About Me

Hi there,

My name is Lisa, I’m 26 years old and from Luxembourg.

I hold an LLB and an LLM from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and I am currently working as a legal trainee in Luxembourg. Alongside my law studies, I also studied English Literature and Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam.

I am happy to teach beginners to intermediate learners. From my own experience of learning languages abroad , especially during my time in the Netherlands, where I was often afraid to speak Dutch and people would quickly switch to English, I know how important it is to create a comfortable and encouraging learning environment. I strongly believe that the key to learning a language is speaking without fear and feeling free to make mistakes.

While grammatical accuracy is important, I believe it should come after developing confidence in communication. Language is first and foremost about connecting with people, and once communication feels natural, accuracy can be refined step by step. My goal as a tutor is to help students gain confidence, enjoy the learning process, and feel comfortable expressing themselves.

I am looking forward to meeting you!

Best,

Lisa

I can make a course specifically tailored for you, according to your knowledge, needs, interests, and requests. In more than 20 years of teaching, I've never given the same course twice. I can compile and produce custom-made study material for you. Since I'm passionate about Spanish, I've studied its different varieties around the world, so I can guarantee that with my classes, you'll be able to have a proper conversation in any Spanish-speaking country.

As a Ukrainian teacher for foreigners with varying language proficiency levels, I hold a unique and pivotal role in the realm of education.
I am in touch with my students almost all the time. We are not only practicing grammar and vocabulary, but we are also experiencing a love of Ukrainian culture together. There is no place for constant boring theory and mindless rote memorization. My values are trust, understanding and love.

My dedication to imparting the Ukrainian language to a diverse group of learners has shaped an identity, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences, skills, and qualities that make an invaluable asset in the field of education.

I love seeing and participating in my students' interest in the Ukrainian language. What warms my heart the most is their curiosity about every detail and exception. Especially when they want to look for new things for themselves and then tell me about what they have found with a twinkle in their eye.

I help adult learners speak English more fluently, naturally and with confidence.

This course is focused on real communication, not memorisation or complicated grammar rules.
You will practise speaking from the very first lesson and learn how to express your ideas clearly in real-life and professional situations.

This class is ideal if you:

understand English but feel blocked when speaking

translate in your head and lose fluency

need English for work, travel or international communication

My teaching approach is practical and communication-based.
We use real-life situations, guided conversation, simple explanations and active vocabulary practice.

My goal is to help you speak English clearly, naturally and with confidence - not to make you perfect, but effective in real communication.

I am here to help you with your high school classes! I am able to help with any class at any level; grades 9-12. It is helpful if you show me your notes and/or assignment so I know exactly what your teacher is asking for. My favorite subject is math and I love editing essays. I can also help with GED tutoring.

I have worked in various high schools for the last 7 years. My caseload has included students with and without an IEP. I want to make sure you are comfortable in this space and explain the material in a way that makes sense to you :)
