Certified experienced Spanish tutor / Graduated Spanish teacher - Native speaker - 24 years - Unique and effective teaching method -

From 58 C$ /h

Hello! My name is Sten Mulder Gaton, 23 years old and a Spanish Teacher HBO student.
I started giving Spanish tutoring in 2022, and that's when I discovered that I really enjoy it!

By now, I have tutored all kinds of students, from first-year high school students to retirees, from the unemployed to investors, from Indonesians to Americans (this means I can also teach in English). What the students enjoy most about the lessons is the energy I put into them, which motivates them and, of course, leads to good results.

From the age of one to eight, I lived in various parts of Spain, which means I speak the language fluently and recognize the differences well. You will not only receive help with the Spanish language, but also learn a bit of history and the connection between Spanish and other languages; these are taught using mnemonics that are guaranteed to help you make tremendous progress in learning Spanish!

I am a very friendly, helpful, and social person; I have always enjoyed interacting with people. This also creates a good atmosphere during the lesson, which I find very important.

My teaching style is unique compared to the teachers I have worked with. I focus purely on your learning goal, without difficult grammar exercises. I also teach you handy reading methods and use 'psychological' tricks so that you learn Spanish at a rapid pace!

In my experience, a 2-hour lesson is the maximum duration. After 2 hours of lessons, your concentration decreases. I try to teach you as many different aspects of the Spanish language (and appropriately, the History and Geography of Spain) as possible within that time.

What really motivates me about tutoring is the joy I see in the students and the progress they make. This makes me incredibly proud and determined to continue teaching the Spanish language. I am also taking Module C (highest level) at the Instituto Cervantes, which provides me with tips on teaching and conveying the material. This module provides me with a certificate as compensation.

So what are you waiting for? You are guaranteed not to find cheaper and better tutoring anywhere else! Send me a message :)

Cheers!

Extra information

Lessons are taught in a goal-oriented manner:

Do you need to learn Spanish for your exam? Then I will teach you exam-focused Spanish.

Do you have a Spanish oral exam coming up soon? Then I will teach you Spanish vocabulary suitable for gifted children and we will practice your pronunciation.

Are you in love with someone who speaks Spanish? Or are you moving to a Spanish-speaking country soon? Then I will teach you Spanish at a rapid pace using a unique learning method WITHOUT complicated grammar lessons!

The point is that whatever your goal may be, I guarantee I will help you move forward :) Lessons can also be given in English!

About Me

Hi! My name is Sten Mulder Gaton, 23 years old and a university of applied sciences (HBO) student training to become a Spanish teacher. I started giving Spanish tutoring in 2022, and that's when I discovered how much I genuinely love doing this!

By now I've taught all kinds of students — from first-year secondary school kids to retirees, from unemployed people to investors, from Indonesians to Americans (which means I can also teach in English). What students enjoy most about the lessons is the energy I bring, which motivates them and, of course, leads to good results.

From my first to my eighth year, I lived in different parts of Spain, which means I speak the language fluently and have a strong sense for its regional differences. You won't just get help with the Spanish language — you'll also pick up a bit of history and learn how Spanish connects to other languages. I teach these connections using mnemonic tricks that are guaranteed to help you make real progress in learning Spanish!

I'm a very friendly, helpful, and social person — I've always loved interacting with people. That also creates a great atmosphere during lessons, which I think is really important.

My teaching style is unique compared to other teachers I've worked with. I focus purely on your learning goals, without tedious grammar drills. I also teach you handy reading methods and use "psychological" tricks so you learn Spanish at a fast pace!

In my experience, a 2-hour lesson is the maximum length — after that, concentration starts to drop. Within that time, I try to teach you as many different aspects of the Spanish language as possible (and, fittingly, some Spanish history and geography too).

What motivates me most about tutoring is seeing the happiness in my students and the progress they make. That makes me incredibly proud and determined to keep sharing the Spanish language. I'm also currently doing a Module C (the highest level) at the Instituto Cervantes, which gives me tips on teaching and delivering material, and rewards me with a certificate upon completion.

So what are you waiting for? You won't find cheaper, better tutoring anywhere else, guaranteed! Send me a message :)

Saludos!

Hey there! Get ready to jump into the world of Italian with me – Roberta- your go-to person for Italian language (yes, including hand gestures!)

I have a background in diplomacy and international relations but a deep love for communications and languages.
My classes are tailored to your needs.
We do an assessment during the first chat and then we choose together the right method: classes with a mix of audio, and video lessons and or just a lot of conversation covering phrases, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. And guess what? It's not just learning; if you come to my house it's a blast through Italian food too! :)

By the end, you'll be rocking phrases like "Supercalifragilistichespiralidoso" and tossing around Italian words like a pro.
🎉 Ci vediamo presto!

English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills.

Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid.

In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals.

Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

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.

Depending on your request, the class can focus on the improvement of your oral or written competencies. If you want to learn grammar or master your letter writing or comprehension skills, we will work on that. In case you want to maintain the level of your understanding and oral abilities, we will improve that.

I have been teaching English for nearly 25 years. I teach exclusively online (via Teams).

I am TEFL certified. I also have the TEFL - TBE (TEFL Certificate in Teaching Business English) and the TEFL - TEYL (TEFL Certificate in Teaching English to Young Learners) certificates.

Selon votre demande, la classe peut se concentrer sur l'amélioration de vos compétences orales ou écrites. Si vous souhaitez apprendre la grammaire, maîtrisez vos compétences en écriture ou compréhension, nous travaillerons à ce sujet. Dans le cas où vous souhaitez maintenir le niveau de compréhension et les capacités orales, nous améliorerons cela.

J'enseigne l'anglais depuis près de 25 ans maintenant. J'enseigne exclusivementpar webcam (par Teams).

Je suis certifié TEFL. J'ai également les certificats TEFL-TBE (certificat d'enseignement de l'anglais des affaires) et TEFL-TEYL (certificat d'enseignement de l'anglais aux jeunes apprenants).

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.

Hello all,
Spanish and French are my mother tongues. I have been teaching for many years in my spare time either in the evenings or during weekends. I simply like to do it and enjoy helping people of all ages either to start talking or reaching a good level. I use grammar books but also online exercises or games on paper depending on the needs and profile of the student.

Hello! My name is Marta, and I am a native Spanish speaker from Spain living in Amsterdam.

I offer fun, engaging and personalized Spanish lessons for children up to 12 years old. My goal is to help children learn Spanish naturally while enjoying the process and building confidence.

Every child learns differently, so I adapt each lesson to their age, personality and level. I use games, stories, songs, conversations and interactive activities to make learning enjoyable and effective.

Whether your child is completely new to Spanish, has Spanish-speaking family members, or simply wants to learn a new language, I will create lessons that keep them motivated and excited to learn.

My lessons focus on:
• Speaking and listening skills
• Vocabulary through play and everyday situations
• Correct pronunciation
• Reading and writing (when appropriate)
• Building confidence in a relaxed and positive environment

Lessons are available:
• Online
• In person in Amsterdam

I believe children learn best when they feel comfortable, encouraged and have fun. I look forward to helping your child discover the Spanish language!
