English language or English literature tutoring for secondary school students

From 43.32 C$ /h

I specialize in tutoring secondary school students in English language and literature, particularly students from international schools. I am familiar with the IB-programme and similiar programmes. However, exceptions can be made for other students.

I am fluent in both Dutch and English, so tutoring in either language would not be an issue from me. I would prefer to tutor in the area where I live, but exceptions can always be made. Travel costs are not included in the hourly price.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested! 😊

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! :)

Writing represents one of my hobbies. I share my experiences round academic writing, composition and style. Academic English remains the background. Note: Only those who struggle to succeed in school. Succeeding in school is very important for the society.

I believe that learning languages should be fun and entertaining, not just a chore, so I have individual program for each student that I create based on the factors discussed before we start. After our first class I will create a program that I believe is best suitable, however it can be altered and negotiated per your request.

Spanish is second most spoken language in the world, not only is it useful it's also very beautiful and rich with unique culture. If you always wanted to visit Latin America and be able to speak with locals, love Spanish music and wish you could understand it or simply need preparation for exam or enhancing your professional skills, I can help you with that!

English is an important tool in our modern life. I was raised in an English speaking family and am currently getting a degree in University. I would be happy to teach English to children as well as to adults. I can improve your reading, listening, writing and speaking skills, which are all equally important.

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.

Hey,
During this course we will practice English for school or everyday use.
During the lessons we pay attention to grammar, language comprehension and language production,
and in addition, we also read a text in English every week on a predetermined topic!

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.
