English lessons with a CELTA-qualified native English speaking teacher

From 83 C$ /h

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.

Extra information

I'm flexible and can teach online (on zoom or skype), at a student's residence, or in a café - whatever works best for you.

I give personalized homework so that you get the most out of our lessons together.

About Me

There is no more rewarding work than teaching, and I take real pride in helping people achieve their English learning goals.

As a native English speaker from the South of England, I speak very clearly with a so-called ‘received pronunciation’ accent, which is perhaps best described as ‘BBC English’. This is the accent taught in British language schools, and students therefore find it very easy to understand me.

When I’m not obsessing with English, Dutch, Spanish or Italian, I can normally be found doing something sport-related (I love cycling, running, football, basketball, cricket, tennis… the list goes on!), socialising with friends, hiking or traveling.

My love for language and words extends beyond teaching. I’ve written speeches for CEOs and politicians, and articles for national magazines and newspapers. I’m also currently writing a book about the English language.

My name is Sam and i'm a 28 year old Irish man living in Amsterdam! I have a CELTA certificate in English teaching and over three years of experience giving courses online and privately, both to individual students and groups. My students have been both beginners and advanced learners, with very different reasons for learning the language! I also have a speaking level of the French language!

To begin, we can find your needs and objectives for learning English and from there we can progress in our work together! I have a degree in Criminal Justice studies and another diploma in Social studies, so if you're needs are specific to law/humanities I can meet any needs - I have also taught tech English and business English with many of my students.

Personally, I am a writer, currently working on my first book I hope to publish! I love creativity and anything to do with languages, which helps me to create courses that are interesting for any student - I have a patient, kind and understanding approach to learning English that helps my students to feel relaxed enough to make those extra steps necessary to improve! If you are interested, send me a message and we can discuss your needs and see if we would be a good team together! I

I’m a native English speaker from the US and a former international school teacher with over eight years of private tutoring experience in Amsterdam. I teach adults and children, from complete beginners to people who already speak English but want to feel more comfortable using it. I’ve also completed additional training in teaching English as a second language.

I especially enjoy teaching adults. You might want to feel more comfortable speaking with your child’s teachers, meeting new people, making appointments or using English at work. We’ll talk about what you need English for and build our lessons around that, with time for conversation as well as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and writing.

Having moved countries myself, I understand how tiring it can be to settle somewhere new when everyday conversations take extra effort. Lessons are a place to practise, ask questions and work through things you find difficult without feeling rushed. You’re welcome to bring along an email you need to write, something you’ve heard but didn’t understand, or a situation you’d like to practise for. I’m also happy to share what I’ve learned from living in Amsterdam over the years.

For children and teenagers, I combine English teaching with their schoolwork, helping them develop the language they need to understand lessons, complete assignments and participate in class. I’ve worked with students in Dutch, British and other international schools, and have particular experience supporting children who are new to learning in English. I also specialise in working with students with ADHD and other learning differences.

Before moving to Amsterdam, I taught Grades 1 and 2 at the International School of Choueifat in Dubai. Alongside tutoring, I now work as a writer and editor. I hold a BA from UCLA and an MSc from the University of Amsterdam.

Lessons are available in person in Amsterdam or online. Feel free to send me a message about your current level and what you’d like help with!

With English being a world language it has become an integral part of our society, especially in work and study related areas. Taking on English lessons with me will help you prepare for any language obstacles you have had up until now. My teaching methods vary from client to client and depend on their current language skills; writing essay type reports for school, reading and understanding the book all your friends talk about, or just to be able to have a fluent conversation, whatever the problem we can work through it together.

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!
