🌊 I have a sea of experience as a language teacher and student!   

I hold a B.A. in Romance languages, an MFA in Creative Writing, and TEFL/TESOL certifications. Forever growing and exploring. :-) 

I truly care about your unique goals, struggles and dreams.

As a kid, English was my big struggle and biggest dream!

And now… it's my passion!

I truly can’t wait to meet you. ☕️✨

Our lessons can be relaxed, fascinating, fun and interactive. Does this resonate with you? :-)

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

We can dive into your favorite activities or explore a project.

We can discover or master the English foundation. :-)

(syntax, grammar, fluid pronunciation, useful and cool expressions, and beyond).

My teaching and learning approaches are inventive and simple, from my heart.

I truly love learning together, and always here to listen and support you.

I invite you into the marvelous world of English, as our universal language! It can be our great friend. ✨

Cheers to the wonders of beginnings!

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.

Hi, everyone! I'm Marissa. I've been teaching English my entire professional life, since obtaining my certification (CELTA) in 2011. I'm a native speaker of English from the U.S. who has taught both online and at schools/companies around the world.

In our lessons, I will provide you with materials to match your level and goals. We can follow a structured curriculum, focus on a particular topic or skill, discuss an article, or practice for an upcoming presentation/interview-- it's up to you. I take a communicative approach and prioritize your speaking time while correcting your mistakes and offering useful grammar structures and vocabulary.

Are you looking for a native English speaker to master your English conversation with? Someone who will improve your confidence, teach you new vocabulary, phrasal verbs and idioms, and fine-tune* your grammar? My name is Katherine and I would love to help. I'm from London.

I come to every class with a plan for the lesson, which depends on your English level and your goals. Please read my reviews to see how other learners have experienced learning with me. I don't like to toot my own horn,* but I have never received less than 5 stars for a class :)

Our classes will be conversation-focused. We will talk about a variety of thought-provoking, complex topics. 

In our trial session we can talk about your goals for learning English, what you already know and what parts of the language challenge you the most. I want to learn about your personality and interests, so I can personalise classes to you.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

I only teach adults.
I do not teach beginners.
Language teaching is not my only job. Because of this, I can only commit to one class per week for new students.

See you soon!

* fine-tune = to make something perfect with small adjustments
* toot my own horn = to speak proudly about your own success

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.

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'm here to help, whether your goal is to improve your English for a forthcoming trip or to become fluent in order to pursue your ideal job. To get started on your learning journey, please feel free to schedule a trial lesson with me.

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!

About Me: Hello! I'm Tony. I'm from North East Scotland. I'm a TEFL and CeOLT certified English teacher and I love learning languages and helping people succeed with their goals so that they can achieve what they want from life. I want you to succeed. Together, we will make that happen! 

• Do you feel like your English is still not as good as you want it to be?
• Do you feel anxious, nervous or lack confidence when you have to speak English?
• Do you feel that it's difficult to understand people because they talk too fast or that you're missing the words you need to express yourself?
• Do you need someone to help you achieve the level of English you've always dreamed of? Then my lessons are for you!​

In my lessons I will:

• Create lessons that will target areas of English you don't have confidence in.
• Send you a document after every lesson with corrections for things you say + explanations for the corrections.
• Give pronunciation and accent reduction assistance if you want to sound more native.
• Make sure you learn something new every lesson and that you're comfortable and enjoying English!

Let's work together, so we can remove "Learning English" from your 'to do' list. 

Book a trial now and let's have fun mastering English!  :)
