English for Students, Exam Support and Homework Help

From 26 £ /h

I specialise in teaching English at adult level and for students at school. I have helped many children and teens raise their expected grades in the SAT, GED, GRE and GMAT exams.

I am a creative practitioner, with a dynamic and enthusiastic approach. I ensure my lessons are enjoyable and I use the latest resources to plan challenging and engaging lessons that improve attainment at school.

I track the progress of my students and use effective assessment techniques, to find the learning gaps in my student's knowledge and understanding, and then plan precision lessons that target these. As a result, my students always make accelerated progress and often achieve better than expected results

About Me

Hello, I'm Salma. I am an educationalist, teacher and tutor with over ten years experience tutoring students through school examinations and to academic success.

As an Ofsted-graded 'outstanding' teacher I have lead Literacy and Science teams, helped create in-school curriculums and trained teachers and staff in effective Literacy lessons, behaviour management and creativity in the classroom.

I have tutored many children and teenagers, helping them at different stages of their schooling. From teaching Reading to underachieving year 1 children, to supporting secondary school students in their Math and Science examinations, I bring with me the latest resources in education and techniques to ensure success.

My lessons are always engaging and fun. I challenge my students and push them to expand their knowledge and understanding. Targeting different learning styles, I use a variety of different activities and visual and aural materials to bring the subject to life. I am passionate about developing young learners' love for learning and confidence to achieve.

Improve your pronunciation and oral fluency. Increase your vocabulary. Identify how culture influences your speech. You could learn how to make statements, questions and respond to different settings and situations. I am a qualified CELTA teacher (native speaker) and have all the skills to do this. Get in touch!

After tutoring for over 6 years in the Amsterdam area, I am very familiar with the various school curriculums. Having moved around quite a bit, I understand the stress students undergo adapting to new schooling systems. I enjoy working privately with students to build their confidence. I previously was a primary school teacher of all subjects (Grades 1&2) for a private international school in Dubai. I am familiar with international school curriculum and challenges faced by students when moving to a new country.

I have extensive experience with students of all learning levels. I have been privately tutoring for over 10 years now. English is my first language (I am American). I also have experience tutoring at a higher age (as well as university level). I am an excellent writer, editor, and researcher and work part time in UVA's graduate school in the sociology department. I completed my MSc at UVA and undergraduate at UCLA.

Currently, the majority of my students are primary school students who attend the British school or ISA. However, I teach a large number of international school students or older students. I also tutor many students, of various ages, in the Dutch schooling system. I am very comfortable with international school curriculums, however, I also have a good grasp on the Dutch schooling system. While I teach students of various ages and backgrounds, I would consider myself a specialist in primary school students whose second language is English.

This class aims to equip the student with a hands on knowledge regarding design. Design is not merely trends and style there is a whole concept and working behind it. You will get a hands on grip on research, mood board, pattern, draping, textile and design communication. If needed an advanced course of photoshop can be given to create technicals.

Are you looking for a qualified native English teacher (British) with extensive teaching and business experience? If so, I would love to help you!

I have a very simple teaching philosophy. Every single lesson must be challenging, rewarding, and fun – as the best way to learn is with a smile on your face. I adapt our lessons together to your unique needs and goals, including:

• improving your accent and pronunciation;
• helping you avoid steenkool English and typical ‘Dunglish’ words;
• broadening your vocabulary; and
• perfecting your use of tenses.

Most important of all, I can help improve your confidence, which is the key to learning any language.

A speciality of mine is Business English, so I can also help with everything from preparing for an interview or speaking in meetings, to giving a presentation.

While my classes are 100% in English, I can also speak Dutch and Spanish. This gives me a real insight as to why students make certain mistakes, and how to best avoid them.

Hello everyone. My name is Peter and I have been teaching English in Poland, China, Vietnam and Thailand for the past 8 years. At the moment I am finishing my master at the University of Amsterdam; my major is English education. Over the years of working with students around the world, I have developed my own teaching method based on achievements in neurolinguistics. I have TEFL, BLS and British Council certificates. Before you decide to take this amazing journey with me, make sure you really want to learn and that you have the time for it. There is no teaching method that does not require systematic work, and I really want all my students to succeed; it is a matter of my personal ambition. About the method: In addition to the visual, auditory and kinesthetic elements typical of NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming), I design exercises in a way where we train our memory and intelligence. I only teach in English. Don't be afraid of that. I've done this countless times and Dutch is really not necessary. I only do home visits in Amsterdam West.

If you,
-have an interest in learning English
-require a passable level of English in order to attend a college or to get a job
-want to improve your competency with the English language

then this class is ideal for your needs.
I can cater to teaching any level of English from beginner to advanced. Teaching has always been a passion for me and I'm sure you will see results if you put the work in. I am a native English speaker from Ireland now studying Business in the Netherlands. I am a fully qualified to teach English as a foreign language. I believe that a supportive, safe environment is ideal for learning a language. I teach through a combination of spoken and written work. In my class I like to focus on usable effective spoken skills over written competency but this balance can be adjusted for any student.
All classes will be taught through English

Maths is a subject which is not only applicable in our academics but also in real life. Making kids love this subject is a challenge, especially for parents. It takes a lot of brainpower to master Maths and this can be tough for kids. Some students may find Maths hard to learn. Thus, I presents here a simple and easy way for kids and higher class students to learn Maths, interestingly. The Maths basics here, becomes the solver to solve fundamental arithmetic calculations.

Learning languages are always more fun when involving an interaction based on personal interests! That's why I could take a more conventional approach to teaching but I prefer an interactive engaging type of class. We can start with basic daily life based conversations to delving into more detailed and specific contexts, to a level where any types of topics can be covered.
I would encourage students and myself to only converse in the language that is being taught. But I could still provide explanation and guidance in either Korean or English!
Please message me for further info!◡̈

Are you tired of understanding English but not being able to speak it confidently?
Do you want to work abroad, change countries, or grow your career, but feel your English is holding you back?
Do meetings, emails, or small talk in English still make you nervous?

In my English classes, we focus on real-life and professional English you actually need for speaking, confidence, and clear communication.
With my international business experience for over 9 years, I help you use English naturally for work, travel, and everyday life in a supportive and practical way.
I am also a very chatty friend, so you will practice your speaking a lot.

I cannot wait to talk with you in a common language ! :)
