Personal Description:
I am currently a first year student of The University of Manchester studying Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American studies. I am very keen to gain some experience in tutoring as I plan to teach in the future. Besides from doing modules in Spanish and Portuguese in University I also study an Intermediate French module. I am particularly keen on tutoring languages as it is something I feel passionate about. I am available to tutor in Belfast when I am on holidays from University [around the Christmas, Easter and Summer breaks].

Teaching Experience:
Although I have no current teaching experience, I have always been very helpful for my peers and younger siblings when they had trouble with their studies. I believe that I have a natural ability to help people learn.

Tutoring Approach:
Primarily, I would decipher the tutee's particular learning needs in their subject. I would then draw from information from the Internet and from my own notes to structure a coherent teaching plan. I would also endeavour to make the learning as fun as possible.

Personal Description:
I am 23 years old and have just graduated from the University of Nottingham with a 2.1 degree in French and Hispanic Studies. I have found that studying languages has been extremely inspiring and I would love the opportunity to share my passion for them with younger learners. I am looking to broaden my teaching experience before embarking upon a career in International Relations.

Teaching Experience:
I have a wide range of experience in teaching and working with children. Since leaving school I have taught English as a foreign language in Ecuador, Ghana, Spain and the U.K. I taught English in an Ecuadorian primary school for six months and in a Ghanian primary and secondary school for two months. Last summer was spent teaching English at a Spanish language school for teenagers.

At university I completed a TEFL module, teaching international university students, as well as an Ambassador's module which involved teaching French in a secondary school in Nottingham for a semester.

Tutoring Approach:
As a younger student I found learning languages extremely daunting. It is important that a language learner feels as confident as possible in order to progress and I would like to support learners in achieving this.

I believe that it is important for students to learn about the cultures of countries where language are spoken as well grammar and vocabulary in order to gain a deeper understanding of the language whilst making learning more interesting and improving cultural awareness.

As a GCSE stuent I had a mathematics tutor which boosted my grade, therefore, I feel that I could really make a positive difference. I am very organised and approachable and I think it is important to make learning fun and relevant.

Personal Description:
I'm a young woman of 21 years of age. I'm Luso-British, and I'm fluent and articulate in Portuguese and English, and I have published material in both languages.
I have also drawn since I was very young, and I've been paid for art commissions since I was 15. My grades at all these subjects have always been high, and I can provide official documentation with my results.

Teaching Experience:
I have informally taught schoolmates with English and art throughout the years, since around middle school. I currently help friends to improve their drawing.

Tutoring Approach:
When growing up, whenever nearing a hand-in for art or English class, my peers would always want me to do their work. I refused, and instead, I would walk them to the library and tutor them. They would come to me more and more every year until the end of high school, because I became well known for helping fellow students achieve positive marks, when they would have otherwise flunked.

In teaching English, I noticed that talking tends to work better than just writing, so that is what I do. I pick up what the student already knows, and begin to add things slowly to conversation while explaining, adding new vocabulary and grammar as we go. I also know that giving the student reading material on subjects they are passionate about will boost learning a huge deal. I taught a friend how to read English just from teaching her from her favourite song lyrics and poetry.
The same thing goes for Portuguese.

In art, the first thing I need is for the student to draw a human figure from observation with a time limit. There are many signs that show just what level the person is at. Do they shave the head off, or place the eyes too high in the skull? Or maybe they cannot understand proportions very well? Maybe they just need help on how to think in three dimensions. At a higher level, do they understand the importance of balance in compositions?
And then there's Photoshop. I have a laptop with Photoshop CS2 as well as Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 installed, and it is perfect to transport and let the student explore and learn under my watch.

I am available at any time, therefor I am very flexible with scheduling. I can tutor at my home or any other location. I also provide snacks, if at my place.

Teaching Experience:
I have tutored in the past and had pretty good results from my students.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to tutoring, especially Maths, is to try and get the student to understand as much as possible, and not just learn it by heart. That way, when the maths skils are needed in the future, the student will be better prepared.

Personal Description:
I am a Brazilian physicist who has lived in London for a while. Now I am with my wife in Germany, after earning my Ph.D. in Sao Paulo. I want to gain more experience on teaching and I think being a tutor is particularly motivating way of doing so. Naturally I am now only available for online tutoring, for those living in UK.

Teaching Experience:
I have 1-year experience teaching physics at university level.
I have also tutored younger kids in physics during my high school years.

Tutoring Approach:
It is important to show to the student that 'anyone can do it', that it is just a matter of calmly working on the matter. Commonly attention to this point has to be kept until the results themselves persuade the student of his/her own abilities.
My style is quite simple: I basically give a class on the subject, making sure that I am being followed step-by-step. Then, special attention is paid to exercises, which at first are worked in the same way; the student should then solve (at first together, and then by him/herself) a number of them, until s/he feels confident on the task.

Personal Description:
I am studying Portuguese, Spanish and History at the University of Nottingham where I have just finished my second year. I grew up bilingual in Italian and English as I am Italian and enjoy learning more about languages, therefore Portuguese and Spanish were a natural step for me to take. I am enthusiastic about languages and feel they are important for everyone to learn whether for general interest, to learn about different cultures or to improve employment opportunities.
I am a highly people orientated person. I enjoy meeting new people and understanding different points of view. This has been a strong part of my interest of language and subsequently travel. I am an active person who enjoys sports, going out with friends, current affairs, reading and travelling.

Teaching Experience:
I tutored a year 8 pupil last summer (2008) for a month before I returned to Nottingham with the start of my university second year.

Tutoring Approach:
The main benefit I bring outside my experience with language is my enthusiasm for them and the fact that as a student myself I offer a different approach than the classroom teacher. I found this helpful in retaining my interest in languages when I was in school and I think that kids would find me more approachable in the way I found my Spanish assistant in school more fun and easier to relate to when I was in school. I like to use film and music as a learning tool as people generally relate to these better. However I also recognise the importance of grammar and being a student myself have developed methods I still use to understand it more easily and in greater depth. The most important thing in languages is relating to them and developing the motivation to learn them, the methods around this come easily with some guidance motivation is created.

Personal Description:
I have a degree in Modern Languages and Literature with QTS and a post-degree Diploma in Teaching Foreign languages and a Masters in Sciences of Education - Educacional ICT.

Teaching Experience:
I have 11 years experience of teaching MFL at high school level and also to adults.
I teach Spanish, Portuguese, French and Latin. I taught at the University of California Santa Barbara as a Lecturer before I moved to UK, where my husband is from. I also worked for the Extremadura Government in Spain as a teacher and as a translator. I am now teaching in London, Spanish, French and Portuguese syllabuses and I have been involved in intensive exam preparation for students of GCSE and A levels. I also revise plans and advise PGCE students in Spanish and Portuguese.

Tutoring Approach:
I like to think of myself as a highly motivated and dedicated teacher of MFL that fosters high student self-expectation. This can be done by building commitment to quality education and developing strong bonds with students, parents and Faculty. For example, I believe in employing a variety of classroom techniques to raise achievement: I have recently developed a bank of resources for French teaching to accommodate different learning styles. Aside from good teaching, assessing students' progress is important. For example target setting and monitoring is an important method in ensuring that students reach their potential. Finally, create motivating learning environments that capture the imagination of the students, using for example students performance charts with points to show each student's progress in each field and this can be used to monitor a student's acquisition of the target language.

Personal Description:
I have been tutoring Portuguese Language for more than 13 years and also writing articles for magazines on the subject of language acquisition.

I work in London and Essex area and would be glad to meet you for a chat in case you are interested in starting learning the language.

Teaching Experience:
I am used to all sorts of students, from any background and it is my pleasure to help people mastering in a foreign language.

Tutoring Approach:
When it comes to make a tailored course, I take this philosophy very seriously and no material and course plan is the same as students needs are different and most of all, the speed one wants to have during the classes are also very personal.

I am writing my own material and every now and then I make use of some of the chapters I have already prepared as a complement to the course book we choose to use as our class work backbone.

I use videos, music, flashcards and lots of cultural awareness too.

Personal Description:
Hi,

I'm a fully qualified, professional Translator and Interpreter, fluent in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan.

I am certified by the Chartered Institute of Linguists and I tutor students as well.

Teaching Experience:
Private tutoring for pupils of all ages. I've had pupils as young as 4, learning French, a 26 year old student doing her M.A. in Spanish and a 65 year old lady who wished to study Portuguese because she was going on holiday to Brazil.

In addition to private pupils, I've also taught for companies such as O2 and British Airways.

Tutoring Approach:
I ensure that every pupil receives tuition that is based on his/her own needs and abilities. Everybody is different and will learn at their own pace. A tutor's job is to bring out the best in a student's abilities.
