Lessons for Fluent Italian for Everyday Use (language and culture)
course price icon
From 31 C$ /h
arrow icon
This class is to ve fluent in the everyday use of Italian. This class will be helpful for both who are personally driven to the culture and language and who need to use it on a daily basis in their working/studying environment. The class can be adapted to the student's needs.
Even though not fluent, I have spent half of my life in Italy, or academically involved with Italian culture and language. Therefore this class can be beneficial for those who would like to advance their knowledge.
There will be a particular emphasis on the cultural aspect of the language that will be given in the teaching approach, both to familiarize the learner to the particular culture and to get deeper knowledge on the grammar and pronunciation.

About Me
I am a master's student in visual arts and design, here in the Netherlands.
I have strong enthusiasm for cultures and diversity, therefore throughout my life I have traveled a lot. I am originally Turkish. I studied at an Italian high school and traveled to Italy during my bachelor's.
The same curiosity brought along the passion for social interactions and sharing skills. Therefore teaching is a great way of learning new things from each other. Things that school does not teach; social skills that are very useful in every aspect of our lives.
Therefore I give particular importance to teaching languages. Even though my background is not academically focused, language is a skill that only life experience can build it properly.
Therefore in my classes, I will give strong importance to shameless practice, and to build as many experiences as possible through trial, error, and success.
Being open to cultural differences and their exploration, both practically, and theoretically, will definitely help you get the best out of this classes.
Get ready for diving into a new culture, talking through playing, cooking, singing and doing all kinds of things!

This class is for those who would like to be comfortable at the everyday use of the Turkish language. From the basic and appropriate ways of introduction to more complex discussions, I will focus on grammar and pronunciation, as well as the cultural aspect of the language.
In the process of learning and using a language, it is fundamental to get deeper in the traditional sayings, proverbs and natural assimilations of the expressions, both to be more comprehensible and familiar in the conversation and to understand the essence of that culture and its people. And this is a very convenient skill for building strong relationships both in personal life and in professional life.
Therefore I will go beyond the technical, towards a more culture-oriented approach in my teaching and I believe it is the most efficient in the long term familiarization of a language.

Do you have a Turkish partner and you want to communicate better?
Do you work with Turks and you want to improve your relations?
Are you fascinated with Turkish culture and want to learn more?
Or for any other reason, I got you!
Formal, informal, casual. Depending on your needs, I prepare a program special for you, and you learn exactly what you need.
I am a native Turkish speaker who has lived in Rotterdam for 5 years.
I lived in many different countries and learned many different languages. I have a natural talent for learning and teaching languages, and understanding people's cultures and needs, therefore I know how to detect what one needs to learn a language quickly, and more efficiently.

Lauend
Hello there!

Do you need help with IB or IGCSE Economics, English or Politics? Are teachers just not enough? Well then, let me help you!

My name is Lauend, a student pursuing a BSc in Political Science. I am an experienced tutor specializing in IB and IGCSE Economics, English, and Politics, with a strong academic background and a student-centred teaching approach.

Having completed both IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate, I understand these curricula from the inside—not just in terms of content, but in how examiners think, how mark schemes are structured, and where students commonly lose marks. This allows me to teach strategically, with a clear focus on exam performance, conceptual understanding, and long-term academic confidence.

I already have hands-on tutoring experience with students at different ability levels, ranging from those aiming to consolidate core knowledge to high-achievers targeting top grades. Each student receives a curated learning plan, adapted to their strengths, weaknesses, pace, and academic goals. I have taught and supported IGCSE and IB DP students at schools such as the Amsterdam International Community School and the Rotterdam International Secondary School.

Through my holistic, tailor-made tutoring for each student, I can help you not only achieve higher marks in IB and IGCSE, but also (and more importantly) understand and apply these subjects in the real world, a useful skill that will become increasingly valuable throughout life.

Whether you’re aiming to boost your grades, sharpen your essays, or finally feel confident walking into exams, I’m here to help make the process clearer, calmer, and more effective.

⭐ English for Adults of All Levels and Ages with a Native English Teacher

Personalised classes to improve your English grammar, vocabulary, fluency and pronunciation with an experienced native English teacher. I am available for you, your relative or your friend online and in The Hague / Den Haag, Netherlands. I teach adults of all levels and ages, including seniors.

CUSTOMISED COURSES:

You can decide what you want to do in our class. Tell me in advance, and I will spend time preparing materials for your needs and goals. For example:

• conversations with feedback and corrections (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation)
• help with reading and writing
• understand and practise grammar
• learn idioms and natural language with context
• prepare for visits abroad or conversations with foreigners
• creative activities like cooking together and language games

TEACHING STYLE:

My classes are light-hearted and highly interactive. People learn best when they’re enjoying themselves and feeling deeply interested, and that is my promise to you. I will correct your mistakes, but I will never shame or embarrass you for making them. My class is a place where people come to learn fast and grow in confidence.


💬 I'm Tom, and I've been teaching English since 2013. Originally I'm from the south of England, and I've been happily living in The Hague, Netherlands since 2021. Before this I lived in Finland, Taiwan and mainland China. I speak a bunch of languages besides English, like Mandarin, Finnish, some French, and a little Japanese. When I'm not teaching, I'm working on my Dutch!

I have a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics, and my research focus was how to teach English pronunciation and speaking skills. I won't let you down. 🫡


❗ Very importantly, I will also show you how to study on your own.

I know you won't be my student forever, so I want to prepare you for the future. If you hope to get good at English, it's not enough just to have a tutor once a week – the more time you put into learning English, the better and faster you'll get. I can show you how to easily make digital flashcards, write memorable notes, and use AI in a smart way to teach you English. This way you can keep learning even after our course ends.


DID YOU KNOW?
In English speaking, we usually don't say the word "must". Must is very formal and uncommon unless you're talking about rules ("Passengers must check in and out") or making a confident guess ("You must be Tom!"). Otherwise, must is very old fashioned. Instead, we say "have to" or "need to". In 1965, the Queen said "I must go to the lavatory". Everyone in the 21st century says "I have to go to the toilet." Knowing the differences between formal and informal English is important so you use the right words in the right situations! A native English teacher is the best person to help you with this.
