Hello, I'm Ross, a TEFL certified English teacher and a native speaker from the UK. I'm here to help you improve your English and boost your confidence. I enjoy connecting with people from all around the world and helping them achieve their goals. I aim to provide a friendly and professional experience, giving you the tools you need to enhance your English skills.

If you're looking to improve your English language level, you're in the right place. I make use of various interesting and professional materials to help you become a more fluent and effective communicator. In conversation classes I like discussing topics like travel, music, literature, sports, and much more.

I like to create a comfortable and relaxed learning environment. Getting to know my students is essential to me because I believe in tailoring each lesson to their interests and skill level. With thousands of hours of online teaching experience, I've developed an easy-going teaching style and effective techniques to help you improve your language skills. I'm also comfortable correcting errors and have experience teaching people of all ages and backgrounds, including business professionals and those preparing for exams like IELTS, TOEFL, and Cambridge.

I firmly believe that learning is most effective when it's personalised. I prepare each lesson in advance to make it interesting and informative. I adapt my pace and approach to your specific needs. I enjoy making lessons challenging and promoting conversation. I use online resources like Google Docs, YouTube, Off2Class, and other websites to keep our lessons interactive.

Let me know what areas you want to work on, and I can make our classes tailored to your needs. You'll have access to various teaching materials like PDFs, text documents, presentation slides, audio and video files, flashcards, articles, news, quizzes, test templates, graphs, charts, and homework assignments. Your journey to improving your English is about to become even more engaging!

Hello, I'm teacher Kelly and I'm a native English speaker from the UK. 

I completed my TEFL in Asia and have over 6 years teaching experience with kids and adults from a combination of working in schools and online. My students tell me I have a clear and neutral accent that is easy to understand. They often comment on my relaxed and fun energy in my lessons. 

When working with children I create vibrant and interactive lessons that include phonics, writing & reading. After each class a worksheet or activity can be given. When working with adults I also like to create fun lessons. Learning grammar is stressful and I like to focus more on conversation and simplified explanations. We learn about phrasal verbs, idioms and lots of other things a new learner should need to be able to understand and speak like a native. 

As a teacher I believe it is important to make the students feel comfortable and give them a safe space to learn and not to be afraid to make mistakes. Learning a new language is not easy it takes time and dedication, I understand this and try to build the students confidence as much as possible. 

Thank you for checking out my profile and I hope to see you soon in class! 😊

Hello! My name is Tim, I’m from England, and I’m a professional English teacher. I trained at International House in London where I gained the Cambridge CELTA qualification, and I’ve worked with students of all levels and of many different nationalities. I’m also a Spanish student (B2-C1 level) so I know how difficult it can be to learn a foreign language!

I use the ‘communicative approach’ to English teaching, which means that you will have lots of opportunities to practise your speaking skills in a relaxed environment and receive helpful feedback. During a lesson, you have many options; for example, you can follow a structured course (like in a language school), you can develop your speaking skills by having conversation classes (if your level is B1+) or I can help you to prepare for an exam such as IELTS. Depending on your goals, I will adapt to you because you are always the protagonist! What’s more, I know how important it is to learn grammar and vocabulary that you can use in the real world, and I also enjoy helping students to improve their pronunciation by exploring how the different sounds in English are produced. I use a variety of interesting materials (such as articles, audios, modern textbooks, and videos) and we can talk about any topic that is of interest to you.

If you want to book a trial lesson, we can start by getting to know each other, I can assess your current level, and then we can create a plan to ensure that you achieve your learning goals. I hope to meet you very soon!

Hello there! My name is Harrison/Harry, and I was born in & currently live in the US, in a city near Chicago. I've been an English tutor for 5 years, both with Foreign Exchange Students in person as well as online. My teaching style is student-oriented, so depending on your English experience, I can create a unique plan to suit your needs! We can develop & maintain your vocabulary, learn new grammar concepts, practice reading, speaking, writing, or listening, and even revise essays! I also am trained to help with IELTS & TOEFL Tests. Just let me know what you need, and I'll help you as best as I can! ☺️

My interests include: Traveling, Art, Learning Languages, Reading, Mindfulness, Meditation, Yoga, Philosophy, Feminism, LGBTQ+ Issues, Politics, Culture, Fashion, Calligraphy, Music, Contemporary Issues/ Social Justice, etc.

Hi. I am Chris and I’m a qualified and experienced teacher of English as a foreign language and a native speaker of British English. I have taken more than 6000 lessons online and have many regular students. I am very patient and passionate about the English language. My relaxed lesson style will boost your confidence, make you feel less nervous and enable you to improve your English skills by helping you sound more natural.

My lessons will help you achieve your goal of being fluent, reaching proficiency level, reducing your accent, sounding more natural and improving your vocabulary through stimulating conversation on a wide range of topics. Exam technique is as important as ability when taking IELTS or Cambridge exams, I can help you raise your score. My lesson style is relaxed and informal, I will help you feel more confident and less nervous when speaking. I allow students to speak as much as possible but I also listen very attentively for grammar and pronunciation errors and will help you to reduce mistakes through clear explanation and example sentences.

I am flexible about the content of the lessons and try to structure them according to YOUR needs. I will initially assess your level, and focus on reducing weaknesses so that you can see a clear improvement in your level and self confidence. Technique is vital to pass standard exams like IELTS and Cambridge. We will practise technique together and I will give feedback on your answers and offer suggestions on attaining a higher test score. I look forward to working with you soon!

Hi, I’m Liz. I’m a native English speaker and I have spent most of my life living and working in London, England.

I have a CELTA qualification for teaching English as a foreign language, and I also have a BA in English Literature from a central London university.

My teaching experience has been predominately online in 1-2-1 lessons, but I also have experience teaching in person to groups of children at language camp in the UK.

I plan bespoke lessons specifically to meet your needs. During the trial, or initial lesson I will spend time getting to know you and thinking about how I can best help you to meet your goals. This may be by working together on a structured curriculum, or perhaps you need to focus on your speaking skills so you can improve your confidence.

I use a variety of materials, including course books, online exercises and news articles.

I have also helped some of my students to prepare for their English Literature exams, here in the UK, or internationally. I particularly enjoy these lessons as I am passionate about literature.

I would love to help you on your language journey so I hope to meet you soon.

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
