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.

Exams - IELTS (Academic, General and Life Skills), FCE, CAE, CPE
I teach effective strategies for tackling the exams. 
My experience working as a Cambridge speaking examiner means I know what the examiners are looking for in the speaking part of the test. 
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.

General English
Would you like to improve your grammar and vocabulary? I can help you whatever your level - from beginner to advanced. I explain grammar rules clearly and give you plenty of speaking practice using the new language.
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, 

My name is Vicki and I am a CELTA-qualified English teacher for speakers of other languages. CELTA is the teaching certificate issued by Cambridge University. I specialize in Business and Academic English but I also teach general English classes as well. I have been teaching both group and private lessons for about two and a half years. I have an academic background (a Ph.D. in Social and Political Thought and a Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours in Art History and Political Studies). My time at university has developed my understanding and use of the English language to an advanced level. I have taught students from all over the world and of all ages. I highly enjoy getting to know people from all around the world. 

I am a New Zealander living in Germany, and as a language learner myself (German and Maori), I know how important it is to enjoy the learning process and to feel safe to make mistakes. I am a very friendly and encouraging teacher and I strive to adapt my lessons to my students' specific needs, wants, and interests. I am also always upskilling as a teacher, participating in webinars and further training opportunities whenever possible in order to learn new teaching techniques. 

Students that take lessons with me also gain access to the Expemo App at no extra charge, enabling them to easily practice the new vocabulary after class as well. In my lessons, I use audio clips, videos, and readings. I also use authentic materials, such as news articles. You are also welcome to bring your own material to class to work on - for example an email you are preparing for work. 

In addition to language lessons, I can also help with editing texts such as scripts and emails.

Please note, that while I can understand a lot of German my spoken level is B1. 

Please also note that we can use Microsoft Teams if you prefer that to Google Meets.

Hopefully I will speak to you soon,

Vicki

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.

I am a professional teacher with many years of experience in teaching English to students studying English as well as adults who wish to improve their proficiency. I also offer specialised tutoring for students who are planning to write IELTS, British Council, AP or other English exams.

I am an experienced English Literature teacher and specialise in AP English Literature and Cambridge English and English Literature GCSE, AS and A level studies.

I have over 15 years of teaching experience with post-graduate degrees in English, Theory of Literature and Business Administration. My teaching experience includes most English syllabuses, including the AP, Cambridge, and Canadian curriculums.

My students receive individualized lessons based on their specific needs and goals.

I specialise in conversation classes for students who want to perfect their English speaking for business or personal reasons. I have many years of experience in business management which is why I offer business English to students who need proficiency in English, in the workplace.

I am based in South Africa although I spent many years teaching English in China, and I have experience of most English curriculums.

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!

About me:

I’m Diana, a friendly and patient English teacher from the beautiful city of Cape Town currently living in Portugal. In 2017, I completed my TESOL and TEYLT trainings and since then I have worked with students from all around the world both in language schools and online. I have lived and taught English in 5 different countries (Spain, Portugal, Indonesia, Turkey and South Africa) to students of all levels (beginners to advanced). In 2021, I became certified to teach Ielts and have thus helped numerous students with  their exam preparations too.

I'm passionate about learning and teaching languages and have studied Portuguese, Spanish, German and Turkish. Through my own language studies, I have learnt that an active conversational approach is the best way to master a language! Some of my other passions include yoga, travel, food and art!:)

My lessons:

My approach to teaching depends a lot on the level and goals of the student. Each student is unique with different necessities so I don’t have a one size fits all proposition. Lessons are tailored to you and are adapted as you progress.Expect to receive a lot of feedback, corrections and if you would like, homework activities.

In our first class, we will have an introductory lesson where I do a speaking evaluation, we get to know each other and we discuss a future learning strategy. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message :)

I hope to see you soon!
