This class is aimed at anyone looking to increase their English-speaking and listening skills. Depending on the student's interests, the focus will shift from vocabulary expansion and sentence structuring to "accent" reduction. My goal is to be a talking partner with whom you can engage in significant conversations about any topic you are interested in. Whether you are getting ready for a trip or a presentation or if you just want to make sure you do not forget what you already know, practice makes perfect and I want to try to help you achieve your goals.

I will pay attention whenever you are speaking and point out the mistakes (or "funny-sounding" phrases) in a polite manner after you finish speaking. That way I will not cut you off or discourage you from not being afraid of making mistakes (which we all make).

I specialize in tutoring English, French and Greek for beginner and intermediate level. My goal is to keep students challenged by assigning homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports.

The focus of every class is to learn the most by providing the right incentives to students. I believe that it is important to build a relationship that can forge a clear and productive understanding when it comes to teaching.

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.

As a teacher in primary education (free school) I know how important it is for the child to learn to read and write well, so I would like to help by giving extra lessons to children who can use extra support for this. I also provide tutoring and I offer homework help.

Hi! I'm Monika and I come from Poland. I have studied English philology and have a few years experience in tutoring back in Poland. Teaching brings me a lot of joy, I love working with my students and help them to make progress in English language. In my classes I will approach you individually, we will focus on areas which are the most challenging for you, e.g. grammar, pronunciation, speaking, reading, listening, etc. After each lesson my student will receive a homework assignment.

Czesc! Mam na imię Monika i chętnie udzielę korepetycji z języka angielskiego, ponieważ sprawia mi to dużą radość. Studiowałam filologię angielską, dodatkowo mam kilkuletnie doświadczenie w udzielaniu prywatnych lekcji. Do każdego studenta podchodzę indywidualnie, więc skupimy się na najbardziej problematycznych sferach (gramatyka, czytanie, słuchanie itd.)

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.

We'll work together to fully understand each concept before moving forward, ensuring a solid foundation. I simplify complex topics and move at a pace that suits you, helping you build confidence in your abilities.

Hi I am 21 years old and am currently a student at Leiden University doing a bachelor of sciences in environmental sustainability. I completed my A levels in Maths, Physics and Biology with grades A in Maths and Biology. I also did an AS level in Chemistry from the British School in the Netherlands.

I love science and geography and did my primary education in English and got all grade 9s in my science and geography GCSEs and a grade 8 in Maths. I have some prior tutoring experiences as well so I hope I will be able to use it all to help you get your target grades for any exam. I am able to provide lessons in any sciences, geography, English or Maths topics that are at GCSE level or below! I can also help with any subject such as Drama, Food tech or History!

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.

Every student has different goals, so I create lessons based on what you want to learn. Whether you want structured grammar lessons, casual conversation practice, help preparing for travel, or simply someone to talk with in Arabic, I can adapt the lessons to your needs.

I am patient, friendly, and flexible. I believe learning a language should be enjoyable and practical. My goal is to help you feel comfortable speaking Arabic from the very beginning while progressing at your own pace.

Just tell me what you would like to learn, the topics you are interested in, or your language goals, and together we will create lessons that suit you perfectly.

I look forward to helping you learn Egyptian Arabic and discover Egyptian culture!
