language classes (Dutch, English, German, Spanish), exam preparation & life coaching/ motivation
From 23.15 £ /h
You would like to learn a language from scratch, brush up on your skills, or take it to the next level? You need to prepare for a language exam? You black out during written and/or oral exams? You're not sure about what to do next in life? Do you feel overwhelmed? Life feels empty? You don't know your strengths?
Then you have come to the right place! I'm a certified teacher, and have worked for many years at different schools with hundreds of students. There are many ways to teach a lesson. I'm a lover of a varied approach whenever applicable. I can honestly say that I will always do my very best to find suitable methods in order to facilitate comprehension and learning.
Over the course of a lesson, I might use audio files, videos, transcripts, books, worksheets or custom-tailored exercises that I feel are best suited for that particular student. Likewise, I will also train conversation - practical or otherwise.
I highly value being kind, patient, modest and encouraging. I always strive to create an environment that fosters a positive feeling. An inviting atmosphere is essential for learning anything at all. I welcome mistakes students make because it's normal to do so, plus that is one of the best ways to learn something properly.
Students are different, and all have their own individual needs and expectations. I see myself as someone who is guiding them along their chosen path. Occasionally prompting them to discover (the beauty of) a concept here and there they might have overlooked otherwise. Helping them to develop long-term strategies that will make them feel accomplished and self-assured.
I have helped many students when it comes to navigating through life. Whether they have a troubled past or current problems. My goal is not to replace professional counseling. However, I have come across certain patterns and behaviors throughout the years. I have been told many times that my approach of dealing with students has motivated them to overcome challenges, and to improve their situation. I'd be delighted to do the same for you!
