Hello, I'm Louise and I'd be happy to help you on your English learning journey.

I believe communicative lessons are the most effective, so although we will cover all the skills in our sessions together, they will always be combined with plenty of speaking practice.

The most frequent feedback I get from my students is that I’m very patient and encouraging, and that they love the energy in my classes.

I help you to develop your English skills to push up your level and achieve the exam results that you need. 
I focus the lessons on the areas of the exam you find the most challenging ensuring you take the exam with confidence. 
In addition to this, I provide plenty of practice test materials to fully prepare you for the exam.

I will help you build your vocabulary range; improve your understanding of phrasal verbs, and teach you effective strategies for remembering new words and phrases.

Whatever your English learning needs, I invite you to book a trial lesson with me and we can talk about how I can create a learning plan specifically designed to meet your needs.

Let me introduce myself to you, and watch my video. 

Hi there!  I'm Deborah, a TEFL-certified English teacher from the US.  I’ll provide a warm, friendly environment where you'll feel comfortable speaking and practicing English.

I like to keep sessions fun and engaging by using a variety of methods.

Depending on your level and preferences, we can: 

• work with authentic content (videos, songs, readings) designed for native English speakers,
• follow a more structured approach (modern, communication-oriented textbook or program), or
• emphasize conversation

Many students enjoy "getting the best of all worlds," and using a mix of different approaches.  Regardless of the specific approach we choose, you will always have many opportunities to speak during our sessions!

My background & experience:

• CeOLT certification (from polyglot Olly Richards' program, StoryLearning), Feb 2023
• TESOL/TEFL certification, Dec 2022
• Languages:   I study French and Spanish, and I currently speak these languages at an intermediate level.

Thank you for reviewing my profile.  Feel free to book a trial session.  During the trial, we'll talk about your goals and discuss the approach you'd like to take for future sessions.  I look forward to meeting you soon! 

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, my name is Nicoletta and I am a certified native English tutor from the small island of Cyprus. However, both my parents have British roots and I have grown up speaking English as my primary language. As a person who has always been interested in other countries and cultures, I have embarked on learning new languages myself in the last few years. Most recently Korean! Doing this, I realised how important it is to have someone guide you and support you on your language learning journey. I hope to be that person for you, to aid you and support you with your experience of the English language.

Educational background

My educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Education and a Master's degree in Psychology in Education. I also have 3 TEFL certifications (120-hour Premier course, Exam preparation, and Business English).

Hi there! I'm a Native English Teacher from the Unites Sates, with over 12 years of experience teaching students from all over the world. Not only a teacher, but a lover of languages, I speak 3 languages fluently and 5 languages in total. I grew up speaking English and Spanish, and after completing my studies, I decided to move to Hong Kong, where I learned Cantonese (southern Chinese) and taught English for 9 years.

In Hong Kong I taught conversational English as well as English in theater, with an emphasis on natural flowing speech and emotional expression within the dialogues, erasing those old monotone/ robotic style of speaking habits a lot of students picked up in school (no disrespect to the schools! They’ve served their purpose!) I've also taught poetry for students to balance the very technical, Left-brain dominant grammar based lesson with a more expressive, Right-brain dominant and playful form like music and poetry, and theater.

One thing that sets me apart from most English teachers is that I know what it’s like first hand to work and live in a foreign language environment as I've also performed staged dramas in Cantonese! I certainly do know what it’s like to be on stage with all eyes on you, a bunch of native speakers listening to me, who has just learned to speak it a few years ago only! It’s nerve racking at first, but then once you do it, it’s one of the most liberating things you could ever do for your speaking confidence. You really see that communication goes way beyond words! In this era more than ever, communication is key. 

To me, learning a language is like a combination between singing a song, practicing a sport, and getting a new passport! It truly opens up a whole new world of opportunity and self expression. Being able to express yourself calmly, confidently, accurately and most important – creatively, this is the gift I wish to give all of my students.

Hello! 

Thank you for visiting my profile :) 

My name is Lizzy and I am a professional English teacher dedicated to helping you achieve your language goals.

If you find that you "lose your words", struggle to express yourself naturally when speaking English, if you feel stressed about presentations or English exams, or if you'd like to improve your grammar and vocabulary, I can help! In lessons we will work together to build your confidence and skills so that you can easily work towards your ideal level of English. 

My academic background is in Linguistics and the Psychology of Language Learning so I understand the best methods to help you learn effectively and keep you motivated during your language learning journey. I also love learning languages and have experienced some of the challenges you may be facing now. I truly believe that language learning should be a fun and rewarding process, and I want to transmit that to my students through lessons. 

My priority is that you feel always confident speaking English so I make sure you are practising your speaking as much as possible in class. I will give you tips to improve your grammar and language skills, and provide regular homework to support your language learning. I make sure that classes are fun, with the right amount of challenge and tailored to your individual needs.

I’m a qualified teacher with a bachelor’s degree and a CELTA qualification from Cambridge - for teaching English as a foreign language. I have over 30 years of experience teaching English in classrooms and online to ALL levels of learners.

I specialize in improving fluency and confidence in daily conversation at home and at work. My approach is holistic which means we will use relevant topics and speaking tasks to learn new words and practice language skills.

My goal is that you improve!

I understand that speaking English fluently and naturally is YOUR goal and that you might need help in a particular area – like grammar accuracy or pronunciation and intonation, or a wider set of active vocabulary. You may struggle with listening or reading or writing. These are all areas I can help you improve – once we have identified what you need.

We’ll use a shared document to record your growing vocabulary and highlight areas you need to fix. You will have a written record of every lesson with notes and tips that I will provide. Lessons will be conversational and fun but also informative. After every lesson you will get detailed and constructive feedback from me, so you know exactly what to work on.

Hi, I am Harriet, a native English speaker and qualified teacher with over 20 years teaching experience.

The lessons are structured around you as an individual and start with finding out what you want to learn or improve and why. We will then agree a plan of interesting and challenging activities to help you meet your goals. I teach general conversation skills, including increasing confidence, and learning new vocabulary and Business English. I have helped many students successfully prepare for job interviews or to take on new roles. I can also help you prepare for language tests and focus on pronunciation.

The lessons will be lively and varied, using a range of methods, materials and contexts. We will regularly review your progress and goals and I will suggest activities outside of class to help you practice what you have learnt. I am experienced in teaching beginners to advanced level students from teenagers to adults. I have Masters degrees in Creative Writing and Psychology and so am able to use and teach both creative and academic language skills. 

 I live in Hove in southeast England and also spend a lot of time in Lisbon, Portugal.

Effective professional English classes using conversation, articles, videos and exercises.

I originally started teaching in a school and companies to individuals and groups in 2010 whilst living in Brazil. In 2014, I returned to the UK and focused on teaching online.

A trial class will enable us to discuss your expectations, teaching methods and material. From this moment onwards, I will provide you with a class focused on achieving your goals in a focused, professional and pleasant environment.

My career before teaching has included law, slaes, IT and telecommunication across 3 continents. Born in London to a British mother and Italian father, I am married to a Brazilian and have been studying Portuguese for many years. 

I enjoy meeting people, experiencing other cultures and making a positive difference in people's lives.

I take pride in my work and am focused on providing classes that will keep you coming back for more.   

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.
