About Me

I like learning about students cultures and languages and I enjoy learning about their experience and their environments. I am motivated to get the best results for my students and I have many long students with whom I have a good working rapport and a good frienly but formal rapport. This helps me to work with students in the long term. I usually refer to my students as "community members' as teaching language is a human interaction as well as a learning interaction. I believe in supporting my students learning for their objectives and I try to balance this with good teaching practice so while I do work with student requests I also function within good standards of teaching and learning.

Education

I have a dual Honours Degree in French and Portuguese, an Honours degree in Teaching French as a Foreign Language and LInguisitics from the University of Tolouse II, Le Mirail and the Manchester University and Pitmans EFL certificate for teaching EFL.

Experience / Qualifications

I have more than 25 years of experience in teaching and I have a published book and other materials developed through many years of teaching. I hope to work with you soon!
I show you how to understand and use French, mostly by showing you how the language works and how to reason in French. We use interactive content and also books, materials that I and other French teachers have created. Mostly I make your learning relevant to your life and experience and I try to help you understand the ideas behind the French language and how to use it. Over the past 25 + years my methods have helped students improve quickly or over time to get results like 90 % and more. Most students like the way that I work and it has been very effective.

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting 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.

Albanian/"Shqip"(Improve Academic/Language skills, Proofreading): Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced
Albanian as a language is very distinguishable as it has its own branch in the Indo-Europian language tree. It is an ancient language transferred from the Illyrians who lived in the Balkan peninsula. As it is my native language, I have always helped and tutored people who are ethnically Albanian but have been raised outside of Kosovo or Albania and do not have a complete understanding of their mother tongue. Together, we will focus on all fundamentals, including the core bases of Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Throughout lessons, we will practice together with additional homework. I am looking forward to meeting you soon. "Jeni të mirëseardhur!".

Primary School English: It's all just ticking boxes. (Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2)
School moves fast and it can often feel like you are speeding through with your hands open just hoping you can grab something - anything - that you can grab to slow you enough that you can say: Yes, I got this. English is a core subject in primary schools, the most important subject. As a primary school teacher, my English sessions will be structured so that you can transition much easier from school to tutoring lessons. As a student of mine I am committed to finding the best way for you to understand the trickiest areas of English. I often tell children that English is just ticking boxes. Does your sentence have correct punctuation? How about grammar? Have you used conjunctions? My role is to understand where your weakness are so that you can understand enough that your weaknesses become your strengths. My sessions are not strictly designed for children. No matter what stage in life you are at, whether you're a teenager or adult, I can cater to your needs.

Improve Your Use of English in a Fun and Simple Way
A common excuse that people for whom English is not their first language use to dismiss their inability to speak and use the language well is, 'After all, it's not my language.' Well, it is, if your successfully getting by from day to day depends on it! The English language is unarguably a universal means of communication and the ability to speak and write it well will always give you an advantage in almost every field of endeavour in life - work, school, with your children and at their school; interacting with neighbours or at the shops and so on. You do not, necessarily have to speak with a crisp British accent, but you do need to be able to speak and write with your tenses, verb-subject agreement, spelling, punctuation etc. in place. My class is designed to help you with this and also, get you beyond just the basics of the use of English, by teaching you about and showing you how to use the different parts of speech, language registers and so on. You will also learn how to pronounce words properly. And all of this in a fun and exciting way! The result will be a better command of the English language and greater self-confidence.
