IN-PERSON AND ONLINE LESSON - LIMITED SPACES LEFT Hi :) It’s lovely to meet you! My name is Lauren, and I’m a native English teacher from Ireland. I’ve been teaching English in Athens, Greece for the past two years, both online and in person, and my students range from young learners to adults (ages 4–64). My lessons are fully tailored to each student’s goals. I focus on helping learners communicate naturally and confidently while strengthening grammar, reading, and writing through practical and creative exercises. I also place strong emphasis on pronunciation and fluency, using real-life topics and stories that make learning both effective and enjoyable. As a writer myself, I love integrating elements of creative writing and storytelling into my lessons, which helps students expand their vocabulary, think in English, and develop their own unique voice. Before moving to Greece, I worked as an au pair in Spain and Italy, where I helped children and teenagers develop their English through fun, structured, and interactive lessons. I hold top grades in English Language and Literature (A* GCSE, A-Level A), a MA in International Relations and Politics from a Scottish university, and an LL.M. in International Law from the University of Athens. I also plan to complete my CELTA soon. In addition to general English, I also offer lessons tailored to academic and professional subjects such as politics, law, and international relations, perfect for students who want to improve their English while advancing in these fields. Teaching is something I’m truly passionate about. I believe every student learns best when lessons feel personal, engaging, and encouraging. I offer both online and in-person classes, and I’m happy to travel within Athens for home lessons. Please feel free to get in contact if you’d like to start lessons or discuss your learning goals.

** ONLINE ONLY ** Hello, my name is Simon, I was born in New Zealand but spent half of my life in England. I speak with a mixture of British English and New Zealand English accents, but most people think I'm from the UK. I have been an English teacher since 2005, studying at St Giles College in Brighton, receiving the Cambridge CELTA certificate in Teaching English. I have taught English in a number of different countries and have spent the last three years teaching English online. I specialise in helping my students prepare for exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, MSU, and other international proficiency-level exams. I like to help my student become more confident with their speaking skills and improve their writing skills to get the best results in their exams. I like to make learning fun, so we can work on improving our written and spoken answers together. Please note, I am only offering lessons online, but we can work out which platform suits us best :)

I offer private lessons and teach English to students in the wider Athens area. I have worked in two English Language centers in London for 10 years successfully improving English language skills and fluency to students and professionals from many different countries who decide to come and study or work in the UK. A few years ago I returned to Athens and I continue to employ the same teaching methods used in London in order for students to markedly improve their English language fluency. During my time here in Greece I have also offered English lessons to young students who start English in primary school and need a better foundation which will make it much easier for them to learn and use English as a foreign language correctly in the future.

Warm greetings to you all! I’m Nathan, an English teacher based in Athens, Greece. I’m bilingual (native command of both standard British English and modern Greek), and I have taught English as a second or foreign language to students of many different nationalities for over thirty-five (35) years. I teach students of any level and in any age group. However, I specialise in English Exam Preparation courses, and I also have substantial experience in Business English tuition. I was trained in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) at the British Council in Athens and at the University of Exeter in the UK. I am well versed in planning, organising and implementing various EFL and/or training courses, always considering a student’s specific needs and goals as well as their own learning style and special interests. Here’s a rundown of what I offer: Expert tuition for English language qualifications, including the Cambridge Suite (A2 Key, B1 Preliminary, B2 First, C1 Advanced, C2 Proficiency) as well as Michigan University ECCE and ECPE. I boast a high success rate in exam-prep courses (e.g. B2 > 95%, C2 > 85%) IELTS preparation – short courses that guarantee a score higher than 6.5 Development of your Business English language skills: short courses for senior and junior management officers and working professionals e.g. e-mail & telephone English, English for presentations and/or meetings, tourism & the hospitality industry, and conversational English in Business contexts. I also offer core courses leading to Business Language qualifications: the prestigious Cambridge BEC, levels B2 and C1, for those of you based in China, or the Cambridge Linguaskill Business for those of you living in any other part of the world. English immersion courses for young children and teens (aged 6+), with a sole focus on fluency, pronunciation, seamless communication, and cultural exposure, leading to an ESL (English as a Second Language) status at an early age. All done in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate way! ESP (English for Specific Purposes) courses. Adopting a CBI (Content-Based Instruction) approach, I use authentic materials and tasks that are relevant to a particular learner’s life and their special interest(s). This is integrated learning, with language and content being taught together, reinforcing each other. For example, you can learn about fashion while also learning the vocabulary and sentence structures used to describe it. This way, you will enhance your language learning experience in a meaningful and personally and / or professionally rewarding way! Just let me know what your area of special interest(s) is (are). Here's a bit more about me: • As a teacher, I am characterised by professionalism, responsibility, thorough preparation, and empathy – I talk to the learner, and I actively listen to them. My strong communication skills invariably build teacher – learner rapport and create a trusting environment for both. Most learners (well, each and every one of them…) appreciate my sense of humour, and they love the convivial atmosphere I create in the virtual classroom, albeit in a well-structured learning environment. I only offer online classes, with expert tuition on Zoom, which means I can teach you English no matter where you live! I use an excellent LM platform to facilitate your learning and day-to-day accomplishment of tasks. • As a person, I take a particular interest in the visual and the performing arts. I am also a globetrotter, an avid reader, and an aspiring cook. Looking forward to meeting you online. We can then discuss your needs as an English learner, and I will tailor the course of study which will lead you to the achievement of your goals. Best regards, Nathan

I love teaching English because it's the international language of the world. Strong English language skills can enhance one's career, university studies, and their everyday life. It can open doors to new opportunities and help people to achieve greater success in life. I like to work with students individually to get to know their experience level, learning style, interests, strengths, and areas that need improvement. After evaluating all of this, I create individualized lesson plans that allow the student to hone their English speaking abilities, and get them speaking, understanding, and communicating in English with more confidence than ever. I am looking forward to meeting you and starting this journey of learning together!

Interactive lessons to improve the understanding, pronunciation, and writing skills of the participants. Proactivity is key from both the learner and the facilitator. I have studied Spanish and English as a foreign language for over three years. And I still actively do. It is best to proceed with private lessons, or two to three learners per class if needed. The smaller the group, the more we focus on each subject. Lessons should last an hour max. It is preferred to do onsite classes, but we adjust to each learner's conditions and availability.

TUTOROO is a website that connects you with private, in-person language tutors. We now work with 350,000 tutors in more than 160 cities. We match genuine native speakers with people who want to enhance their conversational skills in any language at their preferred place and time.
The most difficult part in learning a foreign language is the practice, which can be acquired only by conversing with a native speaker. For people willing to practice foreign languages, it is difficult to find a private language tutor who lives or works in their city. TUTOROO has been designed to provide a frictionless experience while connecting tutors to students, for private in-person language lessons.
"I've studied with a native tutor for two months because I'm traveling this week. These classes helped me a lot! I loved TUTOROO and am already recommending it to my friends."
- Mark Bariche
"I found the perfect tutor for me, I became able to speak in another language and enjoyed meeting new people from other cultures. I've improved my language skills, without traveling abroad. Thanks TUTOROO!"

"Speaking in another language is no longer difficult with the help of a teacher. Getting corrections for your mistakes helps you continue to improve in each lesson."

TUTOROO works with a community of over 4,500 private English teachers in more than 150 cities. Our English tutors help their students improve their English skills by providing them with personalised online and in-person lessons. The internet is full of helpful resources for non-native English speakers to learn English, with materials for all levels in order to improve one's vocabulary or English grammar. So why would you need to hire a private English teacher to learnEnglish?
First, private English tutors are able to meet specific English learning needs that static online resources may not always provide. With one-on-one English lessons , you can easily progress towards English language fluency. Students can choose to focus their lessons on grammar exercises, vocabulary, pronunciation, writing, reading comprehension, speaking practice, and more.
Below are some of the benefits of learning English with an English teacher with TUTOROO:
One-on-one English tuition with a private English teacher allows you to have the undivided attention you deserve. Private English classes are customised to your learning goals and your rhythm. Perhaps you are interested specifically in business English, conversational English, or private lessons for your kids - an English tutor can customise your English lessons to meet your needs and help you improve your skills thanks to real-world lessons from a native speaker.
When you learn English with a TUTOROO tutor, you get direct answers to all of your questions, this helps you improve your language skills faster in areas you struggle with, from pronunciation and vocabulary to other grammar issues. A private English teacher can immediately identify your mistakes and correct your inaccuracies. You get to ask direct questions when things aren't clear and obtain immediate answers from them.
For example, for non-native English speakers, the English language can sometimes be contradictory. For example, the 'ch' in 'chair' is pronounced differently from the 'ch' in 'chiffon'. The 'th' in 'thumb' is pronounced differently from the 'th' in 'that'. A private English teacher can help you avoid these common pitfalls to achieve English language success and gain strong English communication skills.
In a nutshell, learning English with a TUTOROO tutor is much more fun and interesting than just watching online videos or learning online through tutorials. You may now improve your English skills with our online and in-person private tutors. We actually help students from around the world improve their English skills.
Get started today and start improving your English language skills with a private English teacher now!

Unusual scheduling needs? Preparing for an English proficiency test? Need intensive English classes? No problem, you can work with your TUTOROO English teacher to find a timing and frequency that suits you for your English tuition.

English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, it is also used as a second language by millions of people around the globe. English has been used as an international language since the 17th century.
The English Language is recognised as the official language in about 67 different countries. Additionally, more than 27 non-sovereign entities regularly use English as an administrative or conversational language. It is the official language of many world institutions like NATO, the European Union and the United Nations. Close to a third of the world's population (some 2 billion people) now use English, giving it the position of a global lingua franca.
With TUTOROO you may now learn English with a private English teacher in the following locations:
The English Language is regarded as one of the most difficult languages to learn for non-native English speakers. Its grammatical rules are often broken, spelling and pronunciation irregularities can even confuse native speakers. With the help of a private English teacher, you can overcome the difficulties of the English language and achieve full English language fluency. Improve your English skills now with an English tutor.
As a non-native English speaker, many higher education schools or universities where English is the standard language of teaching will require you to take an English proficiency test. This test is proof of your English language ability and ensures you have the necessary oral, aural and writing skills to complete your course. Don't let a language barrier stop you from achieving your dreams. Hire a private English language teacher to help you prepare for your English proficiency test.
The two most common tests are the TOEFL or IELTS:
TOEFL (The Test of English as a Foreign Language) is the most common English proficiency test. There are two formats for writing TOEFL and you can choose your preferred format: an internet-based test or a paper-delivered test. The sections in the test include listening comprehension, written expression, reading comprehension and speaking. The test takes about 3 hours to complete and the result is valid for two years. Most universities require that you score between 90 to 100 (B2). However, some universities may require that you attain a minimum score in each section while meeting the B2 proficiency requirement.
IELTS (The International English Language Testing System) is another widely recognised English proficiency test. The test has two versions which are the academic version and the general training version. Most employers and universities worldwide accept the academic version, while the general training version is accepted by government institutions and used for immigration.
The first 3 sections of the IELTS - listening, reading and writing - lasts 2 hours 40 mins. The last component is a speaking test done in the presence of an examiner. IELTS scores range between 1 and 9 with universities requiring a minimum of 6 or 7. The minimum score is equivalent to C1 and B2 proficiency levels. You can get your IELTS results 13 days after the test and the result is valid for two years.
Although not as common as IELTS or TOEFL, CAE (Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English) and CPE (Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English) are often an admission requirement for UK universities. Usually, only people at an advanced English level can take CAE and CPE. They are in-depth, high-level qualifications that demonstrate an English proficiency level of C1 - 7 to 8 in IELTS or 110 to 120 in TOEFL. You can take CAE and CPE either on your computer or in person. Like the other tests, the CAE and CPE tests reading, writing, listening and speaking. The speaking section of the test will be done with another candidate to test fluency in face-to-face situations. Unlike TOEFL and IELTS, CAE and CPE certificates don't expire. The highest grade is an A and the lowest score in CAE and CPE is C, with most universities requiring a minimum of B for admission.
TUTOROO works with many English tutors who are available and specialised in training for some of these tests. By browsing our English private tutor profiles, you will be able to find tutors who specialise in test preparation for English proficiency tests. You are also able to contact the tutor directly with any queries and choose the private English tutor that best fits your needs.
TUTOROO only hires tutors that get the work done. By this, we mean that learners and students pass their English proficiency test after being coached by a TUTOROO private tutor.
This must be our most popular question! With the help of a teacher and with private English lessons, learning English is much easier, quicker and more enjoyable. Of course, being motivated and focused comes in handy when learning a new language. With both online or face-to-face lessons and if you have the motivation to study a couple of hours every day, a private English teacher will help you become fluent in English in as little as 6 months!
Be patient, fluency in English is not something anyone acquires overnight. The process takes time and requires enthusiasm, that's why hiring a private tutor that can customise your English lessons to your interests and needs is important. Furthermore, face-to-face and online English lessons give you an opportunity to converse and practise your newly acquired English language skills.
Being motivated and focused comes in handy when you're learning a new language. If you have enough time to study English with a private tutor, you can become fluent in just around six months as long as you study it a couple hours a day.
In addition to studying with a TUTOROO tutor, you may want to try to get fully immersed as well once you start speaking English fluently. Being around native English speakers allows you to practise language skills you've learnt. You can also read English books, watch English speaking movies and listen to the news in English.
Interestingly, the English language isn't the most spoken one in the world, although there are over 400 million native English speakers around the planet. English is the third most spoken language - right behind Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.
