    American Literature, American History, Composition, Screenwriting, Guitar

    I am interested in providing English lessons to students of all ages.

    I can adapt my lessons to accommodate your interests and goals. For instance, if your goal is to be able to read the Wall Street Journal and to discuss it comfortably (in English) with colleagues, we can develop a course to help you reach that goal.

    If your interest is in American History or Literature (or something more specific: like the "History of Black Empowerment Movements in 20th century America" (the topic of my junior thesis); or "Understanding Faulkner's America"; or "The Berkeley Free Speech Movement", etc...), we can cultivate a course to help you discuss your topic of interest with advanced proficiency in English.

    I have a BA in History from Middlebury College and a Masters in History Education from NYU Steinhardt. I write songs and scripts and have a beginner's proficiency in French.

    This class is for everyone.

    English lessons - Cours d'anglais - Learn British English with a native British speaker.
    Get to know the conversation, understand, read and read the British English language with a British British and qualified EFL professor. Adapt to your level and style of apprentissage. Concentrate on certain forms that tell the language of business, the common language, the grammar, the pronunciation, etc. You talk to a French and Dutch child, you can provide help with the translations of the languages needed, while you think it is preferable to develop a language and develop skills that are part of a part of your life level of basis and use of material visually or contextually. ================================================= Learn how to speak, understand, read and write British English with a native British qualified EFL teacher. Lessons tailored to your level and learning style. If necessary, concentrate on certain forms, such as business language, common conversational language, grammar, pronunciation, etc. I also speak French and Dutch, so I can help with translations into these languages where necessary, although I think it is better to teach entirely in the target language and develop skills from a basic level using visual or contextual materials.

I have taught english to age groups ranging from five year old children to adult classes. I am always conscious to adapt my teaching style and content to suit the students interests. I am experienced working with all levels of fluency.

I assign homework every lesson that I review with each student to ensure that my feedback helps them to progress.

    French Language For Foreigners (Level : From Beginner to Expert)
    Hi everyone! I am Thomas, I live in Paris and I am a skilled trainer/tutor with several years of experience. I teach French as I love doing it! I teach online French to foreigners from all over the world. Before that, I was a radio show presenter for 1 year; a salesman in a training center for 5 years; then a trainer in oral and written communication in French and English for 3 years. I fluently speak English and a bit of German, Polish and Latvian. I studied at Normandy Business School, have a master's degree in territorial development, and participated in the Erasmus Program in Poland (Krakow) and the UK (Cardiff). My hobbies are: traveling, playing badminton and the guitar, and Paris! I hope you will appreciate my classes and tutelage! According to my entourage and students: I am friendly, serious, attentive, and patient. Before the first class, I will send you a placement test so that I know your current level. I prepare the lessons in advance and I can give you homework if you wish. I teach French from complete beginner to expert level (from A0 to C1). I adapt to all public (from 13 years old) and need French culture, French business, grammar, conjugation, discussions, pronunciation, vocabulary, written and oral comprehension, etc. To sum up: you tell me what you want to do and we do it! :)

    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.

    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

    Hello, I am Majda, French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2018. I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level? Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation. I am available !
