Fide Master teaching pupils of any age or skill level

From 31.26 £ /h

Chess is a fun game to play and it's a helpful exercise for the brain. Besides, the chess world is a place with wonderful and peculiar people. When teaching, I probably have all the answers for your questions - hopefully. My approach is rather casual; if you really want to have a drill instructor, go solve puzzles online!

Lekker gezellige Dutch lessons for expats with stroopwafels and grammar!

31.26 £ /h

My approach to teaching is to make things fun. In that emotional state learning is easiest. Of course I have my Epic Grammar Trilogy, but we'll focus on speaking and pronunciation first. The dutch G is my favourite letter to pronounce; hopefully you'll sound like an espresso machine too in the foreseeable future!

Guitar addict patiently guiding you fom first note to first song!

25.9 £ /h

Teaching songs you don't really like is a no-go for me. I'll help you figure out which 'classics' are there to practice on and I'll give advice about technique and timing etc.. Also, if you're really curious, I can teach you some music theory. My general goal is to get you hooked to playing. When bored, grab your guitar, not your phone!
