My name is Marija and I've recently moved from Germany where I have been an English teacher in a private language school and Volkshochschule, and a private tutor.
I am a passionate linguist who lives the languages. I teach all levels and prepare kids and young adults for exams and help them expand their knowledge. Languages are the most beautiful thing in the world and I always try to make language closer to the student, no need for pressure and stress, everything can be learned with little bit of patience and will :) I work with individuals and groups.

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.

I'll help you learn English. We'll practice written and spoken English and work on grammar. I'll help you start learning the language from scratch. I'll also help you with the curriculum and homework for school-age children.

I can also help you prepare for both state exams (the Unified State Exam) and international exams, such as IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT (I've experienced passing each of these exams).
Since the written portion of the exams is so important, we'll expand our vocabulary and learn to logically argue your case.

We'll focus on conversational English, discussing various topics, which will also help expand your vocabulary, and watching videos in English and discussing them. I'll help you learn English.

I explain the grammar by giving you the rules and examples from everyday life and from pop music.
We will make exercises from your own workbook to see if you understand it and you can learn from mistakes so that you don't make them again on your test.
We will also practice reading texts from old exams because that will be your final exam later on.
Usually the grades of my tutors go up quickly.
I come to the student's home to give tutoring at the table in the afternoon.

I love science and geography and did my primary education in English and got all grade 9s in my science and geography GCSEs and a grade 8 in Maths.

Do you feel stuck in your practice or performance? Do you have the skills but struggle to express your musical voice with clarity and confidence? Or maybe you’ve been performing for years but want to take your artistry further — deeper, freer, more authentically you.

That’s where I come in.

I work as a musician, coach & creative mentor, helping performers connect the dots between their artistry, mindset, and professional life.

As a violist and saxophonist with experience in solo, chamber, orchestral, classical, jazz, pop, and world music, I understand the many layers of being a musician today. It’s not just about practicing and performing — it’s also about shaping your identity, reaching your audience, and managing the behind-the-scenes work that keeps your career moving.

💡 In our sessions, we can explore whatever part of your musical journey needs support:

* 🎻 Performance & Interpretation – confidence, expression, storytelling through sound
* 🎶 Chamber & Ensemble Skills – communication, listening, blending
* 🌍 Artistic Identity – shaping your unique voice and presence as a musician
* 💡 Mindset & Stage Presence – overcoming self-doubt, nerves, or creative blocks
* 📲 Practical Support – planning projects, creating content for socials, organizing tools, and simple automations to make your musical life run smoother

You don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you’re a student, an emerging artist, or already established, we’ll work with what’s inside you — your instincts, your strengths, your goals. Sessions can be a one-time deep dive or part of a longer creative journey together.

👉 Think of it as having a coach, mentor, and creative ally for both your music and your career.

Would you like to speak Italian with confidence and sound like a native? In this class, you will learn the Italian language in a clear, engaging, and personalized way.
We will focus on:
- Building essential vocabulary and grammar
- Improving your pronunciation and listening skills
- Practicing real-life conversations

Lessons are adapted to your level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced) and your personal goals — whether you are studying for travel, work, or simply for the love of the language.
I create a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where you can feel confident speaking from the very first lesson.

Hi, I'm a 20 year old International and European Law student at the University of Groningen and I spent most of my life in different international schools. I completed my IB Diploma in 2023 with Higher Level English Literature, History and Biology from the British School in the Netherlands.

Before that I finished my IGCSEs/GCSE exams in 10 subjects at Dulwich College in Singapore with all 9's/A*s. I love languages and English literature and have learnt world history throughout my time in school. I also have awards from international writing competitions, including a Commendation from Oxford University's John Locke Essay Competition and a Silver Award for the Queen's Commonwealth Essay Writing Competition with over 25,000 global participants. I also have experience tutoring with a previous students achieving a High Commendation for the John Locke Essay and phenomenal grades for IGCSE and IB internal assessments and exam prep.

I'm happy to have sessions on English (language and literature) and History, also with a specific focus on exam prep or assignments. I'm available for essay writing and competition essay writing tips in general too. I can also provide lessons for drama, design technology and Chinese for GCSE and below!

I am a copywriter and a creative by profession, not a traditional teacher, and for many people, that is precisely the reason to choose me. English is the language in which I work daily. I studied and lived in it (film school in London) and worked internationally for ten years: on brands, campaigns, and even the original concept for a TV format.

I offer two things that complement each other well. On the English side: learning to speak naturally, increased self-confidence, and practical writing such as work emails, presentations, and pitches, built around real-life situations rather than dry exercises from a book. On the storytelling side: copywriting, brand and personal stories, content that sticks, motivational texts, and scripts. Ideas, structure, voice, and impact.

Come for one thing, another, or both. Every lesson is one-on-one and fully tailored to your goals. Ideal for professionals, expats, entrepreneurs, and creators. Also for sharpening your CV, LinkedIn profile, or cover letter: I help you put yourself on paper clearly and convincingly. Teenagers are also welcome for help with writing: essays, school texts, or a first CV. I work on clarity, structure, and confidence on paper—not exam training, but learning to write more effectively.

I adapt each lesson to the student’s level, goals and learning style. Classes combine conversation, grammar, vocabulary and practical exercises. A typical lesson includes a short review, a new topic and speaking practice. I have 4 years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults, and my lessons are suitable for beginners, intermediate and advanced Spanish learners.

If you're an international secondary school student needing extra help with school subjects such as Math or English, test prep (such as SSAT, SAT, IB, AP, etc.) or interview prep (for example for TOEFL, college or private school admissions), I offer tailored one-on-one lessons both in-person and online. I am an experienced tutor, teaching expat students all over the world since 2020. My approach is dynamic - this is your time and I will prepare the lesson based on your particular needs. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
