Kirty Kaitlyn - Copenhagen£14

£14English for kids as a second language - (beginners)

Trusted teacher: English class for children from the ages 4 to 17. The class will be focused on 3 different aspects such as speaking, writing, and listening.

Christopher - Kongens Lyngby£28

£28Private lessons in German (Middle and High School level)

Trusted teacher: The class will be held mostly in German (Native). Before we start, I firstly try to find out together with the student, where are the strengths and weaknesses he or she has in order to customize the lessons. Generally, we do grammar, listening, reading and writing exercises depending on current education level and according to the material at class. As much as possible, I try to focus on repetitions of contents in a more interesting context for the student (music, sports, technics, travel, etc.) to simplify memorizing vocabulary and grammar and to bring fun in learning a new language. The lessons can be remote, however I strongly recommend direct interaction. The lessons are for Middle and High School level for students from 12-99y, so this might be interesting for adults as well :) I am looking forwards hearing from you :) The best is to have an initiate call/meeting together with the student to talk about level of education, type of lessons, week days etc. Best regards, Chris

Téo - Taastrup£21

£21French native speaker provides you support to learn french

Hi! I'm Téo, 23 years old and I'm a native French speaker from Versailles. Regarding my background, I hold a literary baccalaureate as well as a language degree, in english and Spanish from Paris Diderot University and I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in export management at ESCE Paris. AND as for my experience in tutoring, I have already had the opportunity to teach French to students of all ages in France. Nevertheless, this is therefore one of my first experiences in teaching in an intercultural framework. :) My method is based on an exchange and dialogues with the student using vocabulary adapted to the latter's level because, in my opinion, the efficient way to durably learn a language is to communicate with native speakers! From this general conversation it will continually be possible for me to identify areas for improvement and elements to work on that could be the subject of more theoretical and in-depth lesson proposals. I think it will help you to feel more confident and open about expressing yourself in French! :D Do not hesitate to contact me for further information!

Szilvia - Copenhagen£25

£25Hungarian - Advanced conversation class for fluency

The aim of the course is to provide assistance in the further development of your existing knowledge of the Hungarian language, so that you can express yourself in Hungarian in a more diverse and varied manner. Since I am not a professional language teacher, in the joint lessons I emphasize that you dare to speak Hungarian as easily as possible, and that you can confidently engage in current cultural, economic, and scientific topics in addition to everyday topics. On top of that of course, I will also help you with the correct pronunciation and emphasis. If you also have a special goal in relation to language learning - for example, you are preparing for a language exam, or perhaps you want to study this language in Hungary - then I will be happy to support you in your preparation for this as well. The lessons will be completely tailored to your needs, because our goal is common: that you get the most out of yourself during the time you spend together and that instead of stressing out, language learning becomes a real experience. If I have piqued your interest and you would like to practice with me, I look forward to your application!

Spanish Classes with a DELE Examiner 🇪🇸 | All levels from A1 to C2 🇪🇸 Travel & Kids & Business 🇪🇸 (Paris)

Lucía

I booked a daily 90 minutes class for my son Nicolo' (16 years old) for 2 weeks. He was an absolute beginner and usually has a very limited enthusiasm for "extra-classes". Lucia was absolutely fantastic. She made the magic of creating a learning environment that was fun, friendly and effective at the same time. My son Nicolo' was so enthusiastic about the classed to the point that I could not believe it when he asked me to do more classes with Lucia after the 2 weeks. Lucia was good to teach with real life situation and not in an academic way. She was very good in explaining difficult concept in an easy way. Lucia is a very competent teacher and a trusted professional. I would recommend her to anyone.
