English Language & Literature for Advanced Learners
Teaching English for 22 years now and working on my post graduate studies in Comparative Literature and Comparative Syntax, I came up to the realization that education is a lifelong process that never stops.That is why it is never too late to learn English, nor is it difficult to perfect your style of writing and improve your grammar. At the same time , a learner must realize that his/her point of view actually matters and that he/ she should have a voice. That voice can only be echoed only through their way of making analysis of literature.In fact, I also realized that learning is not only about career building, but it is mostly about the journey and the fun we share reaching out for our destination.

> teaching the students how to be self-learners.
> developing the students’ skill of objective critical and creative analyses.
> developing and building the students’ characters.
> creating an entirely new personality that is up to all life challenges, and that is able to magnificently endure all dares of today’s most requiring job-market.
> working on improving students’ life skills by:
> encouraging students to read comparative literature.
> teaching students the right basis of writing and making a research.
> improving their listening skills.
> teaching them different methods of context clues, semantics and how to crack down the sentence syntax.
> training them on how to use their new learned vocabulary more flexibly in writing, not as a stagnant material that has merely to be memorized and spelled.
> Working mainly on developing the students’ characters, improving their skills and enhancing their self-confidence, creativity, critical thinking and their abilities of constructing new meanings.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. MayoFor 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
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.

German Language for Beginners (Deutsch - A1 und A2)German as a foreign language can be hard, especially regarding the grammar part. Always focusing on the structures of the sentences can be challenging and demotivating when trying to connect the sentences in a communication environment. That is why with the help of this class, you'll get more confident in building strong sentences without the stress usually involved.
As a foreign speaker of German of over 3 years, there's no other person that understands the struggles better than I do. We will cover all the fundamentals with the background of grammar and syntax so that we are able to create a strong base for future advanced levels.
