English Classes (Private or Group): General or Cambridge/IELTS Preparation

Van 32.15 $ /h

CELTA-qualified native English teacher with 4 years of experience teaching kids, teens, students, and adults from all backgrounds. I'm also a journalist and research masters graduate with a lot of writing and editorial experience. I've taught general English, exam preparation (Cambridge, IELTS) and academic English in the UK, Spain, and Amsterdam.

I'm young, smart and casual – I prefer informal classes with a lot of fun activities, videos, and popular culture. But I'm also a specialist in exam preparation, high-level writing, and academic skills. I can help most with writing at all levels!

I offer structured 1-on-1 classes tailored to the student's needs, more informal conversation classes, group classes (up to 6), or proofing and editing services – let me know if you need help with cover letters, applications, university coursework or writing of any kind!

Rates vary with type and class size (groups and conversation classes are cheaper than structured 1-on-1). The minimum price shown is for such basic conversation classes – more structure and preparation of materials will cost more.

CELTA-qualified native English teacher with 2+ years experience teaching kids, teens, students and adults from all backgrounds. I'm also a journalist and rMA graduate (Cultural Analysis) with a lot of writing and editorial experience. Specialised in exam preparation (IELTS, Cambridge) and academic English, but have also taught general English in the UK, Spain and Amsterdam.

I'm young, smart and casual – I prefer informal classes with a lot of fun activities, video and popular culture. But I'm also highly experienced training students for exams, and teaching high level writing and academic skills. I can help most with writing at all levels!

I studied Literature and Cultural Analysis, so my passion for language comes from a love of books, films, music and television. This means that not only can I be particularly helpful to people writing academically (especially about culture), but also that I love to use popular culture in my classes.

Academic English Writing Support and Editing: Classes or One-off Services

61.92 $ /h

Struggling to write academic texts as part of your studies or research career? Need help improving your essay, presentation script or thesis? Or do you simply want to boost your writing skills?

I'm a teacher of English as a second language (with 11 years' experience), a professional editor/proofreader of academic writing, and a graduate from a research masters degree with a humanities background. I know how to build and perfect strong academic texts in all fields, and also have a passion for supporting thinkers to communicate their ideas as best as possible.

During our tutorials and in my written feedback, I can improve your texts, but also your writing skills. Many other editing services will fix your writing, but won't explain how you can do this yourself. The goal here is to help you to not need someone like me any more! However, I am also happy to provide more straightforward editing, proofreading or formatting services. So it's possible to book one service or a series of support classes – for just you or for a small group, as you prefer.

Looking forward to helping you present your ideas!

A qualified language coach with 25 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.

I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.

In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).

We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.

My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.

Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.

This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.

I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 25 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.

I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

I am offering English lessons to students of all ages and levels as part of school, exam preparation, or just out of interest in vocabulary, grammar, and/or pronunciation. My experience has been mostly with children individually or in group lessons learning English as a second language of ages between 7 and 17. My aim is to help students establish a goal and help them along the path of reaching that goal, with clear progress milestones. I speak English at native level but I can also teach in Dutch depending on your needs. I have an English-spoken Bachelor's Degree in Politics and Law, having received an A on my International Human Rights Law thesis, a 1560/1600 on my SAT and 5/5 in AP English Language. I am also happy to do exam-specific tutoring.

I offer English lessons focused on reading, writing, and speaking skills, immersion in the culture and history of the language and English-speaking peoples, and I use methods tailored to each student to ensure the fastest and most lasting progress. To achieve this, I utilize a variety of resources: traditional exercises (grammar, spelling), oral and audio exercises for pronunciation and comprehension, music and games, educational videos, and more.
I attach great importance to writing by hand with a pen and not just typing on a computer, as well as to non-traditional learning methods (films, music with lyrics, games) because this engages different parts of the brain more deeply and makes it easier to learn and retain information.
I guarantee personalized learning methods and support for each student, as well as a significant improvement in level in less time than would be required via traditional platforms.

As a third-year education student, passionate about pedagogy and student support, I offer tutoring in English and Dutch.

Patient, attentive, and caring, I always give my best to help students progress in a trusting and non-judgmental environment. My goal is for each student to understand the material, gain confidence, and develop effective study methods.

To best support my students, I use a variety of teaching methods, including learning through play, which makes lessons more engaging and dynamic. My teaching background has given me the necessary skills to adapt to each student's level, pace, and needs.

I primarily base my approach on the material covered in class to help students achieve the objectives set by their teachers. Together, we review difficult concepts, do exercises, and I also provide methodological and organizational tips to foster independence.

My courses are aimed at students from 3rd grade to 3rd grade, as well as older students who wish to review and consolidate their language foundations.

In my tutoring sessions in French, Dutch, and English, I focus on improving grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, so that your language skills grow naturally and confidently. Whether you struggle with reading and understanding texts, writing correct sentences, or speaking in everyday situations, my lessons are fully tailored to your level and personal learning goals.

For language exams, school assignments, or professional purposes, I help you develop strategies to learn and perform with confidence and efficiency.

An important part of my approach is personal guidance and feedback. I pay attention to your specific challenges and strengths, and tailor the exercises accordingly. As a result, you not only learn faster but also retain more knowledge in the long term.

In addition, I focus on the joy of learning, because motivation and curiosity are essential for making progress. Together, we work on increasing your confidence in using the language, so that speaking, writing, reading, and listening feel increasingly easier and more natural.
