As a musician, you spend a significant amount of time in the practice room. It’s nice to make this time as enjoyable as possible while also maximizing efficiency. In this class, you’ll receive individualized coaching on the structure of your practice time, as well as practice strategies to boost learning.

During a lesson we will work together to assess your goals for practice, what is working well for you, and what areas need improvement. You’ll also learn how to structure your practice time to improve accuracy and help you learn new material faster. The course can be designed as a trajectory over several sessions to meet a long-term practice or performance goal, but you’ll be surprised at just how much the impact of even a single session can make on your playing.

Your brain works hard to strengthen neural pathways and make new connections, both while you practice your instrument and in the days after a practice session. You already think about *what* to practice, let’s consider together *how* you practice.

Hi! My name is Vivianne. I have been living in Amsterdam for two years now and I do love this city! I'm originally Dutch and I have lived in several countries (different places in The Netherlands, Hong Kong, Peru). That feeling of entering a new city is amazing; all those new people, places and beautiful spots but it can also make you a bit insecure about your decisions. Did you choose the right studies or job? You moved for love but what's next? What about new friends? You're not alone, many people around you experience the same. Next to my own experiences, I work as Dutch teacher (Dutch as a second language) and therefore know how 'newcomers' experience their new life. I want to help people feeling happier and content with their decisions. I have a background in (international) marketing, languages and intercultural communication and due to this combination I have a depth intercultural understanding.

So, if you want to talk about...

- Your life in The Netherlands (e.g. studies, job)
- Your decisions (e.g. feelings, emotions regarding any subject)
- Your future plans (e.g. staying in The Netherlands, moving)

And want to feel...

- More confident in your studies / job
- Happier in your personal and social life
- More integrated in the Dutch culture

Without feeling a patient in need of an expensive psychologist/psychiatrist, feel free to contact me. We can have a short intake so you can tell me something about yourself and make a plan for further meetings.

If you're interested in Dutch lessons as well we could, of course, customize the sessions.

Have you been invited to interview at Oxford or Cambridge this coming autumn? Congratulations!

Oxbridge interviews are the make-or-break stage in acceptance into one of these two top-tier universities, and they require a significant amount of preparation and know-how in order to succeed.

Having successfully secured a place for myself to study English Language & Literature at the University of Oxford in 2015, and having been subsequently invited to pursue a Master's degree in English literature on scholarship, I am versed in the intricacies and expectations of the interview process for a range of disciplines.

I work with students across a series of sessions to hone their understanding of what's expected of them during the interview process, to identify their particular strengths and improve on their weakness, and to practice extemporaneous speaking and timed essay-writing and test-taking.

Each course is designed with the candidate in mind, and I can outline a recommended number of sessions and their contents based on an initial session.

Learning Italian is not just about learning a language, it’s understanding a world, a culture, a way of doing but most of all, we will make a travel thru literature, cinema, fine arts.

I have been teaching for 5 years, I have been working in a big library for children, I studied philosophy and I am truly passionated by languages and education.

I can offer a very straight lesson made of lexicon and grammars or a very joyful time with poetry and music.

I’m Juan, certified native Spanish teacher!
To learn a new language you just need to practice, practice and practice again... and have fun in the process!!
So we will TALK about any topic (sports, culture, our hobbies, music, technology, traveling...) and I will give you some tips and corrections when is needed!
Even if you are a begginer or you have high level... you will improve your Spanish. The bigger linguistic immersion the better, what means: talking and listening Spanish as much as you can!

Waiting for you already! :)
