About Me
Hi!
I am Nicole, 42 years old, cheerful, sweet and patient language teacher.
I have many years of experience teaching language classes to all kinds of people and groups.
My students indicate that they like my lessons so much because I have so much patience, also with people who do not have any language skills, because I bring freedom in how, when and what we do with the lessons and materials, and that I'm flexible in terms of homework and times and in consultation, and that I am always available for questions. In addition, I am an expert at explaining grammar in a clear and fun way (it doesn't have to be difficult!)

I have been living in and around Utrecht for years. Since three years in De Bilt in a nice apartment with distant view. If you prefer to come by instead of following online class, you are welcome here and a drink and something delicious is always ready. I live here with my boyfriend (we met 22 years ago in Tivoli). I prefer not to give lessons in the evenings and weekends, only once as an exception. You can contact me with all your questions!

Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities.

Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.

I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.

English is truly a global language. It is indispensable in business, travel, and many other areas of life. Developing your ability to hold a conversation in English will open doors to meeting new people, reaching new clients or customers, and much more.

Our classes will be held either online or in person. We will engage in a conversation on a topic of your choice (or mine), after which I will provide feedback and corrections to help you refine your pronunciation, grammar, and overall conversational skills in English.

I look forward to hearing from you soon! :)

I am a first degree teacher of Dutch with a lot of experience, at MBO, HBO and HAVEO / VWO. I have a broad orientation in my field, I am good at my profession and I have sixty publications to my name. I also teach highly educated foreigners. I am familiar with all markets in my field.

My language lessons are always tailored to the student. I provide interaction, the pupil will be encouraged from the start to experiment with the Dutch language, always within the pupil's own perception of the world, so that what is learned is placed in a personal context and automatically supplemented with elements that are specific to the pupil.
I have a number of fine methodologies at my disposal, but I also work with ease with material that the pupil has brought from school or from home, or else will select material to measure.
I have been teaching Dutch as a second language for 20 years and have a master's degree in education with a specialization in learning disabilities.

Hi, I'm Adele, a TEFL certified 25 year old Master's graduate. With the current lockdown, I'm looking to work some hours and love working with children. I've worked with children and studied educational sciences and bring my creativity to the table. I am native French and English, did my Bachelor's in the UK and am happy to tutor in either one of these languages. I love using music and dance or acting as mediums to learn and am an enthusiastic, using a child centred approach. I am happy to come to your house once a week to teach.

Hi! Its back to school season and I am offering tutoring classes in Mathematics, Science and English!

2. I am a native english speaker and I have experience of 3 years teaching students English, Science and Mathematics. I enjoy teaching in an interactive manner and make lessons fun! I have taught students from ages 8, all the way up to 22! Age is no bar for learning :)

My name is Dani and I am Mexican. I always ask my students about their specific goals and their preferred way of learning a language. In my classes I like to take a conversational approach, but this depends entirely on the needs of my students. I use different books with different didactic material, mostly Aula Plus and Bitacora. I also try to practice all skills: talking, writing and listening. If the student wants it, I leave homework, which I correct during the week before the next lesson, so that we can make the most of the lesson time. I share a word or phrase of the week with my students to build a useful vocabulary. Teaching is my passion. I feel motivated by the progress of my students, which I believe also keeps them motivated. German and Spanish are my native languages and I speak fluent English, I also speak fluent Dutch (with a little accent). Therefore, I can explain concepts in all these languages. However, I prefer to speak Spanish as much as possible, also for the beginners lessons, because I believe that people learn the language better that way.

I have a FPELE certificate: Spanish as a Foreign Language Teacher Training. And I have taught A1 to B2 level at a language institute in Spain.

Please note: This course is ONLY for native English speakers (or those with a high level of English).

In this 10-lesson course you will learn concepts and strategies for learning Dutch (and any European language). We will investigate and practice the many ways you can leverage native English speaking for rapidly learning Dutch. This course will leave you inspired and interested in foreign languages. The priority is on increasing your confidence in speaking a second language in daily life and to provide tools for independently learning Dutch.

LOOM is inspired by both the classic work on language learning The Loom of Language (1923), and the joy of watching children learn languages first hand.

This course is especially useful for:
- Those frustrated by conventional approaches to learning language
- Those with a bad memory for words
- Those who enjoy playing with language and meaning
- Those who prefer thinking and understanding over rote learning

Please note: You do not need to commit to all 5 lessons in advance. First book a single lesson and see if this approach works for you.

About me:
I am a scientist by training and studied at Oxford and received my PhD from Cambridge. I currently work as a research scientist at Utrecht University and teach Dutch in my spare time. I have a passion for learning Dutch and finding hidden connections across languages, which I share with others. I am a native English speaker and very competent Dutch speaker (C1 level) - so I have personal experience of learning Dutch as an adult (and the challenges faced).

No nation is free from the need for language; it is the essential tool that connects people across the globe, uniting individuals who speak different tongues. As social beings, human beings have an innate desire to connect with one another—whether by meeting new people or exploring new ideas. This curiosity is part of our fundamental nature. Language serves as the bridge for these connections, and among all languages, English stands out as one of the most important. It is often regarded as the global lingua franca, spoken and understood in nearly every corner of the world. In today’s interconnected society, English has become the de facto second official language for many countries, and is often referred to as the universal language—one that enables people from diverse cultures to communicate, collaborate, and share knowledge across borders.

I am a TEFL-certified English teacher who is excited to help you achieve all of the goals you have set for yourself on the journey of learning English. I combine elements of traditional methodologies with some less traditional methods and approaches that I have extracted from my own experience with learning, as I am someone who speaks several different languages and am therefore very familiar with this process and what it takes to get better at a new language. I look forward to showing you how simultaneously efficient and fun learning a new language can be.

I like using the CLT methond during my lessons. I have been teaching in a Gymnasium as an intern for the past 3 years and this method is the one that works best. I really like practicing the language in useful ways that the students can later on use in their daily lives.
I would provide the material for the lessons (no need for a book). I would create or print material when needed. I would also bring my laptop if something needs to be shown. It is handy for the student to have a notebook to keep track of all the work during the lessons.
