From 53.59 £ /h
arrow icon
After having lived for years in Italy (Tuscany) and in London for study and work, we are now back in the Netherlands. I have a teaching degree from the University of London and I have more than 10 years of teaching language lessons; all ages and all levels. Whether you want to improve your English reading skills; vacation Italian wants to learn if you want to expand your vocabulary and listening skills; everything is possible. I always fully adapt to the wishes and level of my student. Some learn better with a book; others prefer to do a lot of conversation. Still others like to learn about the culture and customs of a country. With my background in opera singing, I have a broad knowledge of both the language and culture of Italy and I enjoy sharing this knowledge!
The lessons can take place via Skype, in the coffee cafe in Vathorst or possibly at your home if you live in the area.
Hope to see you soon!

About Me
As a little girl I was already in love with Italy; I wanted to learn Italian and become an opera singer. Both have succeeded! I now sing freelance at De Nederlandse Opera and speak Italian fluently. I completed my Masters in 2016 at the Royal Academy of Music in London; this is part of the University of London. Here I also obtained my didactic certificate. During and after my studies I have always given language lessons in recent years; both English, Italian and Dutch. I now have more than 10 years of experience sharing my passion for language and culture. Language of course does not stop with grammar and words stomping! It only becomes really fun if you really learn to communicate with others and also learn about the customs and culture of a country. I have experience in teaching children playfully; but I also taught adults of all levels. It is always a challenge for me to adapt to the wishes of the student and to try to achieve the highest possible level for everyone, in a pleasant and relaxed way.

Singing is a unique yet age-old way to express yourself, to relax; to have fun.

Learn the basic techniques of breathing and voice use, get to know beautiful music (with fun background facts of course) and get started with beautiful arias and songs. Just at your home.

Graduated as a performing and teaching singer with a Masters from the Royal Academy of Music and LRAM teaching certificate, I have the right knowledge to help you discover your voice and develop your technique. We work on posture, breath, musicality and use of voice. In addition to experience as a performing singer, I also gave singing lessons and Italian language lessons for years, in different countries.

Nowadays, English is indispensable in society and is therefore compulsory in school. Would you like to learn English for work or study? Or are you going on holiday to a country where English is spoken? Perhaps your child is struggling with English at school and you want to give him or her extra support. I'd love to help you!

I am bilingual Dutch-English with a lot of speaking and writing experience, speak English daily with my Australian partner and enjoy passing on my knowledge to others. In addition, I have a lot of patience for people who have difficulties with different parts of English. I can offer help with sentence structure, grammar, pronunciation, reading skills and vocabulary practice, in order to give you or your child more certainty and guidance in the language.

With students I focus on the problem points that exist and I use the school method. If, for example, it appears that a solid foundation is still missing, I can jump in and offer support in learning this.

For (young) adults who are not (or no longer) in school, we will mainly focus on vocabulary, correct sentence structure and grammar in the beginners' lessons. However, I also quickly start speaking, reading and listening. With advanced students I focus on, among other things, speaking and listening skills and advanced word use by holding conversations together, watching documentaries and reading books.

For starting students I use the books of "English for Everyone" and expand my lessons myself with extra materials, such as tailor-made exercises.

Nothing else is required, and everything is possible in consultation.

Many English learners are eager to improve their vocabulary. This is good and should be encouraged. Unfortunately, this eagerness is usually driven by a common misconception that having a wide vocabulary translates to fluency. However, this isn't the case as an understanding of sentence structure, plays a greater part in being able to communicate effectively in English.

The ability to structure your sentences correctly entails knowing the different parts of speech and their placement within each sentence.

Every sentence in English includes words that fall into some or all of the different parts of speech and having a thorough grasp of this aspect of the language and how they're ordered (sentence structure), helps confer fluency.

As such, the focus of this class (which is in 3 lessons) will be on the different parts of speech found in the English language and their order within a sentence (Sentence Structure).

There are 9 parts of speech in English. Lesson 1 focuses on Nouns, Prepositions and Verbs in great detail. Lesson 2 deals with Articles, Adverbs and Adjectives in great detail while lesson 3 looks at Articles, Conjunctions and Interjections in great detail also.

The objective of this series of classes is to familiarize students with these concepts.

Please note that I teach a separate class (Part 2) that focuses on Auxiliary and Modal Verbs and it is advisable to complete all lessons under part 1 before proceeding to part 2 taking in order to achieve fluency.

So what should you expect from the class?

As always, my classes follow a specific format. In each class I explain concepts using different methods, provide numerous examples and check for student understanding. I also provide classroom exercises to further cement any newly acquired knowledge.

That's it folks! I look forward to seeing you in my class.
