    About Me

Please schedule a time to meet with me on Social Media.

    A bit about me...
    I am an outgoing person who enjoys life and meeting people and experiencing new cultures. I am married with two boys and I live in Cardiff the capital of Wale. I'm a qualified PGCE tutor in Education having practices originally as a Lawyer. I have 10 years of experience in teaching English, Social Sciences, and Law to students of all ages and from a variety of backgrounds online. I enjoy all sports, especially surfing which I represented Wales in my youth. My teaching style is varied and adapted to suit the students' needs, I place high importance on communication skills and use a variety of teaching methods in my classes, which include video analysis, online screen share and online topical information.

    Education

    Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) University of Wales - 1997
    CPE - Postgraduate Diploma - University of Westminster- 1996- 1997
    BA Social Science 1991-1995

    Experience / Qualifications

    A Costs Lawyer and PGCE Tutor with 20 years experience in all aspects of academia who teaches Law, Politics Welsh, English as well as providing Legal translation service in Cardiff at GCSE, AS Undergraduate, Post Graduate level, and English ESL on online.
    After graduating I secured a position with Eversheds for 8 years as a Costs Lawyer and bespoke tutor. The emphasis was on managing a team with responsibility for recovery of costs on behalf of large external clients, predominantly insurers and government departments as well as financial organizations.
    From November 2007, I embarked upon my own private practice with a dual purpose of providing legal advice to clients alongside structures and bespoke tutoring. This was followed by a decision to work on a consultancy basis, continuing as a costs lawyer focusing on claimant work and concentrating on my tutoring skills, enabling flexibility to work around family commitments.
    I currently have a broad range of private professional clients whom I teach face to face and online whilst also maintaining a traditional student base. I specialize in Law, Politics, and English and online tuition to students aged between 4 to adulthood.
    I have extensive experience in teaching Chinese students English as a foreign language.
    I am married with two boys. I love the outdoors. I was a member of the Welsh Surf Lifesaving Association for over a decade and am a dedicated surfer. Full driving license. Fluent in Welsh and English. Interested in all aspects of global politics, human rights, and the environment.
    My expertise is in tutoring English, Law and Social from infant, GCSE, AS to undergraduate. I want students to enjoy coming to my classes and contribute freely without feeling pressured. My goal is to get the students to think about the topic and formulate opinions and discuss them openly. Homework is set after each lesson with feedback given afterwards. The English class concentrates on language skills, grammar, reading, pronunciation and sentence formation with the emphases on practice using English, not just in class but also at home and with friends to build confidence. It does not matter at what level you are in English as each class is carefully planned around your needs. In the Law class I concentrate mostly on GCSE, AS and Undergraduate. I use a variety of teaching methods as the subject is quite theoretical. Exercises such as mock trials, gathering evidence and the use of case law to name but a few. These classes are enjoyable and requires the student to engage fully. The Political Science classes are taught from GCSE to Post Graduate level and covers a specific country and it's dynamics. My lessons focus on the United Kingdom, Europe, America and Russia. At these lessons you will be able to compare and contrast different types of systems, their methodology on social policy, foreign policy as well as with other countries. You will watch films, engage in debates and participate both individually and in groups. Most of all all my lessons are fun!!
    In the political science class you will learn about political systems and the difference between them. We will cover the political spectrum discussing each theory from Communism to Totalitarianism. This will be via film, current affairs stipulating on how the theory works in practice. Mostly we will concentrate on Europe, USA and Russia, which provides the most contrasts. The classes are fun and dynamic with plenty of opportunity for interaction and debate.
    I teach English vocabulary to students who wish to speak the language at a high level. In the class we will concentrate on pronunciation, dialects and sentence formation, when to put imaginary commas and full stops when talking. You will also learn about phonics and which words to pronounce stronger than others. You will learn descriptive methods by watching on line and through talking to each other.

    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!

    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.

    give courses in languages and applied biochemistry
    My name is Younes and I give language lessons, for me teaching means learning twice so my learning method is based on simplicity and above all you have to move forward according to the student's rhythm to allow him to learn. improve and acquire new bases and be able to assimilate new information without ever becoming saturated.

    Sebastian
    Fun and Effective German course with Money-Back-Guarantee!
    I am a German native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides German, I speak English, Swedish, Spanish, French, and Italian. Having learned 6 languages myself, I am 100% convinced that I will successfully teach you German (in a fun and relaxed manner)! I have been teaching since 2018 and am currently one of the most-reviewed teachers on this platform. I encourage you to pause here and have a look at my reviews. I am confident that you too will have a similar view after having had some classes with me. On top of teaching here on Apprentus, I have taught offline group classes for the Volksuniversiteit The Hague (A Volksuniversiteit (litt. folk university) is an institute for non-formal adult education in the Netherlands). I also taught for and underwent training with Berlitz, which is one of, if not THE largest language school in the world, operating in over 70 countries and 500+ locations. I am 33 years old, have an honours degree from Leiden University, The Hague, am calm, encouraging, and, most importantly, PATIENT. My main objective in classes is to make the student feel relaxed and at ease. I encourage you to speak without fear of making mistakes. In fact, I celebrate making mistakes. "Why?", you may ask. Well, making mistakes means that you are leaving your comfort zone. You are trying something that you are not already skilled at. You don't choose the easy path! People who never make mistakes are stagnant. Therefore, making mistakes should be CELEBRATED instead of shunned! So, good on you for mispronouncing "Nachmittag (Afternoon)", or using the wrong grammar when making a sentence! Here, let me help you get it right this time! :) Do you already have German knowledge? No problem! Instead of building the basics, we can design classes that meet your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can hold presentations about topics of your interests or topics that I provide, we can discuss current events, hold debates, you can write news-paper article summaries, or we deep dive into advanced grammar. Whatever it is that you enjoy and need: We can do it together. All my classes combine speaking, listening & grammar exercises in interaction with me. Unless you're a very advanced student, we will work with learning materials created by some of the best publishers for language learning in Germany. These materials serve as a red thread for our course that introduces new words, grammar, and exercises in a good pace and interesting manner which keeps you engaged and motivated. Furthermore, I show you German food, music, and places. On top of that, I 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 having a personal connection. Unless you prefer to "stick to business", which is fine as well, we typically start our classes by talking about how the weekend or preceding weekdays have been. I don't see my students as a resource to be extracted, but as people for whom I develop a genuine interest. Over the course of time, we both know what is going on in our respective lives and update each other about small or big life events. Having taught many students for multiple years, I can gladly say that I have made real friends thanks to our classes, some of whom I even have met in real life. I am extremely confident that you very soon will have the same success that I have had in learning languages! So what are you waiting for? Get in touch now to book a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn about you, your needs, and your wishes, which will allow us to design the optimal course for you. See you soon! Bis bald! Sebastian
