Hugh is a very friendly person, and teaches in a good way.
YES! I should have done this way earlier. Hugh is fantastic, the classes are fun, and most importantly: the classes truly help me to get more confidence in speaking English. I tended to avoid conversations - or even jobs - where English speaking was involved. Now, just after 2 classes, I find myself jumping into English conversations here and there. Hugh is very kind, creates a safe space for you, and corrects you in the most subtle ways. I can definitely recommend Hugh's classes!
Nice pro,I like the class.
Ondersteunend motiverend realistisch!!
Goede culturele achtergrond geeft sfeer en is gezellig
Waardevol
The classes with Hugh are fantastic!
I always have a good time with him; he's very funny and he knows how to figure out your weak points and correct them with good exercises. Thank you so much Hugh!!!

Creative and structured Spanish classes for children and adults.
Hola everyone!
I have always been passionate about arts, culture, people and traveling, and through my communicative experiences interacting with different people in different languages around the world, I have understood the essential needs when it comes to language acquisition. That is why my method is a compilation of the traditional usage of books, texts, audios and short films, combined with powerpoint presentations full of images, interactive games and recreation of real life situations in which the students will naturally learn complex grammar topics while having fun. I also create a particular relationship with each student to detect the type of learner the student is and tailor the class according to his/her personality, needs and expectations. The class can be taught in English or Dutch but I am always aiming for exposing the student to Spanish as much as possible so he/she can experience a faster progress.
I am a native spanish speaker with a bachelor degree in Social Communication from Pontificia Javeriana University in Bogota-Colombia and ELE Spanish Teacher certified by Lola Martínez Cabrera Senior Professor from “Molinos de Viento” in Amsterdam. I am currently working at "Molinos de Viento" Spanish School and Cultural Center. I led “SpaansCreativo” (spanish classes for children) in 2018-19 and been giving private spanish classes to adults for the last five years. For the last 10 years I have been dealing with spanish, english, dutch and german on a daily basis.

Learning languages is fun and easy :) try it out with me!
My name is Marija and I've recently moved from Germany where I have been an English teacher in a private language school and Volkshochschule, and a private tutor.
I am a passionate linguist who lives the languages. I teach all levels and prepare kids and young adults for exams and help them expand their knowledge. Languages are the most beautiful thing in the world and I always try to make language closer to the student, no need for pressure and stress, everything can be learned with little bit of patience and will :) I work with individuals and groups.

Speaking English/Russian/French/Ukrainian is hard unless you give it a try with me!
Being a native Russian and Ukrainian speaker, I have studied at Sciences Po in France and I have now moved to Amsterdam to pursue my studies at UvA. If you are asking yourself why studying with me, just consider that I am fluent in English and French. I am learning Spanish and German. My methods of learning foreign languages are efficient. Thus our lessons together promise to be extremely productive, as my two-year teaching experience shows.

Spanish classes. Basic, intermediate and advanced levels. Conversation and grammar, all ages
Me especializo en que el estudiantes logre mantener una conversacion fluida en español utilizando la hora de clase para mejorar pronunciacion y fluidez. A la vez se le brinda al estudiante una guia practica donde se le explicara la gramatica y podra hacer infinitos ejercicios practicos que le ayuden a mejorar su comprension y analisis de texto. Tambien trabajamos con imagenes, sonidos y videos para que el estudiante logre reconocer, interpretar por el mismo y mejorar su capacidad auditiva. En los niveles basicos e intermedios utilizo un sistema donde el estudiante pueda escuchar, copiar y repetir informacion similando el inicio de aprendizaje de su idioma natal.
Asigno tareas despues de cada leccion e informo el progreso del estudiante mes a mes.I specialize in students being able to maintain a fluent conversation in Spanish using class time to improve pronunciation and fluency. At the same time, the student is given a practical guide where the grammar will be explained and they will be able to do infinite practical exercises that will help them improve their comprehension and text analysis. We also work with images, sounds and videos so that the student can recognize, interpret for himself and improve his hearing. In the basic and intermediate levels I use a system where the student can listen, copy and repeat information similar to the beginning of learning their native language.
I assign homework after each lesson and report student progress month by month
Paul-Antoine
Private French lessons (open to schoolchildren and those wishing to learn French)
Hello,
My name is Paul-Antoine and I live in Amsterdam where I am a student. I am currently studying at the University of Amsterdam in the PPLE bachelor (Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics).
From French parents, I followed all my education in the French system abroad and I speak French fluently.
In these support courses which can be academic or simply an aid to the deepening of the language, I will bring my personal culture and my recent readings which will also allow the student to discover another facet of French literature. In addition, these courses are also open to those who simply want to learn French.
If you would like more information on the learning methods that I will be offering, I invite you to contact me.
Regards,
Paul Anthony

Spanish lessons in Amsterdam: Native Spanish tutor
I am an audiovisual translator, but I love to teach languages in my spare time, I can teach Spanish since it is my native language, and English. I have experience with kids. I like to prepare my classes as if they were a game, setting small goals and objectives so we don't lose hope and actually learn something every day. I can help with conversation skills, culture, vocabulary and grammar.

Sebastian
German course for adults and teens! (All skill levels)
I am a German native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides German, I speak English, Swedish, Spanish, French and Italian. Having learned 6 languages myself, I am 100% convinced that I will successfully teach you German(in a fun and relaxed manner)! Therefore, I offer a money-back guarantee: Should you not be satisfied with the results of a course with me, I will reimburse you!
I have been teaching since 2018 and am currently one of the most-reviewed teachers on this platform. I encourage you to pause here and have a look at my reviews. I am confident that you too will have a similar view after having had some classes with me. On top of teaching here on Apprentus, I have taught offline group classes for the Volksuniversiteit The Hague (A Volksuniversiteit (litt. folk university) is an institute for non-formal adult education in the Netherlands). I also taught for and underwent training with Berlitz, which is one of, if not THE largest language school in the world, operating in over 70 countries and 500+ locations.
I am 33 years old, have an honours degree from Leiden University, The Hague, am calm, encouraging, and, most importantly, PATIENT. My main objective in classes is to make the student feel relaxed and at ease. I encourage you to speak without fear of making mistakes. In fact, I celebrate making mistakes. "Why?", you may ask. Well, making mistakes means that you are leaving your comfort zone. You are trying something that you are not already skilled at. You don't choose the easy path! People who never make mistakes are stagnant. Therefore, making mistakes should be CELEBRATED instead of shunned! So, good on you for mispronouncing "Nachmittag (Afternoon)", or using the wrong grammar when making a sentence! Here, let me help you get it right this time! :)
Do you already have German knowledge? No problem! Instead of building the basics, we can design classes that meet your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can hold presentations about topics of your interests or topics that I provide, we can discuss current events, hold debates, you can write news-paper article summaries, or we deep dive into advanced grammar. Whatever it is that you enjoy and need: We can do it together.
All my classes combine speaking, listening & grammar exercises in interaction with me. Unless you're a very advanced student, we will work with learning materials created by some of the best publishers for language learning in Germany. These materials serve as a red thread for our course that introduces new words, grammar, and exercises in a good pace and interesting manner which keeps you engaged and motivated. Furthermore, I show you German food, music and places. On top of that, I introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level!
Another important factor for me is having a personal connection. Unless you prefer to "stick to business", which is fine as well, we typically start our classes by talking about how the weekend or preceding weekdays have been. I don't see my students as a resource to be extracted, but as people for whom I develop a genuine interest. Over the course of time, we both know what is going on in our respective lives and update each other about small or big life events. Having taught many students for multiple years, I can gladly say that I have made real friends thanks to our classes, some of which I even have met in real life.
I am extremely confident that you very soon will have the same success that I have had in learning languages!
So what are you waiting for? Get in touch now to book an initial meeting in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn about you, your needs and wishes, which will allow us to design the optimal course for you.
See you soon!
Bis bald!
