Hello, I completed my TEFL before starting my teaching career in Korea. I then moved on to teach in mainland China... I have primarily served as a mathematics teacher and an English listening/speaking teacher. I was usually in the position where I would be the only or one of few American teachers and was needed for my neutral accent. I have taught TOEFL to rest prep, speech class, English listening and speaking, English reading and writing, and presentation skills. My students have been all ages. If asked about my teaching style then the best way I can answer is that I do my best to adapt to my students by making changes in my word choice or speaking speed. If you want to improve your English for daily conversation, maybe for a job, or perhaps for a test, then I would be more than glad to help you.

I first qualified as an elementary school teacher in South Africa in 1986. I then taught children from ages 8 to 13 for 10 years in a local elementary school. Even then my interest was language teaching responsible for teaching Zulu and English and Afrikaans for the aforementioned grades. On arriving in Taiwan I taught a variety of ages of students from kindergarten all the way up to men of 55. At the local international school I was responsible for the English tuition of grades 4 to 8. I can provide references on demand from Hsinchu international School. So far, I have lived in Taiwan for 21 years, teaching as mentioned at some local schools and tutoring full time for about 15 years. I hold a masters degree in TEFOL. I can tutor a combination of face to face and online. I have more than sufficient content, background experience and qualifications to do this work. It is work I choose to do because I enjoy it.

Hello Learners! Thank you for considering me. :) I'm a Canadian native who has spent the last 10 years tutoring in China and Hong Kong. I have developed unique methods specifically tailored for Mandarin and Cantonese speakers to learn clear and proper English pronunciation. ESL educators often allow even their advanced students to use Chinese language sounds to approximate English sounds. Many of these educators don't even realize this is happening. This is the main reason why asian ESL speakers' English is accented, often very strongly. So, it is important for an ESL student to learn English from a native English speaker. To learn English from someone who themselves is an ESL speaker will likely result in 'accent stacking' for the student, making their English unclear and difficult to understand. Among other things, I focus on training my intermediate and advanced students to produce real English sounds by coaching them in awareness of the positioning and movement of their tongue, lips and jaw. In this way, their mouths develop the 'muscle memory' required to produce natural English sounds, resulting in an accent-free, native English pronunciation. I have been using this method with great success-- both in person and by video call-- for years now in Hong Kong. I am now offering English training to the wonderful people of Taiwan online by video call. I also tutor basic English to students age 10 and older.. Discounts are available when purchasing blocks of 10 hours, referring other students to me, and per-person discounts for up to three people in a class. I encourage you to give online video call tutoring a try. It is actually quite effective. Give it a try!

Hi, I am a native English teacher from England. I have approximately 5 years of teaching experience. I was a Lawyer in England and I have a degree in Law from the University of Reading. I am very passionate about teaching English. I find that the methods used in 99.99% of the English centers in East Asia are completely wrong. Because you have non-native English speakers, who do not fully understand the language, trying to design teaching methods/curriculums in English. And they seem to be more interested in making money than helping people to improve their English. Therefore, I want to teach privately, so I can teach English; the right way. Please note, my lessons will not be fun and very monotonous. But I find that, that is the best way to learn. Also, please note, no matter how many hours you book with me your English will not improve. It all depends on how much effort you put in, in your own time. I am merely here to guide you and make sure you are running in the direction. And to give you a chance to practise the English that you learn in your own time. Each week I will set tasks for you to complete in your own time. And we will do a short review of that material. Depending on your level. I do not recommend booking more than 2 hours a week with me. Otherwise, you will be wasting your money. Please note the following: No commitment. Pay as you go lessons. Weekend only classes. Paypal is accepted. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Friends. My name is Bradley. I come from South Africa and I have been living in Taipei for four years. I have nearly 40 years work experience and I have been involved in teaching different things in that time. I have been teaching adult, young learners and online English in Taipei for two years with Global Village Organisation and one and a half years with LiveABC (online classes - young leaners and adults - including business English). I have experience in guiding students for IELTS, TOEIC AND GEPT. I enjoy conversational English and especially to talk about current events and events that have shaped the world, etc. I have a degree in Theology (BTh) and have spent over 15 years ministering in various churches in South Africa. I love teaching, just as I love learning. I am interested in reading about Theology and Philosophy, taking and editing photographs, and playing and teaching the guitar. So, I want to encourage all students to see learning as an adventure to make progress, to go forward and reach your goal or goals. As I have worked in the church for many years, I believe that the best way that people learn is to have someone who is kind, gentle, who respects others and is interested in the progress and future success of people, to teach them. I invite you to come and join me so that you can be the best you, you can be. and yes, attain success through your hard work. Let's get the classes started!

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.

"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 learn English?
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!

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.
Speaking English has many advantages:
