Improve Your English With An Individual English Training

Àpd 76.77 C$ /h

In this course we will begin with an intake interview in which I assess your level and discuss your needs. Following this, I will develop a course to meet your aims.

Everybody's wishes are different. You may want to develop your fluency, broaden your vocabulary, or work on your grammar. Or perhaps you would like to improve your pronunciation or writing skills. It could be a combination of these.

As a highly qualified and vastly experienced teacher I have the necessary skills to be able to draw up a course and find the appropriate resources to aid your progress.

During the course you will get the practice, feedback and guidance needed to improve your English level. At the end of each lesson I will give you homework so that you can continue your practice between sessions and at the beginning of the next lesson I will check your homework with you to make sure you are keeping on track!

Ready when you are! 😊

Informations supplémentaires

It's often a good idea to bring a pen and notebook to the lessons. For online lessons you could also bring a camera.

Présentation

Hello. My name is Mike. I am a CELTA-qualified teacher with over 20 years of experience. I also have a BA Degree in Teaching English and an MA in Advanced Theatre Practices from the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. I am based in Amsterdam and can offer a variety of tailor-made courses to suit your needs, working either face-to-face or online.

I am originally from England and moved to the Netherlands in 1993. For the last twenty years I have worked in both education and the commercial sector, providing countless different courses to hundreds of students of all ages and at all levels. I love teaching because it gives me the opportunity to meet new people and help them achieve their goals. My strength as a teacher is my ability to relate to people, and engage and motivate them in their learning.

My approach to teaching is both student and goal orientated. Student orientated in the sense that I endeavour to nurture a good working relationship based on flexibility, responsiveness and clarity. And goal orientated in that I am aware of the different language sub-skills that need to be mastered in order to reach a particular goal. My background in drama allows me to effectively use role-play techniques to help students improve their communication skills.

Amongst the businesses and institutions I have worked for are:

ITV, Johnson & Johnson, FNV, Schiphol Groep, Bosch, TNT, Artis Zoo, Intel, Damen Shiprepair, Amsterdam UMC (hospital), ING, ABN AMRO, Rabobank, PropertyView, AFC Ajax, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Deltion College, Alberdingk Thijm Scholen, ROC Westpoort, CERAN Summer School
and Absolutely English Summer School.

I have helped students improve their proficiency in the following areas:

Fluency Development, Email Writing, Report Writing, Copy for Website and Promotion, Negotiating Skills, Business Meetings, Telephoning, Giving Presentations, Grammatical Accuracy, General and Business Vocabulary Development, Pronunciation, Reading and Listening Skills, Academic Writing, Cambridge Exam Preparation (KET, PET, FCE, CAE, CPE, IELTS, Business Vantage, Business Higher).

Would you like to pass a Cambridge English Exam? I will assess your level, help you set up a suitable exam date, and work with you to help you achieve your aim.

Cambridge exams test your ability in using the four language skills: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. During this course you will improve your proficiency in each of these areas and you will also develop test strategies to help you pass each part of the exam.

In addition, you will broaden your vocabulary and improve your grammar, and throughout the course you will receive feedback, guidance and further practice on your speaking and writing.

In between lessons you will be provided with self study materials to keep your progress going!

I have a lot of experience in helping students successfully prepare for Cambridge exams at all levels, from Starter (pre-A1) to Proficiency (C2). Ready when you are! 😊

Hey there! Get ready to jump into the world of Italian with me – Roberta- your go-to person for Italian language (yes, including hand gestures!)

I have a background in diplomacy and international relations but a deep love for communications and languages.
My classes are tailored to your needs.
We do an assessment during the first chat and then we choose together the right method: classes with a mix of audio, and video lessons and or just a lot of conversation covering phrases, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. And guess what? It's not just learning; if you come to my house it's a blast through Italian food too! :)

By the end, you'll be rocking phrases like "Supercalifragilistichespiralidoso" and tossing around Italian words like a pro.
🎉 Ci vediamo presto!

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 am a professional teacher with 6 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! :-)

Interactive courses in total immersion or with a little help in French.
Normally I give classes that are more conversation-oriented but depending on the level I can also help with learning writing, grammar, etc.

Learning languages are always more fun when involving an interaction based on personal interests! That's why I could take a more conventional approach to teaching but I prefer an interactive engaging type of class. We can start with basic daily life based conversations to delving into more detailed and specific contexts, to a level where any types of topics can be covered. Please message me for further info!◡̈

(I can also teach in either French or English, although I will try to speak only in Korean during the class!)

Being a native Russian and Ukrainian speaker, I have studied at Sciences Po in France and I have now moved to Amsterdam to pursue my studies at UvA. If you are asking yourself why studying with me, just consider that I am fluent in English and French. I am learning Spanish and German. My methods of learning foreign languages are efficient. Thus our lessons together promise to be extremely productive, as my two-year teaching experience shows.

Bonjour,

I'm of mixed French and Polish origins and I've been living in Paris for many years. I hold a PhD degree in French Literature from Sorbonne University and I've been teaching French and English since 2013. During my class, you will learn how to communicate effectively - and in order to speak, you'll need to practice! I have a passion for French culture, literature, music, film and theatre, and I believe that it's through culture and experiencing the language directly in everyday life that you really immerse yourself in a language. I train also for exams and DELF/DALF. Apart from this, I work as a tour guide specialised in French medieval architecture and a week-end trip to Paris (sightseeing included!) can be planned during the course to immerse in French language, cinema, food and beautiful Parisian museums. Practicing French in French boulangeries, restaurants and bookshops in Amsterdam can be planned as well. If you're interested in more than practicing speaking and pronunciation skills, we can alternate the grammar/writing classes (held at home) and conversation classes (held anywhere!). We'll use news, social media, Netflix and much more. À bientôt !
