English tutoring for beginners and GCSE/ A level students

Van 27.28 € /h

I adore everything about English as a subject. It is intricate, inquisitive and most importantly interpretive. Depending on the placement of words, punctuation and the tone used, one can communicate in so many things by essentially using the same components.

My interest in English manifested through my love for literature, drama and media and as a result I choose to continue studying it all the way through high school and wanting to further informally explore it at university. Whereas, my love for teaching began when I would volunteer to tutor some younger students at school on the off chance and also when I would help out my younger cousins. Throughout this experience, I found the job to be exceptionally rewarding when I was able to become part of the reason why those children were able to bring their grades up. I believe my style of teaching is very oriented around my students and I have a lot of patience and knowledge to pass on for those who are willing to learn.

As far as my qualifications go, I have top grades in GCSE and A level English Literature and language. Therefore, I am incredibly well prepared to teach those who are sitting similar style exams and require trying on how to analyse and discuss complex texts such as Shakespeare. The exam boards that I am most familiar with are Edexcel's 9-1 course and OCR's AS and A level course. However, I am more than capable of working around other exam boards as well. I am also more than happy to take on beginners or those who need some guidance on learning how to speak English and manoeuvring their way to better communication skills and becoming a grammar god.

Over

I have not been a tutor on this platform for a very long time however, I am confident in my skills which I believe to be exceptional marked by a unique ability to connect with and inspire students. Furthermore, I have previously worked as a senior mentor at my school, working to help juniors who were struggling in particular subjects. I am also currently a part-time nanny where a majority of my responsibilities are centred around the child's academic development such as supervision of homework. Both of these jobs have allowed me to work with children aged between 6-12 and successfully monitoring their progress, meticulously planning out their academic goals and finally achieving them.

As a tutor, I possess a deep understanding of the subjects I teach, effortlessly breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible bits of knowledge. Moreover, I am patient, allowing myself to adapt my teaching style to cater to the diverse learning needs of my students. I foster an inclusive and encouraging learning environment, where questions are not only welcome but celebrated. Therefore, I appreciate students who are inquisitive and curious during classes and bring forward a 'ready to learn' attitude.

Through my guidance, students gain not only the subject matter expertise but also the confidence to tackle challenges independently. Your commitment to their success is evident in the tangible improvements seen in their academic performance and self-assurance. I believe my tutoring skills to be truly transformative, empowering my students to reach their fullest potential.

A qualified language coach with 25 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.

I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.

In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).

We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.

My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.

Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.

This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.

I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 25 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.

I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

I like to use different methods to teach French to students. It can be through songs, drama, role play or videos. I also very often use situations close to the student's experience, such as describing places they have been or talking about what they have experienced. At the same time, I teach the grammar rules to the student. I now live in regions where French has been spoken for over 30 years. Because I have learned French myself (and I am still learning other languages), I can easily put myself in a student's shoes. I can teach in French, Dutch, English, German and Russian.

Chevaan:
Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students.

Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11-year-old daughter for the past few months, and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to one's needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

Hello, my name is Lucie and I would be delighted to help you learn English, either from scratch or to improve your knowledge. I love getting my students to speak since I think practice is the secret to learning a language and improving your knowledge. I always structure my classes around real-life themes (how to introduce yourself, how to make an appointment, how to shop, how to go to the doctor, talk at work, etc). We will see grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation together. If you are intermediate, we will also do courses on texts. We will put both grammar and vocabulary into practice. Please note that all my classes are online (Skype or Google Meet).

Hello there!

Do you need help with IB or IGCSE Economics, English or Politics? Are teachers just not enough? Well then, let me help you!

My name is Lauend, a student pursuing a BSc in Political Science. I am an experienced tutor specializing in IB and IGCSE Economics, English, and Politics, with a strong academic background and a student-centred teaching approach.

Having completed both IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate, I understand these curricula from the inside—not just in terms of content, but in how examiners think, how mark schemes are structured, and where students commonly lose marks. This allows me to teach strategically, with a clear focus on exam performance, conceptual understanding, and long-term academic confidence.

I already have hands-on tutoring experience with students at different ability levels, ranging from those aiming to consolidate core knowledge to high-achievers targeting top grades. Each student receives a curated learning plan, adapted to their strengths, weaknesses, pace, and academic goals. I have taught and supported IGCSE and IB DP students at schools such as the Amsterdam International Community School and the Rotterdam International Secondary School.

Through my holistic, tailor-made tutoring for each student, I can help you not only achieve higher marks in IB and IGCSE, but also (and more importantly) understand and apply these subjects in the real world, a useful skill that will become increasingly valuable throughout life.

Whether you’re aiming to boost your grades, sharpen your essays, or finally feel confident walking into exams, I’m here to help make the process clearer, calmer, and more effective.
