Conversations with a spanish master's student in Blackrock
Hiya,
My name is Marta, I am Spanish student doing a Master's degree at UCD, and that's the reason why I am living in Blackrock, Dublin. I come from Valencia and I studied my BA in Humanities in Barcelona, specializing in Linguistics and Literature and finishing it in Puebla, Mexico, after having been awarded with a Santander Scholarship to study there for 6 months.
I am very curious about Linguistics and understanding the basis of different languages and the differences between them, as I think each language reflects a way of seing the world for their speakers. My first languages are Catalan and Spanish, and I also speak Italian and English. During my time in Barcelona, I taught Latin for high school students and Spanish and Catalan for foreign people. I had a great time doing so and could learn about the difficulties that non-Spanish speakers face when it comes to grammar or memorizing some vocabulary related to their field of interest.
After being happily adapted to my new life in Dublin, I decided it's time to get back to work and offer clases de lengua to:
-to those that are curious and want to start to learn some Spanish (or Catalan!!)
-to those who want to improve their Spanish or need some help to pass a certificate level
-to those who just look for someone to practice their Spanish with while having a tea or a walk*
+ I am open to talk about specific cases, like if you want me to mind your children + make them start to be familiar with a second language.
*For those who just want to improve their conversational skills while having a tea, my interests are arts and culture, sociology, psychology and history (my master's in International War Studies so I love to talk about current issues). I also enjoy travelling and getting to know other cultures and people. Otherwise, I am a very curious and respectful person and I am always willing to learn and talk about new things and acquire new interests.
In case you are interested, feel free to contact me to ask me any question or talk about your needs and preferences!
Adios adios :-)

Spanish Tutor - Native Speaker Experienced in TutoringHi! I am a 22 year old Spanish girl who is willing to help you thrive in your Spanish courses.
Our classes will consist in helping you with your homework and exam preparation. Once this part is complete we will move on to the oral expression phase where we will practice and improve your speaking skills.
Agnes
Friendly tutoring in Spanish, English and GermanHello!
I’m Agnes. I would like to support you in Spanish and English as a tutor! I am kind and patient. You can also ask me as many questions as you like!
I have a Bachelor's degree in Spanish Philology and a Master's in Interdisciplinary Latin American Studies. I attended an international school in Spain for three years. I also lived in Latin America for a while. Therefore, I am fluent in Spanish and English, master the grammar accordingly and would like to share my knowledge.
I have already gained educational experience in language teaching at various language cafés. I have often supported my little sister in Spanish, English and German.
It is particularly important to me to respond to the individual needs of the students. I am open to creative, playful and dialogical forms of knowledge transfer. For me, the focus is on supporting and paving the way for a sustainable understanding of the required knowledge context and not just “memorizing”.
I look forward to meeting you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.
PS: Of course I do not only offer my tuition for schoolchildren, but for everyone interested in languages of all ages.

News, personal experience, project, italian on the roadIn my class, my first goal is to make the student gain confidence in the Italian language. This means there will be a lot of conversation during which I'll make sure the student bases the conversation on proper grammar and a spread lexicon. At the end of the lesson, I'll analyze the gaps that need or can be filled in order to improve the knowledge of the language. The homework will concern specifically the gaps faced during the lesson and will be faced once again at the beginning of the following lesson until the student feels confident.

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!

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart.
I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Learn the schedules by heart.
2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results.
Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind.
I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics.
What will not be the subject of the course:
learn lists of verbs;
learn lists of nouns with their gender;
learn words with their translations;
memory card game;
doing school exercises;
follow the program in a notebook;
impose French grammar on the Latin language.
What matters to me in particular:
motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm;
encourage creativity;
make friends with language;
letters and their sounds
strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop;
teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart;
explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ;
place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice.
In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy.
I look forward to meeting you.

✨French teacher - Pass the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Individual or group session. ✨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 !

Fun and Effective Swedish course with Money-Back-Guarantee!I am a Swedish native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides Swedish, I speak English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian. Having learned 6 languages myself, I am 100% convinced that I will successfully teach you Swedish(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 "eftermiddag (Afternoon)", or using the wrong grammar when making a sentence! Here, let me help you get it right this time! :)
Do you already have Swedish 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 Sweden. 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 swedish 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 which 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 an initial lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn about you, your needs and wishes, which will allow us to design the optimal course for you.
See you soon!
Ses snart!

English Writing & Grammar - Learn from a Published Author! Make Your Writing Clear and Effective!In this day and age, writing is usually the way that we make our first impressions. Whether through text or email, our writing greatly reflects our professionalism and skills.
I am a TESL-certified English teacher of over 7 years. I have taught students from all over the world, and I prioritize organization and friendliness to provide a productive student-centred learning experience. This class focuses on grammar and writing. As a published author and editor, I am an expert in grammar and sentence structure.
I can help you:
-Fix grammatical mistakes and help you understand the rules behind the errors.
-Make your sentences more effective and easier to read.
-Guide and edit to make your writing more concise and concrete.
-Teach you skills to self-edit and improve punctuation and sentence structure.
With a gentle and knowledgeable instructor, we can improve your English writing in a short period of time. I often use "The Blue Book of Grammar And Punctuation" by Lester Kaufman and Jane Straus to help supplement my lessons.
