About Me
Hi everyone! I am Myrthe, a Dutch national living around the world. I love language learning and five years ago I discovered that I also love teaching languages. I am advanced in English and Dutch, fluent in Chinese and German, conversational in Spanish and am currently picking up Arabic.

I have three years’ experience as a Dutch teacher in Taiwan and four years’ experience tutoring kids aged between 3-14, both in Dutch and English. I have taught various subjects such as language, reading, writing, public speaking, science and more.

My teaching methods depend on your learning style. I am open to following your curriculum or can provide you with one based on your needs. My classes are focused on YOU and are 100% personalized to your desire.

For (younger) children I am a big fan of learning through play and music. I believe that using something within a child's specific interest is an easy way to pick up a new language.

I am also comfortable working with a textbook/method.
In case you decide to work with a specific textbook or method, I can arrange it for you, or you can provide one for me to teach from.

If you are the parent(s) of multiple children, I would be happy to teach them at the same time or different times. I’m sure we can make a good deal regarding rates.

I am also open to teaching adults. It would be a great opportunity for us to connect and engage in conversation or improve your skillset.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a lovely day!

Dutch is a hard language to master, but a fun language to learn.

- Dutch grammar
- Dutch spelling

English is the most widely known language across the world and is frequently used for international communication. That's why it's incredibly important and maybe even necessary to master the language. On top of that can it be very helpful to know English when looking for a job, applying for a course or degree program, or starting up a business. Being able to understand and speak English is often considered a pro, if not a requirement.

During this course I can help you prepare for your English test. We can practice together. In this course you can expect to learn and practice a few things:
- reading strategies that will help you find answers in a text
- listening strategies that will help you understand the conversations during the test
- grammar that will help you improve listening and reading
- the keys to writing a good essay during your test
- vocabulary to be able to understand and answer questions on the test

During the classes I will provide you with online materials. I can also give you homework that you can make and which I will check for you. After I check it we will discuss the wrong answers and focus on improving.

My classes are focused on YOU and your goal. That's why my teaching strategy will be based on your learning preferences and knowledge. If you are a visual thinker I will provide you with visualization to make the learning process easier. If you struggle at only a certain part of the test, we can focus on that part alone.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Hello everyone,
My name is Phillip. I am an experienced, native bilingual (USA/Switzerland) English teacher. Today, I am pleased to guide you in your learning from my office located in the wild and inspiring setting of western Ireland.

With many years of experience as a private tutor, I work with students from all backgrounds. However, over time, I have developed an approach that is particularly appreciated by seniors and retirees. Why? Because I am convinced that learning a language at this stage of life should first and foremost be a shared pleasure, a window onto the world, and a wonderful way to keep the mind sharp and curious.
My approach: Trust and kindness above all

Many of us have somewhat rigid memories of school learning. With me, forget the stress of mistakes or tedious grammar. My primary goal is to restore your confidence. We progress at your pace, with a gentle, patient, and personalized teaching approach. Whether you're starting from scratch or simply want to refresh your old school memories, I adapt completely to your needs.

What we can explore together:
- Travel English: So that your next trip abroad is synonymous with serenity (getting around, ordering in restaurants, communicating with locals without apprehension).

-Maintaining family ties: Ideal if you have bilingual grandchildren or grandchildren living abroad and you want to share more with them.

-Conversation & Culture: Discuss current events, literature, history or life in Ireland, while enjoying my clear and easy-to-understand native accent.

-Brain gymnastics: Using English as a fun and stimulating tool to maintain memory and cognitive plasticity.

Why choose me?
As a dual American and Swiss national living in Ireland, I bring a unique cultural richness to your life. I have a mastery of all the nuances of the English language, but I also have a perfect understanding of French culture and structure.

Practical and technological aspects:

We'll work together via Zoom or Google Meet, very simple and reliable tools. If you're worried about the technology, don't be: I'll guide you step by step during our first session so you feel completely comfortable on screen. It's much simpler than it seems!

Join me for a friendly and engaging experience, blending Swiss rigor, American optimism, and the legendary warmth of Ireland. Let's transform your English practice into a truly enriching human adventure.
Nice to meet you,

Phillip

English is more than just learning grammar and memorizing vocabulary. It’s about having the confidence to express your thoughts, communicate with others, and use English in everyday situations. I’ve designed my lessons to be practical, engaging, and adapted to each student’s level, needs, and interests.

You’ll improve your speaking, listening, reading, vocabulary, and grammar through meaningful conversations and activities. Whether you’re a beginner who wants to build confidence or an advanced learner who wants to become more fluent, our lessons will give you opportunities to practice English in a comfortable and supportive environment.

My goal is to help you feel comfortable expressing yourself—even when you make mistakes. Step by step, we’ll build your confidence and develop your English skills in a way that is useful for school, work, travel, and everyday communication.

A dynamic, interactive English as a Second Language (ESL) course designed to help non-native speakers improve their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.

Learning to speak English fluently is about more than memorizing grammar rules—it's about feeling at ease when you need to use it: in conversations at work, in school, while traveling, or in everyday situations that call for quick, natural responses.

With experience teaching adult professionals on language and travel communication, I focus on building both your language skills and your confidence. My feedback approach draws on mindfulness principles, helping you notice and release the self-judgment or anxiety that often gets in the way of speaking freely, as non-native speakers often feel. Rather than fixating on every mistake, we work on staying present and communicating clearly. I will help you improve your English skills through consistent fluency practice, paired with mindful, constructive correction—so growth feels natural, not stressful.

This class covers practical, real-world English — conversations at work and in school, travel scenarios, and everyday interactions — while also expanding your vocabulary naturally through real conversation, so you leave each session more capable and more at ease using the language.

Learning to speak English fluently is about more than memorizing grammar rules—it's about feeling at ease when you need to use it: in conversations at work, in school, while traveling, or in everyday situations that call for quick, natural responses.

With experience teaching adult professionals on language and travel communication, I focus on building both your language skills and your confidence. My feedback approach draws on mindfulness principles, helping you notice and release the self-judgment or anxiety that often gets in the way of speaking freely, as non-native speakers often feel. Rather than fixating on every mistake, we work on staying present and communicating clearly. I will help you improve your English skills through consistent fluency practice, paired with mindful, constructive correction—so growth feels natural, not stressful.

This class covers practical, real-world English — conversations at work and in school, travel scenarios, and everyday interactions — while also expanding your vocabulary naturally through real conversation, so you leave each session more capable and more at ease using the language.
