Do you feel that people have problems understanding you? Or perhaps you feel less confident at work due to your accent. As it is not phonetic, English is a tricky language to pronounce!

I am a Native British CELTA qualified English teacher with over 8 years of experience. In the last 5 years, I have helped dozens of students to improve their pronunciation and even develop a British accent.
During these classes, I can help you to do the same!
This takes place through studying sounds, phonics, mouth placement, listening and lots and lots of practice. All classes are tailored to your own pronunciation and accent needs. Learning pronunciation is really fun and can even help you to sound better in your native tongue!

I have had great success with students in helping them to speak much clearer and more authentically. After a good amount of training, some students are even able to pass as native speakers!
Although I am a British English speaker, I do have knowledge of American English accents and can help you to develop a more 'international sound' which may be more suitable for your needs.

I currently have hours available for classes online due to COVID-19 restrictions. Working online via Zoom is great! We can use lots more media tools, focus directly on mouth formation and I have had lots of success with it.

About Me
I am a Native British Teacher originally from Brighton, UK. I am enthusiastic, hardworking and fun-loving and I bring these qualities with me into all areas of life!

I have over 8 years experience teaching English as A Second Language around the world to many different ages (from 6-60+) and covering many topics (pronunciation, grammar, business English, writing, reading, conversational etc). I have also worked on curriculum development and Cambridge Certified exams. Currently, I specialise in British English pronunciation and accent development and, business English.

I also have over 6 years of experience as a private academic Tutor. I primarily coach Master's and Bachelor's students providing essay and thesis support including organisation, proofreading, editing and reading. With my help, in under 6 months, students have increased their average grade from 50% - 82%.

I have a deep affection for education, learning and exploring language. I am able to tailor my lessons based on a mixture of student assessment, learning style and requirements. I work closely with students to ensure they receive what they need from every session.

I am extremely flexible with times, dates and rates. I am able to travel within Amsterdam to students' homes or mutual places such as libraries to run lessons. Please contact me and let's have a chat!

I offer individually tailored lessons in English, drawing on my extensive experience researching and teaching the subject at the University of Cambridge — from which I am about to obtain a PhD, have an MPhil, and where I have for the past almost four years also provided instruction and dissertation supervision to undergraduate students across a wide variety of modules (including both more general courses within literary and linguistic history, theory and analysis, such as 'Practical Criticism & Critical Practice I' and 'II', and more specialist courses within texts and contexts of the period 1830–Present, such as 'English Literature & Its Contexts 1830–1945', 'English Literature & Its Contexts 1870–Present' and others) and assessed applicant entrance examinations (including as part of the 'Cambridge English Language Aptitude Test' and 'Cambridge Modern Languages Aptitude Test').

I am especially capable of not only teaching within the subject (or for the purposes of written and/or oral examinations within it), but also improving students' critical and analytical capabilities, and ensuring they can effectively read, analyse, research and write about texts in the arts and humanities, whether for the purposes of examinations or coursework (having assisted across a number of MA dissertations, BA dissertations, papers and assignments, EPQs, EEs, IAs, and other extended pieces of independent work — from those in literature and language to those in political and social studies, with essential academic skills being, after all, highly transferable).
