Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Are you planning a trip to Morocco? Do you need a convenient phase to move around airports, hotels, restaurants, beaches, resorts? Do you need help understanding cultural differences and customs? Would you like to appear less Anglo-Saxon to avoid arrogant and confused looks? Do you want to discover interesting places to visit that are less known than traditional travel packages?
Well, I'm the one stop shop.
- I can guide you with language and grammar with useful basic vocabulary and phrases.
- We will practice asking essential questions about travel and life in general.
-I'll give you some pronunciation tips.
-We will do role plays and oral comprehension.
-I could also give you some good suggestions for off-the-beaten-path places to see and visit.

Laura
French Lessons And Tutoring for Children and Teens. From Beginners to Advanced Levels.
A class in French to learn to speak, read, and write in French. The learners are encouraged to speak in French when answering questions to learn proper sentence structure and pronunciation. A curriculum can be developed to match the learner's levels and goals with homework and a test at the end. No need to purchase books, I provide the pdf's. I am also available virtually for any questions that your learner may have during the week. This class can also be as a tutor to support the learner's current curriculum in school is also doable. Reach out with any questions, or days and times you might prefer if you don't see anything that matches your preferences. What parent's say?: My 7-year-old daughter's confidence in her French has grown significantly in Laura's French class. She attends a trilingual school and was initially struggling to keep up with all the languages. Laura's teaching has not only boosted her confidence but also improved her participation, as noted by her French teacher during our recent parent-teacher conference. Laura ensures that every student, no matter the class size, has a chance to speak a significant amount during her lessons, and her caring approach to diverse learning abilities is impressive. Both my sons, 17 and 16, have been taking French lessons with Laura, and she is an exceptional teacher. She's patient, fun, interesting, personable, understanding, and on top of it. We are hoping she offers more classes that we can sign up for :) My daughter has loved taking French from Laura for the last year and a half. And I can honestly say that if I had a teacher like Laura when I was in my high school French classes, I would still be speaking French. She has a great way of communicating with the kids and helping them feel comfortable learning and loving a new language. Outstanding teacher! Great with kids and very organized lessons! Laura is always supportive of the students. I saw my student progress in French and my student felt more confident in French language study. She attempts to make it a mostly immersive experience, but never leaves students confused about what she is saying.

Easy Korean lessons by an experienced native tutor, with summary note
Hello, I'm Yeon, a native Korean tutor with 4 years of experience. In my lessons, you'll learn natural and respectful Korean that goes beyond textbooks. I'll help you communicate naturally and confidently, while also gaining insights into Korean culture, society, and history to understand the language in its true context. Who I am: I spent my entire life living and working in Korea, giving me a deep understanding of Korean society and culture. I have a deep love for the Korean language and have enjoyed improving and polishing Korean sentences since childhood, which naturally led me to teaching Korean. I also enjoy visiting historical sites, hiking in the outdoors, and digging for clams in summer. I’d love to share my insights and experiences with you. What you'll get in the lessons: - Personalized lessons for all levels, from beginner to advanced - Practice forming and using correct sentences in speaking, writing, listening, and reading with a focus on accurate pronunciation - Learn polite and natural expressions that native speakers use, many phrases in Korean textbooks for foreigners aren't appropriately polite - A summary note after each lesson to review and practice - Anytime, via Zoom at your locaton How to improve your Korean: People often get so caught up in the methodology of learning another language, but it's not about what method you use. It's about how much input you get and how often you practice it. Lesson Details: I'm in Korea, in the Korea Standard Time (KST) zone. Punctuality is important, so I expect students to be on time and stick to the schedule. My English is at an intermediate level and I have a Korean accent. Thank you, Yeon

Sachiko
Japanese Lessons with Sachi, I am an experienced Japanese teacher
I enjoy cooking, painting, traveling, reading, and yoga. My lessons are extremely well planned and organized so there’s no time wasted and I enjoy forming a trusting relationship with my students. When students trust their teacher they feel free to ask questions and know that it’s okay to ask the same question repeatedly until they fully understand. Another important feature of my lessons is the quality of my follow-up reviews. My reviews are meticulous, complete with footnotes that offer supplementary information. Because of my detailed feedback students not only learn during my lesson, but after it as well. I’m so happy to know that some of my students print out my reviews and keep them in a folder for self-study! From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of my students I’ve met during my teaching career. They always make me laugh, feel warm inside, and motivate me to become a better teacher. Learning is a long journey so let’s have fun together and make it worth our time! I am looking forward to getting to know you!

Native English Conversation for all. Are you interested in English for travel, Business, or just as a hobby? No stress, fun classes for all
"My teaching style is centered around creating an engaging and supportive environment that encourages active participation and critical thinking. I believe that language acquisition is most effective when students are immersed in authentic, real-world contexts, so I often incorporate multimedia, literature, and current events to make lessons both relevant and dynamic. I strive to foster a classroom atmosphere where students feel comfortable taking risks, making mistakes, and learning from them. I focus on building strong communication skills, including reading, writing, listening, and speaking, by using interactive activities, group discussions, and project-based learning. I also believe in tailoring lessons to meet the needs of individual learners, offering personalized feedback and adjusting my teaching methods to suit different learning styles. Whether through creative writing exercises, debate, or grammar drills, my goal is to inspire confidence in students' ability to use English effectively in both academic and everyday settings."
