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).

Teaching background

I have been teaching on a variety of online platforms for over 2 years. I have experience working with all ages and varying nationalities. I also have experience preparing students for the IELTS exam, with them receiving scores as high as 8.5.

Teaching methodology

My classes for adults cover:

• Pronunciation
• Comprehension (listening and reading)
• Conversational English (e.g., hobbies, travel, nature, social media, culture, and more.)
• Functional English (e.g., at the supermarket, at the doctor's, at a hotel, at a restaurant, and more.)
• Grammar
• Exam preparation (IELTS and TOEFL)
• Idioms
• Writing
• Business English

My classes for children cover:

• Vocabulary (e.g., daily routines, animals, hobbies, sports, family, jobs, food, emotions, weather, and more).
• Comprehension (listening and reading)
• Pronunciation
• Basic grammar
• Games (e.g., wordsearches, spot the difference, guessing games, and more.)
• Exam preparation (IELTS and TOEFL)

My materials include worksheets, role play, audio recordings, games, videos, and more.

I believe in tailoring each lesson to meet the students needs. I believe that the student is the most important person in any lesson and that the teacher should focus their material on the students’ goals, interests, and aspirations.

Professional English Language Tutor Specialising in IELTS, Academic English, and Business Communication

With over 15 years of dedicated teaching experience, I hold postgraduate degrees in English, Theory of Literature, and Business Administration. My extensive background encompasses a wide array of English syllabuses, including IB, AP, Cambridge, and Canadian curricula, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of diverse academic frameworks.

Having spent three years in China, I have successfully assisted numerous students in preparing for the IELTS examination. My approach is student-centred, crafting personalised lesson plans that align with individual goals and proficiency levels. This tailored methodology has consistently led to students achieving their desired scores, reflecting the effectiveness of my teaching strategies.

Beyond exam preparation, I offer specialised instruction in English Literature, focusing on AP and IB English Literature, as well as Cambridge English and English Literature GCSE, AS, and A-Level studies. My lessons delve into critical analysis, fostering a deep appreciation and understanding of literary works.

In addition to academic instruction, I provide conversation classes aimed at enhancing English speaking skills for both business and personal contexts. Drawing from my extensive experience in business management, I integrate practical language usage relevant to the workplace, equipping students with the communication skills necessary for professional success.

Currently based in South Africa, I bring a global perspective to my teaching, enriched by my international experience in China. I am committed to delivering high-quality, engaging lessons that cater to the unique needs of each student.

My name is Mark, I'm TEFL- certified and I specialize in creating a comfortable and fun English learning environment.

I have been helping adults ( ages 18 +)  online for over 10 years, during which time, I have also studied multiple languages.

I understand the difficulties of learning a new language and attempt to address these issues directly in my sessions. 

I believe that learning is a by-product of good teaching.

I understand that teaching is not 1 method for all situations, and requires adjusting and variety throughout the process.

I want to offer fun and excitement to the learning environment and process.  Helping you become a confident and fluid speaker, requires consistency of instruction along with diligence in practice. Together we can create an amazing learning environment that will allow you to achieve your learning goals.

I can assist you with TOEFL, IELTS, CELPIP, LSAT, SAT, PTE, and other EXAM preps. I'm able to help you simply focus on conversational English, expressing yourself in everyday situations. The formal language of business English can be difficult terrain to traverse, but I can guide you through the process. Many students have just wanted to improve grammar and vocabulary, session work along with between session work (homework). We can tackle consistency and fluency.

Feel free to have a trial lesson to see how I can help you be the English speaker you want to become,

Hi there! I'm teacher Dio and I have been a teacher for over a decade. I love what I do - I am passionate about languages. I speak 3 languages (Portuguese, Spanish and of course, English). I've lived in Germany, Ireland, and I just recently moved to Spain. I am telling you this because that means I KNOW how learning a language works.  

Something that is important to know is that you DON'T need to live in an English-speaking country to learn English effectively. Everything really is all about you taking some minutes of your day to study and to surround yourself with the language! I am a certified teacher and my experience over the years shows that you don't need to be brilliant, you just need to be committed in order to learn another language.

Some other info about me:

I am certified by the Cambridge University (CELTA), and I also hold a TEFL Certificate. I have been teaching English for over 10 years, and I have helped students from all around the world. Currently I offer two main courses:

- CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH - This course focuses on fluency, pronunciation, learning a lot of new vocabulary and preparing presentations about different topics! - There are lots of different topics and you can choose from!

- IELTS & FCE/CAE EXAM PREPARATION - I have a 25-lesson course that will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know to pass the IELTS/CAE exams with flying colors! - In addition to that, I have a lot of extra materials you can use to improve your grammar and writing skills!  

If your English level isn't very high, we can also discuss a course that will be aimed to give you a solid base so that you feel confident to express yourself in English.

Thank you so much for reading through this page and I look forward to meeting you!

Hi there! My name is Jacopo. I am TEFL-certified and have now had 3 years' experience teaching English conversation to teenagers.

🗣 I mainly focus on speaking, listening, conversational skills, and fluency. If you feel stuck in any of these, feel free to book a trial lesson with me now. We will evaluate your level, come up with a personalised study plan, and elaborate strategies together to help you feel at ease speaking English.

📝 I also routinely help students looking to get an English language certificate or to pass an exam (Cambridge B1 Preliminary, B2 First, C1 Advanced, IELTS, TOEFL). I can help you achieve your goals by helping you integrate best study practices, master some exam techniques, and develop time-management skills.

🧑‍🎓 What I especially enjoy is offering my students a direct, hands-on, immersive experience, encouraging them to use only English right from our first lesson. I mainly like to work with communicative activities to improve my students' fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and last but not least, confidence.

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! I’m Debbie and live in South Africa.

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.

On a personal note, I enjoy travelling with my family and spending time in nature. We have a dog, a few goldfish and 2 adorable guineapigs that keep us company at home. I love connecting with people from all over the world so meeting you is something I’m really looking forward to! 

Book a lesson and let’s get going on your language journey!
