I'm a native English speaker from the USA, living in Rotterdam. In my job as an engineer, I regularly help colleagues with their written and spoken English. I'm available to help you practice English on a regular basis on weeknights. I mainly work with students and professionals in technical fields who are interested in refining their English writing and speaking skills. I also speak fluent Dutch, as well as some Spanish and French, so I'm familiar with common English mistakes and understand what's causing them.

Examples of lessons:
- Reviewing written documents together, and identifying recurring errors (work emails, proposals, reports, etc.).
- General conversation practice, and presentation practice. I will listen, take notes, and provide feedback on pronunciation and grammar, while we discuss various topics.
- Practice speaking exercises in preparation for IELTS exams.
- Assistance with job applications (reviewing English CVs and cover letters).

I do not teach beginners courses in English, as I have a full-time job and this would require longer/more frequent lessons, and I do not have the training/background required to teach basic English.

If you're interested, I'd love to hear a bit more about what you'd like to learn, so I can tailor the lessons to your needs:
- What is your previous experience with English?
- Why are you improving your English?
- Do you have any specific goals? (e.g. certain topics you would like to be able to speak/write about)

For our first lesson we can meet at a cafe/park/library/online, and after that, we can choose the location that makes the most sense.

Oi Tudo bem? My name is Marcelo and I am from São Paulo.

I teach Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese in The Hague and Rotterdam. Fortunately, I can combine my university studies and 23 years of practical teaching experience in such a way that the lessons are well-founded and stimulating.

I have lived and studied in Brazil and Portugal (Coimbra), so I am a native speaker, with a lot of knowledge of the associated culture. By twist of fate, I am also bilingual, so I can explain grammar in Dutch and vice versa. My training is focused on speaking skills.

For years I also gave business training at two very well-known language schools, so I know how to transfer a lot of knowledge in a short time. As a student you will feel this immediately from the first lesson.

Learning Portuguese for business or urgently (within 10 working days) is also possible. I have a Chamber of Commerce and VAT number.

I have a lot of experience teaching lessons via Teams of Whereby (Whereby is more professional and European), even before the crisis because I also teach students in other countries.

For virtual lessons, you will receive a transcript of the lesson by email after the lesson. Classes at my home are also possible with 6 feet of distance and good circulation.

My lessons are very structured and step by step. In addition, I always explain the 'why' of a grammatical topic, which creates a link that also works better for memory and makes the lesson more interesting.

Because I am so results-oriented, I try to gently guide trainees up the stairs to full speaking skills and my job is to make the lessons as educational and attractive as possible.

Abraços (kind regards)
Marcelo

Would you like to learn a new skill? You've come to the right place. I am Portuguese and I am fluent in this fantastic language. During my Portuguese lessons you will not only learn the language, but I will also enrich your knowledge about Portuguese culture: Portuguese customs and superstitions for example. I use a teaching method that covers spelling, vocabulary and pronunciation of the words. The latter is often missing in other courses and tutoring. Together we will ensure that you have a good command of the Portuguese language!

As a pedagogue and teacher of ELE (Spanish as a second language), my main objective is to develop students' communication skills and strengthen them as intercultural speakers.
To carry it out, I work with various materials and tools that provide dynamism and interaction to the classes.
The classes are adapted to the needs and levels of the learners.

Do you have a Turkish partner and you want to communicate better?
Do you work with Turks and you want to improve your relations?
Are you fascinated with Turkish culture and want to learn more?
Or for any other reason, I got you!
Formal, informal, casual. Depending on your needs, I prepare a program special for you, and you learn exactly what you need.
I am a native Turkish speaker who has lived in Rotterdam for 5 years.
I lived in many different countries and learned many different languages. I have a natural talent for learning and teaching languages, and understanding people's cultures and needs, therefore I know how to detect what one needs to learn a language quickly, and more efficiently.

My name is Mohamed from Syria, and I hold a degree in Business Administration. My journey with the English language began with a deep passion for learning it. Through dedication and hard work, I mastered the language using Cambridge curricula and other studies, achieving an advanced academic level (C1). This accomplishment inspired me to turn my passion into a mission, becoming an English teacher to support students eager to learn.

For the past three years, I have been volunteering as an English teacher in a non-profit organization, teaching both beginner-level students starting from scratch and intermediate levels (B1-B2).

My Teaching Approach:
I believe that learning English should be enjoyable and easy to apply in everyday life. My teaching method focuses on:

- Simplifying Grammar: Presenting rules in a clear and straightforward manner.
- Improving Speaking Skills: Developing conversational fluency with an emphasis on pronunciation and accent improvement.
- Interactive Activities: Using diverse educational activities to engage students.
- Practical Application: Addressing all aspects of the language that one might need in daily life, whether as a student or for other personal and professional purposes.

Hello! 👋

My name is Rafael and I’m from Portugal! :)

I would love to help you on this adventure of learning the Portuguese language.
I’m fluent in teaching both bacalhau Portuguese and caipirinha Portuguese (PT & BR). I’m deeply involved with both cultures.

My classes are tailored to meet the needs of my students. I have the experience and skills to offer conversation lessons and/or more structured classes focused on grammar.
Whatever your reason for seeking Portuguese lessons, I’m here to listen and help you in any way I can.

FYI: I’m also a musician, so we can chat a lot about music or even incorporate it into our Portuguese lessons. Have you ever wanted to analyze the lyrics of Bossa Nova or Fado? If you love Brazilian or Portuguese music, we can definitely use it as class material.

I have been teaching at the Una Paloma Blanca language school in Rotterdam since 2020.

Here, I had the chance to really develop my teaching craft, working with many different students, each with their own needs and reasons for learning Portuguese. I had the opportunity to teach both European and Brazilian Portuguese to individual and group classes.

In addition to this work, I also provided private lessons to some students who needed preparation before moving to Brazil or Portugal.

In my classes, we set personal goals, and I help you with all the knowledge and experience I have.

My lessons are balanced with a good amount of conversation practice, grammar and exercises.

So, you want to learn Portuguese, but you’re still not sure if I’m the right person to help?

I would be delighted to do a lesson so we can introduce ourselves and discuss how I can assist you!

Let me show you how I can be a fun and efficient Portuguese tutor! :)

Thank you for your attention, and I hope to see you in class!

Rafael
