Some students need the language because they have houses abroad, others have academics interests, etc. I teach different Spanish levels, from absolute beginner to complete fluency. I offer tuition in Spanish GCSE, A level, University, and Erasmus. I also assist with the conversation, course work, essays, and exams preparation. If you prefer to follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEF or CEFR), which is very widely used internationally, it is fine for me. Just let me know your level or I can check it for you. I offer some flexibility to fit around your work or family commitments. One-to-one and group lessons.

I look forward to hearing from you soon, Kind regards, Sagrario

Ernesto
Spanish for English speakers & English for Spanish speakers
I consider myself a very organized and dynamic person so my lessons will response to that personality. I do not like to offer classes and book exercises, but rather a playful and entertaining teaching that develops meaningful learning. Personally I like to adapt the student's interests to the lessons, from my opinion this is the first link to achieve a good level in a second language, either trough (music, sports, TV shows, Netflix, etc.)

Phillip
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
Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.
