Areas covered during the lesson include, speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar accent reduction. I currently live in Den Haag, The Netherlands. In addition to private coaching, I also work for an online ESL company delivering English lessons to children across a range of age groups. In addition, I also work as an ESL proofreader and IELTS private tutor here in The Hague. I hold a BA (Hons) degree and have a CELTA qualification. Prior to a career in ESL English teaching, I worked in the UK national press for the Times and Financial Times newspapers. It was there I developed my proofreading and communications skills. In my spare time, I write articles for magazines and have had feature stories published in The Telegraph magazine, The Daily Mail and a number of health magazines. I have also written two language books. The first, 'I Already Speak Speak French!' is an illustrated book for children that covers the etymology of many English words to their French origin (attached is a sample of it for your interest!). It has been translated for the French market into, 'I Already Speak English!' The second book is called, 'Learn Business English FAST!' which draws on a teaching methodology used for effective, fast learning that I used whilst teaching English for the international company, GoFluent.

As an MSc Astronomy student, I work with mathematics every day, and over the years I’ve learned how to explain it in a way that feels clear and intuitive, not overwhelming. What I would say I’m especially good at is helping students who feel like math is “not for them”: I break problems down into simpler steps, show the logic behind the method, and help you build confidence through practice. I have been tutoring for about 7 years and have helped students improve their grades, prepare for exams, and finally understand topics they previously found confusing. What I can help you with: - Homework support and catching up on missed topics - Exam preparation (practice questions + strategy) - Building strong foundations: fractions, percentages, algebra, equations, functions, graphs, geometry - Improving study habits and avoiding common mistakes How lessons usually work: - We start with your level, goals, and what your teacher expects - I explain concepts step-by-step, then we practice together with similar exercises - We’ll write short summaries and you'll get optional homework so you improve between sessions - If you have a test coming up, we can do focused exam-style practice Lessons are available online and in person if you’re nearby. Send me a message with the student’s school level/year and what you need help with, and I’ll suggest a plan for the first sessions.

I have been a teacher for over 30 years, and I gained experience in teaching Polish as a foreign language at the People's University (Volksuniversiteit) in The Hague (Netherlands). Since 2015 I have been teaching Polish to adults from different backgrounds at this university. I am a teacher with language teaching preparation, which means that I am prepared to conduct Polish lessons as a foreign or second language Moreover, children from Polish-Dutch families were or currently are participants in my private and group lessons at a Saturday school in the Netherlands. Given my disciplined, reliable and professional attitude, I am happy to take up any challenge in teaching Polish as a foreign language. I use simple yet effective teaching methods such as a focus on direct contact with the language, natural acquisition of vocabulary and grammar or frequent repetition of language material. During my lessons I mainly use the tools and materials from various publishers. Being a teacher gives me great satisfaction, especially when I see students ambitiously continue their language learning and try to use and expand their knowledge at every interaction with the Polish society.

English is a world language. You can go almost everywhere with English. That is why it is important that you have some command of English and that you can make yourself understood. And that is what I am for, helping people, young or old, to learn English or improve their English. Method: First I make an assessment of aptitude for, and existing knowledge of, English for each student. During teaching I find the following elements important: 1. Creating a friendly and pleasant atmosphere in which the student starts to feel enthusiastic. 2. Discipline. This means that the course leader and the student (s) do what is expected of them. 3. From simple to complicated, tailored to the aptitude and experience of the student (s). 4. Practicing a lot and repeating previous lessons. 5. Structured work. This mainly means working on the grammar of English because grammar gives structure to a language. 6. Regular keys.

As a native French speaker, my classes are dynamic, varied and above all, effective! In addition to traditional language books, I like to use "real" materials (newspaper articles, radio podcasts, board games, novel extracts, etc.). I have 7 years of experience in teaching French as a foreign language, with various publics (young people, students, adults / private lessons, in class, in companies...). I have a diploma to teach French as a foreign language (DAEFLE) and my method is based on the pedagogy currently recommended by the European Common Framework of Reference for Languages. That is to say the "actional" pedagogy: the fact of putting the student as much as possible in a real communication situation. The approach of my courses is also "inductive": it allows the student to appropriate the rules of grammar in a progressive and intuitive way, by using observation and deduction.

• Is your English pronunciation holding you back? • Do people misunderstand you and ask you to repeat yourself? • Do you notice that people get tired listening to you? • Do you feel judged before you even finish speaking? I’m Tom, a native English speaker from the south of England. I've developed my methods from a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics plus 13 years of teaching. My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback. ❗ 45-minute lessons are via Zoom only I offer one-to-one English accent coaching personalised for your needs and goals. I will help you correctly produce the sounds of English so that you can immediately start speaking with more clarity, confidence, and control – and without feeling awkward or anxious. Although I take coaching seriously, and I want you to as well, my classes are also light-hearted and warm. People learn best when they’re enjoying themselves and feeling deeply interested, and that is my promise to you. I will correct your mistakes, but I will never shame or embarrass you for making them. My class is a place where people come to feel good and grow confidence. ⭐ English Pronunciation and Accent Coaching / Training / Reduction with a Qualified Expert Native Teacher WHAT WILL I LEARN? • Change key vowel and consonant sounds that cause misunderstandings • Control your rhythm, intonation and pausing • Build links between your hearing and speech muscles • Breathe comfortably and strengthen your voice • Adapt your voice appropriately for different purposes – meetings, interviews, presentations, pitches, conversations, and more ➡️ Fast pronunciation improvements – our main goal at all times WILL I SOUND 100% NATIVE? ❗Research shows that for most adult speakers, it's just not possible after our teenage years to develop a fully native accent. So, honest accent coaching is not about training you to sound native. Instead, a good coach will train you to be understood by as many people as possible and communicate exactly what you intend. That means fixing problematic sounds and expanding your range of vocal styles by borrowing from voice acting techniques, from sounding authoritative and executive to warm and supportive. If you do want to sound native, I can still help you – whichever accent you prefer – from the UK, USA, Australia or anywhere else. I can train you in the accent of your choice. If your native language is very close to English, like Dutch, or you have a sharp ear for sounds and mimicry, you may be able to develop a native-like accent as an adult. In our first session, you can take a specialised test to discover if this could be you. WHAT ARE YOUR METHODS? I've developed my methods from a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics plus 13 years of teaching. My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback. • I use modern evidence-based methods • I create my own original training materials tailored to YOUR individual language background, goals, requirements and preferences • I offer a customised course specifically for you, not a one-size-fits-all package • You’ll start with controlled practice to master new sounds, then move into spontaneous speech so that these skills become part of your everyday speaking habits Curious to learn more or not sure if you need coaching? Send me a message and I'll be happy to give you my honest opinion.

I pay a lot of attention to attitude, musicality and interpretation. By learning a good technique you automatically get inspiration and pleasure to play the most beautiful piano pieces. You learn to develop your own musical taste. During the lesson we play duos together for fun, but also to learn to make music with someone. Lesson for children I introduce starting children from 6 years old to the piano by playing and singing at the same time. Then we quickly switch to piano books such as the Thompson method. You learn to read notes, rhythms, correct piano touch and posture so that you can quickly play your favorite piece of music. Do you want to apply for admission to the conservatory or do you want to play in a band? I can help you prepare for auditions. Lesson for adults Advanced children and adults follow an individual program depending on personal wishes and level. The pleasure and happiness of making music are central. House concerts and stage student concerts. During the festive concerts you will have the opportunity to play for others and hear different music from other students. Info Lessons take place at my home in Leiden. I teach in Dutch or English.

“Don't play the saxophone. Let it play you.” – Charlie Parker Every person has their own musicality—we just need to let it come out. My goal as a teacher is to help you discover how much fun, joy, and passion music can bring. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced player, I will guide you in developing both your technical skills and your personal voice on the saxophone. I began my musical journey in Verona, Italy, where I graduated in Classical Saxophone in 2017. Soon after, I started teaching saxophone at the Lizard Music Academy in Garda and introducing music to children in primary and middle schools. Later, my passion for improvisation and creativity led me to continue my studies at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam, where I specialize in Jazz and Latin music. I believe music has no age: you are never too young or too old to express yourself through an instrument. If you feel drawn to the warm, expressive sound of the saxophone, let’s begin this musical journey together. “Whatever you think can’t be done, somebody will come along and do it.” – Thelonious Monk SAXOPHONE LESSONS: To truly express your musical ideas on the saxophone, you need a strong connection between body, mind, and instrument. That’s why every lesson begins with a focus on sound and technique—developing your tone, breath control, and body awareness. You will learn how to shape your own saxophone sound and how to “sing” through the instrument. For beginners, this process may take a few weeks, but it quickly shows how musical practice can positively influence not only your playing but also your body, emotions, and creativity. To make your learning experience enjoyable and personal, my lessons are always adapted to your goals and musical interests—whether that’s reading music, improvisation, or other areas you want to explore. Together, we will also build your own personal repertoire of songs that reflect who you are. The second part of each lesson will be dedicated to working on these pieces, so that you develop not only technique but also musical expression. HOW MY LESSONS WORK In my lessons, the main focus is sound. A beautiful saxophone sound has the power to captivate an audience with just a single note. That’s why we always start by working on long tones across the full register of the instrument. The more natural and relaxed your embouchure and body are, the more easily the reed will vibrate—resulting in a warmer, personal sound. We will then explore saxophone technique, including scales, arpeggios, vibrato, tonguing, dynamics, overtones, and playing in both the low and high registers. These exercises will give you the technical foundation to express yourself freely. From there, we’ll connect technique with music: 1. Harmony & Improvisation – We’ll work directly on the songs you love. By transcribing, analyzing, and exploring harmony, you’ll learn how to improvise over chord progressions and develop your own repertoire. 2. Reading Music – An essential skill if you want to play in bands, ensembles, or orchestras. We’ll practice sight-reading and written repertoire to strengthen this ability. 3. Audition Preparation – If your goal is to enter a conservatory (classical or jazz), I have experience guiding students through auditions. We can focus on etudes, required repertoire, and exam preparation. Above all, my approach is personalized to your goals and interests. Whether you want to play your favorite songs, learn to improvise, or prepare for advanced studies, I’ll guide you step by step. I believe that music makes the mind free, and that everybody can play—it’s just a matter of practicing and listening in the right way. If you feel that the saxophone is your instrument... what are you waiting for? 🎷 Let’s make music together! FOR THE CURIOUS (and the Nerdy!): For students who want to dive deeper into the world of the saxophone, I also offer special listening sessions dedicated to the instrument’s role in music history and across different styles. We’ll explore the saxophone in classical repertoire (Gershwin, Bizet, Milhaud, Rota, Bernstein, Steve Reich, Michael Nyman...), and then follow its journey through popular music: Blues, Jazz (Stan Getz, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Rollins...), Latin, Rock & Roll, Pop, and beyond—right up to today’s music. Together, we will listen to the milestones of great composers and performers who shaped the history of this fantastic instrument. It’s a journey of discovery into the beauty of music through the saxophone—one that will inspire you, expand your listening, and deepen your passion for this amazing art form.
