Over

Hi! I’m a psychology graduate from Erasmus University Rotterdam with several years of experience tutoring and mentoring both children and adults. I’m passionate about language, communication, and education, and I love helping others feel more confident when learning English or Polish.

As a tutor, I’m patient, empathetic, and adaptable. My approach is always student-centered: I aim to understand your goals and learning style and adjust each lesson to suit your needs—whether that means practicing speaking, improving pronunciation, reviewing grammar, or working on writing skills.

Thanks to my background in psychology, I’m especially attentive to how people learn and what motivates them. I use creative methods such as conversation practice, visual tools, real-life examples, and storytelling to make lessons engaging and relevant. I believe that learning should be both fun and meaningful.

I enjoy working with a wide range of students, including:

Beginners and intermediate learners building everyday communication skills
Students preparing for school or university-level work in English
Children or adults interested in learning or maintaining their Polish
Learners with diverse educational needs or learning challenges

*I speak Polish natively and English fluently, and I offer lessons in either language—online or in person in Eindhoven and Rotterdam.

I'm a native English speaker from the USA, living in Rotterdam. In my job as an engineer, I regularly help colleagues with their written and spoken English. I'm available to help you practice English on a regular basis on weeknights. I mainly work with students and professionals in technical fields who are interested in refining their English writing and speaking skills. I also speak fluent Dutch, as well as some Spanish and French, so I'm familiar with common English mistakes and understand what's causing them.

Examples of lessons:
- Reviewing written documents together, and identifying recurring errors (work emails, proposals, reports, etc.).
- General conversation practice, and presentation practice. I will listen, take notes, and provide feedback on pronunciation and grammar, while we discuss various topics.
- Practice speaking exercises in preparation for IELTS exams.
- Assistance with job applications (reviewing English CVs and cover letters).

I do not teach beginners courses in English, as I have a full-time job and this would require longer/more frequent lessons, and I do not have the training/background required to teach basic English.

If you're interested, I'd love to hear a bit more about what you'd like to learn, so I can tailor the lessons to your needs:
- What is your previous experience with English?
- Why are you improving your English?
- Do you have any specific goals? (e.g. certain topics you would like to be able to speak/write about)

For our first lesson we can meet at a cafe/park/library/online, and after that, we can choose the location that makes the most sense.

A qualified language coach with 25 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.

I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.

In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).

We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.

My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.

Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.

This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.

I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 25 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.

I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

Would you like to improve your English or do you need an explanation about grammar? You've come to the right place. I did my master's degree in mechanical engineering in English and I am fluent in the English language. The teaching method depends on the student. If the student has received a teaching method from school, this teaching method will be used during the tutoring. If this is not the case, a teaching method that I have purchased will be used. During the lessons, attention is paid not only to spelling and vocabulary, but also pronunciation. The latter is missing in many courses and tutoring. I will help you improve your pronunciation!

Underachieve?
Getting low grades and not knowing why?
No motivation to study?

It is often difficult for parents to estimate whether the child needs tutoring. And if it is certain that the child needs tutoring, 9 out of 10 times it is too late (stay put, advice too low, etc..)

to prevent this, sign up NOW for homework guidance!
for both high school and elementary school students.

I can come to the tutoring student myself (at home) or via facetime, teams and video calling.

Hello there! I am a university student at Erasmus University and would be thrilled to help others learn the languages I am comfortable and confident speaking! I am Italian and would happily teach such a dear to me! Moreover, I have always studied in a French-speaking school, making me fluent in both languages and prepared to juggle and learn languages myself. Additionally, I have been studying English since I was four and am currently studying for my bachelor's degree in English! I have certificates for all the languages I speak, and as I have, been learning multiple languages since a young age, I consider myself fit to help others understand them too! The structure of lessons would be customized to the wants and needs of my students, and therefore we would set goals together and work towards them!

Below are all my langauge certificates and grades!

italian: terza media 9/10, maturita' italiana 100/100
french: baccalaureat 18/20, in the subject french writing (17/20) speaking (20/20)
english: literature GCSE 8/9, IELTS certificate 8 (level C1)

The aim of this course is to increase fluency, confidence, use of language and pronunciation in order to improve your language skills.

I offer explanations of Grammatical topics, expansion of vocabulary and tips for pronunciation in order to improve the ability to be understood!

The best way to know a language is through exposition, therefore only English will be spoken in class.

My name is Mohamed from Syria, and I hold a degree in Business Administration. My journey with the English language began with a deep passion for learning it. Through dedication and hard work, I mastered the language using Cambridge curricula and other studies, achieving an advanced academic level (C1). This accomplishment inspired me to turn my passion into a mission, becoming an English teacher to support students eager to learn.

For the past three years, I have been volunteering as an English teacher in a non-profit organization, teaching both beginner-level students starting from scratch and intermediate levels (B1-B2).

My Teaching Approach:
I believe that learning English should be enjoyable and easy to apply in everyday life. My teaching method focuses on:

- Simplifying Grammar: Presenting rules in a clear and straightforward manner.
- Improving Speaking Skills: Developing conversational fluency with an emphasis on pronunciation and accent improvement.
- Interactive Activities: Using diverse educational activities to engage students.
- Practical Application: Addressing all aspects of the language that one might need in daily life, whether as a student or for other personal and professional purposes.

I am a TEFL-certified English teacher who is excited to help you achieve all of the goals you have set for yourself on the journey of learning English. I combine elements of traditional methodologies with some less traditional methods and approaches that I have extracted from my own experience with learning, as I am someone who speaks several different languages and am therefore very familiar with this process and what it takes to get better at a new language. I look forward to showing you how simultaneously efficient and fun learning a new language can be.
