I am passionate about lifelong learning and learn something new every year for fun. I am a coffee-drinking, book-reading, cake-loving, walker in the rain. I do yoga every day in the garden to the alarm of the cat next door. I enjoy travel, diverse cultures and meeting new people.

I think that accurate communication is vital. We must understand each other in our global village.

I believe that my role in life is to help people to develop their English skills and communicate without misunderstanding.

Personal Description:
I was born in the Dominican Republic and my family moved to the USA as a young teen where I finished my High School and university education.
I have lived in many different places like Florida, Jamaica, Curacao, Suriname and now London.
I absolutely love to teach languages. It brings me great satisfaction to help my students learn to communicate in the language of their choice.

Tutoring Approach:
A teacher should be able to make his lessons dynamic and interactive, always engaging the student and learning about their learning style. In a group setting it is important to differentiate and in 1:1 lessons it is vital to tailor the lessons according to the needs of the student.

Personal Description:
Hello! I'm a native Russian speaker from Kaliningrad who has been living in the UK since 1996 - now calling Yorkshire home for even longer than Russia. My life is truly shared between both cultures, and I am passionate about teaching and celebrating both the Russian and English languages.

I am a fully qualified teacher in both the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom, and I hold degrees in English (Kaliningrad), Linguistics (University of York), and Translation & Interpreting (University of Bradford).

As a parent of a bilingual son, I have a strong personal and professional interest in bilingual education. In 2017, I completed a specialist course at Moscow State University on Teaching Russian to Bilingual Children.

In March 2022, I became a published author with my book My Favourite Subject is Russian, a collection of 30 texts designed to support students preparing for GCSE exams.

Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) since 1991 and RFL (Russian as a Foreign Language) since 2000, building extensive experience with learners of diverse abilities, needs, and backgrounds.

My teaching experience spans both one-to-one and classroom settings in independent and language schools, including Prince Henry's Grammar School, Bradford Grammar School, and Bradford Girls' Grammar School. In recent years, I have expanded my reach nationally by successfully delivering lessons online.

Tutoring Approach:
I see teaching the Russian language and culture as both a privilege and a personal mission, and I am always excited to welcome new learners. Their curiosity and enthusiasm inspire me to design lessons tailored to individual goals, interests, and timescales. Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and agree on a clear, personalised learning plan. Every learner is unique, and I pride myself on being flexible and resourceful in adapting to different learning styles and aspirations.

For learners with prior knowledge of Russian, I offer a diagnostic assessment to establish their current level. I work in line with the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) and TRKI/TORFL (Test of Russian as a Foreign Language) standards, and I encourage students to work towards these internationally recognised qualifications.

We often select a core textbook to guide the learning process. I keep up to date with the latest teaching materials and regularly review new resources, enabling me to recommend the most suitable options based on each learner's level and objectives. However, lessons are not limited to textbooks - language can also be explored through films, documentaries, photography, art, and a wide range of online resources.

Learning with me extends beyond lesson time. I provide a structured learning plan supported by carefully chosen materials, along with additional recommendations such as books, articles, films, and podcasts. I set meaningful homework to ensure steady progress and to keep the learning process engaging and effective. Whether you are working towards a specific exam or learning at a more relaxed pace, the approach is always shaped around your needs.

I also offer guidance on effective learning strategies and provide expert support for exam preparation, including Pearson Edexcel GCSE and A-level, Cambridge IGCSE First Language, and TORFL. I additionally work as an independent examiner for speaking assessments.

Personal Description:
I am a qualified teacher of both Spanish and French with extensive, recent experience teaching to both GCSE and A Level in UK-based schools.

Teaching Experience:
I have 10 successful years experience in UK schools teaching primary Spanish through to GCSE and A Level. I have worked in both the state and independent school sectors. Young people I have tutored have all passed or improved their expected grades after working with me. I also have experience supporting adult learners looking to develop or improve language skills for holiday travel or business purposes. I have additional experience teaching English as a foreign or second language with primary and secondary aged students. I have been an A Level examiner for a number of years.

Tutoring Approach:
I enjoy working with students on a 1 to 1 basis or in small groups and am particularly keen to help them overcome the 'I can't do it!' mindset so frequently seen in language learners in the UK. I have an excellent working knowledge of Spanish grammar and am familiar with many of the A Level texts and films exam boards require students to be able to understand and analyse.

Happy to work face to face or online where distance is an issue.

Personal Description:
I am native Turkish. I am living in London now and teaching / translating Turkish.

**DBS CHECKED (ENHANCED)**

(Price is per student per hour.)

Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching languages for over 20 years. I am native Turkish and studied English Teaching in University in Turkey. I provide either online lessons via Zoom and Skype or other online platforms, or face to face lessons at student's premises.

Tutoring Approach:
In tutoring, what works is the one-to-one relationship between the student and tutor. With only one person to focus on, tutors can try a variety of teaching techniques in order to work out the most effective way of helping the student understand a topic.

Personal Description:
I am a native German speaker. I have a BA (Honours) degree in French, German and English Linguistics and a Cert HE in Teaching and Learning Support. I can teach French up to KS3 and German up to A Level/Adult. I also offer English language lessons for speakers of other languages. I enjoy Yoga, being creative, listening to live music and travelling.

Teaching Experience:
I worked as a German language assistant for 8 years, preparing pupils for their GCSE and A Level exams. I ran speaking practice sessions, grammar workshops and supported learning in class. I have extensive experience working in Education, including SEN.
I have been a freelance private tutor since 2013

Tutoring Approach:
ONLINE & F2F lessons available!

Due to the current COVID situation, I encourage online lessons via Skype (or other online platforms on request).

My approach to tutoring is student-centred.

Depending on the age and requirements of the student, I can adapt my teaching approach to the individual's needs. I am happy to teach groups of up to 5 students. It would work out less expensive!

Primary level would be teaching through songs and games in a fun way. Lessons usually last 30 mins, which will cost £20 per pupil for a one-to-one session. I am happy to teach a small group of pupils and the cost can be shared between them to make the lessons less expensive (£10 per pupil for 4 pupils in one session).

GCSE and A Level would be focusing on exam preparation and speaking practice, supporting the student to become more confident. I would base my teaching on supporting the subject teacher.

Adult teaching would be tailored to the individual's needs. Some students just want to improve their speaking, therefore I would tailor the lessons to accommodate their need. Some may just want to learn some basic phrases for a holiday in Germany, I would plan lessons based on that need.

I can also run grammar, conversation and writing workshops in German.

I now offer English (as a foreign language).

Personal Description:
I am an extremely well qualified and experienced teacher of modern languages. I worked in many schools in the UK and for the most part as head of MFL. I also worked in China and Germany teaching English. Since retiring from full time teaching I have been teaching private lessons. I have extensive knowledge of the GCSE and A level courses and I have been very successful with my students. On average their grades have improved by at least two from their mock exams.

Teaching Experience:
I started teaching after leaving university when I went to China and worked for a United Nations Development Project. I then worked for a private language school in Germany. I became a qualified teacher and worked in several schools in Essex. I quickly worked my way up the ranks and became Head of Modern Languages. My last full time position was as Head of MFL at Medina College on the Isle of Wight. Since then I have been successfully teaching private lessons to students aged 5 to adults.

Tutoring Approach:
I use a variety of techniques adapted to my student's needs. I like to make my lessons fun and interactive. I follow the syllabus closely in the case of exam students and make sure that students are confident in all four skills. I elicit information from the students rather than just teach them how something works. By using this method students are more likely to retain the knowledge. I am happy to teach students individually or in pairs or groups.

Personal Description:
I'm a Music Graduate, and will soon be a Philosophy Graduate [Edinburgh Napier University and University of Wales TSD, respectively]. I work in the third sector covering off humanitarian needs in Africa, Animal welfare in Asia and the care environment/Homelessness in the UK.

At the moment I manage volunteering contracts with Goldman Sachs, National Grid, Moorhouse Consulting, Visa and Prysmian Group.

I'm quite relaxed about most things, I do some consulting with small charities and I play a lot of music!

Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching music and English language periodically for around 20 years. I have taught privately, at Music Workshop Bath and Bath City College. I taught English language at a number of summer schools in Edinburgh, Bournemouth and at Cardonald College in Glasgow.

Tutoring Approach:
My style prioritises the needs of the student. Sometimes this is in relation to their immediate curriculum and is supplemented with a view to future study, if there is expectation that future study is probable. Sometimes, if the focus is solely on lifting a grade or working on soft skills around the subject - research/focus etc. then I make that the priority. All in agreement with the student.

In short - student focused.
