I offer informal, welcoming, and enjoyable classes in a safe and respectful environment. I use interactive ways of teaching with a focus on practice, which is the best way to improve one's fluency and confidence! I can help you with:

- Language tuition: I will assess your current language level and tailor the class to your specific needs with structured exercises and lessons based on your own learning goals; I will help you improve your conversational and writing abilities by reading different texts, writing small essays, and using an interactive and game-based teaching format.

- Academic skills: I also offer help with general learning & study skills (such as setting up a study agenda and developing learning goals/habits); academic writing in English from undergraduate to post-graduate level; preparation for oral presentations. I also proofread writing assignments (dissertations, essays, etc.).

- General skills: I can also support you in your job/study applications and CV writing process.

I am a well-traveled, tolerant, and friendly person who loves meeting new people. Message me for more information to discuss your needs and expectations! :)

Sandra
Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities.

Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.

I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.
