Teaching English as a Second Language, general communication skills, test preparation

From 17 € /h

English is a language of international communication. It is therefore useful to understand the basics to be able to further build on your skills. I want to help you learn the fundamentals of English and take you to a more advanced level of learning.

We will go over grammar, pronunciation, sentence structure and frequently used vocabulary. I am able to speak both Dutch and English fluently and will be able to help you with translations and identify the areas wherein you are struggling.

About Me

I am currently in my second year doing a Pedagogical study at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. I have tutored for 2 years. I have lived in both the Netherlands and South Africa and am fluent in English and Dutch.

At university we learn how to teach students as well as the psychology behind students and their cognitive behavior. We learn the best teaching methods and techniques for teaching students. I will apply these methods in my tutoring. I have 1 year of teaching experience and will use what I have learned to help you get the marks you deserve.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

The SAT test is taken by high school students to demonstrate to colleges what the prospective student knows and how well they can apply their knowledge. There are three aspects of the test: reading, writing, and math. SAT scores are sent out to your desired colleges and universities as part of the admissions package.

Study your SAT with me and let me help you pass. I come with 5 years of professional experience in SAT prep.
I am well vested with the British and American curriculum and I am very competent. I strive creating trusting relationships with students, parents, and other staff I teach students on full-time and part-time basis from The USA, The Caribbean, The UK, INDIA, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Turkey, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, German, France, Italy and South Africa.
Book a lesson with me. We can start any day any time.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

I help adult learners speak English more fluently, naturally and with confidence.

This course is focused on real communication, not memorisation or complicated grammar rules.
You will practise speaking from the very first lesson and learn how to express your ideas clearly in real-life and professional situations.

This class is ideal if you:

understand English but feel blocked when speaking

translate in your head and lose fluency

need English for work, travel or international communication

My teaching approach is practical and communication-based.
We use real-life situations, guided conversation, simple explanations and active vocabulary practice.

My goal is to help you speak English clearly, naturally and with confidence - not to make you perfect, but effective in real communication.
