English is a world language. You can go almost everywhere with English. That is why it is important that you have some command of English and that you can make yourself understood. And that is what I am for, helping people, young or old, to learn English or improve their English. Method: First I make an assessment of aptitude for, and existing knowledge of, English for each student. During teaching I find the following elements important: 1. Creating a friendly and pleasant atmosphere in which the student starts to feel enthusiastic. 2. Discipline. This means that the course leader and the student (s) do what is expected of them. 3. From simple to complicated, tailored to the aptitude and experience of the student (s). 4. Practicing a lot and repeating previous lessons. 5. Structured work. This mainly means working on the grammar of English because grammar gives structure to a language. 6. Regular keys.

💬 A customised English accent coaching / training course with a dedicated native-speaking coach will enhance your communication skills, boost your confidence, and ensure you can be easily understood in English conversations. I help clients identify and fix the issues that cause misunderstandings, helping you cultivate a more natural and relaxed speaking style. In our course, we'll work on building stronger connections between your mind and your speech muscles so that you can make adjustments that help you sound more native. We'll also compare the similarities and differences between your natural accent and your target English accent, so you can pinpoint the sounds that you want to work on. ⭐ Select between Accent Reduction and British English Accent Coaching. 🌍 Accent Reduction identifies and targets the issues that cause misunderstandings in your own specific natural accent. This varies depending on your accent. For Dutch speakers, this usually includes: • the consonants th, p, t, k, s, sh, r, and v • the vowels in "strut" and "foot" •making intonation less flat and more meaningful • relearning the connections between sound and spelling – famously fiendish in English! Accent Reduction is perfect for people who may feel that their accent is part of their identity and may not wish to change it completely but still want to be more understandable to an international audience. 💂 British English Accent Coaching is a step-by-step course that teaches you to sound like a British native speaker. It teaches all of the sounds that makes British English sound unique. This includes: • shifting many vowels towards a more forward placement in the mouth •adopting British intonation patterns for questions, lists and speeches • and of course the distinct British "t" sound (Brits do love their tea, after all). British English Accent Coaching is ideal for people who pride themselves on sounding like native English speakers. WHAT MAKES MY LESSONS STAND OUT? Affordability, quality, and training. Materials are rarely professional or customised. As an independent teacher and trained linguist, I'm committed to providing my clients with a learning experience that's highly effective and tailored just for you. If you want a mix of Accent Reduction and British English, or if you have any special requests, I will adapt the course for your needs. WHO SIGNS UP FOR AN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION COURSE? Professionals from a variety of sectors benefit from pronunciation training, especially those in sales and customer service. Clients include individuals from diverse backgrounds such as bankers, consultants, creatives, therapists, lecturers, performers, estate agents, hosts, broadcasters, corporate trainers, small business owners, international executives, and facilitators. ABOUT ME My name’s Tom and I’m an English teacher from Southeast England, based in the Hague, Netherlands. I teach English learners how to communicate more clearly. I have taught for various schools and agencies in the Netherlands and been frustrated by the lack of high-quality teaching materials and expertise among teachers of Accent Reduction and British English pronunciation. So in 2021 I set up my freelance teaching business to change the situation. I have over 10 years of teaching experience in various countries, and I have a master's degree in Linguistics from Leiden University, with a specialisation in English Linguistics, Phonetics and Speech Processing. I am trained in speech analysis software, a highly effective tool in helping learners not only hear but also visualise their mistakes. In my spare time, I study and learn languages. I can speak Mandarin, Finnish and a smattering of many others. Currently I am learning Japanese and Dutch. I have the technical, academic, and practical skills to help you improve your accent.

I offer personalized English lessons for all age groups. I have 7 years of experience as a tutor. I have a master's degree in English and I work in an American company. For children, I make lessons fun and interactive. I can also help them prepare for exams or competitions. For adults, I can both develop your speaking skills through conversations or focus on business English. I am flexible and helping my students achieve their language goals is my priority. Just let me know your needs and we can work out the plan of your studies!

Do you communicate with clients, colleagues, or people close to you in English? Do you want your pronunciation, expression, and comprehension to feel more natural and relaxed? Are you trying to improve your English, but aren't sure which program and/or level fits you best? Are you interested in learning and practicing in real-world contexts in pursuit of accomplishing your goals? Are you ready to enjoy using English even more while still achieving longer-lasting learning? I'm a TEFL-certified, native English teacher from the United States of America with over ten years of professional experience all around the world supporting learners of all levels to speak more fluently and express themselves more deeply in English. My approach begins with learning more about your specific learning journey, interests, and goals. This is the starting point for me to be able to tailor the feedback, learning materials, and lesson plans according to your language background, levels, and target objectives. I believe that language learning always begins with building upon your capabilities in order to challenge you progressively and create longer lasting learning outcomes. Through the methods and techniques we will use, I have acquired fluency in both Spanish and Dutch; therefore, I can understand, translate, and provide instruction in these languages to support your English learning. As I'm currently earning a second Bachelor's degree in English Language & Culture at Leiden University in the Netherlands, I am learning a great deal more about linguistics, pronunciation, grammar, academic research, writing, and how to facilitate effective communication in English. I'm specifically focused on English education through applied linguistics, language acquisition and performance methodologies, such as the use of English as a Lingua Franca amongst native and non-native speakers. I have earned certificates in Teaching English as a Foreign Language(TEFL-320hr) and Hatha Yoga & Meditation Instruction(CYT-200hr). Continuing education has helped me to recognize the enormous importance of individual learning in combination with group work/training and feedback to improve one's practice and performance. I will immediately share appropriate and useful resources as well as feedback for your learning and practice. I can create interactive content during/after training sessions (audio, visual, literary) as requested to give you a competitive advantage beyond the context of the lessons for your own self-study as well. Please contact me for more detailed descriptions of training sessions, levels, or anything else related to the lessons I have on Apprentus (including Hatha Yoga & Meditation). I’m very grateful to pursue this life path and share in the creation of cooperative practice and learning environments with fellow students!

I like to pay attention not only to the language, but also to my experiences with the Spanish culture.

I am an Italian native speaker with a bachelor in Italian Literature and Linguistics. In Italy, I usually teach English to high school students​, or adults who want to improve their skills with this language. Usually, I tend to use a non-academic approach, by focusing on the student's interests and make him/her applying the language to their everyday life, instead of simply learning the grammar rules by heart. In my opinion, learning a new language should be fun and easy, nothing too stressful. What you will get from is a new positive and funny way to learn a foreign language such as Italian or English.

Hello! My name is Leonor and I am a Law Student from Portugal. In the last few months, I worked as an English Teacher in a Refugee Camp and Greece and before that I worked as a Portuguese and English tutor to both middle school and high school students. I had a 8.5/9 IELTS score and have lived abroad for several years, so English is a language I'm really comfortable in speaking. I love creating worksheets and powerpoints. Furthermore, I love summarizing the topics I'm teaching in the end of each lesson and making sure the students never leave class with questions. Creating a comfortable environment for the students to make mistakes is something I consider really important. I would love to teach you Portuguese and English, so you can improve your legal, writing and conversational skills in both languages!

My name is Julia, I'm 25, I'm originally from the south of Spain but I lived in Madrid for the last 7 years, where I studied and worked. I am a lawyer and I am currently living in Leiden, where I study a Master's in Public International Law. I have very extensive previous teaching experience, both teaching English and Spanish to non-Spanish speakers. During the year 2019-2020, I lived in the United States and I worked as a Spanish Teaching Assistant for university students at Skidmore College (NY). In that context, I prepared classes for big groups, as well as private tutoring sessions for students of all kinds of levels. I also have experience working with kids, and I worked as a language teacher in India for a primary school for two months in the summer some years ago.

Tutoring for high school students of all levels. I am a 3rd year student myself, with a VWO diploma. I can tutor in a variety of subjects. History, geography and English are three subjects I can tutor in, but I can also teach philosophy, Dutch and economics.

English is a powerful tool in today's interconnected world. Coming from a country where English is predominantly spoken, I understand how important it can be to be able not just to write but also converse in English. I am an American citizen with a strong English education background. I love teaching and have worked as a teaching assistant during my undergraduate studies. I love working with people, especially students, and I hope to use my English prowess to help others! Show quoted text
