English for all levels from an experienced native English teacher

Our classes will be based on your goals and current level. I teach from the pre-intermediate level to advanced and prefer working with teens and adults. It's ok if you have short term goals, like interview preparation, resume writing or preparing for a trip. It's also ok if your goals are long term where we can make a structured plan to improve every area: speaking, writing, listening and reading.

How do you learn best? We can use a book, songs, TED Talks and a variety of other material.

Extra information

Whatever you need to be productive. A computer, tablet, pen/pencil, notebook...etc. These are your lessons, so you're in control.

About Me

I'm a native English teacher, a student of Spanish, a veteran of the US Army and a former American football coach. I enjoy traveling and have spent some years living outside the US in Macedonia, Bulgaria, Kosovo and Mexico.

Education

B.S. in Sociology from Worcester State University (3.79 GPA) and completed some coursework toward a PhD at Washington State University. In relation to football: completed coaching clinics at Washington State University under Mike Leach and summer camps at Boise State University.

Experience / Qualifications

I coached high school as an assistant football coach from 2013 - 2016. I grew up playing the sport from my youth through high school. I've attended clinics and trainings at top programs. I also study the game and watch film.
We'll first review your target score, any practice or previous exams you've taken and when your application deadlines are to make a study plan. We'll review the sections of the exam that you want to work on together, as some students preparing for the TOEFL iBT only want tutoring on a specific section. We isolate each task to discuss the best strategy for each, then practice it. When you're comfortable, then we'll move on to the next task. I can provide homework if you'd like and I can also provide additional materials if there's something that needs fixing, like a particular grammar topic.
This class is designed for people who want to understand American Football. It's a common thought that "it's just people running into each other", but it's like chess (just more physical) and you will understand why. We will assess your beginning knowledge and where you want your final understanding to be. By the end of our classes, you will be able to understand the basic rules, the flow of a game, terminology and how it ends. I also have a board game that we can play (I'll send you the files) that uses actual strategy. Once you get some basics, we can use this tool to put things into practice.

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.

English(Improve Academic/Language skills, Terminology, Proofreading Thesis/Papers ): Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced

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.
