Fun Spanish lessons for kids and adults with songs, cartoons and movies

From 17 £ /h

Hello, my name is Kateryna. I will be glad to become your Spanish teacher. I also speak and can teach Ukrainian, Russian, English and Dutch :) I like to learn new things, especially languages. And also to share knowledge and study methods. I write poems and prose, draw abstractions. I believe in the perfection of the world and a bright future.

I have 3 years of experience as a teacher:
1 year of experience teaching Spanish online;
2 years of experience in private online English lessons;
7 months of offline English language teaching experience for Ukrainian refugees in the Netherlands.

Interesting and fun Spanish lessons for children and adults who remain children at heart.

We watch cartoons, listen to songs, read poetry and prose. We analyze what is happening there, we speak out loud a lot, put pronunciation, do interesting exercises. We also sing a lot - because this is the best way to learn a new language.

I also arrange a practice with a native Ecuadorian. I myself lived in Ecuador and Spain for a long time, and I practice using the language with native speakers every day.

A qualified language coach with 25 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.

I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.

In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).

We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.

My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.

Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.

This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.

I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 25 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.

I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

I present to you my Spanish lessons which are accessible to all, simple, effective and fun.

Work on pronunciation, verbs, tenses in writing as well as orally.

Learning an idiom is not just words, it's understanding a whole way of thinking, and an art of expressing one's thoughts in order to refine these relationships through conversation, in a language that is not there. OUR .

Hoping to transmit to you my passion that I cultivate for this language.

Thanking you for your interest
Distinguished greetings.

See you soon
Jason

I am a TEFL-certified English teacher who is excited to help you achieve all of the goals you have set for yourself on the journey of learning English. I combine elements of traditional methodologies with some less traditional methods and approaches that I have extracted from my own experience with learning, as I am someone who speaks several different languages and am therefore very familiar with this process and what it takes to get better at a new language. I look forward to showing you how simultaneously efficient and fun learning a new language can be.

Welcome to my profile!

The most of them wanted to learn how to speak near to native for their different desires and I tailored the classes based on their requested topics!

In my classes, I use audios, videos, stories and memory telling that help students have some models and structures for speaking. After listening, it is your turn to speak. In this step, I help you to make sentences and speak with confident. If it would be required, I edit your grammatical and pronunciation errors and again I will give time to re-make sentences in true style. Moreover, during the classes, based on your needs, I teach grammar structures, vocabularies, collocations, time tense, paraphrasing, and academic writing. Therefore, with this method I facilitate your English learning and I help you to improve your language skills respectfully, listening, speaking, writing and reading.

I give personal and practical Dutch lessons to adults at levels A0–A2. The lessons are suitable for people starting from scratch, but also for students who already understand some Dutch and want to gain more confidence in speaking and understanding it.

During the lessons, we work on speaking, listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading, and basic grammar. We immediately practice new words and grammatical structures in recognizable situations from daily life and work. We also listen to short dialogues and practice how Dutch sounds in real conversations.

For example, we practice:

Introduce yourself and talk about your family;
make appointments;
grocery shopping and understanding prices;
time, days and months;
housing and transport;
health and contact with the general practitioner;
conversations with colleagues and customers;
simple WhatsApp messages and emails.

No two students are the same. That is why I tailor the lessons to your level, pace, profession, and personal goals. In addition to structured lesson material, I use extra exercises and assignments that align with situations where you need Dutch.

You receive clear explanations, plenty of repetition, interactive exercises, and personalized homework with feedback.

My goal is not only for you to learn and understand Dutch, but also to dare to use it increasingly independently and with more confidence in the Netherlands.
