After a turbulent career in the media, marketing and mental health care, I am now back to my roots in education.I am very knowledgeable and was an academic success, but I don't just work with HBO or WO students. I also teach classes in primary education, VMBO, MBO, HAVO and VWO. Below you will find an overview of which subjects I teach and at what level. :
PO: Writing, reading, fluency, history, English.
English language and literature: up to and including university thesis supervision
Psychology: up to and including university thesis supervision.
Philosophy: up to and including university thesis supervision
Dutch: up to and including 6VWO
History: up to and including 6VWO.
Reading and writing skills: all levels
Presentation and speaking skills: all levels
Personal development: all levels.
But I have more to offer my pupils than just professional knowledge. I am also educated and experienced in coaching and guidance, so I am not just a teacher, but an expert in personal development. As a therapist I know how to deal with learning or other problems of any kind. So I deliver custom work, for children as well as young people and adults
What does a lesson from me look like? Well, that is always a surprise and never boring! My starting point is coaching, so I always work on a good relationship and developing or strengthening confidence in my own capacities, or Empowerment. Everything else comes after that. A lesson of mine is otherwise varied, with relatively short, but very intensive learning moments, and in between small breaks with some distraction.
This could be a conversation about something else, or a joke, or an anecdote, so that you get the best out of your concentration and the material remains manageable. I also often work with music, or poems, or paintings that are related to the subject matter, then it sticks better and it is just great fun. I am very inventive and original, so with me you are drawn into an adventure every lesson!

If you are still in school: Don't forget to send me your teaching materials, tests, and your results on time before the first time you come to me. That gives me a better idea of the bottlenecks and what you need to solve them and then we can go for it!Location

About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am Lotte, pleasantly insane!That's a joke, but I am quite an exceptional creature, if only because I am a real multi-talent: Social, intellectual or creative, I am a jack of all trades and an all-rounder and my interests are just as multifaceted.
I am curious and have a lifelong hunger for knowledge, so I learn every day and that makes me a happy person. Boredom doesn't appear in my dictionary and besides my job I enjoy singing, dancing, writing poems and songs, doing a lot of research and my equally curious circle of acquaintances. Mostly artists and academics, but also truckers, construction workers and car mechanics, it doesn't matter to me, as long as it's fun.
For others I am a motivator and inspirator par excellence, extremely creative in everything I do, outspoken empathy and involved and my passion and drive to learn things are contagious. Add to that, a sense of reality and a solid personality, the much needed sense of humor, a dose of genuine Amsterdam courage and the picture is ready.
You can be sure of one thing: my students can not only learn a lot from me one by one, but in the meantime also have a lot of fun and discover how fun learning can actually be!
Education

My education is just as versatile as my personality and I have enjoyed it. Actually I am never finished and I still do a lot of research in the most diverse fields and disciplines. I passed my VWO in adult education, with an average of nine and the subjects Dutch, English, French, German, History and Economics I & II. I have studied at various universities, also abroad, in the areas of English Language and Literature (MA, Cum Laude), Literary Studies and Psychoanalytic Psychology (Master's program, in England), (Post) modern Philosophy, Women's Studies, a university certificate NT2, a number of subjects in clinical and developmental psychology at the OU and a diploma in pedagogy for primary education. At home in all markets, except for the exact sciences, although I now also know a lot about modern technology, because I think it's great what is possible now.Experience / Qualifications

French courses - language and literature - for secondary school students, literature students and adults (FLE)The courses are aimed at high school students, literature students, and adults learning French (FLE). Through courses tailored to their needs, learners will consolidate their French skills, either from a strictly linguistic or literary perspective.
As for the language, we will be able to work on different aspects: grammar, conjugation, syntax rules, written and oral expression.
More experienced learners, in rhetoric and at university, will be able to consolidate their skills in written expression and literary analysis.
It is about progressing realistically and at the learner's own pace, and developing methods that allow for long-term improvement.

French private lessons by university graduate in LettersHolder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research
The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.
For help with writing:
The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.
For analyzes of oral literary texts:
In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.
For the corrections of end of studies work:
so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.
Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.
For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.
For adults (FLE):
In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).
The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.
Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Mandarin Through Stories, Culture, and Communication!Learning Mandarin can be joyful, imaginative, and deeply meaningful—for children, teenagers, and adults alike.
In my class, students will not only build a strong foundation in Mandarin Chinese, but also develop an appreciation for Chinese culture, literature, and ways of thinking. Whether we are practicing everyday conversation, exploring a traditional tale, or discussing a Chinese poem, I adapt each lesson to fit the learner’s age, level, and interests.
I bring a background in literary studies and a passion for communication to every session. For younger learners, I create playful, engaging lessons that build confidence and curiosity. For teens and adults, I offer thoughtful, structured guidance that opens the door to both fluency and cultural insight.
Every class is a chance to connect—not only with the language, but with the stories and people behind it.

Trécy
French classes, French literature, DELF/DALF/BACHIBAC preparation and competitive examinationsGood morning! My name is Trécy, I'm French, and I've been living in Madrid for 8 years. I've been a French teacher for 7 years and hold a degree in Spanish Philology from the Sorbonne (Paris) and a Master's in FLE (teaching French as a foreign language).
My method is communicative, meaning I primarily encourage oral communication in my classes, analyzing documents, videos, and audio, but always with the goal of reviewing and studying grammatical structures, conjugation, and, above all, the vocabulary necessary for you to be able to converse in French-speaking environments.
In addition, in class I practice with the students both the oral and written comprehension sections as well as the oral and written production, grammar points, conjugation, conversation... because don't forget that spoken and written French are like two different languages and it is necessary that you know how to speak and write them.
I also offer varied and engaging content to my students so they can learn while having fun with videos, audio clips, role-playing games, real-life situations, debates, and more.
The goal is for you to learn inductively. That is, you will analyze the grammatical structures and verb tenses that appear in the documents studied to derive the rules for these structures. We will study them together and explain them with the goal of later applying them through exercises, activities, dialogues, etc.
In short, you are the driving force and the driving force behind this class! But the most important thing is that you learn and practice while having fun.
In more technical terms, I prepare my students for the French DELF / DALF / EOI tests at levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 and also for the official French BACHIBAC tests for literature and competitive examinations.
You will see in class that I am a teacher committed to my students, serious, dynamic, smiling, motivated, and very attentive to the questions, needs, and doubts of my students.
If you have any questions, please feel free to write to me! :)
