Improve your English! Classes for Conversation, Reading/Writing, Professional Writing

Van 36 € /h

Polish your English language skills with a native speaker and certified teacher of English as a Foreign Language! I've tutored beginners, intermediate learners, and advanced speakers; edited resumes and conference presentations; and helped improve written and spoken communications.

My approach is tailored to the needs of the student, whether it's gearing up for a test or exam, practicing conversation for business purposes, reviewing the finer points of grammar and pronunciation, or exploring and explaining idioms.

About me: I'm an American now living outside of Hilversum. I have degrees in architecture and planning, but language has always been a passion of mine. I speak French, some Spanish and German, and am now learning Dutch. During the pandemic, I became a certified English teacher, and I'm now putting my skills to use doing something I truly enjoy.

My goal is to provide enjoyable learning experiences to my students. I strive to provide an environment which cultivates a culture of confidence, mutual respect, promotion of diversity and equal opportunities. I believe that every student learns in a different way. Therefore I practise a learner-centred approach where my students are strongly encouraged to participate actively in their own learning process.

I specialise in English (British & American) tuition for native and non-native speakers of all ages, and have experience working with:
• young children learning English for the first time
• primary- and secondary-school students studying the English language and its literatures
• adult professionals and seniors wishing to improve their language skills, or develop pronunciation or presentational skills

I have two degrees in English language and literature (B.A. and Mst) from the University of Oxford, and I am also a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) Diploma program. I've developed a creative approach in my sessions with students that involves applying a student's particular talents and interests (regardless of subject) in the process of language acquisition, along with the simultaneous development of critical skills like close and careful reading, argumentation, written style, and effective communication.

I am versed in the requirements and intricacies of a range of national and international diploma programs. When working with students supplementing an academic syllabus, my goal is always to position them to succeed in the assignments and assessments laid out by a primary instructor.

Hello everyone!

My name is Patricia. I am a bilingual English/Spanish speaker and a certified language teacher. I have been teaching Spanish and English as foreign languages since 2004.

I completed my linguistic studies at the National University of Salta and the Institute of English Studies.

I am a committed, responsible, and professional teacher, constantly in training. My patience knows no bounds, and I can find a thousand ways to explain anything if necessary.

This is a specific English course for native Spanish speakers designed to help you maintain basic communication with people in your work, family, and daily life in just a few weeks.

I specialize in designing customized courses for each of my students, taking into account their knowledge, needs, interests, and requirements. In 19 years as a teacher, I have never taught the same course twice. I can compile and produce study materials exclusively for each student. Are you interested in learning American English? Or are you more comfortable with British English? I'd be happy to plan your classes for the language variety that best suits your needs and tastes. Do you have a job interview? Do you live in the Netherlands and your family, colleagues, and friends only speak English? Do you need to converse with your children's teachers? Don't worry, with my classes, you can do all this and much more in just a few weeks of study.

I'm passionate about languages and communication; teaching is my calling. With me, grammar will never be a problem. I can even promise you that you'll enjoy it and have fun!

I look forward to your message :)

Are you looking for a qualified native English teacher (British) with extensive teaching and business experience? If so, I would love to help you!

I have a very simple teaching philosophy. Every single lesson must be challenging, rewarding, and fun – as the best way to learn is with a smile on your face. I adapt our lessons together to your unique needs and goals, including:

• improving your accent and pronunciation;
• helping you avoid steenkool English and typical ‘Dunglish’ words;
• broadening your vocabulary; and
• perfecting your use of tenses.

Most important of all, I can help improve your confidence, which is the key to learning any language.

A speciality of mine is Business English, so I can also help with everything from preparing for an interview or speaking in meetings, to giving a presentation.

While my classes are 100% in English, I can also speak Dutch and Spanish. This gives me a real insight as to why students make certain mistakes, and how to best avoid them.

My name is Olena and I am currently in my final year (VWO) of my International Baccalaureate school. I am taking higher level English Language and Literature, am fully bilingual and a native English speaker.

I am available as an English tutor for children from primary school to the second year of secondary school (according to the Dutch year level system). Is your child looking for extra help with English or does your child want to prepare for secondary school? Would your child like to be more comfortable speaking English, especially if English is not their native language? Then I can certainly help.

To meet the student's specific needs, I will personalize the lessons to be as fun and effective as possible. My goal is to help your child feel comfortable speaking English, both in an academic setting and in casual speech.

I am a TEFL-certified English teacher who is excited to help you achieve all of the goals you have set for yourself on the journey of learning English. I combine elements of traditional methodologies with some less traditional methods and approaches that I have extracted from my own experience with learning, as I am someone who speaks several different languages and am therefore very familiar with this process and what it takes to get better at a new language. I look forward to showing you how simultaneously efficient and fun learning a new language can be.

I offer various types of lessons, fully tailored to your level and learning style. Whether you want to improve your speaking, prepare for an exam, or simply gain more confidence, we'll create a plan together that suits you. Every lesson focuses on practical language use and, above all, speaking a lot.

Study guidance/Tutoring

English doesn't have to be a stumbling block. With a little extra help, you can make much faster progress. In my coaching, I work with students from university (Master's and Bachelor's), universities of applied sciences, intermediate vocational education (MBO), pre-university education (VWO), senior general secondary education (HAVO), and pre-vocational secondary education (VMBO) who face challenges with grammar, reading, listening, writing, and speaking. We address exactly where you struggle—so you truly understand the material and get better grades.

Exam preparation

Prepare for your final English exam (VMBO, HAVO, or VWO) with confidence. Together, we'll practice past exams, discuss common mistakes, and I'll teach you smart strategies to better understand texts and formulate sharper answers. This way, you'll know exactly what to expect and you'll feel confident about your exam.

To speak

Many people know the rules of English quite well, but find it difficult to translate that knowledge into a fluent conversation. In my lessons, you'll practice exactly that. We'll work on pronunciation, sentence structure, and fluency, but above all, on having the courage to speak. With targeted feedback, I'll help you speak English with greater ease and confidence—in any situation.

Pronunciation

Want your English to sound more natural? With a few practical adjustments, you can significantly improve your pronunciation and intonation. In these lessons, you'll learn how to form sounds correctly, use natural rhythm, and avoid typical "Dutch" mistakes. You'll soon notice that your English sounds much more natural.

Grammar

Once you understand how it works, English actually becomes much easier. In my lessons, you'll learn the rules in a comprehensible way and immediately apply them in conversations and exercises. This way, you'll learn not only what's correct, but also why—and that makes all the difference in how natural your English sounds.

Would you like to improve your English, speak more confidently, or simply feel more comfortable using English in everyday situations?
My lessons are personalised to your level, goals and interests. Whether you want to improve your speaking, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, or general communication skills, we will focus on what is most useful for you.
I am currently studying to become an English teacher and gaining practical experience through my teaching internship. I also work in retail, where I communicate with many different people every day. I enjoy understanding how people learn and adapting my approach to make lessons comfortable, engaging and effective.
I believe that making mistakes is an important part of learning a language. My goal is to create a relaxed environment where you can practise English without being afraid of getting things wrong.
In our first lesson, we can discuss your current level, your goals and what you would like to improve. From there, I will adapt the lessons to your needs.
Lessons are suitable for teenagers, students and adults who want to improve their English.

I look forward to helping you become a more confident English speaker!

My lessons focus on making concepts easy to understand through clear explanations, examples, practice and interactive learning. I adapt each session to the student's level and learning style, helping them build confidence, strengthen their fundamentals and enjoy learning rather than simply memorizing.
