I have had the opportunity to work with learners from diverse cultural and educational backgrounds. My journey began with volunteer teaching in Sri Lanka and Indonesia, where I developed a strong appreciation for cross-cultural communication and the power of education to connect people. Afterward, I continued my teaching career in Vietnam, working in public schools and English language centers across Ho Chi Minh City, where I gained valuable experience teaching young learners in dynamic classroom environments. My teaching approach combines strong dedication with creativity and enthusiasm. I strive to create lessons that are not only effective but also engaging and enjoyable, using interactive activities, games, and visual materials to make language learning both meaningful and fun. I believe that when students feel supported, motivated, and excited about learning, they develop confidence and a genuine interest in improving their English skills.
Hi! I’m Emilija, a language teacher with over 10 years of experience helping adults feel more confident communicating in a new language. I teach English, Spanish, and Serbian, and I truly enjoy meeting students from different cultures and helping them reach their personal language goals. My lessons are relaxed, practical, and focused on real communication. I believe the best way to learn a language is by using it, so I encourage a lot of conversation while also building grammar and vocabulary naturally along the way. I always adapt my lessons to each student’s level, interests, and goals so learning feels motivating and enjoyable. Since I speak Spanish fluently, I understand many of the challenges Spanish speakers face when learning English, which helps me explain things clearly and make the process easier. If you're looking for supportive, engaging lessons where you can feel comfortable practicing and improving step by step, I’d be happy to work with you. 😊
I am a philologist of Italian language and literature and a native speaker of Serbian, with several years of teaching experience across different online language platforms. Over the years, I have taught Italian, Serbian, and English to learners of various levels and backgrounds, working with both complete beginners and more advanced students. This experience has helped me develop a clear, structured, and adaptable teaching approach. My lessons focus on real understanding of the language, combining grammar in context, pronunciation, and guided conversation. I aim to help students build strong foundations while gaining confidence to use the language naturally and comfortably. I teach Italian from beginner to advanced levels, and Serbian both from scratch and at a conversational level, always adapting lessons to each student’s goals and pace.
I am Mike, and I am here to help you learn English! I am an English Language graduate (Bachelor of Linguistics), with an experience of over 15 years of teaching students of all ages, profiles and levels! In my classes, you will get to learn about grammar, vocabulary, and I promise to help you improve your conversation! My greatest passion besides languages is music - where I can express my creativity and my outgoing character. I try to apply this in class, too! I believe each student is an individual who has their own learning pace, and I know that learning a language (like any other skill) needs dedication and time, but it is also about having fun and proper guidance. Happy to help you learn!
Hi! My name is Ilaria and I'm a certified, passionate language teacher with 10+ years of experience. I'm an official member of HYPIA (the Hyper-Polyglot Association) and I speak 8 languages (Sicilian, Italian, English, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian and Norwegian). I started working as a language instructor in 2016 for private students and corporates (such as Punch, L'Oréal, Pepsi, Colgate-Palmolive, Accenture, Netflix, Bayer, Pfizer and Topcon) and I've been helping 600+ people to reach their language goals for work or personal life. I specialize in Second Language Acquisition for Italian, English, Spanish, Russian and Polish. I can design the perfect language path for you based on your needs and desire. Languages are my super power and I look forward to meeting and working with you!
Hey, dear students! I'm an experienced language tutor, having been providing lessons in English, Italian and Montenegrin for several years now, both online and offline. My native language is Montenegrin (meaning I'm also proficient in Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian), I'm fluent in English (advanced/proficient) and hold an online TESOL/TEFL certificate, Italian (upper-intermediate), and know the basics of some other languages. I've also taught ESL/EFL on another online language learning platform. My students were different levels in English - from absolute beginners to advanced speakers. The ages of my students ranged from preschool and elementary school to college/university students, to working adults, as well as retired people, from all walks of life. I currently work as a freelance tutor and as a contractor on Scolingo. What I can offer is a relaxed, yet professional approach, to learning these languages. So, apart from learning, you can expect a friendly face too! :)
