English for all levels, test preparation and academic writing - Amsterdam - Private lessons

English for all levels, test preparation and academic writing

From 20 € /h

Nowadays a good command of English is useful and often even necessary. We come in contact with the language almost everywhere, in school, on television, the internet, in conversations.

As a native German speaker I once had to learn the language as well and I know how challenging it can be. I already majored in English at school. After school, I went to a language school in the United States in order to prepare for the TOEFL language certificate. Thereafter I started a bachelor program which was held entirely in English. During my studies I learnt a lot about academic writing practices.
Often, the lessons in school focus on grammar and vocabulary failing to to convey a basic understanding of the language. Conversation and writing fall short as well.

I am offering lessons for children and teenagers. My goal is to support their learning experience in an engaging way. We will discuss what you need and how I can help you. Be it a basic introduction, grammar or conversational training. I also offer proofreading.

Lessons can also be taught via Skype.

About Me

My goal is to create an engaging and stimulating learning environment. I try to figure out with the student what is needed and how we can achieve this goal. Every person learns differently, so figuring out what works is key.
I am hoping to meet students which are curious and proactive. Their input is important to make this work.

I am teaching Chinese in Chinese school Amsterdam more than 3 years. I can speak both mandarin and Cantonese, teach children and adults, beginning Chinese or business Chinese, with games, songs, stories and films in my class, learning Chinese is more easy and more funny.

I am a French student in computer engineering doing an internship in Amsterdam. I propose French lessons to learn or develop your French. I do not speak Dutch but I speak English fluently, so classes can be done in English or French.

(Class currently on pause / pauzeren for upgrading the learning materials)

I am a Vietnamese native (born and raised in Hanoi) who has lived in the UK for 2 years, and now in my 8th year living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I am currently working full-time at an international Dutch company and tutoring Vietnamese is my favorite hobby!

This class will introduce you to various aspects of the Vietnamese alphabet, grammar, and spelling. I will also provide speaking practice at the end of every class. This class is designed for those of you who are interested in the Vietnamese language, as well as Vietnamese culture.

New vocabulary for each topic will be discussed. My study background is in Mathematics and Statistics, thus with the combination of languages you can expect 'a bit' of reasoning logic behind all lessons I give (which I think gives some structure to the lessons as well)!

Hi! My name is Gian-Piero and I am a young but very experienced English teacher.

I construct my lessons depending on the needs of the students, so that they can achieve their goals. Hope to see you soon! :D

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.

Speaking french fluently, I can help you learn this beautiful language in a fun and engaging way. I will cover all the important parts of the language starting from basic vocabulary to sentence construction and grammar. Moreover, I will pay special attention to the French culture and idiomatic speaking so that you learn how to speak french like a native. My class is perfect for beginner and intermediate level students.

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

Hi,

I am Andreia from Brazil currently living in the Netherlands. I can teach you Portuguese, English and Spanish! I graduated as a teacher at Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) and I had my diploma recognized by DUO (Dutch education authority) as a 1st grade teacher.

I also lived in Mexico for 5 years and I would love to use my international experience to help you learn your target language!

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 to expose the student to Spanish as much as possible so he/she can experience faster progress.

I am a native Spanish speaker with a bachelor's degree in Social Communication from Pontificia Javeriana University in Bogota-Colombia, ELE Spanish Teacher certified by Lola Martínez Cabrera Senior Professor from “Molinos de Viento” in Amsterdam and hold a postgraduate degree as ELE Spanish teacher from Barcelona University and International House. I have 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.

I want to help foreigners in learning Italian. My classes will provide learning the basics so grammar, verbs and so on. I also believe that a vital tool in learning a language is practice so I aim also to conversation sessions, listening and reading In order to get full insights into this beautiful language. Firstly my lessons are going to be taught in English but as soon as the student is able to speak and understand the basics of communication I aim to switch to full Italian.
