Spanish and English conversation for all skill groups

Many people, over time, lose the ability to converse in a second language after being unable to practice for a long time. This also makes them embarassed to take that first step to talk to people who know the language.

By having a space where people can talk with no judgement and encouraging their participation, my lessons allow students to gain confidence and improve their skills in a comfortable environment, discussing topics that they find interesting.

About Me

I am a 24 year old Spanish guy living in the Netherlands.

I grew up in Spain, and attended a British school in Madrid, giving me the chance to learn Spanish and English alongside each other since I was very young.
My family is of Peruvian background, which allowed me to better understand the differences between Spanish from Latinamerica and Spain. Moreover, I did my Undergraduate Degree in Scotland, allowing me to immerse myself even more in the language.

As such, I have a good understanding of what works and what doesn't when engaging natives of both English and Spanish backgrounds, and can help filter what would sound odd to a local, improving grammar and sentence structure use to further polish the student's skill.

My lessons are about fun. There will be no judging, regardless of the skill level, as I hope to make my lessons a space where students can feel safe to make mistakes, and learn from them. Due to the nature of the lessons, the content will vary depending on the interests of every student, in the same way a real conversation would, so you can expect variety and engagement.

All I ask from my students is to try to enjoy the lessons, and not worry too much about sounding like a local from the start: we are here to learn!

Education

I did my Undergraduate Degree at the University of Dundee, in the field of Biomedical Sciences.
I am currently doing a Masters Degree at the University of Maastricht, with a specialization in Regenerative Medicine.

Experience / Qualifications

In terms of English, I have the Cambridge C2 Proficiency Exam with a grade A, plus experience of four years living within the UK (Scotland) doing an Undergraduate Degree.
For Spanish, I grew up in Spain, in a Spanish-speaking family. Having been to a school in Spain, I also know how to move onto more formal styles of speech if required.

SPANISH and ITALIAN lessons, HIGH QUALITY learning, all levels, A-Levels, IB GCSEs, examination preparation...
Hello!!! I would be thrilled to have you for student. We offer Spanish and Italian lessons at a native level and always make sure to keep a high-quality learning. Do you need a last minute lesson to prepare you for an examination? Do you wish to improve your language level rapidly and efficiently? Are you moving soon to Spain or Italy ? Do you need to prepare yourself for an interview? Well, you have chosen the right teacher! :-) I can make you discover the Spanish/Italian culture through the lessons and make sure that you will be able to speak properly Spanish/Italian once in Spain/Italy (or who knows Brazil... ;-) ). * Students taking their IB/ GCSEs/ A-Levels or other exams can be guaranteed to get the top grades (but you also need to do your homework and revise your notes ;-) ). I can also help students at the university in business, economics... * Students who are willing to learn Spanish/Italian for fun, let's do it! I can make the lessons fun for you and we can talk about many subjects. You have got a question? I'm waiting for you to send me a message. No questions? You can directly book your first lesson and I'll do my best to give you your desired time slot. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Spanish lessons as second language, study assistance.
I have a lot of working experience during many years giving courses of the Spanish language at schools, institutions, online and private with students of all ages. After all that years with success and good reviews, I decided last year to start the study for examiner of the Spanish language, and since a few months I also have now my official license to be examiner. Good communication is important for a teacher and I mostly only speak Spanish to my students, even in the beginning. Only when I notice that a student really doesn’t understand where I am talking about, I switch to the local language for a moment.

Tutorials for Econometrics Students, aid for exam preparation including summer vacation
I am a Econometrics and OR 3rd year student in Maastricht. My study requires a good command in English and Mathematics. I can offer private classes in Linear Algebra, Analysis and Probability Theory. In addition to obtaining good grades, I helped fellow students to understand the subjects better. The tutorials can take place in two ways. If you just have a few specific questions you can send them through email and I will offer answers and explanations when we meet. If you need constant help during your studies or for a failed exam I will first determine your level and make a tutorial plan for your study period. In the second case I will always give free trial lesson to see if we will be productive.

Alice
Language lessons in English and/or French learners
Qualified Teacher in English As a Second Language. I have experience with a wide range of levels and ages, most importantly between 8 and 17 years old. Tutoring has provided me a particular insight of teaching English, where I adapt to the client's needs. If the needs is rather to learn day-to-day English or French, I rather practice through games, interactive activities and real-life examples. Most importantly, I priviledge conversation tasks.

Julia

My knowledge of the English language is very large. I obtained the Cambridge English Diploma at C2 level. This is the highest qualification of English achievable in Europe and indicates fluent English communication from a competent English speaker. I also follow an English study, which keeps my knowledge optimal. I am very flexible and can also come to your desired location. I am mainly specialized in supporting high school students in their classes, but I can also help you with learning English as a second language for your self development.

Hi! I am an exchange student in Maastricht, so I would love to teach my native language, spanish. I am from the north of Spain and I study psychology in the UM.

Sheree
YOUR LANGUAGE TUTOR: ENGLISH, GERMAN, and/or FRENCH
My language courses are a fully integrated approach to accommodate all learning styles. The textbooks I select serve as a foundation or "springboard". Supplemented are online videos, quizlets I have tailor-made to the course, and additional online interactive sites and activities. All the aforementioned are designed to equally develop the four disciplines of speaking, listening, reading and writing. The courses can be done in person, online, or a hybrid.

Get Comfortable Speaking English, No Matter the Level
My name is Max and I study Development Studies at the University College in Maastricht. Teaching is a passion of mine and I have experience in teaching English to adults as well as children from the age of 6. I am open to having the lessons online or in-person. I believe an essential part of learning is having faith in oneself and one's abilities, which is why I make an active effort to boost my students' self esteem.

Barbara
Spanish tutoring for young people from the Maastricht region
I can teach at the student's home or online via webcam. I still have my own study plan, so we will arrange the hours privately. My name is Barbara, a student at Maastricht University and a Spanish teacher. Our classes will be very diverse. Being Polish and studying international law at Maastricht University, I only teach in Spanish and possibly in English (I don't speak Dutch). I will be using many different teaching methods; from reading english stories, watching english movies to playing short scenes with me. I have some experience in guiding young children in Poland. I learn Spanish from an early age, I often go to Spain, which also gives me knowledge about the culture of the country. This year I obtained the DELE B2 certificate. Sorry for the many errors in this Dutch description, I used the translator.
