English and Dutch in particular and languages in general are my passion and I am passionate to inspire others to improve their language skills.

I am currently teaching English at a secondary school in Eindhoven.
I have got the NT2 diploma and I can teach Dutch to expats and foreigners.
I come from Vietnam and I would like also to teach Vietnamese to people who want to learn and to know more about Vietnamese language and culture.


Some quotes that I like:
"Do you know what a foreign accent is? It’s a sign of bravery." – Amy Chua"
'A different language is a different vision of life." – Federico Fellini
"Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can; there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did." – Sarah Caldwell

Qualities that I would like to see in my students: commitment and practice.
- Learning a language is like learning a musical instrument. “Commitment is way more important than natural talent"
- Learning a language is like running a marathon. “You don’t wake up one day and think: ‘Dude, I’m totally going to run the marathon of Los Angeles today.’ No, running a marathon or any significant distance requires practice and a healthy lifestyle.”

My qualifications:
- Pre-master of English language and culture, Radboud University, Nijmegen
- Master of English Teaching at University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University, Hanoi
- Master of Development Studies, University of Melbourne, Australia
- NT2 (Dutch as a second languag programme II) diploma
My work experience
- English lessons to secondary students in the Netherlands for 2 years
- English lessons to individuals and classes for about 10 years
- English-Vietnamese translation and interpretation for different INGOs for 7 years


Engels en Nederlands in het bijzonder en talen in het algemeen zijn mijn passie en ik inspireer graag anderen om hun taalvaardigheden te verbeteren.
Ik heb het NT2 diploma en ik kan Nederlandse les geven aan expats en buitenlanders.
Ik kom uit Vietnam en ik zou ook graag Vietnamees willen leren aan mensen die dat willen en meer willen weten over de Vietnamese taal en cultuur.


Eigenschappen die ik graag zou zien bij mijn studenten: INZET en OEFENING.
- Het leren van een taal is als het leren van een muziekinstrument. "Betrokkenheid is veel belangrijker dan natuurlijk talent"
- Het leren van een taal is als het lopen van een marathon. "Je wordt op een dag niet wakker en denkt:‘ Kerel, ik ga vandaag helemaal de marathon van Los Angeles lopen. ’Nee, het lopen van een marathon of een grote afstand vereist oefening en een gezonde levensstijl."

Mijn kwalificaties:
- Pre-master Engelse taal en cultuur, Radboud Universiteit, Nijmegen
- Master of English Teaching aan de Universiteit voor Talen en Internationale Studies, Vietnam Nationale Universiteit, Hanoi
- Master in ontwikkelingsstudies, Universiteit van Melbourne, Australië
- NT2 (Nederlands als tweede taal programma II) diploma

Mijn werkervaring
- Engelse les aan middelbare scholieren in Nederland voor 1 jaar
- Engelse les aan individuen en klassen voor ongeveer 10 jaar
- Engels-Vietnamese vertaling en vertolking voor verschillende INGO's gedurende 7 jaar

Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities.

Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.

I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.
