I have a MSc. in Education, and I am currently a PhD candidate at Leiden University within the Humanities Faculty, as part of the Institute for History - International Studies.
My academic activities include developing special courses in order to prepare students for TOEFL, SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT examinations (American standardized tests required to apply to certain universities).
I am also an International Baccalaureate® (IB) and Advanced Placement proctor and tutor for the American School of The Hague.

I have many years of experience teaching English, Spanish, History, Social Studies, Psychology, MS maths and Algebra.

In addition, I have several years of experience with Mindfulness practices within educational settings in order to address procrastination, stress, anxiety, and enhanced cognitive and academic performance.

I specialize in teaching kids and teenagers, TOEFL and SAT preparation. I also teach adults, conversational lessons. I worked at Berlitz for 2 years in Slovakia and became a freelance teacher shortly after.

About me: Third culture kid, grew up bilingual in seven different countries around the world. I also speak French, and can understand Dutch, Russian and Slovak. Attended international schools, familiar with GCES's, A-levels and the IB Diploma
I have a bachelor’s in Political Science and & International Relations from Oxford Brookes University and will soon complete my masters in Culture Organization Management.

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.

I am a professional English teacher with over 8 years experience in various teaching roles. I have experience of teaching all ages from 3 up to 65+ in group classes or 1-on-1. Specific purpose teaching such as public speaking or business English also taught.

I will always make the class exciting, fun and full of laughter. I think people learn better when they are engaged and enjoying themselves. I have a wide variety of teaching materials too as I currently teach online to Chinese schoolchildren for some hours of the day. I am incredibly flexible and will have a conversation with you before the class to see what learning environment will work best for you or your child. Homework can be set too.

I have just come back to Europe after spending 3 years in South Korea as a teacher to children aged 5 - 18. Before that I worked alongside children with learning difficulties for 5 years, as a sports coach and a playground designer too. Come and have a first class and see how great it is! See you soon!

Teacher Henry

Private tutoring classes for young children, teenagers, adults and seniors who would like to:
> Learn Italian, French and/or English from scratch
> Do homework with the support of a tutor
> Improve and perfect their language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading)
> Prepare for language certifications such as PET, FIRST, TOEFL, DELF, admission exams...
> Practice their skills in fun conversations and/or for special occasions

About Francesca: I graduated as a translator and interpreter from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and I lived in different countries where I perfected my accent and pronunciation and I also learnt about the local culture (specifically Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, UK, the US).
I love foreign languages and cultures and my goal is to pass this enthusiasm on to my students as they also learn "boring" grammar rules. For me it's all about helping you find a method of language learning that makes it easy for you to remember new words and correct grammar.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Studying currently at Leiden University College.
I realized that taking the International Baccalaureate Programme (IB) during High School, not only prepared me for university but also equipped me with research and analysis skills, allowing me to be a better professional in the future. Nevertheless, I am aware that this programme is also extremely challenging, and most students, just as I did, need some guidance throughout the process. Here, I may come in to help you.

During IB, some of the subjects I took were:
1) Psychology Standard Level (receiving 6 as my final examination grade)
2) Psychology Extended Essay (receiving A as my final examination grade)
3) English B Higher Level (receiving 7 as my final examination grade)
4) Polish A: Literature Standard Level (receiving 7 as my final examination grade)
4) Mathematics Analysis and Approaches Standard Level (receiving 6 as my final examination grade)
5) Biology Higher Level (receiving 5 as my final examination grade)
6) Theory of Knowledge Final Essay (receiving B as my final examination grade)

I can be a mentor and serve as help for students writing their Internal Assessments in the subjects mentioned above, as well as when writing the Extended Essay in Psychology, or the Theory of Knowledge Essay. I may also tutor, in preparation for the exams, or to explain specific topics from: Psychology, Biology, Polish, English B, or Theory of Knowledge.

I would also like to add that I lived in New Zealand for 6 years, and I am fluent in English.

Please reach out if any further information is needed.

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!

I'm a polyglot & passionate teacher of foreign languages with teaching certificates in all 5 languages and more than 14 years of experience in the classroom and online.

I have lived in several countries (Spain, UK, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands) and I have taught language classes to students of all ages in groups and individually.

I offer classes in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Catalan. Also German and Swedish for beginners.

My name is Xander and I am 19 years old. I was born and grew up in the UK near London. I am fluent and extremally competent in English and I feel I can teach English as well as most school subjects to children and teenagers younger than 16. I can teach between 30mins and an hour depending on the requirements of the student. I can teach maths, english language, geography, history and science. I have some teaching experience both in academics and non-academic. Whilst doing A-Level Biology I taught a student who went on to get an A* and I have also assisted in teaching a sailing class. I am friendly, kind and understanding and I know I can do a good job.

Hola,

My name is Ashley! I've had many experiences tutoring and working with children of different age groups and backgrounds, because I'm especially passionate about helping people overcome their learning barriers and achieve their potential. I am a native English and Chinese speaker, who have also grown up speaking Bahasa Indonesian. I am comfortable teaching Maths up to High School advanced level (depending on the syllabus eg. GCSE, International Baccalaureate), and English and Literature for both second-language and first-language speakers.
Essentially, I am interested to help you according to your needs, whether that is after-school homework, extra classes about a difficult concept, proofreading your essay, or learning a new language. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this a bit further, just reach out!

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!

We will focus on developing communication skills and incorporating a variety of activities to best meet different learning styles and needs. Depending on your level we will also develop your speaking and listening skills to communicate on familiar and general topics and will be able to read and write short texts on everyday subjects.

Writing can be hard work. You know what you want to say, but when you try to write down your ideas, your brain starts to hurt. Sometimes you don't know how to get started, or you get stuck. Perhaps you've toiled away, trying to capture your idea, only to realize your paragraph seems horribly dull.

Most writers wrestle with these issues but learn ways to make the writing process less painful. I can help you pick up a few tricks of the trade, so you too don't have to suffer (as much).

Learn how to take notes, make outlines, give presentations, craft clear sentences, compose focused paragraphs, draft stories and essays, and edit. Next time you are faced with a writing assignment, you’ll know the little steps you need to make for the task to be much more manageable.

Hello there!

Do you need help with IB or IGCSE Economics, English or Politics? Are teachers just not enough? Well then, let me help you!

My name is Lauend, a student pursuing a BSc in Political Science. I am an experienced tutor specializing in IB and IGCSE Economics, English, and Politics, with a strong academic background and a student-centred teaching approach.

Having completed both IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate, I understand these curricula from the inside—not just in terms of content, but in how examiners think, how mark schemes are structured, and where students commonly lose marks. This allows me to teach strategically, with a clear focus on exam performance, conceptual understanding, and long-term academic confidence.

I already have hands-on tutoring experience with students at different ability levels, ranging from those aiming to consolidate core knowledge to high-achievers targeting top grades. Each student receives a curated learning plan, adapted to their strengths, weaknesses, pace, and academic goals. I have taught and supported IGCSE and IB DP students at schools such as the Amsterdam International Community School and the Rotterdam International Secondary School.

Through my holistic, tailor-made tutoring for each student, I can help you not only achieve higher marks in IB and IGCSE, but also (and more importantly) understand and apply these subjects in the real world, a useful skill that will become increasingly valuable throughout life.

Whether you’re aiming to boost your grades, sharpen your essays, or finally feel confident walking into exams, I’m here to help make the process clearer, calmer, and more effective.
