About Me

hey you!

First of all, thank you for visiting my profile and so nice to meet you. I would love to get to know you. To get an idea of me, here is a short introduction about myself.

I describe myself as a world-traveler with a big passion for languages, cultures and challenges. I am in love with life itself and a big fan of sports, food, reading and learning new things.

I was born in Goa, India, where I have learned English to communicate with the people there, and where I have lived until the age of 3. Then I moved to Italy to live at my dads home, where I learned Italian. At the age of 6, I moved to The Netherlands, where my mom is originally from, and I was raised there. I learned Dutch and more English, as English has become a prior language in The Netherlands. Also, I graduated in a Bachelor Degree in English.

As I have always traveled since I was a kid, the wanderlust inside me has never gone away. During my university and work schedules, I traveled the world and developed more languages. At the age of 23, I studied in Buenos Aires for a year, where I learned Spanish. At the age of 26, I lived in Brazil and learned Portuguese. That's how I ended up speaking 5 languages.

During my life abroad, I realized how important it is to speak English. Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to communicate with people in a foreign country. But also, improvement of a current speaking language is never a bad idea, as there are always new things to learn.

As an open-minded person with years of experiences in learning and speaking languages, getting to know new cultures and connecting with new people, I know the position in which you find yourself in. And I am here to help you to learn/improve your Dutch. If I can speak 5 languages, you can too. And always in a fun way! Speaking about the way of teaching.

How do I teach?
Every person is different. That's why I personalize my classes per student, so that you learn in a fun and comfortable way. Cause only when you are comfortable, learning is fun and motivational. First, I give a class to see who my student is. Like that I get to know the level of proficiency you own and what is the best way for you to learn.

My classes differ from grammar/vocabulary classes to practicing talking together. Also, I teach per topic. For example: introducing yourself, having a proper conversation about your day, traveling (asking your way around), restaurants/bars (how to order/talk about food). But also grammar and vocabulary classes to improve the basics. Anything to make you become a professional in Dutch!

In addition, I help students with schoolwork and writing a thesis in English and Dutch. I know how hard it is to write a thesis and how nice it is to get help with that. Last but not least, I review every class and give feedback, in order to make sure that the process goes well and suits your needs.

I really look forward to starting this journey with you! Do you?

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Do you need to improve your English so that you can participate fluently and confidently in business meetings, presentations, webinars, telephone conversations or interviews? You may be aiming for a job in the EU institutions or other organisations in Brussels. Or you could be working in an international company or studying for a Masters or another qualification...

I have been a qualified, professional English teacher and translator for more than 20 years. My courses enable learners to actively produce the language, repeat useful expressions until they are habitual and correct mistakes until they are removed. Although I am happy to explain and practice grammatical issues, the focus is on effective, correct and appropriate communication by using visual material, videos, interesting topics for discussion and challenging quizzes. As I have advanced knowledge of French, German and Czech, I can particularly appreciate and correct the issues speakers of these languages have in English, but this is also the case for Dutch speakers.

There is also the possibility of specialist English courses in the areas linked to my experience (see below): how the EU works; environmental, energy, regional or agricultural policies; economics.

- Advisor in EU policies and funding for 12 years (regional policy, economic development)
- Director of a regional representation to the EU and member of a management team
- Certificate in TESOL with business
- BA(Honours) in Modern Languages & Modern History, Oxford University
- Post-graduate in Economics, London University

Learning Arabic is more than picking up a new language—it’s opening a door to culture, identity, and deeper connection. Arabic classes help you communicate with confidence, understand rich traditions, and access a world of literature, history, and meaning that can’t be fully translated. Whether for personal growth, faith, travel, or career opportunities, taking Arabic classes strengthens your voice and broadens your perspective. Step by step, you’ll discover that Arabic isn’t just learned—it’s lived.
Our classes will be interactive, fun, and enjoyable which will help you navigate your learning journey easily and achiever your goal in shorter time than you thought!
