Hi, welcome to my profile!
My name is Alessia and I currently live in Italy. I lived some years in America where I deepened my knowledge of English and American dialects. I am currently specializing in the Spanish and German. In all these years I have given private lessons of Italian, English, Spanish and Japanese, at the moment the most required language. Regarding Japanese, I had the opportunity to experience the teaching of the language in an American College with a native Japanese teacher, implementing the method that they themselves use to learn their language. I will help you in a simple way; conversation is really important to learn a language and even more a good method. No days spent on textbooks are needed, constancy and fun during lessons are the most important part for learning. You will see the results immediately! I am patient, flexible and I will adapt in all ways to your personal needs. I'll wait for you on my profile for the trial lesson and discover an easy and fun method to learn a language as soon as possible.

I offer personalized English classes which are really suitable to the student's level and motivations.
I work equally the four main skills of the language throughout authentic materials such as songs, videos, movies or short films and even magazines and newspapers articles. I also combine my classes with course books whose levels are challenging enough to help the students to make an accurate and confident learning progress.
I offer grammar and vocabulary exercises and activities to help the students to enrich the language's development.
My classes are online within reduced groups of students to maintain classes well balanced and entertaining enough. I also offer individual lessons.
The duration of the classes are ideally 60 minutes long.

Hello everyone!
My name is Lucia and I have been teaching English for 13 years now.
I am a CELTA and CELTYL qualified senior language trainer, a mentor and a qualified teacher trainer as well.
I absolutely love teaching English in a fun, engaging manner that is appealing to all my students. I like discussing all lessons with students so that each course can meet their needs at every moment.
Lessons should be relaxing, motivating and enjoyable and I always like to hear my students say at the end of the lesson:
"Hey! Teacher! When did this lesson finish? It feels like we've just started!"
So, if you would like to learn English, prepare for your Cambridge exam, or just improve your communications skills I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU ALL.
See you all during the lessons!

I have studied for several years in different institutions to obtain my degree. I started teaching Romanian years ago in Romania. Later on, I have also offered my help and support to Spanish students, as I have been living in Spain for many years.
The learning offered depends on the interest and age of my students. They can choose what suits them best, so I will adapt to the personal needs of each of them.
A mixture of traditional and new methodologies will be used to obtain satisfactory results for both parties: student-teacher.
We will be using study books, audio and video materials, all kinds of worksheets, games and of course conversations, which will lead the students to have a better pronunciation and oral comprehension.

Hello, I am Daniela, a qualified teacher of Bulgarian as a foreign language. I am originally from Sofia, Bulgaria. I have a passion for languages; I speak fluent English and Spanish, Czech and Slovenian. I have a very practical approach to languages. My method is very communicative and gives lots of initiative to the student - I teach through real-life situations and role plays, so my students start speaking from the first lesson. I am always interested to understand your motivation why learn Bulgarian and adapt fully to the needs and likes of each student. I make my lessons fun and enjoyable for every student, as I believe it is very important for the student to enjoy learning, and to be looking forward to the next class. Many times we discuss culture, traditions, history and all kinds of topics that the student is interested in, and in this way, progress comes much faster.

Hello!
I am Jérôme.
There has never been a better time to learn a foreign language. We all have a good reason to learn at least one: our job, our friend circle, our envy to travel.
I have been training professionals and students to speak fluently and confidently for 10 years. Their level has significantly improved. They have got very good results and evolved professionally and personally!
Is it really necessary to remind you why English is so important? The world’s number 1 language, a must for those who want to be internationally successful. It enables you to communicate with 1 billion people in the world! In other words, whether you want to travel, work or live abroad, speaking English is necessary.
French is a major language, if you want to have a career in tourism, luxury, be a chef or work for international organizations. So many doors open when you speak French! It is the 6th most spoken language in the world, with 300 million people on the 5 continents.
Foreign languages are my great passion in life. That is why I am determined to see you make progress. This is YOUR LANGUAGE COURSE! I will adapt the classes to your needs and your interests and will propose you customized activities. Together, we will improve your written and oral expression. I will train you to speak like a native and take you to the next level.
If you want to speak English or French fluently too, do not hesitate to contact me! I am convinced that you will also have something to teach me!

I graduated with a bachelor's in Elementary Education from J.H Cerilles State College last 2018 and passed the licensure examination for teachers in the same year.
I am also pursuing my master's degree at Southern Mindanao Colleges.
I also acquired my TESOL and TEYL which qualifies me to teach learners English as their second language
I have been teaching English as a second language for over 3 years.
I was able to teach from zero-level learners to advance learners, as my students' age ranged from 3 years old to 60 years old.
I like teaching a variety of students because that way I will be able to master handling different kinds of learners ad address their needs appropriately.
I am using the student-center and communicative approach in teaching my students because I want my students to learn at their own pace, at the same time they will also learn how to communicate.
With these qualifications, I am confident to quality in your company. as I am very willing to enhance my skills especially in teaching English as a second language.

I practice and adopt methods according to each student’s ability. It involves assignments customised by me, daily one-to-one conversations with my students about different topics, timely tests, picking up suggestions on what is working for the student and what is not working and changing methods which would best fit the student. I’m a Finance Analyst with an experience of more than 3 years in the Corporate Industry. I also take online English classes with the utmost motive of a better community of English Speakers. Mainly based out of Mumbai and Chennai, I also know the language barriers people who work in the Corporate world and the School students face. I am here to help them

Ciao! My name is Mauro, I am native Italian from Calabria! I am a very passionate teacher, I love to share my language and my knowledge about Italy, and its culture, films, music, literature, arts, food!!! I firmly believe that learning is based on trust between teacher and student, and the first objective of my classes is to individuate student's objectives and preferences. My teaching methodology is integrated: I think that it is important to work on all of linguistic abilities: oral and writing comprehension and production. I also think that lessons must be as much as fun as possible, and I use a lot of authentic material: songs, films, cooking recipes, newspapers, advertising and so on...
