This is the ultimate executive function and study skills coaching program that utilizes Artificial Intelligence as a personalized assistant.

Designed specifically for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including those with challenges in organization, focus, and information processing. This course provides real, measurable tools for academic autonomy.

We move beyond basic homework help. We treat the AI as a co-teacher to manage specific learning barriers:

The AI study buddy: Students learn to use generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) ethically as a powerful organizational assistant. They master using it to summarize dense notes, break down complex science paragraphs into simplified concepts, or structure large projects into manageable steps.

Executive function tool integration: We focus on integrating AI-enabled planning apps and task management systems to assist with time management, scheduling, and project sequencing—skills essential for students with ADHD or organizational difficulties.

Personalized remediation: We leverage generative AI's power to create instant, personalized learning aids—for example, quickly generating visual study guides, mind maps, or specific practice quizzes tailored to the student's current school curriculum and unique learning style.

The Goal: To build confidence, independence, and accountability, allowing the student to navigate their schoolwork more effectively and rely less on parental or teaching support.

Why this program is premium: your investment covers the specialized pedagogical planning required for this complex integration:

It requires extensive preparation to tailor AI prompts and tools to the student's specific SEN profile (e.g., Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADHD).

It includes the creation of detailed progress reports and recommended toolkits for parents, ensuring strategies are consistent at home and school.

My name is Yvette, I am a primary school teacher and educational psychologist and have more than 10 years of experience teaching Dutch abroad.
During an initial consultation, we'll discuss your needs. Why do you want to learn Dutch, and which aspects of the language should receive the most attention? Everyone has different goals and desires, and my lessons are tailored to them. I teach everyone, young and old, who wants to learn Dutch or improve their skills. I believe it's important to structure the lessons so that everyone gets the most out of each hour, while also allowing room for variety and improvisation. My experience as a teacher and educational psychologist has taught me how to quickly put people at ease. Moreover, I've personally experienced what it's like to learn a foreign language (German and English), so I can easily empathize.

Special Education:
During my career I managed an education centre for adults with learning disabilities, which means I am highly experienced in teaching and supporting people with different learning needs and goals.

I built curriculums and teaching resources for those with complex learning and physical challenges, and I am trained to use Makaton, a form of sign language designed to support people with learning disabilities to communicate.

If you are someone with a disability, or a carer of someone looking to develop English or other independent living skills, please get in touch to discuss how I might be able to help you.

Whether you are a beginner trying to grasp the basics or an advanced student looking to perfect your fluency, I am here to help. For younger learners, I provide a patient and supportive environment to tackle homework, prepare for exams (like IELTS or Bac), and build strong foundational skills. For adults, I focus on practical conversation, business English, and grammar refinement.

My methodology is simple:

Interactive Learning: We don't just use textbooks; we use articles, videos, and real-life scenarios.

Focus on Communication: I encourage speaking from day one to build your confidence.

Customized Plans: Every student is unique. We will focus on the areas where you need the most help, whether it's writing essays, pronunciation, or reading comprehension.

Hello! My name is Tyra and I am a native Thai speaker from Thailand. I am passionate about helping students from around the world learn Thai in a simple, practical, and enjoyable way.

My lessons focus mainly on speaking and real-life communication, so you can use Thai confidently in daily situations such as traveling, living in Thailand, communicating with friends, or working with Thai people.

My name is Hanna, and I am happy to meet you here 😊

My credo is to love what I teach and those to whom I teach.

The first class is devoted to identifying your level of Russian language proficiency.

With my students, I work on
1) listening comprehension,
2) correct pronunciation,
3) reading comprehension,
4) expansion of vocabulary,
5) learning grammar,
6) elimination of letter-by-letter reading,
7) mirror writing (N-И, R-Я) (with children).

I am an extreme opponent of cramming and learning something that is not useful to you in everyday life and day-to-day conversations. That is why I always rely on material that is relevant to real life and real communication.

About my lessons:
- creative plans,
- boundless energy,
- friendly atmosphere,
- inspiration,
- my strong belief in your potential.

I will help you to fall in love with Russian and to make progress day by day 😊
