Hello, I'm Edward, I’m British and I teach English with a BBC English accent.  I have a degree in Political Science, am TEFL certified and have taught English for 6 years, specialising in Business English, Advanced English and Cambridge Exams.  

Business English - I have 14 years of business experience, working in marketing, public relations, corporate communications, sales and export roles. I can help you to develop key communication skills, including language for emails, phone & video calls, meetings, presentations, negotiations, and promotions. I can help you edit and prepare important documents, and can incorporate high-quality discussions of business strategy into our classes. 

Advanced English - I am well-read and an experienced professional writer, public speaker and debater. It is a pleasure to discuss and teach the finer points of language, metaphors and idiomatic structures, literature and complex topics. For students who want to excel in personal communication, academic studies, speaking and writing, I can help you to boost your vocabulary, refine your grammar, and achieve your personal goals. 

Cambridge Exams - I have 3 years dedicated experience in preparing students for IELTS, FCE (B2), CAE (C1) and CPE (C2). I have a proven record of success in analysing student strengths and weaknesses, identifying effective studies to bridge learning gaps, teaching best practice technique and preparing students to achieve best possible results in their Cambridge exams. 

Hello! I'm Julian. I am from South Africa. I have a 420-hour TEFL Diploma (Level 5) which is equivalent to a CELTA-qualification. I specialise in Business English, Job Interview Preparation and Conversational Fluency. 

I focus on the 4 most important communication skills in my lessons: 

1. Clearly and confidently expressing your opinions and ideas 

2. Storytelling (in business and daily conversations) 

3. Description skills (how to describe your work, problems, experiences, people, objects etc)

4. Functional language (how to make presentations, how to negotiate, how to give advice, how to agree and disagree etc)

If you master these 4 skills, you can succeed in almost any situation.

Many of my students have shared their success stories after having classes with me. Some of these stories include being able to do a presentation in English for the first time, participating effectively in business meetings, closing a deal in a negotiation and passing a job interview. 

Hi! I’m Sue and I live in beautiful South Africa.

I’m a TEFL certified English teacher and I specialize in business English, conversational fluency, and pronunciation. I also have about 35 years’ experience in the business sector, including 25 years in education.

Do you lack confidence when you have to speak English? Do you wish you sounded more fluent? Do you have to keep repeating yourself because people can’t understand you? Frustrating, isn’t it?!

I want to help you achieve your English-speaking goals and to feel natural when you speak English. As you become more fluent, you will feel more confident. I want you to feel just like a native English speaker. That’s my goal for you!

I’ve taught hundreds of students – just like you – from beginners to advanced.

I’m a fun and patient teacher and my classroom is a relaxed, safe space where it’s okay to make lots of mistakes, because that's how you learn.

My passion is helping people who struggle with pronunciation – those tricky English sounds that are so difficult to say. Every language has unique challenges and I really believe my techniques can help you. Let me work with you to transform your English!

Learning happens in a fun and positive environment and when we experience language in different ways. I use a variety of learning methods: videos, podcasts, interesting texts, role-plays, real-life conversations and simulations. There’ll be lots of opportunities to practice – to build your speaking skills and your confidence. I’ll teach you tips and techniques that you can use, and I’ll give you practical tools to help you improve your English fluency.

Our trial lesson will be mostly conversational, where we’ll talk about your English goals and what you want to achieve. Then, I’ll create a tailored learning plan. We’ll focus on YOUR unique learning needs and I’ll work with you to help you achieve your goals.

If you'd like only conversational classes, we can do that too!

I believe in patient correction and constructive feedback – so that you know what you’re doing well, and areas you should work on. 

In my spare time, I love learning Italian (Yes, I’m a student too!!), so I understand the challenges and frustrations that come with learning a language.

I’m excited to go on this journey with you. Let me help you speak naturally, sound professional, and feel confident.

Book a trial session with me and let’s get started!

Hi there, thanks for stopping by.

My name is Andromeda and I am a CELTA qualified English language teacher from London, England. I have taught English for the past 12 years in academies, businesses and online.

I specialise in Business English providing you with the language points you need to express yourself effectively in meetings, give fantastic presentations, conduct job interviews as well as other functions such as negotiation, describing charts and forecasting.

I practice a teaching method called oral agility whereby all grammar and vocabulary are taught through speaking exercises. This means modelling words, repeating phrases and conversation exercises.

Classes with me are fun and dynamic and above all, you will see rapid progress with your English because you will be constantly speaking.

And so, if you are looking for a teacher to help you perfect your English then try a class. You won’t be disappointed. See you soon. 

Hi Guys,✨ 

I’m honored for us to share the beauty, joy and universal value of the English language. My interests are infinite. Anything you find engaging, magical or valuable, I will too. 
 

My passions are world literature, music and dance. The sea is my special place, I’m fascinated by astrophysics, and I adore animals. 

I hold a B.A. in Romance languages, a Master’s of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and an international TEFL Certification. (Teaching English As A Foreign Language)
 

My growth and creativity as a teacher and learner are an endless pursuit. Please reach out to me anytime.

Cheers ☕️🌊

As a teacher, I’m devoted, easygoing, patient and full of life. I’m here to help you discover and pursue your English dreams, no matter how tiny or immense. 

Our lessons will be relaxed, enriching, fun and interactive. 

We can have conversations on infinite topics that interest you, let them flow naturally, and learn as we go. 

We can dive into your favorite activities through English. 

Or explore any facets of the English foundation. (syntax, grammar, fluid pronunciation, great and useful expressions, and more). 

My teaching style and approach to learning are inventive, holistic, and from my heart. 

I’m here to listen and support you every step of the way. 

May language be our compass and friend. ✨

Do you need English for work, a job interview, or life in an English-speaking country? Do you want to speak English with more confidence? I'm Iren, and I offer speaking lessons for adults.  My conversation lessons focus on one topic per session, like health, work, meals, money, transportation, and other topics you are interested in. Before the lesson, I will give you an article (from english-online.net or another online source) about the topic for you to study to prepare. In the conversation lesson, we will talk about the topic. You will expand your English vocabulary with my suggestions.  You will review spoken grammar when you use it in the conversation and receive my constant feedback.  I will explain the grammar point if needed.  You will leave the lesson with many notes and exercises for further practice. 

I have almost five years of experience teaching adults English as a Second Language using this method.  I know it builds your vocabulary,  grammar, pronunciation skills, and confidence.   I also have a TEFL certificate from the University of Toronto.  

I also offer job interview prep lessons.  For these lessons, please provide details about your job type, the industry, and the companies you are applying to. 

Hello! My name is Josh, and I'm a TEFL-certified, native English tutor with a background in creative writing and theatre. 

I believe language learning should be exciting, not a cause of stress. It's just another mode of expression, after all. It's like learning to paint or to draw, to walk or to dance; it takes some time to master the first few steps, but once a student gets moving through the language, they'll soon find they're able to express their true personality in no time at all. My role is help you through all of those steps, whether you're an advanced student or just starting out, and I do this by creating an learning environment that is completely individualised to you, your learning style and goals. 

I am teaching a variety of students, engaging in conversation practise; practising listening, reading and writing skills; studying grammar; preparing for exams; and even helping students who are interested in taking their creative writing to the next level! I believe in making language learning as immersive as possible. My favourite thing about teaching is meeting people from all over the world with completely different personalities and stories. It's a pleasure to hear their points of view and talk about pretty much everything. Being a teacher means you are also learning. And this learning never stops! Every interaction and conversation is an opportunity to see the world in a different way. 

One more thing. Laughter isn't only encouraged in my classroom. I think it's necessary!

I look forward to hearing from you, 

Warmly,
Josh

Hi there!  My name is Deborah. I’m a native English speaker from the US, and I create customized lessons based on your level, goals, interests and learning style.

My #1 priority is to provide a warm, supportive atmosphere where you’ll feel comfortable to speak. I think that a communicative approach is key to language learning. I’ll be sure to give you plenty of opportunities to practice speaking, so that you’ll be able to find your words and express yourself confidently outside of class. 

I'd like to craft sessions that are both fun and productive for you.  Language learning should be pleasantly challenging. If the material is too easy, you’ll be bored. If it’s too hard, you’ll be overwhelmed. It’s my job to find “just the right amount of challenge” for you. I want you to enjoy and look forward to our sessions. After all, the “best” approach for you will be the one that you choose to stick with for the long-term.

Thank you for reviewing my profile.  If you feel that we may be a good tutor/learner fit, please feel free to book a trial session.  During our first (trial) session, we’ll get to know each other, and we’ll work together to decide on an approach that will work well for you. 

My background & experience:

• CeOLT certification (from polyglot Olly Richards' program, StoryLearning), Feb 2023
• TESOL/TEFL certification, Dec 2022
• Languages:   I can speak a bit of French and Spanish (both at an intermediate level). As a fellow student of other languages, I can definitely relate to the joys and frustrations you may face as you continue to hone your English skills.

Please note : I work from my paid Zoom account, which has no time limits.  You don’t have to have a Zoom account.  Just click the link, then agree to launch the session!
