MA in Applied Linguistics, TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) Certification
I initiated my teaching career in South America, assisting schools in enhancing their English curriculum. It was there that I realized the potential impact of English on bridging cultural gaps. My journey took me from schools to universities and then to private academies, focusing primarily on adult education. Over the past six years, I have also been hosting community-based English programs tailored for immigrant populations, ensuring they have the necessary language skills to integrate seamlessly.
My main goal is to make English easy to understand. To help younger students learn the basics of language, we use films and stories. When working with adults, real-life situations are very important, like how to do daily chores, prepare for job interviews, or understand local news. I give regular feedback and work closely with each student to make sure that each lesson is perfectly suited to their current wants and goals.
Many thanks:) There have been other English teachers, but Diego is by far the best. He is amazing and a great teacher. His accent is good, and his speech is clear, which is very important when you are learning. His lessons are fun and interesting, and they have a clear purpose and schedule. For me, this is turning out to be a lot of fun. Taking lessons with Diego is a good idea because of his efficiency, the way he teaches is very professional and interesting, and he is very qualified: he is a gentle and lovely teacher, so it's so fun and easy to have a lesson with him. You should definitely try Diego if you want to see results. It's the best option! I'm excited for our next lesson. Seeing you!!!
The classes are informative, but a bit more group interaction would be ideal.
BA in English, TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certification
I've spent 15 years teaching English, both in regular classrooms and one-on-one tutoring sessions. Most of my teaching time has been in middle and high schools, but I've also helped adults improve their language skills. Over the years, I've learned how to adapt my lessons to different ages and learning styles. I've worked with students who are just starting to learn English as well as those who are looking to perfect their speaking and writing. Through all this, I've made it my goal to make learning English clear, fun, and useful.
I believe in keeping things simple and effective. When I teach, I focus on the basics first. This means making sure students have a solid understanding of the foundations of English. We use everyday situations to practice speaking and writing. I also use common books, movies, and news to help students learn. I always keep an open conversation with my students, asking them what they find hard and what they want to learn more about. By keeping lessons practical and related to real life, I aim to make English something they can use and enjoy outside the classroom.
Ahmed made learning English fun. We used stories and films, I know, and it felt like I was just chatting with a friend, not sitting in a lesson.
Good teacher. I learned a lot. Wish we had more classes each week.
Ahmed is a great tutor. My son was struggling in school, but after a few months with Ahmed, his grades and confidence improved a lot.
Masters in Psychology
I specialize in psychology tutoring, assisting students in understanding theoretical concepts, research methodologies, and human behavior.
I tailor my teaching to individual learning styles, using discussions and interactive exercises to develop critical thinking skills.
M.Sc
I have over 5 years of experience delivering one-on-one GCSE Islamic Studies tutoring. Many of my students have achieved top grades through personalised support and a deeper engagement with the subject matter.
I use a calm, patient approach that balances exam preparation with faith-based learning. We break down key Islamic concepts, explore Quranic verses, and practise exam techniques together. I aim to make the subject both academically successful and spiritually enriching for each student.
Ph.D. in German Studies
I have extensive knowledge of German Studies and have been teaching for more than 15 years. I earned a Ph.D. in German Studies from the University of Heidelberg. I prioritize professionalism and focus on achieving results in my teaching style. Having good communication skills is crucial for becoming fluent in a language.
I strive to create a balanced teaching style for German that combines academic rigour with a deep appreciation for the culture. Learning a language should include more than just grammar and vocabulary. It should also involve a deep understanding of the cultural aspects intertwined with the language. I have a teaching style that is organized and adaptable, allowing for various learning speeds and preferences. Active participation, critical thinking, and independent exploration are encouraged in the German linguistic and cultural universe.
Dr. Williams' teaching methods are engaging and result-driven. Her feedback has been invaluable to my progress in German.
Amelia's classes are intellectually stimulating. I improved so much.
Doctor of Philosophy in History
Zohan here! I’m a passionate and highly experienced history tutor who has also worked as a Historical Consultant and Government Historian. I’ve experienced tutoring multiple levels of students studying different curricula, i.e., IGCSE, GCSE, IB, etc. I’ve also served as an undergraduate lecturer at different universities where I conducted sessions with a focus on world political history. Apart from that, I’ve also worked as a research writer for many years and conducted research on different topics, including the impact of the civil rights movement on the education system of Americans, the role of racial discrimination in junior European schools in building a biased society, etc. I can help students with different history courses and even with research topics.
My tutoring approaches are picked very carefully while keeping an eye on the needs of my students. I always try to add interesting activities to the sessions just to ensure that students are enjoying the entire learning process while grasping the necessary concepts. Students are provided with an excellent learning environment where they can engage with me and find solutions to their learning problems. I often use a constructivist approach in my sessions. Reason being, such approaches focus on building strong critical and logical thinking skills that further assist them in future learning. Positive feedback is also provided to the students.
Zohan is a wonderful history tutor. His sessions were engaging and I never felt bored learning the historical concepts with him.
With his help, I was able to score excellent marks in my final exams. Thank you, Zohan for being such a great tutor!
He is a very talented tutor! I would highly recommend him!
PhD in German Language and Literature
I am a native German speaker with a doctorate degree. I taught German in primary school for several years, which included working with individual, small and bigger groups of all ages. After this experience, I decided to pursue a career in teaching German at secondary and tertiary level.
I match my teaching approach according to the needs of each pupil. The key to success is to build each student’s interest and offer them confidence. Helping children with education is my goal. I work with interesting teaching techniques, and not only focusing on strict grammar rules. I also use the language in communication of activities.
Yuriy is a fantastic German tutor. He shows great energy in classes and is very organized. His lessons merge difficult grammar and vocabulary that support speaking and writing.
Yuriy has taught my son GCSE German. I think he’s an excellent and responsible teacher. Students get a lot of materials to refresh their knowledge after lessons.
I had Yuriy to teach me German for GCSE. All sessions with Yuriy were very good and he came with lots of resources. Yuriy helped me gain confidence in German via speaking and understanding grammar and vocabulary.
PhD in American History and Criticism
I have roughly 3,000 hours of experience in personalized tuition. The majority of this has been with A-level students, across the three major exam boards. I cover the content, teach essay-writing, and prepare pupils for exams. I have also taught the same subject in university courses. Plus, I have given guidance on research projects, coursework and masters dissertation.
All students have different requirements, so the structure of lessons varies. This is something that I discuss and agree upon by the end of the first session. My general approach is divided into three categories: essays, content, and exam preparation.
Great tutor. Knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready. I highly recommend it.
So pleased I found Isla through this website. She has mentored and is still teaching me in A level history course. I'm very happy with her lessons. She brings new ideas and information to boost my knowledge.
Excellent tutor, fully prepared for sessions, and assigns me work until the next session. I have no idea where to start for revision but with Isla's instructions, I can plan ahead.
Masters degree
I started tutoring at the university level in the US for many years. I am part of my university's Honor Language Society and hold a Bachelor's in Foreign Languages from the USA. As a language coach, I have worked with both children and adults.
I am very close to my students, and I bring a pleasant and playful learning approach to them. I am always jovial and motivate them to learn quickly through various techniques.
Master’s in Education with a Specialization in Urdu
Over the past 15 years, I have been teaching Urdu to students. I have a master's degree in Education from a prestigious institution in Pakistan. My experience in teaching and education has allowed me to experiment with various tutoring strategies. I have taught students of different age groups in public and private schools. Now, I have found my comfort zone in online teaching at MTS. Throughout the years, my students have excelled in national language exams and developed fluency in language.
I use different teaching materials like books, videos, and hands-on activities. I want to make a fun place to learn Urdu that helps you improve the language and teaches you about its culture and history. You will get a comprehensive understanding of the language. We will have practice sessions and test exercises every month.
Miss Samara is really good. She knows what you need and teaches you basic Urdu words before moving on to other topics. She gives examples to help you learn better. Thank you, I enjoyed the brief trial session! :)
In the first class, I learned that she is a very skilled teacher. The textbook has a lot of information, and it impressed me a lot. She allows me to practice using the new words I learned when speaking and helps me learn how to say them correctly. She is great!
Samara helped my daughter for her Urdu exams and essay writing skills. After only one month of practice, my daughter improved a lot.
