Some Reviews:
Chevaan:
Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.
Extra information
Be brave and dive in. Apps are great but can't correct the spoken word nor give you the "local insight".

REVIEWS:
Amina: We miss her voice in the house. Our daughter had her first school day on Monday and had a wonderful time. She’s been loving going to school and has made some friends already. The feedback I’ve gotten from most teachers ( and Noor) is that she understands most of what is being said. Thank you for supporting her and getting her up to speed enough to understand the language. Your effort (and of course hers) is evident in the confidence she has shown at school this week and I really grateful for the positive influence you have had during the learning process.

University graduate in German language and literature (Master of Letters in German with specialization in medieval languages and literature) with a solid experience, gives private German lessons for all levels.
My lessons are adapted according to the needs of the student. They aim to consolidate concepts, fill gaps, prepare for exams (maturity, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams to gymnasiums and universities, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2). Opportunity to learn the language.

For school supports:

This is above all long-term work, which implies on my part taking the time to "learn how to learn" in an effective manner: every exercise is explained in detail, which can make its execution easier. slower. Quality takes priority over quantity in order to obtain optimal results over time.
Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, books, audio CDs, dictionaries, assessments, etc.).
Another important point: in order for my help to be beneficial, it is necessary that the student provides regular personal work between lessons. This essentially involves rereading your notes, repeating exercises similar to those carried out together or even moving forward in learning vocabulary.

For conversation classes:

The topics are based on interests and/or specific needs for exam preparation. I attach particular importance to pronunciation, fluency and vocabulary. I usually correct at the end of a conversation exercise with detailed feedback, in order to avoid any blockages and to work on fluency. Depending on the level of the students and/or their expectations (exam preparations/assessments/desire for improvement for example), I work on the choice of appropriate words, grammatical accuracy, the ability to formulate more or less complex sentences.

For exam preparations:

The courses offer to acquire solid tools to learn to write, to comment on literary texts and a methodology to work on oral comprehension. The student must bring their own exam preparation brochure, available in all bookstores. For Goethe Institute model exams, the exam books from Cornlesen are particularly suitable. The other alternative would be to download and print before the start of the course a copy of the Goethe Institute exam available on the institute's website.

For the oral comprehension:

Work from audio-visual viewings downloaded from the Deutsche Welle site, which offer various recordings adapted to all levels, with a very concrete approach. In the long term, the student acquires ease not only in oral comprehension, but also enriches his basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work on the Goethe Institut oral tests to familiarize myself with speaking.

For the work of the written expression:

I begin by explaining in the first lesson some methodological tools to acquire writing skills. The student has the opportunity to start writing during the course or do a writing exercise on duty and give it to me to correct (send by email or at the beginning of the next lesson). The corrections are explained in detail. In addition, at the time of booking, the student can send me a draft copy before the lesson so that I can meet his needs even more quickly.

Apart from my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after the lesson, particularly for the work that I correct. My goal being to design an individualized course, I take the time necessary to write detailed comments on corrected work or advice to ensure maximum success for everyone.
In addition, each student can contact me at any time outside of class by email if necessary.

Feel free to contact me for more information. :)

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.


I look forward to meeting you.

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

For over 15 years, I have been helping students and professionals move from understanding English to speaking English with ease, naturalness and confidence.

You understand English... but you struggle with speaking it? That's normal — the problem often comes from the method, not from you.

With a clear and structured approach combined with real-world practice, you progress quickly and finally use English in concrete situations.

▸ MY APPROACH
I combine structured grammar and real conversation so you can speak, think, and react directly in English. You no longer have to choose between understanding and speaking—you do both.

▸ TWO TYPES OF STUDENTS
I primarily work with two types of clients:

• Structured progression
You build a solid foundation (grammar, vocabulary, structure) for work, studies or everyday life.

• Fluidity and ease
You already have a certain level but you want to speak more naturally, gain confidence and be comfortable in real-life situations.

For example: interviews, meetings, presentations, exchanges with international teams.

▸ PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH
With a background in American business school and experience in a professional environment, I help you communicate effectively in English in real-life contexts.

▸ OBJECTIVE
Speak with confidence, fluency, and precision.

If you are serious about your progress and want concrete results, let's begin.

I am convinced that one of the most effective ways to learn a language is to start speaking it; hence, we will definitely have an "English only" policy in our classes. Don’t worry though! I will make sure that you are comfortable and always heard. We’ll focus heavily on speaking so you can freely talk about your everyday life, communicate with strangers while traveling, and even spill the tea with me without overthinking your grammar.

There are no specific textbooks, but separate lessons on different topics that include grammar, vocabulary, rules, and also movies, songs, TV series, and games, so you can grasp the language in various ways.

Working on your mistakes, focusing specifically on the topics that matter to you, boosting your conversational skills, or preparing for exams are all considered and integrated into the lessons. I am looking forward to having you in my classes!

So, shall we start? :)

Greetings! My name is Anne, and I love working with people from different countries, backgrounds, and age groups.

I am a native English speaker (with a neutral North American accent) who has had the privilege of living in 5 different countries so far. I am proficient in American, Canadian, and British English—I can teach one style or a mix of all three! This includes differences in pronunciation, conversational English (sentence structure and common phrases), grammar, spelling, and academic/professional communication. I also help students understand cultural nuances, including the fine art of mastering direct versus indirect communication.

I have also dabbled in a bit of Aussie slang during my time in Australia—which may not always be practical, but is heaps fun to know if you are keen (that was very Aussie English there)!

My specialty is helping learners develop an English accent that is clear and easily understood worldwide (avoiding thick, muffled, or fast accents).

I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from one of the top business schools in Canada and have been working in the non-profit sector since graduating. Therefore, I am also able to help you improve your professional communication skills, including speaking, writing, interviewing, etiquette, body language, and understanding the nuances of different business settings.

Having had the privilege of working with people from approximately 45% of the world’s nationalities thus far, I am very familiar with differences in culture around the world, and how to navigate transitioning between them smoothly (aka code switching)!

My first business was a home tutoring service that I started in high school, teaching English and Math. I have lots of experience working with children, youth, and young adults from around the world, and am friendly, caring, patient, and encouraging in my teaching approach.

My lessons are tailored to your specific needs and goals, and my 'starter‐finisher' personality will help you reach them—at your own pace! They are practical (drawing on real-world experience), interactive, engaging, and, most importantly, fun! I will not give up on you (no matter where you are starting from) because I deeply enjoy helping people build confidence—not just in English, but in themselves.

I look forward to meeting you!

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

Language learning is becoming increasingly essential today. From an early age, our education system includes learning English as a foreign language. On the other hand, Spanish is a highly sought-after language among foreigners.

I'm here to help you learn English or Spanish :) I adapt to any need you may have; whether you need my help for exams, language certification exams, homework, or simply because you want to improve your English or Spanish skills for work or everyday life.

I provide services from primary school to adults.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.


I look forward to meeting you.

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

For over 15 years, I have been helping students and professionals move from understanding English to speaking English with ease, naturalness and confidence.

You understand English... but you struggle with speaking it? That's normal — the problem often comes from the method, not from you.

With a clear and structured approach combined with real-world practice, you progress quickly and finally use English in concrete situations.

▸ MY APPROACH
I combine structured grammar and real conversation so you can speak, think, and react directly in English. You no longer have to choose between understanding and speaking—you do both.

▸ TWO TYPES OF STUDENTS
I primarily work with two types of clients:

• Structured progression
You build a solid foundation (grammar, vocabulary, structure) for work, studies or everyday life.

• Fluidity and ease
You already have a certain level but you want to speak more naturally, gain confidence and be comfortable in real-life situations.

For example: interviews, meetings, presentations, exchanges with international teams.

▸ PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH
With a background in American business school and experience in a professional environment, I help you communicate effectively in English in real-life contexts.

▸ OBJECTIVE
Speak with confidence, fluency, and precision.

If you are serious about your progress and want concrete results, let's begin.

I am convinced that one of the most effective ways to learn a language is to start speaking it; hence, we will definitely have an "English only" policy in our classes. Don’t worry though! I will make sure that you are comfortable and always heard. We’ll focus heavily on speaking so you can freely talk about your everyday life, communicate with strangers while traveling, and even spill the tea with me without overthinking your grammar.

There are no specific textbooks, but separate lessons on different topics that include grammar, vocabulary, rules, and also movies, songs, TV series, and games, so you can grasp the language in various ways.

Working on your mistakes, focusing specifically on the topics that matter to you, boosting your conversational skills, or preparing for exams are all considered and integrated into the lessons. I am looking forward to having you in my classes!

So, shall we start? :)

Greetings! My name is Anne, and I love working with people from different countries, backgrounds, and age groups.

I am a native English speaker (with a neutral North American accent) who has had the privilege of living in 5 different countries so far. I am proficient in American, Canadian, and British English—I can teach one style or a mix of all three! This includes differences in pronunciation, conversational English (sentence structure and common phrases), grammar, spelling, and academic/professional communication. I also help students understand cultural nuances, including the fine art of mastering direct versus indirect communication.

I have also dabbled in a bit of Aussie slang during my time in Australia—which may not always be practical, but is heaps fun to know if you are keen (that was very Aussie English there)!

My specialty is helping learners develop an English accent that is clear and easily understood worldwide (avoiding thick, muffled, or fast accents).

I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from one of the top business schools in Canada and have been working in the non-profit sector since graduating. Therefore, I am also able to help you improve your professional communication skills, including speaking, writing, interviewing, etiquette, body language, and understanding the nuances of different business settings.

Having had the privilege of working with people from approximately 45% of the world’s nationalities thus far, I am very familiar with differences in culture around the world, and how to navigate transitioning between them smoothly (aka code switching)!

My first business was a home tutoring service that I started in high school, teaching English and Math. I have lots of experience working with children, youth, and young adults from around the world, and am friendly, caring, patient, and encouraging in my teaching approach.

My lessons are tailored to your specific needs and goals, and my 'starter‐finisher' personality will help you reach them—at your own pace! They are practical (drawing on real-world experience), interactive, engaging, and, most importantly, fun! I will not give up on you (no matter where you are starting from) because I deeply enjoy helping people build confidence—not just in English, but in themselves.

I look forward to meeting you!

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
