English Tutoring (100% personally tailored lessons on verbal fluency, writing, comprehension, etc.)

From 20 € /h

I'm available for hourly sessions where we can practice increasing the fluency, comprehension, speaking, or writing level you're at with the English language.
I'm open to planning and customizing lessons based on your level of ability, but also your general comfort level. We can also work with the materials you bring if that's something you want to do. But I do want to make sure that you're being challenged (or are challenging yourself) enough or in ways that feel meaningful to you!
I'm happy to work with anybody, in any age group, and for any purpose. I'm also a freelance copyeditor, so we can work with texts, essays, speeches, e-mails, forms, etc. I'm very flexible in terms of what we can work on or work with, so just send me a message if you have any particular needs, preferences, or concerns. We'll work something out!

Extra information

It's best if you're able to communicate in English at least to a degree where we're able to communicate on very basic terms. We can establish a starting point from there, and also talk about your objectives or where you'd like to be.

About Me

Tutoring can be a little bit uncomfortable at first, for both tutor and learner alike, because we don't know each other very much and it takes a while to find our bearings also in terms of communication. But I find that this usually goes away very quickly, after which it's fun for me to be able to celebrate the learner's victories with them, whether they're based on receiving a good grade or on having the confidence to use the English language more.

I really appreciate learners who take the time and care to be intentional with their learning process. Asking questions and voicing doubts or challenges is also a positive thing. Depending on how you tend to use the language, the learning can also be very collaborative, which is fun. But I'm really flexible and open-minded so as long as you're benefitting, learning, and finding it meaningful, I'm happy.

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.

Hi, My name is Rami, I am 29 years old, marketing and operations professional from Dubai with experience with many international clients and projects from Dubai Airports, Mcdonald’s, Virgin, Emirates Airlines

And a student at Tilburg university completing my master degree in marketing analytics, I have a lot of experience teaching & practising English in a fun and interactive way for all ages.

I believe learning a foreign language is an art and not math and its a progress varies differently among people, we will discuss your desired goals and your level of proficiency and ill be with you a step by step.

I have the right tools and mindset to help you with your English language goals, being born in a melting bot of nationalities and mastering the English language from scratch gave me a unique ability and knowledge to help me deliver the language for non-native speakers.

Hi,

My name is Cathrine. I have completed my IB diploma at Birkerød Gymnasium. I am currently pursuing my degree in Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence at Tilburg University in the Netherlands.

I am originally from Malaysia but I have been living in Denmark for the past 5 years. However, English is my first language.

I am fluent in speaking, reading, and writing the language. Therefore, during the lesson, I will incorporate tasks and activities involving these 3 aspects. We will also go through basic grammar rules that will be useful for both writing and daily conversations.

I will provide printed worksheets and assignments (included in the fees of the lesson) to be done during the lesson and also as homework. Workbooks may be provided at an additional cost which you can work with on your own at home after the lesson. This is of course highly recommended for your own benefit as practice makes perfect.

In the first meeting, we will discuss further on the preference of workload and what you would like to learn.

For more inquiries, you can contact me and I will do my best to reply as soon as possible.

I'm an exchange student here in Tilburg and I'm planning to stay here for at least a semester. I major in English Language Teaching back in my country, Boğaziçi University (Istanbul). I've been brought up as a bilingual kid, so both English and Turkish feel like my mother tongues.

If you want private English lessons for your kid(s) at any age or any Turkish lessons, I'd be happy to help.
We can have a Zoom chat if you'd first like to have an interview with me and ask me questions about how I teach etc. Contact me!

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.

Are you looking for additional support for your child(ren)?

My mother tongue is French, so I speak without an accent. As a tutor, I will have a conversation with the parent/guardian and the child prior to the tutoring period to gain insight into the need for guidance. Based on that, we can determine what I can help with.

- Tutoring
- Preparation tests, exam
- Homework support

Full of enthusiasm I ensure that the French challenge can also be experienced as positive for your daughter/son!
Any questions?

Sometimes pupils or students find it difficult to be structured about school, or to focus on learning goals. As a personal trainer I help with that. I help with creating structure, setting (realistic) goals. I also help to make a good planning, and to prepare for, for example, tests, exams or presentations. The responsibility always lies with you when it comes to effort. But sometimes working together and thinking together helps to stay focused and motivated.

With a psychology degree, a variety of courses after my education, 25 years of serious work experience (controlling, purchasing, strategic advice, administration, HR), guidance of students/interns and experience with education for adults, I am broadly oriented. I am analytical and like a pragmatic approach. I have experience with high sensitivity.

My analytical skills help me to ask reflective questions that can make you think, for example about how you learn or what motivates you.

My lessons aren’t about boring grammar drills or mechanical exercises. My course is designed so that speaking is always at the center. From the very first class, you’ll feel like you’re practicing Spanish in a real conversation in Madrid.

🔹 Method:

Natural and dynamic conversations, adapted to your level.

Practical grammar and vocabulary corrections on the fly.

Real-life examples: travel, work, culture, and everyday situations.

🔹 Focus:

Building confidence when speaking.

Understanding and listening to different accents and expressions.

Learning without “studying” — but rather living the language.

🔹 Atmosphere:

Professional but friendly.

Fun, relaxed, and with good vibes.

Always tailored to your goals (fluency, travel, work, or pure enjoyment).
