    English Language and Culture for Global Citizenship

    To meet the socio-political challenges of our globalized 21st-century, you need two things: a) critical thinking and communication in English; c) general 'cultural awareness' of the world's competing ideologies. I will lead you to master both of these essential domains simultaneously, using expertise I have gained in England, Czechia, Peru, and Holland.

    In our first session, we will draw up a tailor-made curriculum for your current goals and interests. For instance, I can quickly clear up the basic context for a difficult language & literature class you are taking. I can teach you the writing and analysis skills needed to excel at top universities in the Humanities or Political Science. And I can help you communicate well with international work partners from Eastern Europe, the Islamic World, or the Americas. Whatever obstacles you're facing, at any stage of your path as a global thinker and citizen, we will tackle them.

    Conversational English for personal or professional development
    Do you communicate with clients, colleagues, or people close to you in English? Do you want your expression and comprehension to feel more natural and relaxed? Are you interested in integrating your personal, professional, and academic experiences with more fluent English expression? Ready to share insights and practical applications to support your learning and accomplish your goals? Supporting and training learners with these types of goals/needs is where my professional experience has been focused for more than a decade. I'm a TEFL-certified, native English teacher with experience and passion for supporting learners of all ages and levels to speak more fluently and express themselves more deeply in pursuit of diverse goals. My approach to language learning begins with analysis of your unique situation through coaching-style questions so we can get to know each other better. This is the starting point for me to be able to tailor the feedback, learning materials, and lesson plans to your abilities and needs. Analyzing this information will help us to set your initial goals, choose techniques for cognizant learning, and leverage deliberate practice principles. performance help create a sustainable environment where your independence and self-actualization may flourish. I believe that language learning starts with building on personal capabilities and innovating through conversation comes much easier on common ground. Through the methods and techniques I will share with you, I have acquired fluency in both Spanish and Dutch; therefore I can also understand, translate, and provide instruction in these languages to support your English learning. As a current student in the B.A. English Language & Culture degree program at Leiden University, I am learning a great deal more about grammatical forms, linguistic elements, figures of speech, and how to facilitate effective communication in English. My specific area of focus is education; particularly through language acquisition research and methodologies, for example, dialogue and conceptual reasoning in English as a Lingua Franca. I have earned certificates in Teaching English as a Foreign Language(TEFL-320hr) and Hatha Yoga & Meditation Instruction(CYT-200hr) in addition to A-level Rhetoric, Literature, Logic, Strategic Management, and Professional Communication courses in the Honors College while earning my business school degrees(B.Sc). These experiences have helped me to recognize the enormous importance of individual learning in combination with group work/training and feedback to improve one's practice and performance. I will immediately share appropriate and useful resources as well as feedback for your learning and practice. I can create interactive content during/after training sessions (audio, visual, literary) as requested to give you a competitive advantage beyond the context of the lessons for your own self-study as well. Please contact me for more detailed descriptions of training sessions, levels, or anything else related to the lessons I have on Apprentus (including Hatha Yoga & Meditation). I’m very grateful to pursue this life path and share in the creation of cooperative practice and learning environments with fellow students!

    Italiaanse leraar met 5 jaar ervaring geeft privéles van de Italiaanse taal. Alle niveau's, van beginner tot ervarend.
    NEDERLANDS Ben je net met het Italiaans begonnen? Of ben je al ervaren en wil je de taal beheersen? Of heb je een Italiaanse partner en wil je graag met hem/haar in het Italiaans kunnen praten? Of nog, heb je een officiele taaltentamen? Ik weet zeker dat ik de juiste leraar voor jou zal zijn. ENGLISH: Are you just starting with Italian and do you want to speed up the process? Are you already experienced and do you want to master the language even better? Or do you have an Italian partner and you would love to be able to speak with them in their language? Or do you perhaps have to pass an official language exam? I am sure I will be the right tutor for you.

I have lived in several countries (Spain, UK, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands) and I have taught language classes to students of all ages in groups and individually. I offer classes in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Catalan. Also German and Swedish for beginners.

    Anna
    Italian Grammar and Literature. English Grammar and conversation
    I am an Italian native speaker with a bachelor in Italian Literature and Linguistics. In Italy, I usually teach English to high school students​, or adults who want to improve their skills with this language. Usually, I tend to use a non-academic approach, by focusing on the student's interests and make him/her applying the language to their everyday life, instead of simply learning the grammar rules by heart. In my opinion, learning a new language should be fun and easy, nothing too stressful. What you will get from is a new positive and funny way to learn a foreign language such as Italian or English.

    Leonor
    Law Student Teaching Portuguese, English or Law to People Excited to Learn
    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!

    Francesca
    Italian, French and English language tutoring and private classes
    Private tutoring classes for young children, teenagers, adults and seniors who would like to: > Learn Italian, French and/or English from scratch > Do homework with the support of a tutor > Improve and perfect their language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading) > Prepare for language certifications such as PET, FIRST, TOEFL, DELF, admission exams... > Practice their skills in fun conversations and/or for special occasions About Francesca: I graduated as a translator and interpreter from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and I lived in different countries where I perfected my accent and pronunciation and I also learnt about the local culture (specifically Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, UK, the US). I love foreign languages and cultures and my goal is to pass this enthusiasm on to my students as they also learn "boring" grammar rules. For me it's all about helping you find a method of language learning that makes it easy for you to remember new words and correct grammar. Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Bartolomeu
    English (ESL) and Portuguese language tutoring for adults
    Although I am a trained philosophy teacher for secondary students, I have shifted my focus to tutoring English and Portuguese language learners. My goal is to provide dynamic classes that allow students to use functional language in real-world ways, but each class can be tailor-made to the individual's needs. I use Cambridge materials for my English classes, in addition to real-world texts and videos, to train students on grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. Student-centered classes are the most beneficial in my opinion, so I focus on having the student speak while also guiding them with the correct language depending on their problem areas.

    Gerard
    Spanish and English classes for students and adults.
    English or Spanish classes based in speaking to improve fluency and vocabulary. You won't need anything else rather than a pen and a paper. We'll talk and I'll teach you how to correctly pronounce, the tenses, false friends and phrasal verbs and anything else you may need in your everyday.

    Maria
    English lessons with experienced and qualified native speaker.
    I am a native English speaker from Ireland currently studying MSc Psychology at Leiden University. I received a grade A1 in my Leaving Certificate English studies and my BA degree includes a specialisation in English. I also have experience teaching English as a second language in both Spain and Zambia. I am available for lessons after lectures and during weekends. The lessons can be held in a location that suits you or via Skype, etc. if necessary. These lessons can be for students of any level who want extra support in English acquisition or improvement. As the student you can choose which areas you would most like to focus on and I can structure the lessons with this in mind. This can include areas such as grammar, conversation, vocabulary, and much more. We can discuss together how best I can help you to improve your language skills based on your needs, for example through help with homework or setting additional homework. If the hours shown do not suit you let me know as my lecture hours vary slightly each week and I may be able to fit you in. If you have any questions at all don't hesitate to message me.

    Interactive Italian Classes with Native Speaker - All Age Groups
    Tired of your italian friends mocking you for your "bad" cooking skills? Bored of using the same old italian phrases while on vacation? Want to give your second-generation kids the chance to fluently communicate with their grandparents? This class is for you, and for whoever fell in love with italian culture and its chaotic people. We will address all language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading) in a relaxed one-to-one environment, while alternating the necessary grammar and vocabulary learning with language games, music and interactive discussions on news. My class will be held in Italian and English, and it will be tailored to the needs of the student. Assignments will be given after every class.
