SIELE: Exam preparation

Hello! Daniel Lane here!
I am a fully qualified EFL teacher with a degree in Spanish Philosophy, and a CELTA.
6 years teaching experience, teaching all ages, but specialist with ages 11+ of all levels and with Cambridge/ certificado de idiomas.

My methods are focused on generating a good teacher- student relationship and making classes as dynamic and as interesting as possible. I use a mainly visual approach and encourage as much creativity as possible.

I like to use a combination of articles online plus a variety of presentations which are as interactive as possible. Text books are sometimes used to reinforce certain things taught in class.

Hello, my name is Kseniia. I am 29 years old and I am a teacher of Russian as a foreign language with more than 8 years of experience.
I’m gonna show you that Russian is beautiful, interesting and easy to learn.
While teaching I tell my students about real life in Russia, culture, literature and traditions.
With me you are a specialist in Russian ;)

Hello! My name is Ainhoa, I am Spanish and I live in Bilbao, a city in the north of Spain. I love languages ​​and learning about new cultures, that is why I decided to teach Spanish. I find it very gratifying to see the students improve.

I am patient and cheerful, and I strive to create a comfortable environment where students are not afraid to make mistakes. I am positive and I firmly believe that anyone with effort, perseverance and correct accompaniment can improve.

I am an online Spanish teacher certified by ELE International and I have been teaching Spanish since 2019. In 2020 I formalized my business and became freelance.

In these years, I have studied Spanish grammar thoroughly and I have tried many teaching methods that were taught to me in my training, which has led me to create my own method with what I have seen has given better results. I use spaced repetition, create projects, do real-life rollplays, and have the student come to the correct conclusion on their own using questions. For all this, we will use manuals that will guide your learning, the campus diffusion books.

I have helped students of all levels to improve Spanish until they can speak correctly. Each student learns differently and has their own challenges, so I have learned which resources work best for each person.

In my classes you will find a smily face and a relaxed atmosphere, in which you will feel free to ask questions as much as necessary and to express yourself without fear of mistakes.

See you soon!

I'm an English language teacher for more than 15 years with CELTA ( Cambridge English Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages); for sure, my lessons are active and updated. I can work with different levels mostly with adults.
I've been teaching lessons on line since October 2019 using Zoom.
Students' participation is maximised in my language lessons, for sure they are student-centred; in other words, I ensure plenty of student talking time through the use of communicative activities and consistent pair checks, clarifying the target language to an appropriate depth and in a student-centred way.
Come and join my classes, you´ll never feel like regreting your decision!!!

Hi, I'm Francesca

I have been teaching Italian to adults since 2010, individual and group lessons. I have a degree in English and French, and I have a diploma of interpreter in German. In the summer I teach Italian in full immersion courses in Tuscany, where I live.

I really enjoy helping people to learn more not only about Italian as a language but also the rich Italian culture.
Usually I divide my lessons into three parts: a bit of grammar (which is unfortunately very useful...but I can teach you some tricks to learn without much effort!), a listening/reading comprehension part usually with videos, songs, docs about Italy and then ... we talk about Italy!

I will provide all material, and I'll send them by email.

My name is Debi and I’m from Germany. I am an A1 to C2 level German teacher and have 5 years of teaching experience.
During my studies of educational science, I gave individual tutoring and helped students to catch up on their learning as well as to improve their performance results.
Furthermore, I offered German language courses to adults of various educational and professional backgrounds and helped them to achieve their desired learning goals. Many of my students started as beginners and were able to reach C1 level in less than 12 months.
The students gave me as feedback that I can convey knowledge content well and understandably.
For this reason, I want to help you to increase your level of German in a very short time.

Teaching materials:
• Deutsch Hören & Sprechen
• Grammatik & Wortschatz
• Worksheets

My lessons:
My teaching style is a mix of direct learning and task-based learning.
In my lessons, you are encouraged to always speak, so that you can learn the language naturally. If you make mistakes, I will gently correct you. From time to time, you will be able to improve your German-speaking skills. You will also be asked to write short essays about a certain topic or a special event in your life. This can be done as homework or during the lessons, if there is still some time left for it.
Furthermore, you will complete a variety of image and video-based assignments which will help you to acquire new structures, forms, and vocabulary in German.

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.

(I ONLY OFFER GROUP CLASSES ON HERE :) )

Hello, my name is Rebecca Rygaard.
Recently graduated as a teacher of Danish and English for the primary and lower secondary schools in Denmark, according to the Bachelor's Degree Program in Education, from University College Copenhagen.

I am born and raised in Denmark, and am a native speaker of Danish.

In my teaching I use a communicative approach, focused on having us communicate with each other and produce language to learn it. We will learn both from "input" (what we hear, read) and "output" (what we say, write).

This communicative approach will be focused on "real life" and authentic situations - that means that I'll actually base the teaching on my students lives. I.e. we could be talking about what has brought you to want to learn Danish. There will be authentic language only in this class - not language about hypothetical situations, that you might not ever need.

As part of this method, we'll be using task-based learning - you'll often learn the language through "tasks" in my class, with the point that you'll have to use communication, in cooperation with your peers (or me) to solve them. It's a lot of fun, I guarantee.

You will also be learning about the Danish culture, as I believe culture and language go together, and one cannot be understood without the other (I very much look forward to introducing you to Danish customs, traditions and food).

I'll be focused on your progress, rather your 'errors', as I don't believe in teaching a language by focusing on student's "mistakes", but on their potential. There is an "interlanguage" that is the language that emerge in between your original language, and the language you're trying to learn. And it is only normal that this language is a bit of a mix, that is ever-evolving.

With me, you'll also have the important advantage that I am both a teacher of English and Danish, and therefore know how the languages correlate.

I've learned about all of these aspects "the communicative approach", "task-based learning", "cultural studies" and "interlanguage" and a "functional view on language learning", as a part of my education, and I know they are all a part of recent research in the field.

I have prepared a lesson plan for beginners - which can both be used for group- and single lessons. But I can also create a specifically crafted lesson plan just for you and your needs/level, or if you already know Danish, but just want to improve it.

I hope we meet, and look forward to helping you learn some Danish :)
