English class with a native speaker / Legal English

From 17 € /h

I am a French and English tutor. I was born and raised in France consequently it is my mother tongue. However, I lived in England for 3 years and therefore I am fluent in English. Additionally, in England I studied law and therefore I have a solid knowledge of legal English that allows me to share my knowledge with my students.

I believe the best way to learn a language and progress is by practicing it first, orally, through formal or informal conversations and then balancing this out with practicing one's writing skills.

My classes are quite dynamic and I am very flexible and can adapt to the student's needs.As I am also fluent in French, the classes can be taught in French as well as in English. I also provide support for any homework or tasks as requested by the student.

Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities.

Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.

I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.

This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies.
It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture.

I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

If your child can use some extra support with, for example, counting, (reading) reading or writing, I would like to offer my help.

I have been giving tutoring to children of different ages for a few years now. I also have a lot of experience as a babysitter and as an au pair, so I'm used to working with children and helping them get ahead and helping them see how much they can actually do!

I'll help you learn English. We'll practice written and spoken English and work on grammar. I'll help you start learning the language from scratch. I'll also help you with the curriculum and homework for school-age children.

I can also help you prepare for both state exams (the Unified State Exam) and international exams, such as IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT (I've experienced passing each of these exams).
Since the written portion of the exams is so important, we'll expand our vocabulary and learn to logically argue your case.

We'll focus on conversational English, discussing various topics, which will also help expand your vocabulary, and watching videos in English and discussing them. I'll help you learn English.

To live and reside in the Netherlands a certain level of Dutch is not only handy but also necessary if you want to have a job. As part of the process to become a Dutch national, you need a basic level of Dutch, being A1 to B2.

I am a certified Dutch teacher with 8 years of teaching experience. Besides teaching Dutch to Dutch high -school students in the years 1- 4 mavo/ havo/ vwo, I also have extensive experience teaching Dutch to expats/ foreigners.
I am therefore familiar with the “inburgeringsexamen” and the NT2 curriculum (Dutch for foreigners) for those who want to reside in the Netherlands.

I am very knowledgeable and teach with passion, creativity and enthousiasm. I love the Dutch language and teaching it to others, as well as interacting with all types of cultures and age ranges.

I offer online or face-to-face English lessons to non-native speakers. I work with the student to identify learning objectives and any areas of weakness and tailor the lesson accordingly. Areas covered during the lesson include, speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar accent reduction.
I currently live in Den Haag, The Netherlands. In addition to private coaching, I also work for an online ESL company delivering English lessons to children across a range of age groups. In addition, I also work as an ESL proofreader and IELTS private tutor here in The Hague. I hold a BA (Hons) degree and have a CELTA qualification. Prior to a career in ESL English teaching, I worked in the UK national press for the Times and Financial Times newspapers. It was there I developed my proofreading and communications skills.
In my spare time, I write articles for magazines and have had feature stories published in The Telegraph magazine, The Daily Mail and a number of health magazines. I have also written two language books. The first, 'I Already Speak Speak French!' is an illustrated book for children that covers the etymology of many English words to their French origin (attached is a sample of it for your interest!). It has been translated for the French market into, 'I Already Speak English!' The second book is called, 'Learn Business English FAST!' which draws on a teaching methodology used for effective, fast learning that I used whilst teaching English for the international company, GoFluent.

I explain the grammar by giving you the rules and examples from everyday life and from pop music.
We will make exercises from your own workbook to see if you understand it and you can learn from mistakes so that you don't make them again on your test.
We will also practice reading texts from old exams because that will be your final exam later on.
Usually the grades of my tutors go up quickly.
I come to the student's home to give tutoring at the table in the afternoon.

As a French student studying in The Netherlands, at Leiden University, I've been able to hear so many different languages in my everyday life. And I love giving some advice to my friends starting, currently learning or simply practicing French. Therefore, giving some French tutoring appears as a really gratifying experience, for both the tutor and the tutored!

French being my first language, the level of my classes can depend on the level of the student: from learning the very first basis of the language to high school-level essay writing, I'd love to share some of my culture and language through my classes.

My classes are open to children, teenagers, and young adults. They can be in English, French or both. Depending on what fits you the best!

Feel free to contact me if you are interested.

English is a language which is growing in In importance and is widely accepted as a key skill to have. As well as this, learning a new language can be one of the most fun activities you can do and I would be really happy to help you with this!
My name is Louis, I am a 23 years old and am a native English speaker. Before The Netherlands, I have lived in the UK for 16+ years; all of my school education has been in the English taught British school system. This has helped clients in particular, with children in a British school here.

I have designed my classes with the aim of building the basic skills required in holding conversations, succeeding in an English speaking environment but also teaching students who have an advanced level but require extra help (often with the technical side, for example the rules surrounding tenses and other grammatical points).

The classes are best performed on a one to one basis but I have taught small group sessions (less than 5) before.
I hope for my lessons to be fun, informative and practical.

Arabic is my mother tongue and I am graduated in English literature. I use the Mastering Arabic methodology from Jane Wightwick and Mahmoud Mahmood Gaafar. This method can fit for multiple purposes, school & homework help, professional or leisure usage of the language.
I can adapt and customize the lessons depending on the need of the student.

💬 Is your English pronunciation holding you back?
• Do people misunderstand you and ask you to repeat yourself?
• Do you notice that people get tired listening to you?
• Do you feel judged before you even finish speaking?

I’m Tom, a native English speaker from the south of England. I've developed my methods from a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics plus many years of teaching (I became a teacher at 22 and now I'm 35 – I'll let you do the maths). My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback.

❗ 45-minute lessons are via Zoom only

I offer one-to-one English accent coaching personalised for your needs and goals. I will help you correctly produce the sounds of English so that you can immediately start speaking with more clarity, confidence, and control – and without feeling awkward or anxious.

Although I take coaching seriously, and I want you to as well, my classes are also light-hearted and warm. People learn best when they’re enjoying themselves and feeling deeply interested, and that is my promise to you. I will correct your mistakes, but I will never shame or embarrass you for making them. My class is a place where people come to feel good and grow confidence.

⭐ English Pronunciation and Accent Coaching / Training / Reduction with a Qualified Expert Native Teacher

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
• Change key vowel and consonant sounds that cause misunderstandings
• Control your rhythm, intonation and pausing
• Build links between your hearing and speech muscles
• Breathe comfortably and strengthen your voice
• Adapt your voice appropriately for different purposes – meetings, interviews, presentations, pitches, conversations, and more

➡️ Fast pronunciation improvements – our main goal at all times

WILL I SOUND 100% NATIVE?
❗Research shows that for most adult speakers, it's just not possible after our teenage years to develop a fully native accent. So, honest accent coaching is not about training you to sound native. Instead, a good coach will train you to be understood by as many people as possible and communicate exactly what you intend. That means fixing problematic sounds and expanding your range of vocal styles by borrowing from voice acting techniques, from sounding authoritative and executive to warm and supportive.

If you do want to sound native, I can still help you – whichever accent you prefer – from the UK, USA, Australia or anywhere else. You might not sound fully native at the end, but you can still make adjustments so that you like the way you sound.

WHAT ARE YOUR METHODS?
I've learned my methods from a double master's degree in Applied Linguistics and English Linguistics plus many years of teaching. My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback.

• I use modern evidence-based methods including speech visualisation software, shadowing and HVPT
• I create my own original training materials tailored to YOUR individual language background, goals, requirements and preferences – I offer a customised course specifically for you, not a one-size-fits-all package
• You’ll start with controlled practice to master new sounds, then move into spontaneous speech so that these skills become part of your everyday speaking habits.

Curious to learn more or not sure if you need coaching? Send me a message and I'll be happy to give you my honest opinion.

I am available to help students from elementary to high school with their homework or exam preparation. I am very comfortable with history and geography, French, English and philosophy, as well as math and biology, but only for elementary and middle school students.
Having graduated high school with highest honors two years ago, I feel perfectly capable of sharing my knowledge and my joy of learning with students who need it. I have already given private tutoring sessions to students in their final two years of middle school and first year of high school, and their motivation grew every day!
I hope I can help you and your children.
