Hi there, I’ve studied in UK & I’m an English kindergarten teacher in Hong Kong now for the past 3.5 years. I also tutor students in an education centre for conversational classes, spellings class & train those that are taking part in English speech festival. My recent student got 1st this month in the speech competition, & another got 2nd place. My qualifications include a PGCE in education, TEFL level 3 diploma, a business English diploma, & GCSEs in 4 subjects including English. I like to educate kids through different materials, each time. I use worksheets, q&a sessions, storybooks as well as fun games. This is to ensure the student is not only learning, but also enjoying English overall. Through this way, it will allow them to memorise the topics quicker, by interactive methods. I even provide a reward sheet where they will receive a small gift if they complete all stamps on paper, by being attentive in lesson. This is to motivate them to do better each time. If you are interested, please let me know what classes you’d like me to assist in, how old your child is & provide the location. I am usually available on weekdays, in the afternoon. About communication with parents, I am able to speak conversational Cantonese as well.

Hello, learners! I am a native Canadian English speaker living in Yuen Long, and I'm able to help you in all aspects of learning and perfecting English. The Central Canadian English dialect I teach is very neutral and easily understood by all English speakers around the world. I have lived in Hong Kong for 13 years and as a result, I can speak some Cantonese and a little Mandarin. This gives me an advantage over most English tutors as I clearly understand the difficulties a native Chinese speaker encounters when trying to pronounce English words understandably. Using Chinese words and sounds as a basis to develop correct pronunciation and other unique tutoring techniques I've developed over the years, I can effectively teach you to speak English understandably and naturally. I am a former engineer, and I approach English tutoring in a different way than most formally trained English teachers. I analyze my students' capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses, and use a problem-solving and troubleshooting approach to "design" the best method to suit each student's individual learning needs. I have found this to be very effective, as I use creativity to overcome students' unique difficulties, rather than a blunt, one-size-fits-all "This Is How You Teach" approach utilized by most educators. Don't be handicapped or embarrassed by limited vocabulary or "Chinglish" anymore! Reading, comprehension, grammar, vocabulary... whatever you need, I’ve got you covered. I also perform document editing and offer project assistance for businesses and students. Group rates and 10-hour block discounts are available. Please inquire for details. I look forward to working with you soon. Thank you!

My name is Adam and I am a native English teacher from London with over four years teaching experience in the Hong Kong local school system. Whether it is conversational English for adult learners, exposure to an English environment for young learners or exam focused lessons for students, I can design and deliver tailor made lessons, with a focus on using student interests and lots of opportunity to practice. I use the trial lessons to gain a better understanding of what the student (and parents) want from the lessons, which allows me to design productive future lessons. I have worked in both primary and secondary schools, following local and international curricula, helping students achieve great results in territory wide examinations such as TSA and DSE, as well as speech and debate competitions. I have also helped students get into band 1 secondary schools and achieve good results in Cambridge examinations. I am CertTESOL and PGCE qualified, and have been a private tutor since I was in secondary school. I hope I can pass on my knowledge to my future tutees and bring out their confidence in learning English. I am very flexible with times and locations, and can teach online lessons too.

Hi this is Cassie and I'm an English literacy specialist with solid teaching experience. Since 2015 I have been teaching learners ages from 3 years old to young adults. What I learned is that sometimes they just need a wee bit of extra help and motivation. With the aid of visuals, flashcards and such, I can help learners to enrich their English learning experience steadily with significant improvement. Aside from that, it puts a big smile on my face when my students speak and write with confidence upon the guidance given. Hope you'll enjoy my class! See you later alligator!

Learn English online or offline with the best private English tutors. Private English lessons will be held by TUTOROO tutors directly and custom-made for your private learning needs. Learn English effectively with the help of a native speaking English tutor. Have fun learning a new language!
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!"
Leila Zhing
"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."
Andrew Guney
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!
Everyone learns a new language at a different pace and some even start learning from scratch and have no previous knowledge of the new language they wish to learn. One may be great at English grammar but be struggling over pronunciation, or at the contrary excel in conversational English but struggle with reading and writing. In a group class, the tutor will move on if the majority of the class understands. With one-on-one private English courses, your English teacher works at the pace you are comfortable with, and can also adapt their teaching methods for you.
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. With a private tutor, you can take classes according to your schedule. Improve your English skills by learning from native speakers. This way, you're 100% flexible.
When you learn English with a teacher, you get flexibility, customised lessons and you get to meet a bright and interesting person: your new private tutor!
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.
