InterestsHistoryEnvironment & NatureTravelMusic
My name is Niis, I grew up in the United Kingdom but I have been travelling my whole life. I am currently based in the UK but I have also lived in Germany for five years and I speak four languages. English, Somali, German and Portuguese.
I love learning languages, I have a lot of friends whose mother tongues are different to mine and I just love this moment when we speak in their mother tongue and I get to know my friend in a completely different way. As Nelson Mandela said “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I would say I am quite relaxed but stern. I want you to reach your potential, goals and dreams! I would make a tailor-made plan for each of my students and in our lessons we would try to ONLY speak English. I find that this kind of immersion-style is honestly the best for learning English. We would talk, I would listen to you and we would navigate the lesson totally according to your interests in the English Language.
My lessons & teaching style
In our lessons, it would, of course, mainly be based on conversation and I could teach you a lot of British Slang and I would help you in a more practical way. How to use the English language the way native speakers do. I wouldn't make the lessons unnecessarily hard but I would push you to your best! To reach your potential and maybe even try to teach you how we Brits speak in this accent if that is your dream haha!

I have been taking private English lessons with Niis and I couldn't be more pleased with my progress. She is incredibly dedicated and attentive, always bringing new ideas and methods to improve my English skills. Her approach is personalized, and she really takes the time to understand my strengths and areas for improvement. Her passion for teaching is evident in every lesson, making learning both effective and enjoyable. I highly recommend Niis to anyone looking to enhance their English proficiency!

Lezione di prova estremamente produttiva. Insegnante molto preparata e sagace, è riuscita a comprendere immediatamente il mio livello di inglese e le mie necessità e ha proposto rapidamente un piano per la lezione corrente ed il futuro.
La raccomando fortemente!
