English tutoring at home for lower-level pre-vocational secondary education (MAVO), senior general secondary education (HAVO), and pre-university education (VWO) students in The Hague and surrounding areas by an experienced and qualified English teacher.

From 26 £ /h

I explain the grammar by giving you the rules and examples from everyday life and from pop music.
We will make exercises from your own workbook to see if you understand it and you can learn from mistakes so that you don't make them again on your test.
We will also practice reading texts from old exams because that will be your final exam later on.
Usually the grades of my tutors go up quickly.
I come to the student's home to give tutoring at the table in the afternoon.

Extra information

Bring an A4 notebook with you for all notes I give you about grammar and idiom so that you can use them to do exercises and look back on how it went later. When you get a test you can go through everything again so that you know how to do it again.

About Me

I have taught English for years at the lower levels of the mavo, havo and vwo.
I explain the grammar on the blackboard or on paper the old-fashioned way and let the student apply it themselves if it is understood.
We read reading texts together and we then answer the multiple choice questions by searching carefully in the text where the answer is exactly.

Education

English teacher training and later switched to the 2nd degree evening English training for the lower years of secondary school so that I could also teach.

My name is Marija and I've recently moved from Germany where I have been an English teacher in a private language school and Volkshochschule, and a private tutor.
I am a passionate linguist who lives the languages. I teach all levels and prepare kids and young adults for exams and help them expand their knowledge. Languages are the most beautiful thing in the world and I always try to make language closer to the student, no need for pressure and stress, everything can be learned with little bit of patience and will :) I work with individuals and groups.

Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities.

Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.

I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Congratulations! You have chosen to learn one of the most difficult languages in the world. But with the well-organized and simple program, you can learn it easily.

You may learn Turkish for different reasons. (Work, life, education, retirement, relationship or just keep your mind fresh). Whatever your reason and level are I am quite available to teach you most proper Turkish.

Learning Turkish normally takes up to 1 year. Considering your level, learning style and availability it could be more or less.

I am a professional English teacher with over 8 years experience in various teaching roles. I have experience of teaching all ages from 3 up to 65+ in group classes or 1-on-1. Specific purpose teaching such as public speaking or business English also taught.

I will always make the class exciting, fun and full of laughter. I think people learn better when they are engaged and enjoying themselves. I have a wide variety of teaching materials too as I currently teach online to Chinese schoolchildren for some hours of the day. I am incredibly flexible and will have a conversation with you before the class to see what learning environment will work best for you or your child. Homework can be set too.

I have just come back to Europe after spending 3 years in South Korea as a teacher to children aged 5 - 18. Before that I worked alongside children with learning difficulties for 5 years, as a sports coach and a playground designer too. Come and have a first class and see how great it is! See you soon!

I'll help you learn English. We'll practice written and spoken English and work on grammar. I'll help you start learning the language from scratch. I'll also help you with the curriculum and homework for school-age children.

I can also help you prepare for both state exams (the Unified State Exam) and international exams, such as IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT (I've experienced passing each of these exams).
Since the written portion of the exams is so important, we'll expand our vocabulary and learn to logically argue your case.

We'll focus on conversational English, discussing various topics, which will also help expand your vocabulary, and watching videos in English and discussing them. I'll help you learn English.

English is a key to some of the best universities in the world. Do you want to have the opportunity to access the top universities? Yes? Then you definitely need to speak English.
During the exam preparation course you will use real-life language, tasks and topics. This means that, in addition to developing real-life English language communication skills, you will develop a range of practical academic skills. For example, you will develop the skills to:
- give clear presentations;
- write essays with a good organizational structure and supporting conclusions;
- read quickly enough to cope with the demands of academic textbooks and grasp the main topics and ideas;
- follow lectures and ask detailed questions.

English is a language which is growing in In importance and is widely accepted as a key skill to have. As well as this, learning a new language can be one of the most fun activities you can do and I would be really happy to help you with this!
My name is Louis, I am a 23 years old and am a native English speaker. Before The Netherlands, I have lived in the UK for 16+ years; all of my school education has been in the English taught British school system. This has helped clients in particular, with children in a British school here.

I have designed my classes with the aim of building the basic skills required in holding conversations, succeeding in an English speaking environment but also teaching students who have an advanced level but require extra help (often with the technical side, for example the rules surrounding tenses and other grammatical points).

The classes are best performed on a one to one basis but I have taught small group sessions (less than 5) before.
I hope for my lessons to be fun, informative and practical.

Arabic is my mother tongue and I am graduated in English literature. I use the Mastering Arabic methodology from Jane Wightwick and Mahmoud Mahmood Gaafar. This method can fit for multiple purposes, school & homework help, professional or leisure usage of the language.
I can adapt and customize the lessons depending on the need of the student.

• Is your English pronunciation holding you back?
• Do people misunderstand you and ask you to repeat yourself?
• Do you notice that people get tired listening to you?
• Do you feel judged before you even finish speaking?

I’m Tom, a native English speaker from the south of England. I've developed my methods from a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics plus 13 years of teaching. My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback.

❗ 45-minute lessons are via Zoom only

I offer one-to-one English accent coaching personalised for your needs and goals. I will help you correctly produce the sounds of English so that you can immediately start speaking with more clarity, confidence, and control – and without feeling awkward or anxious.

Although I take coaching seriously, and I want you to as well, my classes are also light-hearted and warm. People learn best when they’re enjoying themselves and feeling deeply interested, and that is my promise to you. I will correct your mistakes, but I will never shame or embarrass you for making them. My class is a place where people come to feel good and grow confidence.

⭐ English Pronunciation and Accent Coaching / Training / Reduction with a Qualified Expert Native Teacher

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
• Change key vowel and consonant sounds that cause misunderstandings
• Control your rhythm, intonation and pausing
• Build links between your hearing and speech muscles
• Breathe comfortably and strengthen your voice
• Adapt your voice appropriately for different purposes – meetings, interviews, presentations, pitches, conversations, and more

➡️ Fast pronunciation improvements – our main goal at all times

WILL I SOUND 100% NATIVE?
❗Research shows that for most adult speakers, it's just not possible after our teenage years to develop a fully native accent. So, honest accent coaching is not about training you to sound native. Instead, a good coach will train you to be understood by as many people as possible and communicate exactly what you intend. That means fixing problematic sounds and expanding your range of vocal styles by borrowing from voice acting techniques, from sounding authoritative and executive to warm and supportive.

If you do want to sound native, I can still help you – whichever accent you prefer – from the UK, USA, Australia or anywhere else. I can train you in the accent of your choice. If your native language is very close to English, like Dutch, or you have a sharp ear for sounds and mimicry, you may be able to develop a native-like accent as an adult. In our first session, you can take a specialised test to discover if this could be you.

WHAT ARE YOUR METHODS?
I've developed my methods from a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics plus 13 years of teaching. My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback.

• I use modern evidence-based methods
• I create my own original training materials tailored to YOUR individual language background, goals, requirements and preferences
• I offer a customised course specifically for you, not a one-size-fits-all package
• You’ll start with controlled practice to master new sounds, then move into spontaneous speech so that these skills become part of your everyday speaking habits

Curious to learn more or not sure if you need coaching? Send me a message and I'll be happy to give you my honest opinion.

I am a copywriter and a creative by profession, not a traditional teacher, and for many people, that is precisely the reason to choose me. English is the language in which I work daily. I studied and lived in it (film school in London) and worked internationally for ten years: on brands, campaigns, and even the original concept for a TV format.

I offer two things that complement each other well. On the English side: learning to speak naturally, increased self-confidence, and practical writing such as work emails, presentations, and pitches, built around real-life situations rather than dry exercises from a book. On the storytelling side: copywriting, brand and personal stories, content that sticks, motivational texts, and scripts. Ideas, structure, voice, and impact.

Come for one thing, another, or both. Every lesson is one-on-one and fully tailored to your goals. Ideal for professionals, expats, entrepreneurs, and creators. Also for sharpening your CV, LinkedIn profile, or cover letter: I help you put yourself on paper clearly and convincingly. Teenagers are also welcome for help with writing: essays, school texts, or a first CV. I work on clarity, structure, and confidence on paper—not exam training, but learning to write more effectively.
