English for all levels, test preparation and academic writing - Amsterdam - Private lessons

English for all levels, test preparation and academic writing

From 20 € /h

Nowadays a good command of English is useful and often even necessary. We come in contact with the language almost everywhere, in school, on television, the internet, in conversations.

As a native German speaker I once had to learn the language as well and I know how challenging it can be. I already majored in English at school. After school, I went to a language school in the United States in order to prepare for the TOEFL language certificate. Thereafter I started a bachelor program which was held entirely in English. During my studies I learnt a lot about academic writing practices.
Often, the lessons in school focus on grammar and vocabulary failing to to convey a basic understanding of the language. Conversation and writing fall short as well.

I am offering lessons for children and teenagers. My goal is to support their learning experience in an engaging way. We will discuss what you need and how I can help you. Be it a basic introduction, grammar or conversational training. I also offer proofreading.

Lessons can also be taught via Skype.

Special Needs

The classes can be taught both in English only or with Dutch to assist instruction.
I specialise in helping you understand grammar in a way which makes you apply it. That makes me an effective exam trainer (I am also CELTA-certified, apart from having a Dutch 1st grade qualification and experience in state
upper secondary examinations).

Hi! My name is Gian-Piero and I am a young but very experienced English teacher. I have already thaught for 5 years in English schools and I am very happy to say that no student complained about my performance. I construct my lessons depending on the needs of the students, so that they can achieve their goals. Hope to see you soon! :D

-I tutor kids between 6 and 12 with patience, explaining carefully all they do not understand by giving them proper examples and helping them practice a lot.
-The kid will have a homework, that i will check during the following week and explain them if is necessary, what they did wrong in the next session
-After every chapter they will learn, I will give the a test to verify all the information they gained, and if it is needed to study more certain modules.
-The point of the test is helping the kid to get used with the environment of a class test and helping them not to have emotions before an exam.

Since there is no single best method for everyone, I base my approach depending on the student and their goals. Generally, with younger children I use the direct method, only using English and with an audio-lingual approach, so that they get used to the language before seeing it in written form. This kind of teaching in often done through games.
With young adults, who usually have a good base of the language, I do more grammar and vocabulary exercises, as well as practicing conversation and writing skills.
If a student needs to take an English proficiency test (such as IELTS or TOEFL) or wishes to improve their writing skills, there will be a greater focus on grammar, vocabulary and sentence structure.

English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills.

Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid.

In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals.

Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

I have experience teaching all language levels and ages. I am an enthusiastic and patient teacher. I also speak a bit of French and Portuguese. I have a university degree for my English teacher training and a degree to teach Spanish. If you need help with school or want to start conversation classes let me know. I will tailor my class especially to your needs.
