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.

I specialise in English (British & American) tuition for native and non-native speakers of all ages, and have experience working with:
• young children learning English for the first time
• primary- and secondary-school students studying the English language and its literatures
• adult professionals and seniors wishing to improve their language skills, or develop pronunciation or presentational skills

I have two degrees in English language and literature (B.A. and Mst) from the University of Oxford, and I am also a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) Diploma program. I've developed a creative approach in my sessions with students that involves applying a student's particular talents and interests (regardless of subject) in the process of language acquisition, along with the simultaneous development of critical skills like close and careful reading, argumentation, written style, and effective communication.

I am versed in the requirements and intricacies of a range of national and international diploma programs. When working with students supplementing an academic syllabus, my goal is always to position them to succeed in the assignments and assessments laid out by a primary instructor.

I am an experienced and certified mathematics tutor specializing in a range of curriculums, including AS and A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE, SATs, Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With a proven track record of guiding students to success in these rigorous exams, I understand the unique challenges each curriculum presents. My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.

Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics. This method not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for advanced problem-solving scenarios. I utilize a variety of teaching methods, from visual aids to interactive exercises, to cater to different learning styles and make the subject more relatable.

In my sessions, I focus on developing effective problem-solving strategies. I guide students through step-by-step processes for tackling various types of mathematical problems, helping them to analyze questions critically and approach solutions systematically. This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications. I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, as this fosters a deeper understanding of the material.

I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused. I believe that learning should be a positive experience, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their concerns and challenges.

Throughout my tutoring career, I have seen firsthand the transformative impact of personalized education. Many of my students have achieved outstanding results, including high grades and scholarships, thanks to the tailored support I provide. I take immense pride in their accomplishments, and my dedication to their success is unwavering.

In addition to my expertise in mathematics, I emphasize the importance of a growth mindset. I encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. This perspective not only helps them in their studies but also equips them with resilience that will serve them well in all areas of life.

If you're looking for expert tutoring that delivers outstanding results, I invite you to book a lesson today. Together, we can embark on a journey toward academic excellence in mathematics.

Hello everyone! I'm a professional teacher in different areas that include languages: Chinese (Mandarin), English, Russian. I have been teaching for about 10 years since I started my bachelor’s degree in Chinese studies and world literature in Ukraine. I have also worked as an early childhood educator in Shanghai for over 3 years. I love to work with children of different ages. I like to imply Friedrich Froebel's educational method, when children construct their understanding of the world through direct experience of it in play (free self-activity, creativity, social participation and motor expression). I have experience in both kindergarten and home education. I have also given Russian classes to adults and I can prepare all the necessary materials for you based on your level, but you can also provide your own materials. The courses cover the following areas: general language, oral language, reading and writing.

On request: world literature and creative writing, scientific writing, Chinese calligraphy.

My background:
Bachelor's in Chinese and World Literature (Ukraine)
Master’s in Media & News (China)
Master’s in Art (Germany)

Looking for extra help with English at school? You've come to the right place. I'm happy to help you with all your questions and guide you in practicing the subjects you find difficult. Are you doing really well with speaking, but do you feel like writing is a bit less successful? Then we'll work together on fun assignments to improve your writing skills. So whether you find everything about the subject a bit difficult, or certain subjects such as writing, listening or speaking skills: I'm happy to help you find the way that suits you best to make progress in this. I adapt my lessons to the level and learning style of each student, so that you can achieve your goal as well as possible.

If you have specific questions about your schoolwork or if you have trouble with English at school, it is best to use the material you receive at school in the tutoring as a guideline. I can then supplement this with more assignments and material that suits your level.

I myself went to a bilingual high school and studied English at International Baccalaureate (IB) level. So if you need help practicing for a Cambridge or IB exam, that is also possible!

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested or have any questions.

I offer various types of lessons, fully tailored to your level and learning style. Whether you want to improve your speaking, prepare for an exam, or simply gain more confidence, we'll create a plan together that suits you. Every lesson focuses on practical language use and, above all, speaking a lot.

Study guidance/Tutoring

English doesn't have to be a stumbling block. With a little extra help, you can make much faster progress. In my coaching, I work with students from university (Master's and Bachelor's), universities of applied sciences, intermediate vocational education (MBO), pre-university education (VWO), senior general secondary education (HAVO), and pre-vocational secondary education (VMBO) who face challenges with grammar, reading, listening, writing, and speaking. We address exactly where you struggle—so you truly understand the material and get better grades.

Exam preparation

Prepare for your final English exam (VMBO, HAVO, or VWO) with confidence. Together, we'll practice past exams, discuss common mistakes, and I'll teach you smart strategies to better understand texts and formulate sharper answers. This way, you'll know exactly what to expect and you'll feel confident about your exam.

To speak

Many people know the rules of English quite well, but find it difficult to translate that knowledge into a fluent conversation. In my lessons, you'll practice exactly that. We'll work on pronunciation, sentence structure, and fluency, but above all, on having the courage to speak. With targeted feedback, I'll help you speak English with greater ease and confidence—in any situation.

Pronunciation

Want your English to sound more natural? With a few practical adjustments, you can significantly improve your pronunciation and intonation. In these lessons, you'll learn how to form sounds correctly, use natural rhythm, and avoid typical "Dutch" mistakes. You'll soon notice that your English sounds much more natural.

Grammar

Once you understand how it works, English actually becomes much easier. In my lessons, you'll learn the rules in a comprehensible way and immediately apply them in conversations and exercises. This way, you'll learn not only what's correct, but also why—and that makes all the difference in how natural your English sounds.
