English academic writing (one on one tutorial or group)

Van 42 € /h

When you are uncertain about your essay or thesis (for instance the structure, argument or format), the opinion of a reader who is experienced in academic writing will be of great help.

The goals of this class are to train your skills in academic writing in the aspects of text structure, logic, coherence, argument and format, and to improve your essays and theses.

You will be provided the fundamental knowledge in the above-mentioned aspects, followed up with exercises and feedback.

If you have a ready text, I will work on it together with you, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph. In this process, I will ask you questions concerning your text to help you better form your argument, you will be informed of various argument valencies if there is any, and you will receive advice concerning the structure and format of your text.

For essays and theses in the field of linguistics and culture studies, I will also provide feedback and advice on analysis.

Over

I obtained my Ph.D. with distinction, cum laude, from Tilburg University. Now I'm offering English and Chinese lessons at different levels.

Born and raised in China and educated as an English major, I'm fluent in both Chinese and English. Through many years of experience in language teaching, I have mastered the skills and found the fun in exploring the beauty of languages and cultures together with students.

Tailored English courses at all levels, learning with fun (one on one and group)

33 € /h

Language is the window to a culture, and at the same time an integral part of a culture.
The overarching learning goal of my classes is for students to:
a) master English (speaking, reading, listening, writing) at different levels through various teaching activities which engage, challenge and motivate them at corresponding levels,
b) experience a different culture and acquire a different (new) perspective of looking at the world through the language they are learning.

I will provide customized learning materials and handouts, and share various learning resources.

For beginners, you will learn basic grammars and simple daily expressions.
For advanced learners, you will learn intermediate grammars with the purse of gaining the competence to conduct daily conversations and read simple articles.

Learn how to make Chinese dumplings (jiaozi 饺子), buns (baozi 包子), steamed bread (mantou, 馒头)

25 € /h

Strictly speaking, this is not a class, but a sharing of culture.

My intention is to share some typical dishes and food from Northern China, and thereby provide you a bite of Chinese culture.

You can invite friends to participate together, and make the "class" a dumplings party, or food party.

The lessons and / or guidance are tailor-made. It does not matter what age or motivation the student is, during an introductory meeting we get to know each other, determine your level and make a tailor-made plan. After that, the possibilities are endless. From improving grammar to practicing speaking during a call session. We also look together at what the best learning methods are for you.

Together we ensure that your English improves.

Hi future students,

My name is Nayeli and I am from Mexico City. My mother tongue is Spanish but I have experience giving English classes to teenagers and kids. I can help you with learning either of these useful and beautiful languages.

I think learning a new language can be exciting and difficult at the same time. For this reason, I want to focus on the specific goals of each student to learn a new language to help them learn in the best way that suits every individual.

Learning something new should always be fun and that is why my classes will be dynamic, with a lot of exercises to practice, movies, songs and games!

Don ́t hesitate to contact me for any doubts!

English classes aiming to personalize based on individual needs. Complete emphasis on clearing concepts and keeping the base very strong resulting in solid reading, writing, speaking, listening and comprehension skills.

The fun approach to the teaching will make the learner easily learn as well as negate the fear of a foreign language.
With the right level of persistent efforts, English learning can be fun and entertaining.

Modern method of teaching using audio-visual tools.
Bring an open mind and a hearty zeal to learn.

As an experienced teacher of Academic Writing and Business English, and a graduate of Cambridge English, I have a good grasp of what's important when writing and presenting in English. I can provide frameworks and tips up front, and give feedback on written work and recorded presentations as well.

Being Dutch myself and having studied and worked in international classrooms for almost 15 years, I am sensitive to the specifics of the international classrooms in Dutch higher education.

Additionally, I can train you in the art of online presenting, and running online meetings, which is gaining in importance in the post-COVID academic and business environments.

English is the world language, and we all know how important it is to master this language.
During our lessons, we will work together to improve the language, read about British and American culture, and see the differences.
It is not only a question of language but also of knowledge of the culture that is transmitted with the language.

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.
