Classes are adapted according to your child's interests and needs. Students are actively engaged in hands-on activities so that they have fun while they learn! I use a multitude of techniques to keep children interested but especially enjoy incorporating science, music, and art.

Pricing:
In an effort to make lessons more affordable for families, I charge the same amount for groups (up to 4) and individuals.

I specialise in English (British & American) tuition for native and non-native speakers of all ages, and have experience working with:
• young children learning English for the first time
• primary- and secondary-school students studying the English language and its literatures
• adult professionals and seniors wishing to improve their language skills, or develop pronunciation or presentational skills

I have two degrees in English language and literature (B.A. and Mst) from the University of Oxford, and I am also a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) Diploma program. I've developed a creative approach in my sessions with students that involves applying a student's particular talents and interests (regardless of subject) in the process of language acquisition, along with the simultaneous development of critical skills like close and careful reading, argumentation, written style, and effective communication.

I am versed in the requirements and intricacies of a range of national and international diploma programs. When working with students supplementing an academic syllabus, my goal is always to position them to succeed in the assignments and assessments laid out by a primary instructor.

Hello everyone!

My name is Patricia. I am a bilingual English/Spanish speaker and a certified language teacher. I have been teaching Spanish and English as foreign languages since 2004.

I completed my linguistic studies at the National University of Salta and the Institute of English Studies.

I am a committed, responsible, and professional teacher, constantly in training. My patience knows no bounds, and I can find a thousand ways to explain anything if necessary.

This is a specific English course for native Spanish speakers designed to help you maintain basic communication with people in your work, family, and daily life in just a few weeks.

I specialize in designing customized courses for each of my students, taking into account their knowledge, needs, interests, and requirements. In 19 years as a teacher, I have never taught the same course twice. I can compile and produce study materials exclusively for each student. Are you interested in learning American English? Or are you more comfortable with British English? I'd be happy to plan your classes for the language variety that best suits your needs and tastes. Do you have a job interview? Do you live in the Netherlands and your family, colleagues, and friends only speak English? Do you need to converse with your children's teachers? Don't worry, with my classes, you can do all this and much more in just a few weeks of study.

I'm passionate about languages and communication; teaching is my calling. With me, grammar will never be a problem. I can even promise you that you'll enjoy it and have fun!

I look forward to your message :)

My name is Olena and I am currently in my final year (VWO) of my International Baccalaureate school. I am taking higher level English Language and Literature, am fully bilingual and a native English speaker.

I am available as an English tutor for children from primary school to the second year of secondary school (according to the Dutch year level system). Is your child looking for extra help with English or does your child want to prepare for secondary school? Would your child like to be more comfortable speaking English, especially if English is not their native language? Then I can certainly help.

To meet the student's specific needs, I will personalize the lessons to be as fun and effective as possible. My goal is to help your child feel comfortable speaking English, both in an academic setting and in casual speech.

I am a native English and Italian speaker, and I have worked as a tutor and language teacher over the past ten years, while also studying History and Cultural Heritage. My experience includes teaching English language courses at different levels, preparing for language exams, conversation practice, as well as text translation and correction. My past customers range from teenage and adult students, to young and older professionals.

As an instructor and teacher, I offer:

• Lessons at all levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
• A multi-faceted approach, which covers: conversation practice, text comprehension, grammar, writing, academic and professional vocabulary.
• Training in Professional/Business English.
• Preparation for language tests: FCE and CAE Cambridge tests, IELTS, SATs.
• Conversation practice (tailored to the needs of the student).
• Text translation and proofreading.

Approach - I always encourage the student to develop a personal connection to the language by exploring personal interests in English. In my lessons, I favour a practical approach (real-life situations) and use texts, videos and conversation to elicit grammar rules and vocabulary. When necessary, the lesson is focused on grammar rules and the correct use of language. This positive approach, along with regular practice, will definitely improve your English and keep it active in the long term.

I am an experienced and certified mathematics tutor specializing in a range of curriculums, including AS and A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE, SATs, Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With a proven track record of guiding students to success in these rigorous exams, I understand the unique challenges each curriculum presents. My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.

Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics. This method not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for advanced problem-solving scenarios. I utilize a variety of teaching methods, from visual aids to interactive exercises, to cater to different learning styles and make the subject more relatable.

In my sessions, I focus on developing effective problem-solving strategies. I guide students through step-by-step processes for tackling various types of mathematical problems, helping them to analyze questions critically and approach solutions systematically. This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications. I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, as this fosters a deeper understanding of the material.

I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused. I believe that learning should be a positive experience, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their concerns and challenges.

Throughout my tutoring career, I have seen firsthand the transformative impact of personalized education. Many of my students have achieved outstanding results, including high grades and scholarships, thanks to the tailored support I provide. I take immense pride in their accomplishments, and my dedication to their success is unwavering.

In addition to my expertise in mathematics, I emphasize the importance of a growth mindset. I encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. This perspective not only helps them in their studies but also equips them with resilience that will serve them well in all areas of life.

If you're looking for expert tutoring that delivers outstanding results, I invite you to book a lesson today. Together, we can embark on a journey toward academic excellence in mathematics. I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential. Don't hesitate to reach out; I am here to support you every step of the way!

I aim to provide students a pleasant learning experience that will meet their needs and help them achieve their true potential. I put emphasis on making the classes as enjoyable as possible and help the student see languages as a way of communicating and expanding one's understanding of culture rather than pure academic knowledge.

I offer various types of lessons, fully tailored to your level and learning style. Whether you want to improve your speaking, prepare for an exam, or simply gain more confidence, we'll create a plan together that suits you. Every lesson focuses on practical language use and, above all, speaking a lot.

Study guidance/Tutoring

English doesn't have to be a stumbling block. With a little extra help, you can make much faster progress. In my coaching, I work with students from university (Master's and Bachelor's), universities of applied sciences, intermediate vocational education (MBO), pre-university education (VWO), senior general secondary education (HAVO), and pre-vocational secondary education (VMBO) who face challenges with grammar, reading, listening, writing, and speaking. We address exactly where you struggle—so you truly understand the material and get better grades.

Exam preparation

Prepare for your final English exam (VMBO, HAVO, or VWO) with confidence. Together, we'll practice past exams, discuss common mistakes, and I'll teach you smart strategies to better understand texts and formulate sharper answers. This way, you'll know exactly what to expect and you'll feel confident about your exam.

To speak

Many people know the rules of English quite well, but find it difficult to translate that knowledge into a fluent conversation. In my lessons, you'll practice exactly that. We'll work on pronunciation, sentence structure, and fluency, but above all, on having the courage to speak. With targeted feedback, I'll help you speak English with greater ease and confidence—in any situation.

Pronunciation

Want your English to sound more natural? With a few practical adjustments, you can significantly improve your pronunciation and intonation. In these lessons, you'll learn how to form sounds correctly, use natural rhythm, and avoid typical "Dutch" mistakes. You'll soon notice that your English sounds much more natural.

Grammar

Once you understand how it works, English actually becomes much easier. In my lessons, you'll learn the rules in a comprehensible way and immediately apply them in conversations and exercises. This way, you'll learn not only what's correct, but also why—and that makes all the difference in how natural your English sounds.

I believe children learn best when they are active participants in their education, not just listeners. My methodology relies on three things:

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL): If your child is learning English as a second language, we will practice it through academic subjects they already study, such as Math, Science, or Geography. This makes language acquisition natural, practical, and highly engaging.

Visual Learning: I use interactive whiteboards, educational games, and colourful slides to keep students focused and excited throughout the 50-minute lesson.

Curriculum Alignment: If your child is struggling with schoolwork, I align our lessons directly with what they are learning in class to boost their grades and classroom confidence.

General English: I design the English course based on your personal needs, interests, and motivations. Based on your profile and existing level of English, the course would focus on a specific combination of grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

English for academic purposes: This course would cover the key aspects of English needed in higher education and academic contexts. In addition to grammar and vocabulary, the course trains the key receptive and productive skills needed in higher education. Receptive skills involve reading and listening to academic texts. Productive skills involve writing and speaking for academic purposes (e.g., research papers, research proposals, essays, presentations, and others).
