English for Students, Exam Support and Homework Help

From 48.33 C$ /h

I specialise in teaching English at adult level and for students at school. I have helped many children and teens raise their expected grades in the SAT, GED, GRE and GMAT exams.

I am a creative practitioner, with a dynamic and enthusiastic approach. I ensure my lessons are enjoyable and I use the latest resources to plan challenging and engaging lessons that improve attainment at school.

I track the progress of my students and use effective assessment techniques, to find the learning gaps in my student's knowledge and understanding, and then plan precision lessons that target these. As a result, my students always make accelerated progress and often achieve better than expected results

About Me

Hello, I'm Salma. I am an educationalist, teacher and tutor with over ten years experience tutoring students through school examinations and to academic success.

As an Ofsted-graded 'outstanding' teacher I have lead Literacy and Science teams, helped create in-school curriculums and trained teachers and staff in effective Literacy lessons, behaviour management and creativity in the classroom.

I have tutored many children and teenagers, helping them at different stages of their schooling.

My lessons are always engaging and fun. I challenge my students and push them to expand their knowledge and understanding. Targeting different learning styles, I use a variety of different activities and visual and aural materials to bring the subject to life. I am passionate about developing young learners' love for learning and confidence to achieve.

Improve your pronunciation and oral fluency. Increase your vocabulary. Identify how culture influences your speech. You could learn how to make statements, questions and respond to different settings and situations. I am a qualified CELTA teacher (native speaker) and have all the skills to do this. Get in touch!

This class aims to equip the student with a hands on knowledge regarding design. Design is not merely trends and style there is a whole concept and working behind it. You will get a hands on grip on research, mood board, pattern, draping, textile and design communication. If needed an advanced course of photoshop can be given to create technicals.

Are you looking for a qualified native English teacher (British) with extensive teaching and business experience? If so, I would love to help you!

I have a very simple teaching philosophy. Every single lesson must be challenging, rewarding, and fun – as the best way to learn is with a smile on your face. I adapt our lessons together to your unique needs and goals, including:

• improving your accent and pronunciation;
• helping you avoid steenkool English and typical ‘Dunglish’ words;
• broadening your vocabulary; and
• perfecting your use of tenses.

Most important of all, I can help improve your confidence, which is the key to learning any language.

A speciality of mine is Business English, so I can also help with everything from preparing for an interview or speaking in meetings, to giving a presentation.

While my classes are 100% in English, I can also speak Dutch and Spanish. This gives me a real insight as to why students make certain mistakes, and how to best avoid them.

I have years of experience with ESL and have taken multiple courses training myself in the best ways to tutor in ESL. I am happy to teach all ages. I currently teach several adults and numerous younger students. I specialize in students who have recently moved to the Netherlands and have little to no experience with English. I apply a hybrid method of ESL and school curriculum.

After working for four years as a private tutor in Amsterdam for numerous international families, I have discovered a love for teaching Adult ESL. My goal is to not only to teach ESL tailored to life in the Netherlands, but to also offer advice and support to expat adults around life in Amsterdam. I currently work with the parents of many of my students who wish to improve their English. I am a former primary school teacher (International School of Choueifat-Dubai) who now works exclusively as a private tutor. My students are mainly expats, though I also do have several local Dutch students. Having moved around quite a bit, I understand the stress families undergo adapting to a new school system. After four year in Amsterdam, I also now understand the unique stress parents also endure adapting to Dutch culture and regular use of the English language. My teaching methods focus on improving Adult ESL that is tailored specifically to life in the Netherlands. I design my teaching plans, with my students, to cover the most essential aspects of English that are needed to navigate life in Amsterdam. Moreover, I have a deep understanding of how English in the Netherlands differs from conversational English in other countries. I have a grasp of the nuances of both languages and the areas which pose particular difficulty. I really enjoy the motivation of my adult students and the unique friendships I have formed through teaching. I know how isolated some parents who are neither native English nor Dutch speakers feel when moving to Amsterdam.

I am happy to teach all ages either in person or via webcam.

If you,
-have an interest in learning English
-require a passable level of English in order to attend a college or to get a job
-want to improve your competency with the English language

then this class is ideal for your needs.
I can cater to teaching any level of English from beginner to advanced. Teaching has always been a passion for me and I'm sure you will see results if you put the work in. I am a native English speaker from Ireland now studying Business in the Netherlands. I am a fully qualified to teach English as a foreign language. I believe that a supportive, safe environment is ideal for learning a language. I teach through a combination of spoken and written work. In my class I like to focus on usable effective spoken skills over written competency but this balance can be adjusted for any student.
All classes will be taught through English

Maths is a subject which is not only applicable in our academics but also in real life. Making kids love this subject is a challenge, especially for parents. It takes a lot of brainpower to master Maths and this can be tough for kids. Some students may find Maths hard to learn. Thus, I presents here a simple and easy way for kids and higher class students to learn Maths, interestingly. The Maths basics here, becomes the solver to solve fundamental arithmetic calculations.

Learning languages are always more fun when involving an interaction based on personal interests! That's why I could take a more conventional approach to teaching but I prefer an interactive engaging type of class. We can start with basic daily life based conversations to delving into more detailed and specific contexts, to a level where any types of topics can be covered.
I would encourage students and myself to only converse in the language that is being taught. But I could still provide explanation and guidance in either Korean or English!
Please message me for further info!◡̈
