English for Students, Exam Support and Homework Help

Van 29 € /h

I specialise in teaching English at adult level and for students at school. I have helped many children and teens raise their expected grades in the SAT, GED, GRE and GMAT exams.

I am a creative practitioner, with a dynamic and enthusiastic approach. I ensure my lessons are enjoyable and I use the latest resources to plan challenging and engaging lessons that improve attainment at school.

I track the progress of my students and use effective assessment techniques, to find the learning gaps in my student's knowledge and understanding, and then plan precision lessons that target these. As a result, my students always make accelerated progress and often achieve better than expected results

Over

Hello, I'm Salma. I am an educationalist, teacher and tutor with over ten years experience tutoring students through school examinations and to academic success.

As an Ofsted-graded 'outstanding' teacher I have lead Literacy and Science teams, helped create in-school curriculums and trained teachers and staff in effective Literacy lessons, behaviour management and creativity in the classroom.

I have tutored many children and teenagers, helping them at different stages of their schooling. From teaching Reading to underachieving year 1 children, to supporting secondary school students in their Math and Science examinations, I bring with me the latest resources in education and techniques to ensure success.

My lessons are always engaging and fun. I challenge my students and push them to expand their knowledge and understanding. Targeting different learning styles, I use a variety of different activities and visual and aural materials to bring the subject to life. I am passionate about developing young learners' love for learning and confidence to achieve.

I specialise in English (British & American) tuition for native and non-native speakers of all ages, and have experience working with:
• young children learning English for the first time
• primary- and secondary-school students studying the English language and its literatures
• adult professionals and seniors wishing to improve their language skills, or develop pronunciation or presentational skills

I have two degrees in English language and literature (B.A. and Mst) from the University of Oxford, and I am also a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) Diploma program. I've developed a creative approach in my sessions with students that involves applying a student's particular talents and interests (regardless of subject) in the process of language acquisition, along with the simultaneous development of critical skills like close and careful reading, argumentation, written style, and effective communication.

I am versed in the requirements and intricacies of a range of national and international diploma programs. When working with students supplementing an academic syllabus, my goal is always to position them to succeed in the assignments and assessments laid out by a primary instructor.

I am an enthusiastic teacher who has taught general and business English, and English for academic purposes. Having experience with both teenagers and adults, I specialize in tutoring English based on four skills: Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing.

I plan my lessons regarding the student's needs and goals. In my lessons, I prefer using different teaching coursebooks and authentic resources (e.g. online articles, newspapers, magazines).

Since I have studied in different disciplines such as language teaching, literature and communication sciences, I could promise various lesson contents in each lesson to keep you excited during your learning process.

If you would like to learn English with me, please feel free to get in touch! I hope to hear from you soon!

English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills.

Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid.

In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals.

Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Are you looking for a qualified native English teacher (British) with extensive teaching and business experience? If so, I would love to help you!

I have a very simple teaching philosophy. Every single lesson must be challenging, rewarding, and fun – as the best way to learn is with a smile on your face. I adapt our lessons together to your unique needs and goals, including:

• improving your accent and pronunciation;
• helping you avoid steenkool English and typical ‘Dunglish’ words;
• broadening your vocabulary; and
• perfecting your use of tenses.

Most important of all, I can help improve your confidence, which is the key to learning any language.

A speciality of mine is Business English, so I can also help with everything from preparing for an interview or speaking in meetings, to giving a presentation.

While my classes are 100% in English, I can also speak Dutch and Spanish. This gives me a real insight as to why students make certain mistakes, and how to best avoid them.

Hi, I'm Caitlin, I was raised bilingually and grew up in Amsterdam. Half my family is from the Netherlands and the other half from South-Africa. Therefore I'm a native speaker in both Dutch and English. Let me help you prepare for your new job, your children with learning English for the first time or if you just feel like becoming a more fluent speaker of English! Let's look at your interests together and I will design our classes so that we discuss topics, articles and other items that are of interest to you! Besides teaching English I have a lot of experience in teaching private violin lessons to both children and adults. I'm a patient teacher that will take the time to walk you through all the steps!

Hallo, ik ben Caitlin, ik ben opgegroeid in Amsterdam en tweetalig opgevoed. De helft van mijn familie komt uit Nederland en de andere helft uit Zuid-Afrika. Daarom spreek ik vloeiend Nederlands en Engels. Laat me je helpen om je voor te bereiden op jouw nieuwe baan, om je kinderen Engels te leren of als het je gewoon leuk lijkt om vloeiender te worden in het Engels! Laten we samen kijken naar jouw interesses zodat we de lessen kunnen inrichten naar jouw wensen! Naast engelse les geven heb ik ook veel ervaring in het geven van privé-lessen in viool zowel aan kinderen als volwassenen. Ik ben een geduldige docent die de tijd zal nemen om je stap voor stap te begeleiden!

Hi! I'm Tanya.
I was born in Italy, but for the last two years of my life I have traveled the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East, traveling and working remotely.
I am a professional teacher with 6 years of experience. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.
I have a degree in languages, I am certified in international law and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language, but also how to learn new languages!
I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!
That's because I love learning new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.
My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language.
My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning.
My classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic.
GROUP LESSONS possible!
See you soon! :-)

Looking for extra help with English at school? You've come to the right place. I'm happy to help you with all your questions and guide you in practicing the subjects you find difficult. Are you doing really well with speaking, but do you feel like writing is a bit less successful? Then we'll work together on fun assignments to improve your writing skills. So whether you find everything about the subject a bit difficult, or certain subjects such as writing, listening or speaking skills: I'm happy to help you find the way that suits you best to make progress in this. I adapt my lessons to the level and learning style of each student, so that you can achieve your goal as well as possible.

If you have specific questions about your schoolwork or if you have trouble with English at school, it is best to use the material you receive at school in the tutoring as a guideline. I can then supplement this with more assignments and material that suits your level.

I myself went to a bilingual high school and studied English at International Baccalaureate (IB) level. So if you need help practicing for a Cambridge or IB exam, that is also possible!

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested or have any questions.

I offer various types of lessons, fully tailored to your level and learning style. Whether you want to improve your speaking, prepare for an exam, or simply gain more confidence, we'll create a plan together that suits you. Every lesson focuses on practical language use and, above all, speaking a lot.

Study guidance/Tutoring

English doesn't have to be a stumbling block. With a little extra help, you can make much faster progress. In my coaching, I work with students from university (Master's and Bachelor's), universities of applied sciences, intermediate vocational education (MBO), pre-university education (VWO), senior general secondary education (HAVO), and pre-vocational secondary education (VMBO) who face challenges with grammar, reading, listening, writing, and speaking. We address exactly where you struggle—so you truly understand the material and get better grades.

Exam preparation

Prepare for your final English exam (VMBO, HAVO, or VWO) with confidence. Together, we'll practice past exams, discuss common mistakes, and I'll teach you smart strategies to better understand texts and formulate sharper answers. This way, you'll know exactly what to expect and you'll feel confident about your exam.

To speak

Many people know the rules of English quite well, but find it difficult to translate that knowledge into a fluent conversation. In my lessons, you'll practice exactly that. We'll work on pronunciation, sentence structure, and fluency, but above all, on having the courage to speak. With targeted feedback, I'll help you speak English with greater ease and confidence—in any situation.

Pronunciation

Want your English to sound more natural? With a few practical adjustments, you can significantly improve your pronunciation and intonation. In these lessons, you'll learn how to form sounds correctly, use natural rhythm, and avoid typical "Dutch" mistakes. You'll soon notice that your English sounds much more natural.

Grammar

Once you understand how it works, English actually becomes much easier. In my lessons, you'll learn the rules in a comprehensible way and immediately apply them in conversations and exercises. This way, you'll learn not only what's correct, but also why—and that makes all the difference in how natural your English sounds.

Do you want to improve your English but don't know where to start? In my English tutoring sessions, we'll first assess your current level and learning goals. Based on that, I'll develop a personalized approach that's right for you. Lessons can focus on:
- grammar
- vocabulary
- reading and listening skills
- oral conversations (speaking and building self-confidence)
- school assignments, tests or presentations.

I teach my lessons in an accessible and proactive way. Because I'm still a student myself, I know exactly what works and what doesn't. The tutoring sessions are suitable for pupils, students, and adults.
