About Me

Hi there,

My name is Lisa, I’m 26 years old and from Luxembourg.

I hold an LLB and an LLM from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and I am currently working as a legal trainee in Luxembourg. Alongside my law studies, I also studied English Literature and Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam.

I am happy to teach beginners to intermediate learners. From my own experience of learning languages abroad , especially during my time in the Netherlands, where I was often afraid to speak Dutch and people would quickly switch to English, I know how important it is to create a comfortable and encouraging learning environment. I strongly believe that the key to learning a language is speaking without fear and feeling free to make mistakes.

While grammatical accuracy is important, I believe it should come after developing confidence in communication. Language is first and foremost about connecting with people, and once communication feels natural, accuracy can be refined step by step. My goal as a tutor is to help students gain confidence, enjoy the learning process, and feel comfortable expressing themselves.

I am looking forward to meeting you!

Best,

Lisa

¡Hola a todos!

My name is Patricia. I'm a certified native Spanish teacher. I've been teaching Spanish and English as foreign languages since 2004, and I've fallen in love with my job a little more every year :)

I studied Spanish Philology and Literature and learned how to become a teacher at Universidad Nacional de Salta, Argentina. I've also completed a specific ELE training certification from Universidad Europea Madrid, and I'm certified as DELE examiner by Instituto Cervantes.

I'm a committed, responsible, and professional individual who is always eager to learn new things and is continually engaged in ongoing training. My patience knows no limits, and I can find a thousand ways to explain something if necessary.

I can make a course specifically tailored for you, according to your knowledge, needs, interests, and requests. In more than 20 years of teaching, I've never given the same course twice. I can compile and produce custom-made study material for you. Since I'm passionate about Spanish, I've studied its different varieties around the world, so I can guarantee that with my classes, you'll be able to have a proper conversation in any Spanish-speaking country.

Over the years, I've worked with a wide variety of students, from young adults to adults, from complete beginners to proficient people who just wanted to practice speaking. I also help students prepare for the DELE exams, I've done so in the past with excellent results.

I'm in love with languages and communication, and teaching is my calling and my passion. With me, grammar will never be an issue; furthermore, I can promise you that you'll enjoy it and have fun! :-D

I am a native Urdu speaker and love this polite and cultured language. Those students who wish to speak Urdu for the sake of personal enjoyment and fulfillment – or even to converse with their spouses, friends, and family – will learn with me to speak the language with a fine neutral accent. I will provide several real-life scenarios and encourage students to hold hesitation-free conversations with a pleasant accent. At the end of successfully finishing this course, the student will be able to converse in Urdu without hesitation.
Urdu is a beautiful language that is spoken by more than 200 million people worldwide in countries like Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates, and other parts of the world. Urdu started developing in North India around Delhi in the 12th century. It was based on the language spoken in the area around Delhi and was heavily influenced by Arabic and Persian as well as Turkish.
Urdu originates from Hindi, sometimes referred to as the 'sister' language of Urdu due to its grammatical basis. However, Hindi is written in 'Devanagari', a script similar to Sanskrit, and its vocabulary is influenced more by Sanskrit than by Persian and Arabic.

Hello!

I love teaching Spanish and helping people feel comfortable speaking the language. My classes focus mainly on conversation, because I believe that the best way to learn is by practising naturally and without pressure.

If you need something more specific, I can also help you with:
- Grammar
- Exam preparation
- Spanish for work
- Pronunciation
- Themed conversations based on your interests

Classes are personalised and tailored to your goals 😊

Kao profesor jezika sa dugogodišnjim iskustvom, pripremam decu u osnovnim i srednjim školama za kontrolne zadatke, provere znanja, maturske ispite itd.
Kroz zanimljiv i prilagodljiv nacin rada, uspevamo zajedno da na interesantan nacin savladamo gradivo koje ostaje zapamćeno i nakon vise godina.
Gramatika srpskog jezika vise nece biti problem, a petice se uz rad samnom podrazumevaju.
