English is a world language. You can go almost everywhere with English. That is why it is important that you have some command of English and that you can make yourself understood. And that is what I am for, helping people, young or old, to learn English or improve their English. Method: First I make an assessment of aptitude for, and existing knowledge of, English for each student. During teaching I find the following elements important: 1. Creating a friendly and pleasant atmosphere in which the student starts to feel enthusiastic. 2. Discipline. This means that the course leader and the student (s) do what is expected of them. 3. From simple to complicated, tailored to the aptitude and experience of the student (s). 4. Practicing a lot and repeating previous lessons. 5. Structured work. This mainly means working on the grammar of English because grammar gives structure to a language. 6. Regular keys.

I have been a teacher for over 30 years, and I gained experience in teaching Polish as a foreign language at the People's University (Volksuniversiteit) in The Hague (Netherlands). Since 2015 I have been teaching Polish to adults from different backgrounds at this university. I am a teacher with language teaching preparation, which means that I am prepared to conduct Polish lessons as a foreign or second language Moreover, children from Polish-Dutch families were or currently are participants in my private and group lessons at a Saturday school in the Netherlands. Given my disciplined, reliable and professional attitude, I am happy to take up any challenge in teaching Polish as a foreign language. I use simple yet effective teaching methods such as a focus on direct contact with the language, natural acquisition of vocabulary and grammar or frequent repetition of language material. During my lessons I mainly use the tools and materials from various publishers. Being a teacher gives me great satisfaction, especially when I see students ambitiously continue their language learning and try to use and expand their knowledge at every interaction with the Polish society.

Hello! My name is Leonor and I am a Law Student from Portugal. In the last few months, I worked as an English Teacher in a Refugee Camp and Greece and before that I worked as a Portuguese and English tutor to both middle school and high school students. I had a 8.5/9 IELTS score and have lived abroad for several years, so English is a language I'm really comfortable in speaking. I love creating worksheets and powerpoints. Furthermore, I love summarizing the topics I'm teaching in the end of each lesson and making sure the students never leave class with questions. Creating a comfortable environment for the students to make mistakes is something I consider really important. I would love to teach you Portuguese and English, so you can improve your legal, writing and conversational skills in both languages!

German, English, and arithmetic/mathematics tutoring at your home/online (primary and secondary education): I can come to a location that suits you best, for example at your home, so that your child can learn in a familiar environment. However, doing the lesson online is also an option! What are we going to do? - We go through the school material together, at a pace that suits you. - I help with homework and prepare your child for tests Where something is not yet clear, I explain it in a patient manner. - For younger children I work with games and songs, for older students with targeted exercises - In language classes, we practice vocabulary, grammar, reading, speaking, and listening, - In arithmetic and mathematics, we practice until it clicks! Who do I teach? Primary school children (groups 3 to 8) and students in the lower years of secondary education (first year to third year). What does a lesson look like? Together, we look at what your child needs and set a goal. Then, we work specifically on the material, with plenty of room for questions and explanations. What else do I do? Please feel free to let me know which method or book your child is using and where they are struggling. I will then prepare the lesson so we can start right away.
