Teacher of English for adults and children of any age and level

I teach adults and children of any age and any level,

The core of my approach is:

- Practice, practice, practice!
Language proficiency is not knowledge but a SKILL. Every single theoretical topic should be practiced. For that reason, all my courses are full of practical tasks.

- Having fun while learning.
Only by having fun can your studying be effective. That’s why the practical tasks of my courses are interactive games. Another crucial point is 100 % clarity of the course theory — learning objectives for every course is made clear from the start.

- Focus:
There is too much information nowadays. It’s more and more difficult to navigate through it. So it’s important to have high-quality curated information for your studies: precisely what you need to address your specific needs: a real language for real life.

- Authentic language:
My courses are free from artificial phrases that can still be found in textbooks. I provide only genuine language spoken by people in real life.

- A teacher’s mission is to inspire and to give direction, not just transfer knowledge into a student’s head.
The best result is when students can learn by themselves, and when they are motivated to use every opportunity to master a foreign language. I will readily share strategies and resources for independently studying foreign languages.

- Result vs process.
A foreign language is not about good grades. Its real purpose is to improve your life. That’s why each lesson is another step toward your better life. No unnecessary information but precisely what you need to achieve your goals.

My name is Maria I’m a qualified teacher of RUSSIAN and TURKISH languages with the university degree in linguistics. I also have a degree in teaching English. Studied, lived and worked in Turkey for 6 years. In London for 2 years. I will be happy to guide you in this not easy but exiting journey of learning a foreign language.

The English Language Support (Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing)
I am eager to help you learn and improve your English language in an interesting and effective way. I know how to learn foreign languages efficiently as I have learned English on my own. Now I want to share my methodology, sources and tips with you.

Anna
English (including as an Additional Language), Humanities (History, Geography, Religion), Test preparation
Hello, My name is Anna and I am a UK qualified teacher. I specialise in teaching English, English as an Additional Language and Humanities subjects. I have taught in the UK and also in Swiss international schools. and have experience teaching the UK national curriculum and the IB at Middle School & High School level. I have also worked extensively with pre-school and infant school aged children providing extra homework support or EAL lessons. My classes are flexible based on the needs of my pupils. I understand that everyone learns differently, and it is very important to me to get to know my students as individuals. Normally I would follow the syllabus curriculum, but I am also very happy to tailor lessons on a more individual basis. I make sure that lessons are varied, including quizzes and different activities and also record pupils' progress on a weekly and quarterly basis.

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.
