Hi! I’m Sue and I live in beautiful South Africa.

I’m a TEFL certified English teacher and I specialise in business English, conversational fluency and pronunciation. I also have about 35 years’ experience in the business sector, including 25 years in education. 

Do you lack confidence when you have to speak English? Do you wish you sounded more fluent? Do you have to keep repeating yourself because people can’t understand you? Frustrating, isn’t it?!

I want to help you achieve your English-speaking goals, and to feel natural when you speak English. As you become more fluent, you will feel more confident. I want you to feel just like a native English speaker. That’s my goal for you!

I’ve taught hundreds of students – just like you – from beginners to advanced.

I’m a fun and patient teacher and my classroom is a relaxed, safe space where it’s okay to make lots of mistakes, because that is how you learn. 

My passion is helping people who struggle with pronunciation – those tricky English sounds that are so difficult to say. Every language has unique challenges and I really believe my techniques can help you. Let me work with you to transform your English!

Learning happens in a fun and positive environment and when we experience language in different ways. I like to use a variety of learning methods: videos, podcasts, interesting texts, role-plays, real-life conversations and simulations. There’ll be lots of opportunities to practice – to build your speaking skills and your confidence. I’ll teach you tips and techniques that you can use, and I’ll give you practical tools to help you improve your English fluency.

Our trial lesson will be mostly conversational, where we’ll talk about your English goals and what you want to achieve. Then, I’ll create a tailored learning plan for you. We’ll focus on YOUR unique learning needs, and I’ll work with you to help you achieve your goals. 

I believe in patient correction and constructive feedback – so that you know what you’re doing well, and areas you should work on. 

In my spare time, I love learning Italian (Yes, I’m a student too!!), so I understand the challenges and frustrations that come with learning a language.

I’m excited to go on this journey with you. Let me help you speak naturally, sound professional, and feel confident.

Book a trial session with me and let’s get started!

Hi there! My name is Jacopo. I am TEFL-certified and have now had 3 years' experience teaching English conversation to teenagers.

🗣 I mainly focus on speaking, listening, conversational skills, and fluency. If you feel stuck in any of these, feel free to book a trial lesson with me now. We will evaluate your level, come up with a personalised study plan, and elaborate strategies together to help you feel at ease speaking English.

📝 I also routinely help students looking to get an English language certificate or to pass an exam (Cambridge B1 Preliminary, B2 First, C1 Advanced, IELTS, TOEFL). I can help you achieve your goals by helping you integrate best study practices, master some exam techniques, and develop time-management skills.

🧑‍🎓 What I especially enjoy is offering my students a direct, hands-on, immersive experience, encouraging them to use only English right from our first lesson. I mainly like to work with communicative activities to improve my students' fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and last but not least, confidence.

Hello, I'm Ross, a TEFL certified English teacher and a native speaker from the UK. I'm here to help you improve your English and boost your confidence. I enjoy connecting with people from all around the world and helping them achieve their goals. I aim to provide a friendly and professional experience, giving you the tools you need to enhance your English skills.

If you're looking to improve your English language level, you're in the right place. I make use of various interesting and professional materials to help you become a more fluent and effective communicator. In conversation classes I like discussing topics like travel, music, literature, sports, and much more.

I like to create a comfortable and relaxed learning environment. Getting to know my students is essential to me because I believe in tailoring each lesson to their interests and skill level. With thousands of hours of online teaching experience, I've developed an easy-going teaching style and effective techniques to help you improve your language skills. I'm also comfortable correcting errors and have experience teaching people of all ages and backgrounds, including business professionals and those preparing for exams like IELTS, TOEFL, and Cambridge.

I firmly believe that learning is most effective when it's personalised. I prepare each lesson in advance to make it interesting and informative. I adapt my pace and approach to your specific needs. I enjoy making lessons challenging and promoting conversation. I use online resources like Google Docs, YouTube, Off2Class, and other websites to keep our lessons interactive.

Let me know what areas you want to work on, and I can make our classes tailored to your needs. You'll have access to various teaching materials like PDFs, text documents, presentation slides, audio and video files, flashcards, articles, news, quizzes, test templates, graphs, charts, and homework assignments. Your journey to improving your English is about to become even more engaging!

Hi there!  My name is Deborah. I’m a native English speaker from the US, and I create customized lessons based on your level, goals, interests and learning style.

My #1 priority is to provide a warm, supportive atmosphere where you’ll feel comfortable to speak. I think that a communicative approach is key to language learning. I’ll be sure to give you plenty of opportunities to practice speaking, so that you’ll be able to find your words and express yourself confidently outside of class.

My other top priority is to learn, over time, how to craft sessions that will be both fun and productive for you.  Language learning should be pleasantly challenging. If the material is too easy, you’ll be bored. If it’s too hard, you’ll be overwhelmed. It’s my job to find “just the right amount of challenge” for you. I want you to enjoy and look forward to our sessions. After all, the “best” approach for you will be the one that you choose to stick with for the long-term.

Thank you for reviewing my profile.  If you feel that we may be a good tutor/learner fit, please feel free to book a trial session.  During our first (trial) session, we’ll get to know each other, and we’ll work together to decide on an approach that will work well for you. 

My background & experience:

• CeOLT certification (from polyglot Olly Richards' program, StoryLearning), Feb 2023
• TESOL/TEFL certification, Dec 2022
• Languages:  Spanish (Intermediate) & French (Basic)

Please note : I work from my paid Zoom account, which has no time limits.  You don’t have to have a Zoom account.  Just click the link, then agree to open the session!

My name is Mark, I'm TEFL- certified and I specialize in creating a comfortable and fun English learning environment.

I have been helping adults ( ages 18 +)  online for over 10 years, during which time, I have also studied multiple languages.

I understand the difficulties of learning a new language and attempt to address these issues directly in my sessions. 

I believe that learning is a by-product of good teaching.

I understand that teaching is not 1 method for all situations, and requires adjusting and variety throughout the process.

I want to offer fun and excitement to the learning environment and process.  Helping you become a confident and fluid speaker, requires consistency of instruction along with diligence in practice. Together we can create an amazing learning environment that will allow you to achieve your learning goals.

I can assist you with TOEFL, IELTS, CELPIP, LSAT, SAT, PTE, and other EXAM preps. I'm able to help you simply focus on conversational English, expressing yourself in everyday situations. The formal language of business English can be difficult terrain to traverse, but I can guide you through the process. Many students have just wanted to improve grammar and vocabulary, session work along with between session work (homework). We can tackle consistency and fluency.

Feel free to have a trial lesson to see how I can help you be the English speaker you want to become,

I'm Ryan, I am a Canadian Certified English TESOL instructor.  I am a Native English speaker, currently living in Mexico.  I have taught all ages and abilities.  In the past I have taught at an English school but now I am mostly teaching online, which I enjoy al lot!  I love teaching English to beginners, intermediates and I also really look forward to helping advanced leaners prep for IELTS, CELPIP or even preparing you for your next job interview.  

In my classes we will work on conversation skills, grammar, phrasal verbs, idioms, and new vocabulary, also we can review any current English school work you have.   I know that I was talking a little fast in my video, but I promise to slow down in our class as my students ability dictates.  

Everyone learns in different ways, I'll quickly find out what's the best way to teach to you and we'll have fun doing it.  Whether you are a beginner or need some help with your conversation skills I will be happy to assist you!

About me:

I’m Diana, a friendly and patient English teacher from the beautiful city of Cape Town currently living in Portugal. In 2017, I completed my TESOL and TEYLT trainings and since then I have worked with students from all around the world both in language schools and online. I have lived and taught English in 5 different countries (Spain, Portugal, Indonesia, Turkey and South Africa) to students of all levels (beginners to advanced). In 2021, I became certified to teach Ielts and have thus helped numerous students with  their exam preparations too.

I'm passionate about learning and teaching languages and have studied Portuguese, Spanish, German and Turkish. Through my own language studies, I have learnt that an active conversational approach is the best way to master a language! Some of my other passions include yoga, travel, food and art!:)

My lessons:

My approach to teaching depends a lot on the level and goals of the student. Each student is unique with different necessities so I don’t have a one size fits all proposition. Lessons are tailored to you and are adapted as you progress.Expect to receive a lot of feedback, corrections and if you would like, homework activities.

In our first class, we will have an introductory lesson where I do a speaking evaluation, we get to know each other and we discuss a future learning strategy. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message :)

I hope to see you soon!

I am joyful, energetic and efficient.

I will cater to each student's individual needs through an interactive lesson.

I have a TEFL certificate as well as an ECD certificate.

I have more than 10 years experience in teaching.  

FUN fact - I am also a gymnastics coach.  

What started as a volunteering project in a French high school became my profession when I started working as an English teacher in a language school in Hungary. I held business English and everyday English courses for all levels, mostly teaching small groups of adults. Apart from that, I also held private Hungarian and French lessons through the school. Currently I am living in Italy, and apart from working for a local language school, I keep teaching online because I travel a lot, and working remotely allows me to keep doing what I love, from anywhere in the world.

I have a Master's degree in Teaching English and a level 5 TEFL certification. I have been teaching for more than five years now, from Hungarian to French to Italian schools, as well as having students from many other nationalities through online teaching.

When you become my student I will ask about your goals, assess your level, and recommend a course book based on your level and needs. In case you would only like to practice communication or wouldn't like to learn from a book, we can also simply talk and occassionally use some worksheets to make the lessons more varied and enjoyable. All my lessons are generally very communicative – I try to stay in the background and correct you when necessary, and guide you through the exercises instead of giving you the answers. From experience I know that real learning happens when you figure things out for yourself, and not when you are passively listening for your teacher's explanations.:)
