Are you looking for a qualified native English teacher (British) with extensive teaching and business experience? If so, I would love to help you!

I have a very simple teaching philosophy. Every single lesson must be challenging, rewarding, and fun – as the best way to learn is with a smile on your face. I adapt our lessons together to your unique needs and goals, including:

• improving your accent and pronunciation;
• helping you avoid steenkool English and typical ‘Dunglish’ words;
• broadening your vocabulary; and
• perfecting your use of tenses.

Most important of all, I can help improve your confidence, which is the key to learning any language.

A speciality of mine is Business English, so I can also help with everything from preparing for an interview or speaking in meetings, to giving a presentation.

While my classes are 100% in English, I can also speak Dutch and Spanish. This gives me a real insight as to why students make certain mistakes, and how to best avoid them.

Depending on your request, the class can focus on the improvement of your oral or written competencies. If you want to learn grammar or master your letter writing or comprehension skills, we will work on that. In case you want to maintain the level of your understanding and oral abilities, we will improve that.

I have been teaching English for nearly 25 years. I teach exclusively online (via Teams).

I am TEFL certified. I also have the TEFL - TBE (TEFL Certificate in Teaching Business English) and the TEFL - TEYL (TEFL Certificate in Teaching English to Young Learners) certificates.

Selon votre demande, la classe peut se concentrer sur l'amélioration de vos compétences orales ou écrites. Si vous souhaitez apprendre la grammaire, maîtrisez vos compétences en écriture ou compréhension, nous travaillerons à ce sujet. Dans le cas où vous souhaitez maintenir le niveau de compréhension et les capacités orales, nous améliorerons cela.

J'enseigne l'anglais depuis près de 25 ans maintenant. J'enseigne exclusivementpar webcam (par Teams).

Je suis certifié TEFL. J'ai également les certificats TEFL-TBE (certificat d'enseignement de l'anglais des affaires) et TEFL-TEYL (certificat d'enseignement de l'anglais aux jeunes apprenants).

Hi! I'm Tanya.
I was born in Italy, but for the last two years of my life I have traveled the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East, traveling and working remotely.
I am a professional teacher with 6 years of experience. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.
I have a degree in languages, I am certified in international law and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language, but also how to learn new languages!
I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!
That's because I love learning new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.
My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language.
My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning.
My classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic.
GROUP LESSONS possible!
See you soon! :-)

Hi, I'm Paola and I'm a graduate in Italian Literature and I also have a master's degree in Teaching Italian to Foreigners.
During my time at university, I gave private lessons to Erasmus students in Italy. That experience further strengthened my interest in teaching. For many years, I have been giving individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online to students of various levels. Whether you want to learn or improve your Italian, I am happy to help you.
I use a book that I integrate with different materials. Conversation is very important, but so is listening and understanding a text.
The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information.

A presto!

Hello! My name is Sten Mulder Gaton, 23 years old and a Spanish Teacher HBO student.
I started giving Spanish tutoring in 2022, and that's when I discovered that I really enjoy it!

By now, I have tutored all kinds of students, from first-year high school students to retirees, from the unemployed to investors, from Indonesians to Americans (this means I can also teach in English). What the students enjoy most about the lessons is the energy I put into them, which motivates them and, of course, leads to good results.

From the age of one to eight, I lived in various parts of Spain, which means I speak the language fluently and recognize the differences well. You will not only receive help with the Spanish language, but also learn a bit of history and the connection between Spanish and other languages; these are taught using mnemonics that are guaranteed to help you make tremendous progress in learning Spanish!

I am a very friendly, helpful, and social person; I have always enjoyed interacting with people. This also creates a good atmosphere during the lesson, which I find very important.

My teaching style is unique compared to the teachers I have worked with. I focus purely on your learning goal, without difficult grammar exercises. I also teach you handy reading methods and use 'psychological' tricks so that you learn Spanish at a rapid pace!

In my experience, a 2-hour lesson is the maximum duration. After 2 hours of lessons, your concentration decreases. I try to teach you as many different aspects of the Spanish language (and appropriately, the History and Geography of Spain) as possible within that time.

What really motivates me about tutoring is the joy I see in the students and the progress they make. This makes me incredibly proud and determined to continue teaching the Spanish language. I am also taking Module C (highest level) at the Instituto Cervantes, which provides me with tips on teaching and conveying the material. This module provides me with a certificate as compensation.

So what are you waiting for? You are guaranteed not to find cheaper and better tutoring anywhere else! Send me a message :)

Cheers!

I am a native English and Italian speaker, and I have worked as a tutor and language teacher over the past ten years, while also studying History and Cultural Heritage. My experience includes teaching English language courses at different levels, preparing for language exams, conversation practice, as well as text translation and correction. My past customers range from teenage and adult students, to young and older professionals.

As an instructor and teacher, I offer:

• Lessons at all levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
• A multi-faceted approach, which covers: conversation practice, text comprehension, grammar, writing, academic and professional vocabulary.
• Training in Professional/Business English.
• Preparation for language tests: FCE and CAE Cambridge tests, IELTS, SATs.
• Conversation practice (tailored to the needs of the student).
• Text translation and proofreading.

Approach - I always encourage the student to develop a personal connection to the language by exploring personal interests in English. In my lessons, I favour a practical approach (real-life situations) and use texts, videos and conversation to elicit grammar rules and vocabulary. When necessary, the lesson is focused on grammar rules and the correct use of language. This positive approach, along with regular practice, will definitely improve your English and keep it active in the long term.

Struggling to find someone patient enough to actually talk with you in Chinese? This class is designed to feel less like a lesson and more like a conversation with a friend.

As a native Chinese speaker and university student fluent in English, I bring both linguistic accuracy and genuine empathy. I know firsthand what it’s like to learn a second language, and I’ll treat you like a younger version of myself.

What each session looks like:

• I always come prepared with topics, so you never have to stress about what to say
• We talk freely, you drive the direction, I keep things flowing
• At the end, I give calm, clear corrections so you learn without interruption
• You can also bring homework, writing samples, or reading questions, I’m happy to review anything

My strengths:
✓ Native Mandarin speaker
✓ Fluent in English, no communication barrier
✓ Patient, encouraging, easy to talk to
✓ Rich knowledge of Chinese culture, history, and the Eastern perspective
✓ Always prepared, you just show up and talk

General English: I design the English course based on your personal needs, interests, and motivations. Based on your profile and existing level of English, the course would focus on a specific combination of grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

English for academic purposes: This course would cover the key aspects of English needed in higher education and academic contexts. In addition to grammar and vocabulary, the course trains the key receptive and productive skills needed in higher education. Receptive skills involve reading and listening to academic texts. Productive skills involve writing and speaking for academic purposes (e.g., research papers, research proposals, essays, presentations, and others).
