Sinead - Voorburg34€
34€English lessons for speakers of other languages by CELTA qualified native speaker
Trusted teacher: I offer online or face-to-face English lessons to non-native speakers. I work with the student to identify learning objectives and any areas of weakness and tailor the lesson accordingly. Areas covered during the lesson include, speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar accent reduction. I currently live in Den Haag, The Netherlands. In addition to private coaching, I also work for an online ESL company delivering English lessons to children across a range of age groups. In addition, I also work as an ESL proofreader and IELTS private tutor here in The Hague. I hold a BA (Hons) degree and have a CELTA qualification. Prior to a career in ESL English teaching, I worked in the UK national press for the Times and Financial Times newspapers. It was there I developed my proofreading and communications skills. In my spare time, I write articles for magazines and have had feature stories published in The Telegraph magazine, The Daily Mail and a number of health magazines. I have also written two language books. The first, 'I Already Speak Speak French!' is an illustrated book for children that covers the etymology of many English words to their French origin (attached is a sample of it for your interest!). It has been translated for the French market into, 'I Already Speak English!' The second book is called, 'Learn Business English FAST!' which draws on a teaching methodology used for effective, fast learning that I used whilst teaching English for the international company, GoFluent.

Sandra - The Hague36€
36€American Native English Teacher - English Lessons for Children and Teenagers
Trusted teacher: Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities. Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more. For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested. Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students. I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Tom - The Hague58€
58€English Pronunciation and Accent Coaching / Training / Reduction with a Native Teacher
Trusted teacher: 💬 Do you feel like your English pronunciation is holding you back? It could be that people misunderstand you because of how you pronounce a sound or stress a word. Or it could be that people understand most of what you're saying, but they find it tiring to keep up. Or maybe your accent is stigmatised, making you feel judged before you even finish speaking. These are the kinds of issues I help people work through in accent coaching. I’m Tom, a native English speaker from the UK with a master's degree in Linguistics and 12 years of teaching experience. I offer one-to-one English accent coaching personalised for your needs and goals. I will help you correctly produce the sounds of English so that you can immediately start speaking with more clarity, confidence, and ease – and without stigma or embarrassment. ⭐ English Pronunciation and Accent Coaching / Training / Reduction with a Native Teacher WHAT WILL I LEARN? I will show you how to train your ear and build stronger connections between your mind and your speech muscles. You’ll start with controlled practice to master new sounds, then move into spontaneous speech so that these skills become part of your everyday speaking habits. Great pronunciation is more than vowels and consonants – it’s also about fluency and expression. You’ll practise the “four Ps” of effective speaking: pauses, pitch, prominence and pace. Together, these will help you speak with clarity, confidence and impact. We will use specialist software called Praat so that you can visualise your speech, hear yourself back and make immediate changes to your pronunciation. It's highly effective and pretty fun too! ⭐ Select between Accent Modification and British English Accent Coaching. 🌍 Accent Modification identifies and targets the issues that cause misunderstandings in your own specific natural accent. This varies depending on your accent. For Dutch speakers, this usually includes: • the consonants th, p, t, k, s, sh, r, and v • the vowels in "strut" and "foot" • making intonation less flat and more meaningful • relearning the connections between sound and spelling – famously fiendish in English! This course is for clients who who need precise training in a limited time. These clients aspire to be more understandable to the people around them and do not need to adopt a fully native accent. 💂 British English Accent Coaching is a step-by-step course that teaches you to sound like a British native speaker. It teaches all of the sounds that makes British English sound unique. This includes: • shifting many vowels towards a more forward placement in the mouth • adopting British intonation patterns for questions, lists and speeches • and of course the distinct British "t" sound (Brits do love their tea, after all). This course is for clients who have a talent for picking up sounds, pride themselves on sounding like fluent native speakers and have the time to invest in long-term training WHAT MAKES YOUR LESSONS STAND OUT? First, they’re accessible. Second, they’re personal. Too many pronunciation courses recycle the same generic materials for everyone. I design each lesson around your needs and issues so the time you spend actually moves you forward. Finally, they’re research-based. A lot of pronunciation teaching still relies on outdated methods that don’t reflect what we know today about how languages are learned. I have a master's degree in Linguistics and use approaches grounded in modern research. These are proven to translate your effort into lasting progress. WHO SIGNS UP FOR AN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION COURSE? Pronunciation training benefits professionals and enthusiasts from a variety of sectors. My clients include individuals from diverse backgrounds such as bankers, consultants, civil servants, creatives, therapists, lecturers, teachers, performers, estate agents, hosts, broadcasters, corporate trainers, small business owners and international executives. Whether you're speaking English in everyday conversations, presentations, media, or whatever else you do, your voice is your choice. ABOUT ME My name’s Tom, and I’m an English teacher from southeast England, based in the Hague, Netherlands. I teach English learners how to communicate more clearly. I have taught for various schools and agencies in the Netherlands and been frustrated by the lack of high-quality materials and expertise in the pronunciation teaching field. So in 2021 I set up my freelance teaching business to change the situation. I have over 12 years of teaching experience, and I have a master's degree in Linguistics from Leiden University, specialising in methods for teaching English pronunciation. I am trained in speech analysis software, which is a highly effective (and fun!) tool that helps learners not only hear but also visualise their mistakes. I speak Finnish (my mum's side is from Finland), Mandarin Chinese (I lived in Taiwan for six years) and French (because I love the sound of it). I also know smatterings of other languages like Dutch, Spanish and Japanese. I am an English language nerd and will happily talk your head off about why British people say "wa'er", what “muscles” have to do with mice, or why English spelling is so beautifully bizarre. Let's chat!

Sandra
rating star
rating green star
I recently enrolled my daughter (Dutch native) in English lessons with this teacher and I must say, the experience has been fantastic. My daughter has learned so much in the past few weeks and it's all thanks to the teacher's fun and engaging approach to teaching. The lessons are always interactive and my daughter loves them. She looks forward to her English class every week and I can see a noticeable improvement in her language skills. The teacher has a talent for making the lessons enjoyable and my daughter has a great time while learning. I highly recommend this teacher to anyone looking for an enjoyable and effective way to learn English!!!
