Following the needs I can focus on Grammar, vocabulary, conjugation, etc. I like to develop my classes with introduction to French culture such as cinema and music. I think it is a nice way to enhance the motivation of the student to learn by himself.

In this course we will begin with an intake interview in which I assess your level and discuss your needs. Following this, I will develop a course to meet your aims.

Everybody's wishes are different. You may want to develop your fluency, broaden your vocabulary, or work on your grammar. Or perhaps you would like to improve your pronunciation or writing skills. It could be a combination of these.

As a highly qualified and vastly experienced teacher I have the necessary skills to be able to draw up a course and find the appropriate resources to aid your progress.

During the course you will get the practice, feedback and guidance needed to improve your English level. At the end of each lesson I will give you homework so that you can continue your practice between sessions and at the beginning of the next lesson I will check your homework with you to make sure you are keeping on track!

Ready when you are! 😊

I have successfully completed 6 VWO and passed an English Cambridge exam.
Currently, I am a law student with a passion for languages, geology and history and I like to share the knowledge - in peace and with full understanding of the student - and together I look for the best method to make this work!

I have been working as a tutor for primary and secondary school students for more than 5 years and have experience with people / children who have difficult learning, have little motivation or where the penny has just not yet fallen.

The importance is to see your weakness and your strengths Because each ability it's quite different (hablar, escuchar, escribir, leer)
I like to focus on the conversational part and listening without disregarding the writing and reading skills.
I prefer to use slides, videos and images to understand the lesson.


Feel free to contact me for your Spanish or Biology lessons!

I am a native English and Italian speaker, and I have worked as a tutor and language teacher over the past ten years, while also studying History and Cultural Heritage. My experience includes teaching English language courses at different levels, preparing for language exams, conversation practice, as well as text translation and correction. My past customers range from teenage and adult students, to young and older professionals.


As an instructor and teacher, I offer:

• Lessons at all levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
• A multi-faceted approach, which covers: conversation practice, text comprehension, grammar, writing, academic and professional vocabulary.
• Training in Professional/Business English.
• Preparation for language tests: FCE and CAE Cambridge tests, IELTS, SATs.
• Conversation practice (tailored to the needs of the student).
• Text translation and proofreading.


Approach - I always encourage the student to develop a personal connection to the language by exploring personal interests in English. In my lessons, I favour a practical approach (real-life situations) and use texts, videos and conversation to elicit grammar rules and vocabulary. When necessary, the lesson is focused on grammar rules and the correct use of language. This positive approach, along with regular practice, will definitely improve your English and keep it active in the long term.
