Spanish and English conversation for all skill groups

From 25.01 £ /h

Many people, over time, lose the ability to converse in a second language after being unable to practice for a long time. This also makes them embarassed to take that first step to talk to people who know the language.

By having a space where people can talk with no judgement and encouraging their participation, my lessons allow students to gain confidence and improve their skills in a comfortable environment, discussing topics that they find interesting.

About Me

I am a 24 year old Spanish guy living in the Netherlands.

I grew up in Spain, and attended a British school in Madrid, giving me the chance to learn Spanish and English alongside each other since I was very young.
My family is of Peruvian background, which allowed me to better understand the differences between Spanish from Latinamerica and Spain. Moreover, I did my Undergraduate Degree in Scotland, allowing me to immerse myself even more in the language.

As such, I have a good understanding of what works and what doesn't when engaging natives of both English and Spanish backgrounds, and can help filter what would sound odd to a local, improving grammar and sentence structure use to further polish the student's skill.

My lessons are about fun. There will be no judging, regardless of the skill level, as I hope to make my lessons a space where students can feel safe to make mistakes, and learn from them. Due to the nature of the lessons, the content will vary depending on the interests of every student, in the same way a real conversation would, so you can expect variety and engagement.

All I ask from my students is to try to enjoy the lessons, and not worry too much about sounding like a local from the start: we are here to learn!

Education

I did my Undergraduate Degree at the University of Dundee, in the field of Biomedical Sciences.
I am currently doing a Masters Degree at the University of Maastricht, with a specialization in Regenerative Medicine.

Experience / Qualifications

In terms of English, I have the Cambridge C2 Proficiency Exam with a grade A, plus experience of four years living within the UK (Scotland) doing an Undergraduate Degree.
For Spanish, I grew up in Spain, in a Spanish-speaking family. Having been to a school in Spain, I also know how to move onto more formal styles of speech if required.

Hello!!! I would be thrilled to have you for student. We offer Spanish and Italian lessons at a native level and always make sure to keep a high-quality learning. Do you need a last minute lesson to prepare you for an examination? Do you wish to improve your language level rapidly and efficiently? Are you moving soon to Spain or Italy ? Do you need to prepare yourself for an interview? Well, you have chosen the right teacher! :-) I can make you discover the Spanish/Italian culture through the lessons and make sure that you will be able to speak properly Spanish/Italian once in Spain/Italy (or who knows Brazil... ;-) ).

* Students taking their IB/ GCSEs/ A-Levels or other exams can be guaranteed to get the top grades (but you also need to do your homework and revise your notes ;-) ). I can also help students at the university in business, economics...

* Students who are willing to learn Spanish/Italian for fun, let's do it! I can make the lessons fun for you and we can talk about many subjects.

You have got a question? I'm waiting for you to send me a message. No questions? You can directly book your first lesson and I'll do my best to give you your desired time slot. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

My name is Max and I study Development Studies at the University College in Maastricht. Teaching is a passion of mine and I have experience in teaching English to adults as well as children from the age of 6. I am open to having the lessons online or in-person. I believe an essential part of learning is having faith in oneself and one's abilities, which is why I make an active effort to boost my students' self esteem.

Qualified Teacher in English As a Second Language. I have experience with a wide range of levels and ages, most importantly between 8 and 17 years old. Tutoring has provided me a particular insight of teaching English, where I adapt to the client's needs.
If the needs is rather to learn day-to-day English or French, I rather practice through games, interactive activities and real-life examples. Most importantly, I priviledge conversation tasks.

Hi! I am a 20 year old native English speaker from Australia. Currently I am undertaking a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate, therefore, I can offer constructed classes adapted to the students strengths and weakness, provide support and assistance in grasping complex English language concepts (ie. grammar, punctuation, spelling, writing), and provide feedback in work/assignments. I am here to help!:)

I am currently studying psychology in English and I am looking forward to having you as a student! Explaining complicated concepts in a simple way is one of my favorite things. I started doing this at school with my friends and have been doing it as a tutor for over 4 years now. I focus on what you need at that exact moment and I also like to use metaphors and mnemonics to make the topic understandable.

Dear language lovers,

WHAT I OFFER
I provide French and English lessons for all levels and domains,whether business, academic, social, or simply for the joy of learning a rich and fascinating language. I can help you develop your reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in both French and English. From grammar and syntax to vocabulary enrichment, I use a personalized, pedagogical approach based on your individual needs and shared learning goals we define together.

MY EXPERIENCE
As a native French speaker, I know the beauty and poetry of the language inside and out, and I’m excited to share it with anyone curious to dive in. Since high school, I’ve offered private tutoring to students aged 10 to 17, helping them with everything from grammar worksheets and book reviews to philosophy essays and creative writing assignments.

As for English, I was raised in an international school environment where English was a core part of my education from childhood through high school. I earned my TOEFL certificate before beginning my current bachelor’s studies, which are entirely in English. I've also taught English with a focus on pronunciation, grammar, syntax, and practical communication skills.

TUTORING SET-UP
When tutoring, I place strong emphasis on tracking progress, often by assigning homework (if agreed upon) and creating clear, structured plans to help students stay on track. I’m always flexible and happy to adapt to each learner’s feedback and preferences to make lessons as enjoyable and engaging as possible.

I offer lessons online or in person—either at my place or yours. Thanks to my bilingual upbringing (with a German mother) and my French-German high school diploma (AbiBac), I can also provide instruction in German if needed.

Looking forward to sharing the joy of language learning with you!

Learn English with me, Lorenzo, a native English speaker from London with over 6 years English teaching experience and a CELTA qualification. I have had students of ages ranging from 10 to 70, and of levels ranging from A2 to C1, as well as native speakers taking English as a school subject. I also offer specialised English classes: business English, academic English, English for diplomacy, and English for psychology.

I attended an international school speaking Italian (bi-lingual proficiency) and French (B2) alongside English. Furthermore, I studied in Freiburg, Germany, and still teach many German students through Freiburg’s Carl-Schurz Haus German-American Institute. My familiarity with these languages allows me to offer explanations and translations tailored to the needs of my students.
