Build confidence in English with structured and interactive learning
Teaching has been a significant part of my journey. I've had the privilege of instructing students in a wide range of subjects, from English and Math to General Sciences, spanning all the way from first grade to university level. What I love most about teaching is helping students discover their academic goals through challenging word problems and rigorous practice. I firmly believe that making small mistakes while solving these problems is a crucial aspect of the learning process. It's through these errors that we truly grow, not only by learning from our mistakes but also by developing the perseverance to find the right solutions. Beyond academics, I've also been involved in community service. I had the opportunity to work with a non-profit organization in India called HelpAge India, where I contributed to assisting disadvantaged senior citizens. My work involved fostering their involvement in the community, collaborating with nearby schools, and promoting digital awareness and education for seniors who wanted to stay connected with their friends and family. It was a fulfilling experience to make a positive impact on the lives of these individuals. Aside from academics and community work, sports have always been a significant part of my life. In my upper years of high school, I was a competitive swimmer, and I still enjoy swimming today. I also love playing badminton, table tennis, and exploring new sports and activities. It's essential for me to continuously hone my skills and embrace new environments, as I firmly believe that education is not just about acquiring facts; it's about training the mind to think critically and adapt to new challenges. In conclusion, I'm an engineering student, a dedicated tutor, a lifelong learner, and someone who is deeply committed to helping others in their educational journeys. I believe in the power of perseverance, learning from mistakes, and the importance of a well-rounded approach to education. As I continue my academic and personal pursuits, I hope to inspire and empower others to do the same.

Creative English lessons with collaborative insights
I am a British ESL teacher, currently working as a private tutor in Montreal, Canada. I love languages and I enjoy discovering new cultures and ideas, so working with students from around the world to improve their language skills is the perfect job for me! As well as being a native English speaker, I am also proficient in Italian and French, which I like to think helps me to bring a multicultural perspective to language education. It also means I know what it's like to be a language learner and I always have this in mind when working with my own students. For most of my professional career I have worked in universities in the UK, which required excellent language skills as well as strong time management, organisation and professionalism. I intend to bring these skills to my role as an ESL tutor, alongside a healthy dose of creativity and fun!

Engaging English lessons with hands-on learning
Hello! I'm so glad you're here. My name is Luciano, and I'm passionate about teaching languages. Born in Argentina, I moved to Spain when I was just 2 years old, so I grew up immersed in a beautiful blend of cultures. My love for traveling and learning new languages took me to France and Switzerland at 18, where I learned French and soaked up even more diverse experiences. In 2020, I made another big move to London. I wanted to improve my English skills and keep learning about different people and cultures, in London I started my professional journey in the hotel industry while I continued my studies at the University of Westminster, studying international business. Balancing my studies and job I also worked as a freelance Spanish and English tutor which has been incredibly rewarding. As a tutor, I work with students of all ages and from various countries. I love the diversity of my job—one day, I'm teaching playful Spanish songs to young kids, and the next, I'm helping a business professional master their English skills. Every student brings a new perspective, and I enjoy tailoring my lessons to meet their individual needs. Teaching isn't just a job for me; it's a passion. There's nothing more fulfilling than seeing my students progress and gain confidence in their language abilities. Plus, the cultural exchange is amazing—I learn just as much from my students as they do from me. I'm friendly, patient, and always eager to help. Whether you're just starting out or looking to perfect your skills, I'm here to support you on your language learning journey. Let's learn and grow together!

My name is Ruth, I am from the UK and I have completed an arts degree within Filmmaking and Language studies (Minored in Portuguese). My degree consisted of a combined material which engaged with the critical, historical, theoretical and practical approaches to the study of film and television whilst participating in a range of creative work at the University of Bristol. I enjoyed my time at university as I was able to balance my arts degree with my love for learning a new language. During my time at college, I studied A level Spanish as well as growing up in a multilingual household with Spanish and English as the main languages as I have Ecuadorian and English heritage. My interest in languages has motivated me to travel, meet new people and find creative ways of teaching myself to find the best methods to learn. I am eager to meet new people from different cultures and learn more, most recently I lived in Rio de Janeiro for a few months to immerse myself in the culture and language. It was an amazing experience. Combining my love for the arts is something I long to incorporate into my teaching style! Whether that be through music, studying pop culture or simply recommending shows to watch! I love to do this, as well as finding the best ways to tailor my lessons for my students.

Your guide to learning English in Houston
Learning English in Houston: Key challenges & solutions
Houston follows the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) curriculum for English. This emphasizes English skills through structured reading, writing, and speaking lessons.
About 47.2% of Houston residents aged 5 and older speak a language other than English at home in Houston. This highlights the strong demand for English learning resources in the city. However, learners often struggle with grammar rules, expanding vocabulary, and achieving clear pronunciation. Many also find it difficult to engage in conversations. This leads to under-confidence in real-world interactions.
Key challenges include adapting to different accents, expensive courses, and difficulty in real-life practice. Preparing for standardized English tests like the TOEFL, IELTS, and STAAR English exams can be challenging. Many students struggle with essay coherence and reading lengthy passages under time constraints.
There are local resources like Houston Public Library and Literacy Advance of Houston. Houston ESL & Citizenship classes offer free programs for English learners. Community events, such as Houston Language Partners, provide immersive practice opportunities. Private English tutoring ensures customized learning plans and real-time feedback. Practical exercises also help learners gain fluency.
