I am originally from Vietnam, but I currently live in The Netherlands where I recently completed a Masters degree. I would like to help those who want to learn Vietnamese. I have experience as a Vietnamese tutor, and I understand the challenges of learning a foreign language through my own experience learning English and Dutch.
Through my extensive experience training and mentoring student interns and employees at Asia Commercial Bank, I have developed strong communication skills and effective motivation strategies. Most importantly, I am patient and able to develop trusting relationships with students and colleagues.

Are you planning to visit Greece soon and you wanna learn some basic Greek? do you wanna learn some Greek just for fun or to improve your knowledge? I am Maria and I am from Thessaloniki, north part of Greece and the second-largest city in the country. I am a violinist and violin teacher recently graduated from Codarts University of the arts. I am a native Greek speaker. Together we can discover the beauty of the Greek language, the culture the history and whatever you wish for!

Speaking is the most important part while you learn a language. So i suggest to speak Greek as much as you can. No matter if you do mistakes! we learn from them! I keep our conversations very natural 'cause i want to make the student feel confortable speaking Greek. We can talk about anything you want! But of course except speaking part we work also on the grammar, reading, pronunciation & writing. Step by step you will become fluent in Greek! Trust me!

Would you like to learn a new skill? You've come to the right place. I am Portuguese and I am fluent in this fantastic language. During my Portuguese lessons you will not only learn the language, but I will also enrich your knowledge about Portuguese culture: Portuguese customs and superstitions for example. I use a teaching method that covers spelling, vocabulary and pronunciation of the words. The latter is often missing in other courses and tutoring. Together we will ensure that you have a good command of the Portuguese language!

I specialize in teaching Greek to beginners and intermediate students, providing them the foundation to master this difficult language. I cover topics such as word order, grammar, spoken vs. written Greek, conversational and every day Greek, as well as spelling, writing, and pronunciation. Each class can be tailored to the students individual needs. This class is for anybody who just wants to improve speaking/writing, as well as for those just starting out.
Lessons can be given online, or in person.
Greek is a language that is increasingly spoken, and is useful in many aspects of life, including but not limited to: biology, geometry, medical terminology, etc. With Greece's economy growing, it is an ideal destination to move either as an expat, digital nomad, or as a startup company. I look forward to helping you on your journey of acquiring this language!

Who? I am a twenty-eight-year-old French and U.S. Anthropology student. I am trained in FLE (French as a Second Language) and have worked for the National French Education Ministry as a Middle School Teacher on the beautiful island of Mayotte. Following that exotic experience, I decided to change course and study Anthropology all the while teaching French as a Second Language on a freelance basis. I moved to the Netherlands just recently and have decided to continue practicing as a French tutor. I have also tutored English classes in France for five years.

What? I offer French or FLE (French as a Second Language) courses based on multiple sources and I regularly renew them because it is important to be in adequacy with today's society. As I just started learning Dutch, I teach in English all the while aiming for 90% French during the class.

Where? Normally I go to the learner's home. For the moment, online courses are also popular.

When? I work every day of the week.

I am currently a third year student in pre-med at Erasmus University College, and a second year in mechanical engineering at TU Delft. I am proficient in teaching in English and can explain stuff in Dutch, but at a slightly slower pace as it is my second language. I can essentially tutor all STEM subjects with a week's notice due to my coursework in almost all field but here is a list I am most comfortable with: Mathematics, Physics, Biology (not plant biology), Chemistry, Computer science (Matlab and Python), principles of engineering design (including SolidWorks) and Economics. My previous experience with teaching is both at a university level as an education and research assistant for Behavioural Economics, and as a part-time high school teacher for biology and Mathematics.
In my free time, I like to play tennis and grab a drink with my friends – I am extremely compassionate, but I value my time and hope that you can match my enthusiasm in class. I did the IB program in high school and scored a 42.
