Foundational Primary Education Tutor: Providing personalized support in Mathematics, English Language, and additional subjects

A partir de 85.27 $ /h

The foundation of a child’s education is a crucial step in their learning journey. In my tutoring sessions, it’s essential to assess each student’s current level to identify where they need the most support and determine the best starting point for their educational development.

I plan my lessons around the specific subjects where the student requires assistance, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet their individual needs and help them progress confidently.

Acerca de mí

I’m a dedicated and patient tutor who believes every child has the ability to succeed when given the right support. My teaching style is warm, structured, and adaptable — I meet students where they are and help them grow at their own pace.

I specialize in building strong foundations in Mathematics and English, while also providing support in other subjects when needed. Each lesson is tailored to the individual, focusing on their strengths, addressing areas that need improvement, and building confidence along the way.

I enjoy working with curious minds of all levels — whether a student is struggling to keep up or eager to move ahead. My goal is to make learning engaging, enjoyable, and meaningful, helping students develop not only academic skills but also a lifelong love of learning.

I'm a Spanish journalist and certified Spanish teacher with 18 years of experience and vast knowledge of teaching group classes, one-to-one classes, conversation, writing practice, and pronunciation for children, adults, and students of 50 different nationalities.

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!
Originally from Madeira (Portugal), I have been playing the violin for more than 20 years. After graduating from Bachelor and Masters, both at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, I have decided to pursue my education in the teaching field, currently enrolled on a second master's degree, this time in teaching.

In addition to already having a vast curriculum as a soloist or orchestral musician, I consider myself highly passionate about teaching, not only violin but also music theory. I have been very lucky to have had great teachers, who, in addition to have taught me the violin and the love for music, they have also shaped the person I am today.

I can't find anything more rewarding than to share everything what I learned throughtout all these years!

I am a native Spanish speaker from Canary Islands, Spain. I am really passionate about literature and I've always been really good at linguistics. I studied dramatic arts so I am a really sociable, empathic person, that likes to learn and teach by having fun!
I learnt that the best way to learn a lenguage is by simply listening a talking! So no grammar sheets, no filling papers and completing sentences. This is unusefull. Do you want to learn spanish? Then... let's talk!
I can organize every class for topics we can talks about, but I am looking forward to know what is the best way for fou to learn, so you can always let me know what is more helpful for you.
I have experience as an extracurricular teacher with children and teenagers. Back in Canary Islands I used to teach literature, history and Spanish language.
I am also flexible, if there is something you are specificly curious about, we can do it (grammar, spanish history, spanish exams, learn about different accents, etc)

Thank you for trusting me!

Always wanted to learn Spanish, but the regular lessons go too fast and/or it doesn't stick, then follow these tailor-made lessons.

Why class for 40+, because we have learned from our own experience how difficult it is to learn another language later in life and that most books/courses are based for younger students.

All lessons are adapted to your individual needs and speed.

You do not need to purchase any books, all materials will be delivered by email. This is because we work with several books and in this way we can offer a lot of learning material and thus make the learning material varied (and also rehearse more often if necessary.)

There is no minimum or maximum number of lessons, you are the one who determines the frequency. Of course you can also do these lessons with your partner.

Lessons are given online via Skype and last 1.5 hours at a time.
Lessons can be given during the day or in the evening.

I am a native Swedish, Spanish and English speaker and provide tutoring in all those languages.

During the tutoring sessions the student and I will look for ways of learning that works best for them, so they can be as engaged and retain as much new knowledge as possible. This comes from listening to the student and seeing their strengths and areas where more support is needed.
The key in my teaching is to make it fun. I am engaged and motivated with my students, and want to help them see the fun and value in what they are doing.

Lessons are customised to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English, Swedish or Spanish for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can also be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent in one of these languages, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Specific subjects that interest the student can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge within this topic.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration can be adjusted. I also do lessons for siblings. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for my students.

Education:
I have ample experience working with kids as I worked at a YMCA summer camp in Sweden for many summers, supervising a group of 10-12 kids around the clock for 4 weeks, joining/monitoring them on their group activities/classes, as well as everything else logistically around them. I also have a genuine interest in child development and pedagogy as a whole.

I have a bachelors degree in Social Psychology and one in Media and Communications from Uppsala University in Sweden.
