Over

I have been a teacher since 1996 and I specialise in Special Education and English.
I am missing teaching in a classroom during the pandemic so I looked online to try to find an online learning platform and I was pleased to find Apprentus.
I am a kind, patient, caring and funny (so I'm told) person who can motivate even the most unmotivated students!
I adapt my learning styles for each individual student and have an extremely high success rate in terms of engagement and examination results.
I have taught in mainstream schools, prisons, pupil referral units, special schools and a Psychiatric hospital in Northampton.
I welcome any ability, age and level. I deliver one to one or group lessons.
I am also proficient in Level 3 British Sign Language and I am happy to teach and sign.
I look forward to meeting you very soon!

We all have some kind of creativity that we want to express, but sometimes it's hard to go it alone. This class is for people who want to improve their abilities at writing in English. This includes those who want to write creatively as well as people who need to improve their academic or business writing skills.

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!

Articles, books, columns, film scripts, press releases, radio spots, reviews, TV scripts and simply copywriting with SEO: most of us have tried to squeeze one or more of these types of writing out of the (virtual) pen. However, it is not always easy to deliver good texts. One person has great ideas, but cannot convert them into ink (digital or otherwise); the other is creative, but makes too many spelling mistakes; and a third kind of person is a language Nazi, but fails to come up with fluent, natural-feeling dialogue. The writing course from offers solace.

This way you can not only learn to act, but also get a taste of our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, physical acting, lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, it remains true: the more you follow one particular course, the faster you progress.

Our writing course

Our course covers all possible texts and can be followed both privately and in a small group. Moreover, we mainly teach you what you are interested in. During our first meeting we will discuss your goals in detail, after which we will focus the entire course on what you exactly want and need. All ages and levels are welcome with us, so we welcome you with open arms even if you have no experience at all or especially need tutoring!

About our coach

To be sure: our head coach is at home in all markets. He wrote his first book, the science fantasy Ice, the Lost Planet, when he was 11. The novel was published three years later, which earned Dirk his city's cultural merit prize and items on almost all national TV and radio stations, as well as articles in every leading newspaper and a large number of magazines. Dirk later also became the very first Flemish author whose books he himself had pinned in English were published by American publishers: Fates Worse than Death: Hunter by Vajra Enterprises and Baour, Strands of Death by BlackWyrm Publishing.

In between Dirk became a journalist. He wrote - or still writes - for 'fanzines', magazines, newspapers and websites such as Zita, Skynet, The Fighting Bard, Mandragon, Dreun, Mindview, Keys & Chords, Bello Magazine, De Zondag, Doorgelicht.be, MetalBorn, BeauSense Magazine, PDF'zines, GameJunks, Rpg.net, the Delta Gids, Cerberus, Cerberus Too, Cerberus Food & Lifestyle, Wellness Insight, Care Insight, Move On, Cult of Cool, Cult of Chic and Cult of Design. Thanks to his wide range of interests, he could go just about anywhere to write passionately about his favorite topics, but there is more.

Dirk wrote hundreds of press releases for PR agency Oskaar and later for his own PR agency, Badass PR - mainly for films, television series, the hospitality industry and various charities. He also provides numerous newsletters and social media for his clients.

Dirk has been a coach since he was twenty – when he was still studying psychology at the KUL – and has written several film and short film scripts as an acting teacher and screenwriter. Numerous radio spots have also rolled out of his brain. The most startling assignment, however, came when Modiphius Entertainment – the largest independent producer and distributor of role-playing games in the world – hired him to write the film script and audio play for Achtung! Cthulhu to write. They were so well received that he is currently reading the complete audio series of Achtung! Cthulhu is finishing. In addition, he is busy working on Iron Sky: The Roleplaying Game, which has been delayed considerably due to the fact that the second film was released much later than expected, production problems, the death of one of the two lead writers and the corona crisis. , but will be released next year at the largest role-playing convention in the world, Gen Con in Indianapolis.

About you

During our writing course, it goes without saying that it is not about us, but about you and your writing! Few things we enjoy as much as watching someone progress and live their passions. That is why we often go a step further after class and continue to support you, whatever texts you want to write!

Do you want to learn skills to read texts properly, to understand them and to answer the questions correctly? Then follow this training.
Different texts are discussed every week. When you sign up for this lesson, you will receive the digital lesson materials. During the lesson, the text is read, the reading strategies are discussed and the questions are discussed.
The materials used during this lesson come from the Cito training and the IEP test, so you are well prepared.

The lesson is only given in Dutch. Would you prefer another time. Send me a message and we can look at your preferences.

Does your child need extra attention in one or more subjects? No problem! After being in the classroom for five years, I fully understand that many children benefit more from one-on-one lessons. This can now be given more focused attention.

Because of my experience in front of the class, I know which learning goals have been set for each grade. I can work with your son or daughter in a targeted manner, so that he or she can participate in the lesson with more confidence. I give tutoring and cito training in math, reading (comprehension), spelling, Dutch language & vocabulary.

During my online lessons I use the screen as a digital whiteboard. That way I can visually support the lesson. In addition, I also use materials myself, especially with the young child, to make the lesson meaningful and also fun. The computer offers insanely many possibilities for this.

I am familiar with many different methods, so if I know which methods your child works with, I can give specific attention (for example Mathematics for Mathematics or Steel for Spelling).

Hi! I'm Tanya.
I was born in Italy, but for the last two years of my life I have traveled the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East, traveling and working remotely.
I have lived in Argentina and Guatemala.
I am a professional teacher with 7 years of experience. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.
I have a degree in languages, I am certified in international law and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language, but also how to learn new languages!
I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!
That's because I love learning new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.
My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language.
My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning.
My classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic.
GROUP LESSONS possible!
See you soon! :-)

I try to keep the lessons as personal as possible and prefer to spend some time during the first lesson getting to know each other in a quiet way. This way I ensure that we both feel comfortable. I think honest communication is very important. Do you need a break? Then tell me! You can always ask me questions, even about things that are not directly related to our lesson.

If learning the English language has been a challenge in the past, you have come to the right person. I am incredibly patient and skilled in clear and concise explanations. I will think with you collaboratively on how to build your vocabulary, solidify your sentence structure, and help you feel comfortable in reading, writing, and speaking English.
For students and working professionals I can also provide proof-reading and written English support (e.g. essays, emails)

I grew up in the United states for 20 years with a Dutch parent and have been living in Nederland for three years. Here I am a special education teacher specializing in autism and adhd. My background is in psychology with courses on memory and learning. If it seems like no matter how hard you try the language just doesn't stick, we'll explore new options and work on slowly building up a successful structure for learning.

Everyone learns differently. That's why I teach the way you want. You decide what you want to learn and how, including when your lesson takes place and how long it lasts.

I teach creative writing to anyone who wants it, regardless of age, online or at my home in Velp. I can help you write fiction, nonfiction, poetry, song lyrics or theatre text. I can teach you writing techniques or we can work on a writing project. Whether it's a book, blog, fan fiction or thesis, I can help you. Anything is possible.

I'm a trained writer and teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in education and have taught creative writing, literature, art history, and other subjects at a small secondary school, where I'm also a team member. I write teaching materials that are used at various secondary and higher education schools. I have extensive experience with innovative teaching methods and one-on-one teaching.

If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Besides creative writing, you can also come to me for lessons in music theory, art history and mathematics.

Ik volgde de opleiding voor leerkracht lager onderwijs en ben dus thuis in alle vaardigheden die een leerling in de lagere school onder de knie moet krijgen.

Ik kan wegwijs brengen in taal! Denk dan aan spelling, leren lezen, begrijpend lezen, leren schrijven...
Ik kan ook bijstaan in moeilijke rekensommen, vraagstukken, meetkunde en metend rekenen.
Ook wereldoriëntatie (aardrijkskunde, geschiedenis, natuur, techniek en wetenschap) is een onderdeel van de lagere school waarin ik graag een hulp ben.
Frans, het meest gevreesde vak in de lagere school, beheers ik ook boven het gemiddelde. Dit dankzij een tweetalige papa.

Ik wil ook gerust een hulp zijn bij het voltooien van huiswerk dat niet op tijd en zelfstandig voltooid kan worden.

My name is Yvette, I am a primary school teacher and educational psychologist and have more than 10 years of experience teaching Dutch abroad.
During an initial consultation, we'll discuss your needs. Why do you want to learn Dutch, and which aspects of the language should receive the most attention? Everyone has different goals and desires, and my lessons are tailored to them. I teach everyone, young and old, who wants to learn Dutch or improve their skills. I believe it's important to structure the lessons so that everyone gets the most out of each hour, while also allowing room for variety and improvisation. My experience as a teacher and educational psychologist has taught me how to quickly put people at ease. Moreover, I've personally experienced what it's like to learn a foreign language (German and English), so I can easily empathize.
