About Me

Effective communicator!
Passionate about culture and people, loves animals and refuses to visit zoos.

Loves music, dancing and the outdoors, fresh air and walking on the coast.

I design lesson content with a focus on student’s level, desired achievement and we start with what the student is confident about and build an abundance material and resources around it.

I include “drill phrases and grammar”then practices, role plays, games, free chat, quizzes and consolidation in a lesson.

As a result a lesson is highly functional and resourceful, a handout with bullet points is given a day or two prior the lesson so the student can work around it practice and get an idea of what we will do in lessons. After lessons a note is also produced by me and given to the student, I encourage good effort and points, and suggest a focused work on things that need working on, boosting confidence.

(Online) Mathematics Tutoring for High School Students
High School Math can be confusing for students. Often there is not enough time in school to repeat the content and practice enough, for the students to gain confidence and a routine in solving mathematical problems. With my help and guidance, any confusion will be cleared and we will practice problem solving until you are confident and understand the material. The lessons will be tailored to your needs and their structure depends highly on you: usually it is a mixture of repeating the content, solving exercises together, summarising important concepts and talking about exercises you tried yourself at home. The topics, content, pace and methods of learning will be adjusted to your needs, ensuring that you get the most out of my lessons. Besides the lessons, you will get "homework" to work on to strengthen your skills and independent working. Topics include, but are not limited to: -Linear Algebra -Calculus -Trigonometry -Geometry -Set Theory -Analysis If you have another topic in mind that you really need help with, just send me a message! Whether you need someone that explains the concepts to you or just someone to practice exercises with - I am sure I can help you. You have an exam soon and want to review the main topics? No problem! You have a very specific problem, question or topic that you need help with? I'm here to answer any questions! You need help with preparing for your A-levels/High School diploma? Don't fret, I will guide and prepare you! The most important part of my lessons is, however, to ensure a safe and comfortable environment - I have no issue with explaining the same concept over and over again until I am convinced that you have understood it. It is important to me that you feel comfortable in asking any questions - I want to show you, that Math is more than a subject and that it can be fun!

Spanish online lessons with native spanish teacher for adults and teenagers
I am a native Spanish speaker and a general language enthusiast. In addition to Spanish, I speak German and English. I am 100% confident that I will successfully teach you Spanish (while having fun and relaxing)! I've been teaching spanish for 15 years. I am 41 years old, graduated with honors from the University of Salamanca. My main goal in teaching is to make students feel relaxed and comfortable while studying. Do you already know Spanish? No problem! Rather than building the basics, we can design courses to suit your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can give presentations on topics that interest you or that I present to you, we can discuss current events, engage in debates, you can write summaries of newspaper articles, or we can delve into advanced grammar. Whatever you enjoy and need, we can do it together. All my courses combine speaking, listening and grammar practice in interaction with me. Unless you are a very advanced student, we work with learning materials created by some of the best language learning publishers in Germany. These materials serve as a common thread for our course, introducing new words, grammar and exercises at a good pace and in an interesting way, keeping you engaged and motivated. I also show you German food, music and places. In addition, I will introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level. Another important factor for me is the personal connection. We usually start our lessons with how the weekend or previous weekdays were like. Contact me now to arrange a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn more about you, your needs and desires and thus design the optimal course for you.

English lessons for all age groups and in all Language Levels
Hello my dear future students, How nice of you to decide to learn English. The biggest step in your English learning adventure is not to hide behind excuses such as "I understand but I can't speak, I can't learn anyway, I don't have the ability to learn a language". Well, have you ever thought why learning English is so important? Learning English, which is the official language of 67 countries and the second official language of 27 countries, provides serious advantages in the global sense. I am aware of how important learning a language is and how sensitive it is. I adopted the motto that every person learns in different ways and in different processes, that every individual needs motivation to learn, and that as I contribute something to myself, I also transfer what I know to people and add something to them. After our lessons, you will not only learn English, but you will also contribute to other language learning by learning how to learn a language and what processes you need to go through. Well then, book lesson and let's meet and start our learning adventure.
