Nicola
Experienced South London Tutor English, Maths, ESOL
I have over seven years experience tutoring in the UK as well as various European countries. I have been working in London as an outreach tutor for the past three years - schools request my services to boost the grades of students from disadvantaged backgrounds and instil a sense of success and achievement in them. I think that it is important to have various techniques of teaching different subjects and making the lessons as interesting as possible. I can adapt my teaching methods to best suit the learning style and needs of individual students, offering a personalised learning programme so that they can get the most out of their one to one sessions with me. I teach children of all ability levels and ages, and provide them with support and encouragement to ensure a successful learning experience.

Learn foreign language, spanish, chinese and catalan
I have been living in Spain for more than 10 years, I am very confident in my Spanish and Catalan. Moreover, as I am Chinese so if you are interested in learning another completely different new language, I am very happy to help you. My goal is to help you with the language pronunciation, grammar and day to day necessary expression. After each class, I will provide feedback to help you to know where you need to improve and which are the things you are doing well. Depending on the age range, I will decide to have the class in a more attractiveness way (for children) or a more serious way ( for teenagers and adults). Thank you

French from beginner to advanced, all ages, written and oral!
French is a beautiful and useful language, whether you enjoy the literature and music, need to learn it for work or for school, for fun or for an exam. Whatever your goal is, we will talk about it together and I will customise the classes to your wishes and needs. I have worked with people of all ages and abilities, from toddlers to retirees, and I will make sure the lesson fits your criteria. I can help you prepare for university, take GCSE or A levels, get you ready for your holiday in France, help you with homework, boost your speaking and writing skills, prepare you for business meetings, get you closer to bilingualism... And more! I was born and raised in France and moved to England a few years ago for my degree in art history. I am in love with France, its culture and language, and I look forward to sharing it all with you!

Spanish & English Lessons with Erika in Belgium :)
Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children. We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture. My lessons take a casual twist—we might stroll around, grab a coffee or tea, and make learning an enjoyable experience. The best part for me is when students express gratitude for our time together. I believe language is more than just words, and I look forward to sharing my perspective with you. Can't wait to meet you and start this language journey together!
