Private tutoring and guidance for special needs children

From 48.32 C$ /h

Drawing upon a decade of dedicated service as an AMI Montessori educator, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to the world of early childhood education. Specialising in children aged 3 to 6, I am committed to creating a nurturing and stimulating learning environment.

In addition to my Montessori expertise, I hold a degree in special needs education. This educational background equips me to provide curated support for children with diverse learning requirements, ensuring a welcoming and stimulating environment for every child during my sessions.

Beyond my classroom experience, I also offer private tutoring. This allows me to work closely with individual children, addressing their specific needs and fostering their intellectual and personal growth.

About Me

I followed the bachelor's degree of Special Needs Education in the Open University of Sri Lanka. There I learned about educational technology for special needs students, the values of primary education, child rights and educational management. I also possess knowledge on how to adapt my school curriculum in an inclusive classroom. I also did many teaching practice sessions to develop my own teaching methodologies. I attained the DETE at the University of Colombo. Here I was educated on more advanced English reading, writing, speech, listening and literature concepts. I followed CPTE at the Institute of Western Music and Speech, in which I further sharpened my language skills. I also followed AMI at the Good Shepherd Maria Montessori Center, Sri Lanka, where I gained the practice and principles of the Montessori method for children.
I was a primary teacher in Colombo International school-Srilanka(CIS), in Good Shepherd Montessori House of children(as an AMI Montessori Teacher), and also Sunflower International Primary School as a Montessori Teacher.
Teaching is a very demanding profession, and as per my experience, I see my students succeed and gain positive results regularly. It is no secret that I'm greatly driven by their hard work and achievements. Sometimes I have come across children who are uninterested and very distracted in a learning environment but I as an educator use versatile educational strategies to encourage the hidden talents of students.

English Language Tutor, AMI Montessori Guide, Special Needs Educator

48.32 C$ /h

As a passionate and versatile primary school teacher with an impactful 13-year journey in education, I wholeheartedly believe in the potential and innate talents of every child. My adventure began in Sri Lanka and led me to the Netherlands in 2018, where I've continued my mission of finding innovative ways to work with children. Currently, I'm teaching as a Montessori educator, specialising in the care and education of children aged three to six years.

I have experience in educating children in different roles as a Montessori guide, a primary school teacher, a private tutor catering to individual children's needs, and a qualified special needs teacher. These different roles have sharpened my skills and improved my ability to cater to each child's individual needs.

In addition to my experience as an educator, I also have conducted private music lessons in piano and organ for children between the ages of 3 and 10. With a gentle and patient approach tailored to each child's unique needs and age, I introduce them to the enchanting world of music. These private lessons offer young learners the opportunity to discover their creativity and the joy of playing and listening to musical instruments.

In my English language classes, I focus on enhancing the vocabulary, reading, writing skills, and grammar. But here's where it gets exciting: I also bring the flair of a qualified speech and drama teacher into my teaching strategies. This dynamic approach infuses creativity, expression, and interactivity into the language-learning process.

If you're looking for a teacher, you've found a fun, active, and incredibly patient one. I tailor my English lessons using programs to suit the levels and requirements of each child. My goal is to make learning a joyous adventure, ensuring that they not only excel in English but also develop essential speaking skills and confidence. Together, we'll embark on a journey of growth and learning that caters to the unique potential of your child.

Enhancing English skills for diverse learners, ex-pats, and ages 3 and above

48.32 C$ /h

As a dedicated primary school teacher with more than a decade of experience, I'm all about making learning an adventure for children. I wholeheartedly believe that every child is a little genius in the making, and I'm here to help them shine and communicate fluently in a world-wide language.

My teaching mission? Boosting those English skills! We're diving into the exciting world of vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking and grammar. But here's the twist: I'm not your typical English teacher. I'm also a certified speech and drama educator. So, we're not just learning; we're acting it out, playing with words, and having a wonderful learning experience along the way.

To add to that, I also have good experience in tutoring expat families. I get that moving to a new country can be a whirlwind, especially for the little ones. But with my guidance, your child will not only have a good command of English but also increase in confidence in their communication skills.

So, let's make learning English a fun and fantastic journey for your child. Whether it is through books, games, or a little bit of drama, I'm here to ignite their passion for the language and help them become adept in expressing themselves.

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.

Hello! I’m Mahmood and I currently live in Gouda (South-Holland). I came to The Netherlands some time ago. As an Expat I know how tough it is to learn a new language, especially the Dutch language with its tough pronunciations and sentence structures. Being an Expat I understand much better what the challenges are that other Expats needs to go through to learn Dutch

I am specialized in preparing Expats and other immigrants for the Basic Civil Integration Examination (Basisexamen Inburgering). I can also teach about the Dutch social culture and History of The Netherlands.

Also I teach Dutch till A2 level or to the people who like to learn Dutch as a hobby.

I teach one on one as well as to Groups (I provide discount for Groups).

What can I teach you? :
- Read and Write in Dutch
- Sound like a Native Speaker
- Participate in Basic Conversations and Use Daily Phrases
- Understand and Pick Up on Basic Conversations

My method of teaching:

i) Starting discussion
At the start, we will discuss your level and objectives. This way I can efficiently give you the help that you need.

ii) Open communication
I have an open way of teaching in which I encourage students to keep telling me what their difficulties are or where they would like to improve. In my experience, this saves a lot of time and also makes the lessons more fun.

iii) Simplify instead of complicate
I am good at listening and understanding why students are having difficulties with certain issues. The thing in which I’m best is explaining complicated things in a simple way.

To live and reside in the Netherlands a certain level of Dutch is not only handy but also necessary if you want to have a job. As part of the process to become a Dutch national, you need a basic level of Dutch, being A1 to B2.

I am a certified Dutch teacher with 6 years of teaching experience. Besides teaching Dutch to Dutch high -school pupils in the years 1- 4 mavo/ havo/ vwo, I also have extensive experience teaching Dutch to expats/ foreigners.
I am therefore familiar with the “inburgeringsexamen” and the NT2 curriculum (Dutch for foreigners) for those who want to reside in the Netherlands.

I am very knowledgeable and teach with passion, creativity and enthousiasm. I love the Dutch language and teaching it to others, as well as interacting with all types of cultures and age ranges.

Structured (extra) lessons and homework guidance at every level.
The lesson starts with mapping the material to be treated in that lesson (Magister).
After this, we proceed to complete the relevant assignments or acquire specific knowledge for test work, test, etc.

We work until it is finished.

Economics and business economics are the foundation for furthering your career in finance. Mathematics (calculation) is a prerequisite for continuing your studies at a university of applied sciences (HBO), as the foundation is crucial.

With almost five years of experience, I help students overcome their barriers. Every student is unique and has their own learning method. Each student receives a different learning approach. Each lesson includes homework and theory. I also incorporate real-world examples. The lessons are tailored to each student's needs.

So if you would like to begin your Ukrainian language and culture journey, or are looking to delve into a more specific topic, I will be happy to help you on your way.

My goal is to make Ukrainian language and culture more accessible and familiar, and to make your communication with Ukrainian speakers more fun and direct.
