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. From teaching Reading to underachieving year 1 children, to supporting secondary school students in their Math and Science examinations, I bring with me the latest resources in education and techniques to ensure success.

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!

I’m a former primary school teacher with over eight years of private tutoring experience in Amsterdam. I’ve worked with students attending Dutch, British and other international schools, including the British School and ISA, and am familiar with the different curricula and expectations.

I specialise in working with students with ADHD and other learning differences. Alongside teaching the subject, I help with the things that can make schoolwork difficult: getting started, staying focused, organising assignments and knowing what to do when you feel stuck. This might mean breaking work into smaller steps, trying a different explanation or taking a break before coming back to a problem. I take the time to get to know each student and understand what works for them.

I teach maths, English and other primary school subjects, with particular experience supporting children who are learning in English as a second language. Students come to me for different reasons: some need help keeping up at school, some have lost confidence, and others enjoy a subject and want more of a challenge. I want them to feel comfortable asking questions and saying when something doesn’t make sense.

Having moved between countries myself, I also understand how much students have to adjust when they enter a new school system. I can help them work through unfamiliar material and expectations while they settle in.

Before moving to Amsterdam, I taught all subjects in Grades 1 and 2 at a private international school in Dubai. I’m American and a native English speaker, with a BA in Sociology from UCLA and an MSc in Medical Anthropology and Sociology from the University of Amsterdam. I also work as a writer and editor, and support secondary school and university students with essay planning, academic writing and research.

Lessons are available in Amsterdam or online. Feel free to send me a message with your child’s age, school and what you’re looking for help with!

An additional travel fee applies to lessons at your home if the journey is more than 20 minutes by bike.

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.

In mathematics, you can learn basic geometry, and algebra, and progress to the level of applied mathematics, including calculus, differential equations, and more.

Similarly, in physics, you can expect to cover topics ranging from the fundamentals to advanced levels. As I hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering, I can provide assistance in engineering subjects such as heat transfer, thermodynamics, and more.

Furthermore, I have a master's degree in Photovoltaic Systems (solar energy), so I can offer guidance and help in this field as well.

In mathematics there are always steps to understanding and mastering all the material. To do that, I will give you steps to master mathematics and be able to apply it in all tests and even exams.

I myself did pre-university education, where I ended the school period with an 8.3 for mathematics A and then also an 8.6 for the final exam.

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!◡̈

Are you struggling with math or do you want to improve your grade? In this tutoring I will help you step by step to really understand math. We will work together on the topics that you find difficult, such as fractions, equations, graphs or probability calculations.

The lessons are personal and at your pace, so that you can take tests and assignments with more confidence. Whether you are in high school or following an MBO course, I ensure that the explanation matches your level and learning style.

During the tutoring you will receive useful tips, exercises and explanations in understandable language. Together we ensure that mathematics is no longer a stumbling block, but something you have control over.

Help with understanding and completing assignments, or potentially deeper knowledge. I focus heavily on practice and doing; I believe that works best for these subjects. Also, delving deeper into the purpose of everything you learn, and how it can be much more fun than it all seems.
