Hello everyone. How are you doing today? I feel like we are going to meet very soon and we will learn from each other amazing life lessons. My... name is Laura and I am a life-long learner. Curiosity and vulnerability are proved to be rich soil for any learning process, in my own teaching experience for about 15 years now. I have always loved languages, from an early age. I am amazed by the sounds of it and the pattern behind the code system. More than that, I love teaching how a language works, giving you the tools, while practising, so you gain autonomy and soon you won't need me anymore. That is the whole point! I focus on shedding light on your limiting beliefs and self-talk by inviting you to look at them with acceptance from a safe space I create for you. We magic happen by working together. There is no teaching without someone willing to learn, so I can only shine as a teacher thank to my awesome students like you. Mistakes are only little bastards that want to make us feel ashamed. Let me show you how to turn it around and laugh at them; then they'll lose all the power over us and we'll actually use them to boost our learning process. I will be here. Stay well and learn something new before going to bed :) Read more

Hi, welcome to my profile! My name is Alessia and I currently live in Italy. I spent a few years in the United States where I deepened my... knowledge of English and American dialects. I am currently specializing in Spanish and German. Over the years, I have given private lessons in Italian, English, Spanish, and Japanese, with Japanese being the most requested at the moment. Regarding Japanese, I had the opportunity to teach the language at an American college with a native Japanese teacher, applying the method that they use to learn their own language. I will help you in a simple way; conversation is really important for learning a language, and a good method is even more fundamental. No days spent on textbooks are needed; consistency and fun during lessons are the most important parts of learning. You will see results right away! I am patient, flexible, and will adapt in every way to your personal needs. I look forward to seeing you on my profile for a trial lesson and discovering an easy and fun method to learn a language as soon as possible. Read more

My name is Nacereddine. 30 years old. I'm sociable. I like meeting and knowing new people. My hobbies are traveling, discovering new cultures,... and reading. Learning foreign languages is my first passion. I'm open-minded and I accept other's visions. I used to be an active member as a teacher volunteer in different international organizations such as AISEC in Poland and Go Camp in Ukraine. I'm a middle school English language teacher in both public and private schools since 2016. I taught French for more than 3 years in middle and high school as a temporary teacher. My career in teaching English as a foreign language started by receiving one year of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) provided by the Algerian Ministry Of Education, I've learned how to be a successful teacher (Methodology, ethics…etc). Today, I'm a full-time teacher responsible for 260 pupils aged between 11-16 years. Also, I'm assigned to teach French as an additional subject. My passion for the teaching profession came as a result of being influenced by my father's previous profession. My method gives huge importance for the treatment of individual differences, i.e; I focus on all different learning styles known by the acronym: VAKT (Visual-Auditory- Kinesthetic -Tactile). Moreover, my way of teaching most of the time is based on the application of Authentic input and output. I give my learners opportunities to interact as much as possible with me and with their peers. Also, I give feedback to each one of my learners to inform him/her about weaknesses and strengths. I organize challenge activities to create a positive and motivational learning environment. I always put in my mind two facts " Everyone has the right to learn, Everyone is capable to learn." Read more

Hello there, My name is Joanne Greene, I am 37 years old and live in sunny Johannesburg, South Africa. I am a native English speaker. I have... completed a number of certificates, namely Business to Business Marketing, my International TEFL Certificate, a Cambridge Assessment Certificate through Future Learn and I also have practical experience teaching English online. My background is tutoring and educating Health Care Professionals around the country, this involved me facilitating many training sessions in a classroom set up. I currently tutor two children aged 8 and 11 four times a week for the last two years. The younger one Catherine started on intermediate and has now moved up to upper intermediate and Josh started on upper intermediate and is now on advanced. I have also been teaching a 55 year old Bulgarian lady for the last 3 years. Vania started on elementary and has now moved through intermediate to upper intermediate level. My methods for teaching is mostly standard for all ages and what is important to note that every student is on their own journey, has different goals and learns at their own pace. It is important as a teacher that I can identify individual needs and provide the best tailor made learning experience for them. Firstly it is important that my students do most of the talking, this helps me to check the understanding of the vocabulary, pronunciation and sentence construction. Secondly I try to elicit as much information from my students to ensure maximum learning takes place. Another one of my very important teaching methods is self-correction and what I mean by that is if a student answers incorrectly I won't jump in immediately and give the correct answer, I would rather give a hint or clue. Most of the time the student is able to answer correct the second time around. This is very important because this is really where learning takes place, when a student discovers the answers themselves. I also believe very much in positive reinforcement, focusing on tasks completed successfully and accurately helps students to stay motivated and builds their self-confidence. Lastly it is vitally important that the vocabulary learned is retained in long term memory and how I do that is by giving the students stories and sentence to write using the vocabulary learnt and by also looking at the vocabulary in different context. I implement all these methods with TPR. I use various media and teaching materials to teach my students, some of which I have created myself such as printouts and flashcards. Some websites that I use are Live Worksheets.com, Grammar Monster.com, Breaking News English.com and ESL Flashcards.com. Through my teaching experience I have learnt the importance of and mastered my skills in building rapport with my students. Always been punctual for lessons, doing sufficient lesson preparation and creating content that I know they will find interesting and informative. Having integrity - I strive to do what I say I will do and at the time I said I would do it. Read more
