English Tutoring with Holistic Approach for All Levels
From 52 € /h
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.

About Me
Hello there! My name is Klaudia and I am a linguistics student with a passion for grammar. Language is an everchanging medium and that fascinates me. I wonder how it shapes cultures and communication. I have lived in two countries outside my country of origin for that reason.
I attained English proficiency certificate in 2017 and the teaching certificate online in March 2020. I've studied and worked in the academic environment since 2017.
Teaching is a very reciprocal activity that not only gives satisfaction at both ends of the video call, but also allows for growth of both parties and makes room for more.
As a personal tutor I always focus on the individal needs of students and as I get to know them I try to tailor the lessons in an engaging way.
All languages in the world are connected and I find it fascinating to draw the connections between them by getting to know words in other languages. I try to incorporate it into my way of teaching, as some students, just like me, find it a good way to memorize vocabulary. A little bit of etymology hasn't hurt anyone! With children, however, I would use a different teaching tactic.
English is a 'lingua franca' in todays' world and lets you see this world more broadly.
You really should, can and will know it well!
Why not practice it with me online, whenever it fits your schedule?

Ahoy!
Thank you for wanting to practice, learn, read or prepare for exams in English. My name is Klaudia and I am an English freak / linguist. I have been teaching children, teens and adults for 5 years. 2016-2017 I had stayed in London where I learned my neutral accent. In 2019, I got TEFL 120h and from one year I teach professionally.
Lessons are always tailored to what you need. I believe in individual attention. What interests you, we'll talk about it in English. I prepare for every lesson and expect the same from you, that's why I always send you emails or messages so that your English stays active in your head even outside of class.
While class we use a number of assistance resources: handouts, interactive media web sites, games, music, comics, books, news and all.
The biggest benefit of my approach is flexibility. I make slots to use in your calendar. The more you take a class, the faster you will see the progress. I think one lesson a week is fine, but one lesson every 2 weeks is an absolute minimum.
Learn quickly when you want and enjoy using English.
I prefer to teach online because of corona, but I will come to you up to 20 km from Amsterdam.
