English for General Purposes, School/University, or Personal Interest

Von 30 € /Std

Speaking English is difficult and uncomfortable at times! However, it is necessary for many people. My General English classes focus on vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation (accent reduction), and increasing confidence. General English is for people who want to improve all of their English skills. Classes are structured and involve a lot of speaking practice. We use Google Docs, textbooks, articles, and videos during class. I can provide homework if desired.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Homework can be assigned if you would like it. These classes are good for B1 and above levels.

Über mich

I’m from the United States and have lived in the Netherlands for 3 years. I earned a Bachelors of Arts in English and History from UNC Chapel Hill, which is ranked as one of the best public universities in the US. I then earned a Masters of Teaching from UNC in 2010. After graduating, I worked at a non profit organization and then began teaching English after earning my TEFL certification.

Since 2015, I’ve taught over 4,000 private lessons to students from all over the world. I take pride in my skills as a supportive, responsive, and empathetic teacher. I offer customized lessons for each student and strive to focus on topics they are interested in. My specialties are General English, Test Preparation, Business English, and writing/proofreading.

I also worked as a writing coach and proofreader for two British universities, where I guided students on how to improve their writing, use critical analysis, and coached skills like grammar, punctuation, and writing flow to help them succeed in their studies. I've also proofread work for American and other European universities, such as dissertations, university applications, and other projects.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, rock climbing, and laughing at memes. I look forward to helping you with your English.

IELTS, TOEFL, School English Test Preparation Course

30 € /Std

Do you need help preparing for IELTS, TOEFL, or your school English exams? In this Test Prep class we use real, former test questions to build confidence with answering difficult questions in an exam setting.

We primarily work on speaking and writing skills, such as vocabulary building and grammar. For speaking, we focus on fluency and confidence building. Writing practice is typically assigned as homework and is checked during class. We will look at essay structure, transitioning, paragraphs, and vocabulary.

Business English Language Fluency via Conversation and Writing.

30 € /Std

Do you hate making English mistakes at work? Do you want to ask questions but don't know how? Are telephone calls awful? Do you need to negotiate, talk to a boss, make small talk, attend a conference, write emails, etc.? Does using English at work make you nervous?

If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, you are not alone! Most English language learners are scared to make mistakes in front of people, especially at work.

In my Business English class, I prepare students to speak in a variety of business situations. You will learn the vocabulary, useful phrases, and communication skills necessary for working in English.

In each class, we 1) Learn vocabulary, grammar, and useful information, 2) Complete activities to practice using what we learned, and 3) Have a conversation or role-play activity to use what you learned in a natural way.

Dear student/Querido alumno

My name is Denise I’m a Mexican Spanish as Foreign Language tutor (ELE Español Lengua Extranjera as acronym) certified by "Escuela Internacional Cervantes" with a Bachelor in Spanish Literature by the University of Nuevo León Mexico (UANL).

I started teaching and tutoring Spanish at a very young age helping my colleagues from High School achieve better scores and later I formalize this activity while finishing my university studies.
For the last seven years, I’ve been teaching Spanish in America and Europe to a broad variety of students: children/teenage tutoring, in-company adult students, online orientation and freelance translation for diverse projects.

I follow a flexible method adapting to the student’s level and personal goals.
During our classes the student will receive exercises, activities and extra resources as a plus for their class time.
My tools are diverse: textbooks, videos, podcast, newspapers, etc.
We can also discuss politics, arts, fashion or your favorite topic in order to develop your verbal or grammatical skills.

I invite you to contact me so we can achieve our learning goals together.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Each lesson is fully personalized to your level, goals, and specific needs (exams, immigration, work, studies, administrative procedures).

Sessions can focus on:
- DELF, DALF, and TCF exam preparation (practice tests, methodology, assessment criteria, oral and written simulations)
- French for immigration and naturalization
- Administrative French (forms, letters, understanding official documents)
-Professional and business French (emails, meetings, interviews, industry-specific vocabulary)
-Improving speaking skills, pronunciation, and fluency
-Strengthening grammar and vocabulary in context

The lessons are dynamic, structured, and interactive, with a strong emphasis on speaking practice. I use authentic materials: exam topics, administrative documents, articles, videos, and professional dialogues.

Thanks to my experience as an oral exam jury member and as a DELF, DALF, and TCF examiner, I will help you understand exactly what examiners expect and adopt the right strategies to succeed.

Regular follow-up is provided, with clear objectives and detailed feedback to track your progress and build confidence.

A graduate in Germanic languages, I have been a secondary school English/German teacher since 2021 and a private tutor since 2017. I also coordinate language camps and ONE centers and offer private English lessons. Whether you need academic support, want to meet professional challenges, are starting English from scratch, are looking to improve your skills, focus on grammar, speaking, or have other goals, I am available.

I offer lessons, but my main goal is to empower you to learn English, and languages in general, independently. I don't aim for the level of excellence you think you're currently in, but rather the level of excellence you allow yourself to achieve. My ultimate goal: that you no longer need me.

Each lesson is prepared in advance. I never arrive empty-handed.

Hello! For over 10 years, I have been helping students of all levels gain confidence in using English. I graduated in Romance philology, and foreign languages are my passion that I get to share through my work on a daily basis. I speak four languages fluently and am learning two new ones.
I have been working as an English teacher for over a decade, both individually and in language schools. My students regularly pass Cambridge exams (CAE and CPE), get promoted at work or simply start speaking English freely and without stress.
I use a variety of methods and exercises in my work, but above all I rely on natural conversation backed by my attentive feedback. My trademark is intensive pronunciation training – with me, you will speak like a movie star (definitely during our phonetic exercises :) ).
