French Grammar and French conversation, culture, exercices, questions, translations

76.65 C$ /h

I take into account the way of learning of each person and I adapt the class to the needs of the students.
I offer classes that are various and interesting, we use articles, videos, exercises, and conversations on topics that are meaningful to you. Your progress, motivation, and fun is of great importance to me!

Besides helping you to become more fluent in French, I have a passion for French Grammar.
I have been teaching French for more than 15 years and I enjoy explaining difficult things in a simple way with clear examples. I can answer any question about French Grammar or make you practice what you know in theory.

For beginners, I use the book Alter Ego+ A1 with which I had great results over the years.
For advanced students, I use mainly videos and conversation.
I can help you to prepare the DELF as I am an official examiner.

Learn Astrology privately or have your chart analyzed

153.3 C$ /h

I've been reading and explaining Astrological charts for 30 years. I can read and analyze your chart based on your date of birth, I like even better to teach Astrology so you learn to interpret yourself. Astrology is a fascinating symbolic system that gives great insight and self-knowledge.
A reading includes a chart interpretation with strengths and challenges and about 1 year of forecast.
I also do readings for relationships (partners, child and parent, business partners, potential partners...)
Don't hesitate to contact me for more information.

1. Who am I?
My name is Xiaolin(小林) which means little forest. I'm not only a native Chinese speaker but also my major is Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. I worked as a university lecturer in China and was depatured by the Ministry of Education of China to Europe to teach Chinese in the university. So far, I've been teaching Chinese to foreigners of all ages for around 12 years both at the school or as a tutor.

2. What kind of course do I offer?
As Confucius said "因材施教” which means " teaching students in accordance of their aptitude". I'll customize the courses and according to your learning target and your nature. Besides the time spent on the course, I could also answer your questions about Chinese learning or give you some inspiring tips to help you get to know the authentic China. I'm also good at cooking Chinese cuisine. If you're interested in that, I could cook you some real Chinese food or teach you how to cook your favourite Chinese dish:)

3. What about my former students?
I still keep in touch with most of my former students. Some work for Chinese companies or Chinese related organizations, some work as interpreters and a student openned an English school in China to teach Chinese kids English.
A young boy I started to tutor him when he was 2, now can comunicate with Chinese people spontaneously after 2 years learning. An adult student moved to Shanghai to live with his Chinese girlfriend( they got married last year in Otc.) and another 22 years old boy got to Chengdu to study in Sichuan university majoring in international trade. Too many stories to tell...

Whether you are leaving school, seeking promotion or looking for a job. Career services is a subject undervalued and yet so important. I teach personal development for individuals or groups, cv writing, presentation skills, communication, networking, and marketing yourself, using social media plus much more. Have you ever had to give a speech in front of an audience and felt ever so nervous, do you need to write better letters for internships or jobs, this is where I take you through the process with all the skills required to make you feel more comfortable, positive and dynamic than previously, easier said than done you may think. Class groups contain interactive lively activities whereas 1-1 consultations are a deeper focus on your personal goals. If you need a motivational speech on video or need to know how to start a business up with minimum funds then these are all areas we can help you with. A 1-hour consultation will go over the time slightly however any extra time is all free.

English is the main language of the world; it is a language in which most people communicate with each other. Most podcasts, books, films and series are often made in this beautiful language. That is why it is very important nowadays to be able to speak and listen well in English. You really can't start studying English early enough. That's why I'm here for you, if you want to take your English to the next level - however young or old you are. In my lessons we will work with this important and special language as much as possible via webcam or at a location somewhere in Amsterdam or at your home; vocabulary, speaking skills, accents, interesting texts we will all go through and practice very well with me as a teacher so that you can also converse flawlessly in English!!

Hey! My name’s Lena and I’m a Graphic Design University student from Spain. I’m moving to the Netherlands this summer and thought it would be a good idea to use my spare time to teach Spanish! My lessons would be based on conversation, no boring textbooks or anything like that. I also don’t mind what your current Spanish level is! Even if you don’t speak a word it can be fun to learn little by little! I’ve also tutored English before, but never Spanish so I think this would be a good opportunity to teach others my mother tongue and show you my culture !! I have a part time job, so we can schedule our meetings around them, also we can just work it out so it suits you as well.
(lessons can be online or in person)

Ciao! I am a native Italian and English speaker and I have been teaching teenagers and adults in the last ten years. A History, Cultural Heritage and Chemistry graduate, I am especially passionate about linguistics and different cultures!

Our conversation lessons will help you learn and practice your Italian, whether you are a beginner or want to perfect the language. Topics will be tailored to your needs and can range from basic scenarios to more specific ones (professional, travel or cultural context). When necessary we can focus on specific grammar rules and expand vocabulary that is more important to you.

Approach - I always encourage the student to develop a personal connection to the language by exploring personal interests and real-life language use. In my lessons, I favour a flexible approach and encourage regular practice, which will definitely help you to develop your Italian and keep it active in the long run.

Bonjour,

I'm of mixed French and Polish origins and I've been living in Paris for many years. I hold a PhD degree in French Literature from Sorbonne University and I've been teaching French and English since 2013. During my class, you will learn how to communicate effectively - and in order to speak, you'll need to practice! I have a passion for French culture, literature, music, film and theatre, and I believe that it's through culture and experiencing the language directly in everyday life that you really immerse yourself in a language. I train also for exams and DELF/DALF. Apart from this, I work as a tour guide specialised in French medieval architecture and a week-end trip to Paris (sightseeing included!) can be planned during the course to immerse in French language, cinema, food and beautiful Parisian museums. Practicing French in French boulangeries, restaurants and bookshops in Amsterdam can be planned as well. If you're interested in more than practicing speaking and pronunciation skills, we can alternate the grammar/writing classes (held at home) and conversation classes (held anywhere!). We'll use news, social media, Netflix and much more. À bientôt !
