Business and/or Academic English (ESL) - Writing, Speaking, Listening and Reading for IELTS and other English specs.

Àpd 29 € /h

I am a QTS-certified specialist English teacher, with a wealth of experience in both literature and second language teaching. Our focus will be on promoting a range of English skills and helping you towards two crucial outcomes. Firstly, you will become proficient and make progress towards your goals in whichever English language specification you are pursuing. Secondly, you will develop your general English skill and improve your practical English proficiency. I will not just prepare you for the test, I will also coach you on how to use these English skills in everyday life!

I specialise in IELTS, as it is where I have the majority of my experience, but I am also familiar with TOEFL specifications and will happily adapt to your needs. After a short assessment in our first session, all future lessons will be tailored entirely to your own needs. Likely I will set you a piece of homework every week, depending on what those needs are.

Informations supplémentaires

You will need a laptop or other device capable of running Zoom. In addition, you will need access to some sort of word processor (ideally Microsoft Office or Google Drive, but I will happily accept work created in Pages.)

Présentation

I am an enthusiastic and knowledgeable English teacher living in the outskirts of Amsterdam.

I have a broad range of experience teaching English from multiple perspectives. While my first love is literature, I am also greatly experienced not only at teaching English as a foreign language, but also teaching to internationally-recognised English proficiency tests, such as IELTS and TOEFL. The course I have taught for the past two years is renowned for its extremely high rates of progression to UvA, an elite institution. I am also highly proficient at remote teaching, having taught dozens of students via video chat tools.

Previous students have spoken warmly of my patience and my keen eye for grammatical detail. I am especially adept at giving specific and actionable feedback on writing.

If you're looking for a teacher with a proven track record, deep experience and knowledge, and an aptitude for personalised, specific teaching, I should be first on your list.

Some Reviews:
Chevaan:
Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

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.

🖐🏻 HI, SALUT, MERHABA! 🖐🏻
How are you doing? Comment allez-vous? Nasılsınız?
Thanks for having a look at my profile!
Here is the pathway we will follow in our lessons!
We will start our lessons by learning the most basic skills such as correct pronunciation and simple grammar rules.
We will continue to improve our speaking, listening and grammar levels by learning new informations step by step.
Based on my 13 years of experience, I think that A1 level is a very important period in language learning. When learning any language, beginner level students should learn it in the correct order and important details should be explained well by practising previous ones. Students at more advanced levels, such as A2, B1 or above, also need to practice their skills at the previous level thoroughly to improve their language skills. I try to provide good teaching by paying attention to these important points in my lessons. I keep our lessons' notes in a word file. After our lessons, I send you back all the additional notes and exercises that we covered in our lesson as a Word file.
