Do you want to build your fluency in English? Do you want to speak with confidence? Do you want to finally begin thinking in English?

Hello, I'm Irenē, I'm from California, and I can help you do that.    

About My Classes 

Let's talk about different things to build your fluency: your city, your hobbies, your life stories, your studies or your work.    Do you like to cook? We'll talk about food and make sure you have all the vocabulary you need.    Do you need to talk to your co-workers in English?  Tell me all the office gossip -- I'll teach you the expressions to stay "in the know".   For talking to your boss, I show you some more formal expressions.   Did you immigrate to a new country -- the US, the UK, any other?  Let's talk about your immigrant journey.  

Our goal is for you to practice your recall of English words and phrases in real time.  You will also practice expressing your way "around" an idea when you can't easily remember the English word or phrase,  

During the lesson, I put all these corrections and suggestions into a Quizlet deck of digital flashcards that you can study later, so that all that feedback goes into your long-term memory.  We also review these flashcards at the start of lessons.  

To provide you with additional review material, I offer to record our conversation lessons.  

In all these lessons, translation from your native language is used carefully.   Memorizing translations, or using it too much, can stop your ability to start thinking in English. 

About Me

I have a TEFL certificate from the University of Toronto.  I've taught English online to adults since 2019.  

My great love is history and historical fiction, and I'm an amateur writer.    I love to travel, and in the past year I've spent two months in Buenos Aires and two months in Prague.  I've studied Spanish, and I'm now studying the Russian language. 

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.

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!  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!

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 13 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.

NOTE: I believe in giving students the best experience for their money and so if you book at 55-minute class, that class will be a full hour (60 minutes) and not 55 minutes. 

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.

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.
