Spanish and English conversation for all skill groups

From 28 € /h

Many people, over time, lose the ability to converse in a second language after being unable to practice for a long time. This also makes them embarassed to take that first step to talk to people who know the language.

By having a space where people can talk with no judgement and encouraging their participation, my lessons allow students to gain confidence and improve their skills in a comfortable environment, discussing topics that they find interesting.

About Me

I am a 24 year old Spanish guy living in the Netherlands.

I grew up in Spain, and attended a British school in Madrid, giving me the chance to learn Spanish and English alongside each other since I was very young.
My family is of Peruvian background, which allowed me to better understand the differences between Spanish from Latinamerica and Spain. Moreover, I did my Undergraduate Degree in Scotland, allowing me to immerse myself even more in the language.

As such, I have a good understanding of what works and what doesn't when engaging natives of both English and Spanish backgrounds, and can help filter what would sound odd to a local, improving grammar and sentence structure use to further polish the student's skill.

My lessons are about fun. There will be no judging, regardless of the skill level, as I hope to make my lessons a space where students can feel safe to make mistakes, and learn from them. Due to the nature of the lessons, the content will vary depending on the interests of every student, in the same way a real conversation would, so you can expect variety and engagement.

All I ask from my students is to try to enjoy the lessons, and not worry too much about sounding like a local from the start: we are here to learn!

Education

I did my Undergraduate Degree at the University of Dundee, in the field of Biomedical Sciences.
I am currently doing a Masters Degree at the University of Maastricht, with a specialization in Regenerative Medicine.

Experience / Qualifications

In terms of English, I have the Cambridge C2 Proficiency Exam with a grade A, plus experience of four years living within the UK (Scotland) doing an Undergraduate Degree.
For Spanish, I grew up in Spain, in a Spanish-speaking family. Having been to a school in Spain, I also know how to move onto more formal styles of speech if required.

Olá pessoal! Want to learn Portuguese? Want to know more about Brazilian culture? Here I am!
My name is Paula and I am from São Paulo, Brazil. I offer Brazilian Portuguese lessons for all who want to learn this beautiful and charming language. My lessons are focused on oral conversation, however we will work on grammar, writing, and vocabulary too. Using text, articles, music, and video. My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. I assign homework every lesson and provide a summary of the previous lesson. Indeed, I am here to help you advance your Portuguese skills in a fun and motivating way.

As a teacher I believe it’s important to focus on the likes of students to help them improve and have a better development. As everything in life learning a language is simpler when you’re dealing with something you like. As part of my experience I taught in schools and students with different profiles and objectives in a language course.

I am an enthusiastic French teacher and, in addition to experience in secondary school, I have years of experience in teaching French face-to-face or in mini groups. My goal is to give students that support so that they understand the material and get good grades again. I base this on the lesson and learning material they provide and supplement this with supporting exercises. I teach students from the age of 11.
For adults, I offer you French courses and lessons, for both business and private purposes, at your pace and as it suits you best in private lessons. Alone or in small groups of a maximum of 4 people with an experienced teacher of FLE, français langue étrangère, you benefit from a small-scale learning environment with a lot of personal attention, intensive supervision and in good alignment with your expectations.
All skills can be practiced, reading, writing, listening, speaking and interacting. I also pay attention to correct pronunciation, so that your listening skills also greatly improve
As aids there are images, videos, texts to listen and read, chansons. The lessons always include a topic from French current affairs or culture.

This lesson is for anyone who would like to learn to speak and / or write (better) English. There is no age for learning and in this multinational world English is the universal language of instruction.

All lessons are personalized according to the wishes of the student (do you want to learn to speak and writing is less important, or is it important for you that you can send professional emails but you need to speak English less often, etc.) and we take into account the time you can / want to spend on it.

Request more information on Apprentus and we will be happy to see how we can start the lessons.

Region: Genk, As, Opglabbeek and surroundings.
Availability in consultation with the customer, can be viewed weekly. There is no obligation to take a package of a fixed number of lessons; progress is evaluated per lesson.

The English language is often used as a mother tongue and as a starting point when you are abroad. Also, many courses, especially at universities, are in English. Mastering and understanding this language is therefore of great importance.

In my tutoring sessions I will personally work with you to improve your English skills. There are also regular consultations and feedback so that I can best adapt my lesson to your needs.

Do you only have trouble with one or two specific skills? No problem. I am also happy to help with that.

We can also write papers together, check letters and find other ways to help you understand it as well as possible.
