Whether you want to improve your grammar or practice your conversational skills
I will make a plan that suits you and will guide you to your desired goal!
I have a TEFL certificate and a C2 ability in English.
I can provide extra idioms and vocabulary to improve your ability to speak fluent and natural English and pinpoint weaknesses in your grammar, so that we can work on these together.
We can do this online or at my place in the centre of Brno!
Extra information
Pens and paper for taking notes is recommended.

About Me
I'm a Dutchman living in Brno.
Here, I teach English at the a language institute, furthermore I monitor IELTS and Cambridge exams.

Having migrated from the Netherlands, I've settled in the Czech republic with a vision of teaching languages, music and tasting great food! :)
Armed with a TEFL certificate, a C2 Proficiency level of English, a native ability in Dutch and a knack for improvisational piano playing, I intend to wield these tools in order to help you reach your goals in the way that's best for you!

My lessons are suitable for those with a B1 to C1 level in English!

☼ Specialized lessons for your specific needs:

→ Structured plan following excellent textbooks

→ Free-style conversational lessons with topics of your interest.


☼ I offer to everyone:

→ New vocabulary

→ Great idioms to make you sound more natural and fluent

→ Lessons custom-made for grammar points you want to improve in

→ Corrections during or at the end of each lesson.

→ Homework (if wanted).

→ A summary of each lesson sent to your mail address
Education
I have completed my course at the TEFL Academy, and I have gained my proof of C2 Proficiency, which means my level of English can't be distinguished from that of a native speaker.
Experience / Qualifications
I work as an English teacher at the Učit Brno language institute since July and I do online lessons on Italki. I also oversee exams for IELTS and Cambridge, which means I am very familiar with the structure of the tests and what happens on the test day itself.

Everyone from Beginners to advanced!
Want to learn real casual Japanese from someone who actually uses it?
Whether you’re casually curious or getting ready to go to Japan, I’m here to help — we can meet right here in Brno!

I’m a natural at mixing Japanese while talking in English, so you’ll get used to it in no time!
You can learn Japanese as if you are talking to a friend, or I can also be teacher-like if that’s more comfortable!

If you are more advanced, and want to learn formal/business Japanese, of course! I can guide you the proper etiquette, manners, phrases(敬語), etc...since I have experiences working in 4 star hotels in Tokyo.
If you are curious about other cases, feel free to contact me.

I’m a Japanese university student currently living in Brno.
I spent over 5 years in the U.S., so I can explain things clearly in English (IELTS 7.5), and I’m especially great at explaining how to pronounce and explaining grammar/culture from unique perspectives!
— no confusing grammar talk unless you want it (no worries, I will be flexible!)

If you’re planning to visit or study in Japan, I can help you feel confident before you go:
from ordering food and asking for directions to cultural tips and everyday manners. I will provide you on how to actually survive and have a blast!

If you’re just interested in the language or culture, we can keep it casual and fun — talking about anime, music, trends, or anything else you’re into.

I focus on real-life Japanese — including slang, casual speech, and expressions that textbooks won’t teach you — especially those used by young people.

Lessons are relaxed, flexible, and built around your pace, interests, and schedule.

Let’s make learning Japanese something you look forward to!!
