Looking for private English lessons

Post by BarbaraShu » Sun Feb 03, 2013 10:23 pm

Hi everyone!
I'm looking for English tutor for myself in Helsinki. Now I'm preparing for CAE exam and going to pass it in March. So it's the main goal. If you have this teaching experience, it would be great.
If you are not a teacher, but you have friends and colleagues, who are, I'll be very thanckful if you tell them about me.

If you are in Helsinki then why don't you sign up for a CAE preparation course? You can do them at http://www.finnbrit.fi/courses/cam_cae.html and also at the Työväenopisto and also the Adult Education Centres like Helsingin Aikuisopisto. These places use the proper exam preparation materials and you would be taught by someone who has Cambridge examination experience.

I'm sure you will get plenty of offers from "native English speakers" but if you are aiming for a good grade in your CAE I think it is worth finding a teacher who has experience of Cambridge exams so they can help you improve your exam technique as well as give you support in improving your proficiency in the language.

Rosamunda,thank you for advice!
Actually I'm studying at language courses at Työväenopisto. But it's only one time a week. On my opinion it's not enough )
So dear tutors, you are welcome!

Hello Barbara,

I am a native English speaker from the US. I have taught and tutored English intermittently since 2007. My experience is primarily with conversational English, but I have also taught several courses in grammar. I also have experience with test prep for the TOEFL and SAT. Although these are very different tests than the CAE, I can offer test taking strategies. I am familiar with the CAE and and a quick google search has provided sample tests that I can look over to find ways that I could best help you out!

If you are interested in meeting up to discuss what exactly you are looking for in terms of CAE tutoring and how I could possibly help you please contact me and we can set something up and see how it works out! My email is g.goletti@gmail.com

All the best,
Giulia
