About Me

I am a master's student in visual arts and design, here in the Netherlands.
I have strong enthusiasm for cultures and diversity, therefore throughout my life I have traveled a lot. I am originally Turkish. I studied at an Italian high school and traveled to Italy during my bachelor's.
The same curiosity brought along the passion for social interactions and sharing skills. Therefore teaching is a great way of learning new things from each other. Things that school does not teach; social skills that are very useful in every aspect of our lives.
Therefore I give particular importance to teaching languages. Even though my background is not academically focused, language is a skill that only life experience can build it properly.
Therefore in my classes, I will give strong importance to shameless practice, and to build as many experiences as possible through trial, error, and success.
Being open to cultural differences and their exploration, both practically, and theoretically, will definitely help you get the best out of this classes.
Get ready for diving into a new culture, talking through playing, cooking, singing and doing all kinds of things!

Fluent Turkish Lessons for Everyday Use From a Native Speaker

22.33 £ /h

This class is for those who would like to be comfortable at the everyday use of the Turkish language. From the basic and appropriate ways of introduction to more complex discussions, I will focus on grammar and pronunciation, as well as the cultural aspect of the language.
In the process of learning and using a language, it is fundamental to get deeper in the traditional sayings, proverbs and natural assimilations of the expressions, both to be more comprehensible and familiar in the conversation and to understand the essence of that culture and its people. And this is a very convenient skill for building strong relationships both in personal life and in professional life.
Therefore I will go beyond the technical, towards a more culture-oriented approach in my teaching and I believe it is the most efficient in the long term familiarization of a language.

Turkish Lessons from a native speaker based on your personal needs

22.33 £ /h

Do you have a Turkish partner and you want to communicate better?
Do you work with Turks and you want to improve your relations?
Are you fascinated with Turkish culture and want to learn more?
Or for any other reason, I got you!
Formal, informal, casual. Depending on your needs, I prepare a program special for you, and you learn exactly what you need.
I am a native Turkish speaker who has lived in Rotterdam for 5 years.
I lived in many different countries and learned many different languages. I have a natural talent for learning and teaching languages, and understanding people's cultures and needs, therefore I know how to detect what one needs to learn a language quickly, and more efficiently.

As a student, I can vividly remember which teaching methods helped me the most and I know how to simply explain complex topics so that it is easy to understand.
I have several experiences with tutoring, especially children from 6-14 years old. I assign homeworks to check whether we ́ve made a progress.
With me, learning certain subject or improving your skills will be mostly fun and interactive so that the student will remember more what we ́ve discussed.

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!

Tutor in both English and Spanish. As a native English speaker, I am competent to teach any level from Grammar and written English, to causal conversation to improve practical skills. As a near-native Spanish speaker (C1/C2), I am competent to teach any age and ability. Having learnt the language myself, I have an advantage in teaching it to others, as I understand where common mistakes are made and student are confused. I specialize in teaching Spanish to English speakers or English to Spanish speakers, as I can communicate effectively in both languages and appreciate where common difficulties lie.

I have experience teaching a huge range of students, from pre-school children to adults. I use a variety of fun, effective learning tools and methods, which will be suited to each individual student. The student controls the content and the set-up of the lessons alongside constant, informal review to ensure we are always working together to meet their goals. We work at the student's pace, ability and preferred method of learning, tailoring our sessions to meet their desired outcomes. I operate in a completely honest, open environment, where there are no such things as a stupid mistake or question!

Learning a foreign language can be hard, especially in a country where it is not widely spoken. I can help with that. I am a native Spanish and English speaker with experience teaching both languages. I can help you work towards a goal or simply improve on what you already have. I can teach in person or online.

Studying currently at Leiden University College.
I realized that taking the International Baccalaureate Programme (IB) during High School, not only prepared me for university but also equipped me with research and analysis skills, allowing me to be a better professional in the future. Nevertheless, I am aware that this programme is also extremely challenging, and most students, just as I did, need some guidance throughout the process. Here, I may come in to help you.

During IB, some of the subjects I took were:
1) Psychology Standard Level (receiving 6 as my final examination grade)
2) Psychology Extended Essay (receiving A as my final examination grade)
3) English B Higher Level (receiving 7 as my final examination grade)
4) Polish A: Literature Standard Level (receiving 7 as my final examination grade)
4) Mathematics Analysis and Approaches Standard Level (receiving 6 as my final examination grade)
5) Biology Higher Level (receiving 5 as my final examination grade)
6) Theory of Knowledge Final Essay (receiving B as my final examination grade)

I can be a mentor and serve as help for students writing their Internal Assessments in the subjects mentioned above, as well as when writing the Extended Essay in Psychology, or the Theory of Knowledge Essay. I may also tutor, in preparation for the exams, or to explain specific topics from: Psychology, Biology, Polish, English B, or Theory of Knowledge.

I would also like to add that I lived in New Zealand for 6 years, and I am fluent in English.

Please reach out if any further information is needed.

A bit about me, I am Cloé, I am half Italian and French but always lived in Florence, Italy, and now study in The Hague.
I miss my home country so I decided to spread "Italianity" by teaching it to whoever wants to learn our beautiful language.
Studying Italian will open a gateway for you onto one of the world's most beautiful languages and one of its richest cultures. Because of the history of the country, Italian is not just the language of Italy but of the world. You'll discover our culture and impress your family by ordering with confidence at an authentic Italian restaurant or directly in Italy.

I'll help you learn the basics of the language or if you already have an advanced level we'll practice speaking skills and more advanced facts about Italy, far from the typical stereotypes.

Hola,

My name is Ashley! I've had many experiences tutoring and working with children of different age groups and backgrounds, because I'm especially passionate about helping people overcome their learning barriers and achieve their potential. I am a native English and Chinese speaker, who have also grown up speaking Bahasa Indonesian. I am comfortable teaching Maths up to High School advanced level (depending on the syllabus eg. GCSE, International Baccalaureate), and English and Literature for both second-language and first-language speakers.
Essentially, I am interested to help you according to your needs, whether that is after-school homework, extra classes about a difficult concept, proofreading your essay, or learning a new language. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this a bit further, just reach out!

💬 A customised English pronunciation training course with a dedicated native-speaking coach will enhance your communication skills, boost your confidence, and ensure you can be easily understood in English conversations, presentations and meetings.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
🗣️ Pronunciation for Public Speaking and Conversation is a course that identifies and resolves the issues that make people struggle to understand you. Common issues include:

• speaking too fast or slow
• having a confusing or flat intonation
• missing or overemphasising weak sounds
• stressing the wrong parts of words or sentences
• not linking sounds together
• talking with a rhythm that isn't natural to English

We will use a mix of techniques from shadowing and repetition exercises to dramatic readings and real-time speaking practice. We will also use specialist software called Praat so that you can visualise your speech, hear yourself back and make immediate changes to your pronunciation. It's highly effective and pretty fun too!

Our goal: make your speech clearer, more expressive, more enjoyable to listen to and easier to follow.

WHAT MAKES YOUR LESSONS STAND OUT?
First, they’re accessible. In this industry, professional pronunciation training sessions are often priced at €100 an hour or more. That model leaves many people without support. I believe quality teaching shouldn’t be a luxury.

Second, they’re personal. Too many pronunciation courses recycle the same generic materials for everyone. I design each lesson around your needs and issues so the time you spend actually moves you forward.

Finally, they’re research-based. A lot of pronunciation teaching still relies on outdated methods that don’t reflect what we know about how languages are learned. I use approaches grounded in linguistics and pedagogy, so your effort translates into lasting progress.

WHO SIGNS UP FOR AN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION COURSE?
The Pronunciation for Public Speaking and Conversation course is ideal for people who engage in presentations, lectures, speeches or moderating, or simply for people who want to be more confident in everyday conversation.

Pronunciation training benefits professionals from a variety of sectors. My clients include consultants, creatives, therapists, lecturers, teachers, performers, bankers, estate agents, hosts, broadcasters, corporate trainers, small business owners, international executives, and facilitators.

⭐ If you are looking for a more comprehensive pronunciation coaching that goes into all the sounds of your accent, please check out my other course on Apprentus, "English Pronunciation and Accent Coaching / Training with a Native Teacher".

ABOUT ME
My name’s Tom and I’m an English teacher from Southeast England. Now I live in the Hague, Netherlands. I teach English learners how to communicate more clearly.

I have taught for various schools and agencies in the Netherlands and been frustrated by the lack of high-quality materials and expertise in the pronunciation teaching field. So in 2021 I set up my freelance teaching business to change the situation.

I have over 12 years of teaching experience, and I have a master's degree in Linguistics from Leiden University, with a specialisation in English Linguistics. I am trained in speech analysis software, which is a highly effective (and fun!) tool that helps learners not only hear but also visualise their mistakes.

I speak Finnish (my mum's side is from Finland), Mandarin Chinese (I lived in Taiwan for six years) and French (because I love the sound of it). I also know smatterings of other languages like Dutch, Spanish and Japanese. I am also an English language nerd and will happily talk your head off about why British people say "wa'er", what “muscles” have to do with mice, or why English spelling is so beautifully bizarre.
