TOEFL iBT or Essentials and Duolingo (DET) Preparation

From 42 C$ /h

We'll first review your target score, any practice or previous exams you've taken and when your application deadlines are to make a study plan. We'll review the sections of the exam that you want to work on together, as some students preparing for the TOEFL iBT only want tutoring on a specific section.

We isolate each task to discuss the best strategy for each, then practice it. When you're comfortable, then we'll move on to the next task. I can provide homework if you'd like and I can also provide additional materials if there's something that needs fixing, like a particular grammar topic.

Extra information

Have something to take notes if you're preparing for the TOEFL. We will also use Google Docs.

English for all levels from an experienced native English teacher

43 C$ /h

Our classes will be based on your goals and current level. I teach from the pre-intermediate level to advanced and prefer working with teens and adults. It's ok if you have short term goals, like interview preparation, resume writing or preparing for a trip. It's also ok if your goals are long term where we can make a structured plan to improve every area: speaking, writing, listening and reading.

How do you learn best? We can use a book, songs, TED Talks and a variety of other material.

American Football for Beginners and Intermediates: It's not just people running into each other

40 C$ /h

This class is designed for people who want to understand American Football. It's a common thought that "it's just people running into each other", but it's like chess (just more physical) and you will understand why. We will assess your beginning knowledge and where you want your final understanding to be. By the end of our classes, you will be able to understand the basic rules, the flow of a game, terminology and how it ends.

I also have a board game that we can play (I'll send you the files) that uses actual strategy. Once you get some basics, we can use this tool to put things into practice.

⭐️ ⭐️ What my Class is like ⭐️ ⭐️

• First class I will have a conversation about what YOU need to learn better. Every class is designed differently for different students.
• I take notes about our conversation: I make notes about your:
+Pronunciation
+Grammar 📝
+Fluency/ Speaking speed 🗣️
+Listening 👂
++ Confidence using English 😎
•I have a variety of books and materials FREE of charge available to my students.

Most of my classes run longer than 1 hour or 1.5 hours and I’m fine with teaching longer!

If you need to start from the beginning, improve your English for conversation, pass a visa interview for an English speaking country, improve or pass IELTS or TOEIC tests, or learn English for business or pleasure- I have over a decade of experience.

🌟” Why choose Mr. Rhett?”
I always loved learning languages! I’ve studied German, Latin, Spanish, and Vietnamese- I understand how HARD IT IS TO LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE! Yes, it’s hard! But I’ve been using a dynamic method to make learning FUN 🤩.

•I’ve been teaching English since volunteering in high school teaching immigrants English as a second language.
• Every student has a different way of learning and different needs and I’ve mastered how to identify a student’s needs.
• I use don’t just use a book and say “repeat!”like in school that makes even the best student get bored 🥱.
• Depending on how a student learns: I use videos and audio of real world English speaking situations.
• I’ve taught in Vietnam 🇻🇳 for 10 years in English centers, international schools, visa interview preparation, and TOEIC/IELTS prep classes. This has showed me the importance of learning how each student learn is different. And this experience has made me a very dynamic tutor with very satisfied students! 🧑🏻‍🎓 👨🏻‍🎓 👩🏻‍🎓

I realized the best way to teach is so my students feel relaxed and comfortable so it doesn’t feel like a class.

As an American, I have a very clear accent. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations with a minor in teaching from Pennsylvania State University as well as a TESOL (international teaching certificate) from Oxford. I have Vietnamese residency.

I spend a lot of time using different materials (mock tests, pronunciation correction plans, as well as quizzes to track progress). I want my students do well but have fun while doing so! 😃

If a student ever wants to do something differently than it’s changed immediately.
Learning is a journey and I will be your guide to reach your destination.

What I teach includes General English, covering all four skills: listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Students also improve vocabulary and grammar based on their interests, and learn with videos, podcasts, and other multimedia materials. Classes include exam preparation as well. For English Communication, I focus on public speaking and presentations, improving vocabulary and fluency in topics students enjoy, accent reduction, and clearer pronunciation. Students practice listening, pronunciation, and the North American accent, with attention to common mistakes like homophones, intonation, and stress in speaking.

Hi everyone! My name is Lika. I’m an English teacher from Ukraine who’s so passionate about traveling that I can’t stay in one place for longer than a couple of years.

I hold two Bachelor’s degrees — in English Studies and Philosophy — as well as a CELTA certificate.

I speak Russian, Slovak, German, and a little Chinese. So if you ever have trouble understanding something, I’ll be happy to explain it in one of these languages.

I specialize in exam preparation and general speaking fluency.This means that during my lessons, you will be doing most of the talking. After all, that’s the main reason we learn languages, right?

I’ve taught in language schools all around the world, including China, Canada, and several European countries. By the way, I’ve even taught English to a real Shaolin monk!

My teaching philosophy centres on creating a supportive, anxiety-free ‘safe space’ where students feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of making mistakes, as negative emotions can hinder language learning; I therefore respect students’ comfort levels, prioritise practical oral communication through a balanced mix of approximately 40% speaking, 40% vocabulary and 20% grammar, and avoid excessive corrections that disrupt fluency and confidence. From the beginning, I work collaboratively with students to establish clear goals and regularly monitor their progress, encouraging self-reflection and ownership of their development, while enriching lessons with idiomatic expressions and interesting facts about the English language and English-speaking cultures to make learning engaging and authentic.

I am a passionate English instructor, high school graduate from Forward International Academy (FIA), and lifelong learner with a strong interest in education, communication, and personal development. With a strong English-language background and experience teaching English and leadership skills to students, I enjoy helping learners build confidence, improve their communication skills, and achieve their academic goals.

I am currently preparing for the TOEFL exam to further strengthen my academic English and deepen my understanding of English proficiency requirements. My teaching approach is supportive, interactive, and student-centered, focusing on practical communication, vocabulary development, grammar, and speaking confidence.

Beyond teaching, I have experience in volunteering, mentoring Afghan girls, web development, and online learning. I believe every student has the potential to succeed with the right guidance, encouragement, and consistent practice. My goal is to make learning English engaging, effective, and accessible to everyone.
