ENGLISH, ACADEMIC WRITING, INTERNATIONAL LAW AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, SECURITY

From 36 € /h

Hi there!

My name is Gabriela, and I graduated with a Master of Science from Leiden University four years ago. Since then, I've been working in international organizations and recently joined the private sector; my day-to-day work is mostly focused on keeping people safe and secure by analyzing geopolitical, economic, social, legal and security developments globally.

My area of expertise is in the fields of Criminology, International Relations, International Law and Security Studies. I also provide tutoring in English for academic purposes (including IELTS prep), intensive writing and research methodologies.

I have substantial experience in writing academic research papers on a wide variety of subjects. I am here to help high school students and undergraduates develop their writing and analytical skills and become more confident in their abilities. I am also experienced in teaching English as a second language.

My purpose is to motivate and help students solve problems and come up with solutions on their own. I believe that with the right kind of preparation, no subject can be ‘too difficult’. I like seeing students going the extra mile and overcoming obstacles. My teaching method consists of giving students specific guidelines and directions so that they can engage in a learning process and become efficient problem solvers themselves. I see tutoring as the first step towards progress, but I want my students to develop the skills necessary to become successful learners on their own!

I also provide teaching support for younger students. I have experience working with children aged 7 to 14 years old.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.

Extra information

To make the most out of our classes, I encourage students to send via email any related preparation materials, assignment guidelines etc. a few days prior to the lesson.

About Me

My name is Gabriela, and I was born and raised in Bulgaria. I lived in the Netherlands for five years, where I completed my studies and worked in an international organization afterwards.

I graduated Bachelor of Arts Cum Laude from University College Roosevelt, an international honors college of Utrecht University. I majored in Political Science, International Relations and International Law. However, the interdisciplinary approach of my program allowed me to take courses from different disciplines and thus broaden my academic knowledge and develop my expertise in advanced academic writing and research methodologies.

In 2020, I graduated with a Master of Science in Crisis and Security Management from Leiden University.

I’ve been tutoring with Apprentus for some time now and I must say that giving lessons is one of my favourite activities! I teach part-time mainly because interacting with and providing support to other students has always been a passion of mine, plus I absolutely love how much students can teach you in return!

For over 15 years, I have been helping students and professionals move from understanding English to speaking English with ease, naturalness and confidence.

You understand English... but you struggle with speaking it? That's normal — the problem often comes from the method, not from you.

With a clear and structured approach combined with real-world practice, you progress quickly and finally use English in concrete situations.

▸ MY APPROACH
I combine structured grammar and real conversation so you can speak, think, and react directly in English. You no longer have to choose between understanding and speaking—you do both.

▸ TWO TYPES OF STUDENTS
I primarily work with two types of clients:

• Structured progression
You build a solid foundation (grammar, vocabulary, structure) for work, studies or everyday life.

• Fluidity and ease
You already have a certain level but you want to speak more naturally, gain confidence and be comfortable in real-life situations.

For example: interviews, meetings, presentations, exchanges with international teams.

▸ PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH
With a background in American business school and experience in a professional environment, I help you communicate effectively in English in real-life contexts.

▸ OBJECTIVE
Speak with confidence, fluency, and precision.

If you are serious about your progress and want concrete results, let's begin.
