I offer an approach to writing that goes beyond the basic technical details. This is because when it comes to writing, I believe the personal is the most important. By talking to you about your experience of writing, I will help you realize your project to its fullest creative potential. Questions about your project will include: How do you plan it? What goes through your head when you sit down to start? What role does re-reading and editing play in your writing process? Opening up this space for exploration will allow you to then insert the appropriate technical details. In addition, if English is a foreign language, my ESL-teaching background should let us find the right language solutions when necessary.

I offer help with: Essays, Manuscripts, Poetry, Non-fiction/Prose, and Marketing Content.

I'm a graduate student of clinical psychology, have studied and tutored at multiple international universities, while on the other hand working with small editing and publication groups in NYC and Berlin, as well as recently putting out my own book of poems.

I'm a Native-Speaking English teacher with over 3 years of experience, this class is specifically for anyone who wants to improve their English speaking skills.

All the lessons are student-customized, which could include: general conversational English, travel language, business meetings, phone handling, presentations, etc...

I'm experienced in preparing lesson plans, developing authentic teaching materials, and communicative classroom activities and also focused on teaching through visuals, games, real materials, TPR activities, and using technology.

In the language schools I worked at, I was specialized in teaching 1-2-1 classes to Upper-Intermediate and Advanced Students, many of my students were interested in improving their Speaking mostly. I prepare my own lesson plans and teaching materials, which I consider as one of the most important stages of teaching.

The effective lesson plans and appropriate teaching materials are the keys to engage the learners in the learning process actively and motive them.

I give homework based on the student level and needs, they will be always challenging but never overwhelming.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Explore Public Speaking through...

Intonation and Melody

When training for a presentation, decide which words and passages deserve extra attention and increase the tone to emphasize these points. If something sounds exaggerated or false, your audience can turn against you.

Volume

A speech is not ordinary conversation, and a presenter can’t convey passion and enthusiasm if the words are delivered softly.

Clarity

Don’t forget to articulate every word, to ensure clarity on your part and understanding on the part of the audience.

Emphasis

Even in the same sentence, emphasizing different words can change the focus of a message. Changing emphasis can alter meaning and/or implication.

Pauses

when pauses are placed in strategic spots in a speech, they can make the difference between a good and an excellent presentation. There are several purposes for which pauses can be used: to give listeners a chance to absorb something that’s just been said; to generate expectations about something that’s going to be said...

Pacing & Tone

If you often get negative feedback about the faster or slower delivery of your speeches, practice delivering a speech sometimes faster and sometimes slower, so you can arrive at a natural pace.

Musst Du in der nächsten Zeit einen Essay, eine Hausarbeit oder gar deine Bachelorarbeit abgeben?
Bist Du unsicher in der Angabe von direkten und indirekten Zitaten?
Brauchst Du Hilfe bei der professionellen Formatierung deines Dokuments?

Ich helfe Dir gerne bei diesen und ähnlichen Problemen bezüglich der Formatierung von Fußnoten und längeren Zitaten und wesentlichen Bestandteilen einer wissenschaftlichen Arbeit wie dem Inhaltsverzeichnis sowie dem Quellen- und Literaturverzeichnis. Am einfachsten lassen sich diese Dinge an einer bereits geschriebenen oder im Schreibprozess befindlichen Arbeit besprechen. Wir können über diese Themen natürlich aber auch gerne sprechen, wenn Du noch am Anfang stehst und Dich einfach schon mal informieren möchtest.

Gerne beantworte ich Dir auch Fragen zur sprachlichen Ebene Deiner Arbeit. Wir können in diesem Zusammenhang gemeinsam nach umgangssprachlichen Formulierungen, missverständlichen Formulierungen und zu langen Satzgebilden Ausschau halten. Voraussetzung hierfür ist natürlich, dass Du bereits etwas geschrieben hast.

Do you want to learn German from a native?

I can teach you German depending on your needs. Wether you want to practice your grammar or speech and conversational skills (or all) is up to you. At first we would determine your level and wishes, from then on I will teach you with my study material and we will practice together. I have build my study material while living abroad in Spain. There I had students from all ages that I thought German to. I always try to incorporate creativity and fun into my lessons. Homework is also a recommended part of the lessons.

The classes can be held in person in Rotterdam or online!

I can fully adapt the course to your preferences. Just let me know your wishes :)

I am looking forward to hearing from you!
Ich freue mich, von dir zu hören!

Do you need to improve your English so that you can participate fluently and confidently in business meetings, presentations, webinars, telephone conversations or interviews? You may be aiming for a job in the EU institutions or other organisations in Brussels. Or you could be working in an international company or studying for a Masters or another qualification...

I have been a qualified, professional English teacher and translator for more than 20 years. My courses enable learners to actively produce the language, repeat useful expressions until they are habitual and correct mistakes until they are removed. Although I am happy to explain and practice grammatical issues, the focus is on effective, correct and appropriate communication by using visual material, videos, interesting topics for discussion and challenging quizzes. As I have advanced knowledge of French, German and Czech, I can particularly appreciate and correct the issues speakers of these languages have in English, but this is also the case for Dutch speakers.

There is also the possibility of specialist English courses in the areas linked to my experience (see below): how the EU works; environmental, energy, regional or agricultural policies; economics.

- Advisor in EU policies and funding for 12 years (regional policy, economic development)
- Director of a regional representation to the EU and member of a management team
- Certificate in TESOL with business
- BA(Honours) in Modern Languages & Modern History, Oxford University
- Post-graduate in Economics, London University
