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

From 16.96 £ /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 am a certified English teacher who has recently moved to Rotterdam from the United States. English is my native language. Whether you are a true beginner, intermediate, or an advanced English speaker who is simply looking for someone to practice with, I am here to help.

I have a true understanding of how intimidating learning a new language can be and tailor each lesson to suit your individual needs. We will assess what you already know and work together to set goals that will push you out of your comfort zone but not be overwhelming. Since moving to Rotterdam I have helped many students work towards their English language learning goals. I have experience teaching ESL (English as a second language) for business and regularly help ESL students prepare for interviews.

A little about the lessons: I like to use a variety of materials to build my lessons but a typical lesson will focus on a relevant topic to suit your interests and needs, and give you various opportunities to practice listening, comprehension, discussion, formation of complex thoughts and ideas, reading, and building vocabulary. I like to utilize technology when it can be used to enrich the lesson and assign homework as a continuation of our session.

*My rate includes our time together as well as additional time spent outside of class preparing your individualized lessons/materials and building a program that works best for your English language learning needs.

I am flexible with scheduling and have a passion for helping others! I cannot wait to meet you :) Please feel free to message me with further questions about my teaching method and current availability.

I'm a native English speaker from Canada, currently living in Prague, with many years of ESL and university teaching experience. I can help you gain confidence and improve skills through stimulating, content-based lessons with varieties of topics, activities and materials, designed and adapted to your level, interests, and requirements, and what you and I together feel we want and need to work on flexibly week by week.

I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, and including improving vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading.

My teaching style is engaging, creative and friendly—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students enjoy primarily having conversation without other resources needed, but I also often use songs, videos, and texts of various kinds to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and I also use varieties of ESL material from various internet sources as well.

Hola!

Are you looking for a passionate and entertaining Spanish teacher? Well, look no further! I'm the one you're looking for.

I'm not your typical Spanish teacher. I don't believe in boring lectures and endless grammar drills. Instead, I strive to create an immersive and engaging learning environment that is both fun and effective.

With over 5 years of experience teaching Spanish to students of all ages, I have developed a unique teaching style that combines language instruction with music, games, and even some friendly competition. I have found that when students are having fun, they are more likely to stay engaged and retain information.

But don't let my fun-loving approach fool you, I am also highly qualified. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education and a Master's degree in Music, and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I have experience teaching all levels of Spanish, from beginner to advanced, and I am skilled in adapting my teaching methods to meet the individual needs of my students.

So, if you're looking for a Spanish teacher who can not only teach you the language but also make you laugh, then look no further. Let's learn Spanish together and have some fun while we're at it!

¡Hasta pronto!

As a native English speaker sometimes I am asked: well why is there three different words for (their there and they’re but they all sound the same?) A question I would love to answer with you in one of our tutoring sessions. I can work with younger children to establish basics, right the way through to adults wishing to perfect their speaking skills. In addition, I have a plethora of English texts to work with for students wishing to focus on English Literature. I have an A-level and GCSE qualification in English.

I will tailor lessons to your needs/ability and age. I provide speaking, listening and writing activities.

For children, I will work with a shared document, where I will keep a record of your child’s progress, the actives we did and their homework. Parents are welcome to be present.

For adults I will provide a shared document of your homework and progress.

I am happy to offer online or in person sessions for children/adults.

I can also offer help with university applications in the United Kingdom and English examination preparation and application.

We can also discuss intensive lessons (every-day for 5 days) includes speaking, listening and writing.
