Zoom English classes for adults

Me as a Teacher
I am a professional English teacher with more than 30 years of teaching experience mainly in US - NYC and UK - East Midlands. Initially as a college English and Maths teacher, these days I teach online. My learners are students who tend to improve their school grades, students who are preparing for international exams, business professionals who work or intend to work for international companies or people who learn English for pleasure.  For every individual I usually prepare some tasks for a free talk, grammar practice or a role-play situation with targeting vocabulary and phrases. There is always a summary, a given feedback at the end of the class which helps my learners to make progress highly visible.

My lessons & teaching style

I believe that every learner is different and teaching them should be personalized. I like to apply different teaching methods to see which one would be the most productive. Of course, I need to meet student several times to be able to find out his/her learning style and be able to create a teaching strategy. In my experience, an individual approach, a personalized topic and mutual effort definitely bring some fruit.

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. 

Hello there! My name is Harrison/Harry, and I was born in & currently live in the US, in a city near Chicago. I've been an English tutor for 5 years, both with Foreign Exchange Students in person as well as online. My teaching style is student-oriented, so depending on your English experience, I can create a unique plan to suit your needs! We can develop & maintain your vocabulary, learn new grammar concepts, practice reading, speaking, writing, or listening, and even revise essays! I also am trained to help with IELTS & TOEFL Tests. Just let me know what you need, and I'll help you as best as I can! ☺️

My interests include: Traveling, Art, Learning Languages, Reading, Mindfulness, Meditation, Yoga, Philosophy, Feminism, LGBTQ+ Issues, Politics, Culture, Fashion, Calligraphy, Music, Contemporary Issues/ Social Justice, etc.

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. 

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!

Hello from Los Angeles! My name is Sean and I am both a TEFL-certified English teacher, and a Lean Six Sigma-certified project manager with a business background in IT, analytics, and recruiting. I'm also a language learner just like you (Spanish B2 and German B1), so I know the joys and challenges of learning and improving a second language very well. With 3 years of experience teaching English in a private 1-to-1 setting, as well as a lifetime of working with and interacting with non-native English speakers of every level, I'm excited to share my passion for the English language and help you accomplish your goals on your path toward fluency!

I offer three types of lessons: 

(1) Conversational Classes. To help you become more confident while speaking, correct your grammar, and learn natural phrases & expressions from a California-born native speaker. 

(2) Business English Classes. With my background in project management, IT/analytics, and recruiting, I can help you develop your business vocabulary, presentation skills, and self-confidence -- to advance your career or prepare for a job interview. 

(3) Test Prep. To coach you on test-taking strategies for the IETLS, TOEFL, and more -- with an emphasis on improving your speaking and writing.

Hello, I'm teacher Kelly and I'm a native English speaker from the UK. 

I completed my TEFL in Asia and have over 6 years teaching experience with kids and adults from a combination of working in schools and online. My students tell me I have a clear and neutral accent that is easy to understand. They often comment on my relaxed and fun energy in my lessons. 

When working with children I create vibrant and interactive lessons that include phonics, writing & reading. After each class a worksheet or activity can be given. When working with adults I also like to create fun lessons. Learning grammar is stressful and I like to focus more on conversation and simplified explanations. We learn about phrasal verbs, idioms and lots of other things a new learner should need to be able to understand and speak like a native. 

As a teacher I believe it is important to make the students feel comfortable and give them a safe space to learn and not to be afraid to make mistakes. Learning a new language is not easy it takes time and dedication, I understand this and try to build the students confidence as much as possible. 

Thank you for checking out my profile and I hope to see you soon in class! 😊

Hey! 

Thank you for checking out my profile. :) 
My name is Edit and I am living in Japan. I attended an English-Hungarian Bilingual Secondary Grammar School, where I developed my love for the English language. I have always been interested in Eastern languages and cultures as well, so I decided to specialize in Japanese language and culture at university. After graduating, I moved to Japan, where I have been working as an English teacher for more than 2 years now. I have an IELTS certificate and I also completed a TEFL teaching course. 

I focus on creating a relaxed, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere during my lessons. I encourage my students to make mistakes because that's the only way to master a language. I always personalize the lesson material and adjust it to the student's personal goal and level. I love teaching this beautiful language, and my goal is to motivate my students to reach their language goals. 😊

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, I’m Jocelyn. I’m an Architecture student from Bristol, and I go to Cardiff University. I was previously volunteering as an English teacher at a Bilingual Academy, on my year out living abroad in Seville, and I also completed an Architecture Internship when I was there. For the last two years, I’ve been tutoring students of all ages. These have ranged from pupils preparing for curriculum exams, to learning English as their second language.

I have always made sure to be sympathetic to students' situations, and am flexible with lesson lengths and times. I make every effort to accommodate your needs and targets as a student, to ensure we approach the lesson in a way that works best for you. My aim is to facilitate your learning development with interactive lessons that you can fit into your schedule, without making you feel overloaded.

Having a family background in education has inspired me to gain my TEFL qualification, which has given me the knowledge to be able to teach a range of lessons within the subject of English. These include: Business English for a workplace setting, conversational English, grammar and preparing for curriculum exams, to name just a few.

During lessons, lots of speaking is key, as I thrive on being able to build a good relationship with my students. I’m young and enthusiastic, and always welcome questions. If this approach to learning feels like it could work for you, or you’d like to discuss your objectives in more detail, please feel free to book a trial session. I look forward to meeting you.

Dear students, greetings!

I've had my degree in emergency medical care for an amazing 16 years, and I find teaching this topic to be very fulfilling. I started my journey as an English teacher for a non-profit organization about ten years ago. I worked hard to obtain my TEFL certificate in order to improve my teaching abilities.

I sincerely feel privileged to be able to impart my vast knowledge and experience to each and every one of you.

As a teacher, I firmly believe that it is crucial to modify my teaching strategies to meet the individual needs of every student. I enjoy teaching people who have a never-ending curiosity just as much as I enjoy learning new things. You may expect a vibrant, useful, pleasurable, and stimulating educational experience.  

With great anticipation, I look forward to working with each of you to achieve your learning goals. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Together, we will create an enjoyable and rewarding learning experience.

I sincerely look forward to getting to know every one of you and helping you fulfil your language-learning goals. If you have any questions or issues, don't be afraid to contact us. Combined, let us make your journey to learn a language joyful and successful!

Hi there! My name is Alessia and I'm a certified English teacher from Canada. I've been living in Lucca, Italy for the past seven years and I love it! 

I've been teaching for over seven years now. In 2016 I completed my TESOL certificate and shortly thereafter began teaching at a private elementary school. I've worked with people ages 5-55 and my favourite thing about teaching is getting to know people from different cultures and learning all about their customs and traditions. My second favourite thing is seeing my students succeed and achieve their language goals! 

My approach to teaching depends on the individual needs of my students. Each lesson is customized to the unique goals of my students. That being said, you can definitely expect homework in my classes! For conversation lessons, we'll focus on using media to expand your vocabulary and spend the entire lesson speaking about different topics. For those who need a grammar brush-up, we'll use various books to support your learning but still focus on conversation to help you fully integrate what you've just learned! 

I also have experience preparing students for the IELTS exam for both immigration and academic purposes. I absolutely love the IELTS exam in that it provides students with a real challenge and something to aspire to. I have a wide variety of resources that I use to help you prepare which cover everything from grammar and vocabulary to the actual "how-to's" of writing the exam. If you are interested in working with me on exam prep, I suggest AT LEAST 3-6 months to prepare properly for the exam since you'll not only need to improve your language skills but also your exam-taking skills. 

I'm looking forward to getting to know you and supporting you to reach your language goals! 

Hi, I’m Rob, a native English speaking teacher from Canada currently living in Prague, Czech Republic, with 20 years of ESL and university teaching experience. I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, including fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation and intonation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading.

My teaching style is relaxed, friendly, and engaging—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students mainly enjoy having conversation, but I also often use videos and texts of various kinds and even songs to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and lessons are individually designed to each student’s level, interests, and requirements.

I’ve taught English in Vietnam and Czech Republic since 2016 and also have 12 years of Canadian university teaching experience in cultural history and in architecture/design. I’m also a writer-artist-designer. I received a professional architecture degree in 1989 and the Trinity College Level 5 English teaching certification in 2019. I’m a native English speaker with an easy-to-understand, neutral Canadian accent.

For the last 2 years, most of my English teaching has been online, though I also enjoy teaching non-virtually. I primarily use and recommend the Zoom platform for online teaching for its reliability, video/sound quality, and support for varieties of teaching resources. Students can use Zoom from their browser or by downloading the app on your computer or phone/tablet (but use of the app on your computer is recommended for the best quality).

So, if this sounds like what you’re looking for, I invite you to sign up for a trial lesson with me, and we’ll take it from there …
