A bit about me, I am Cloé, I am half Italian and French but always lived in Florence, Italy, and now study in The Hague.
I miss my home country so I decided to spread "Italianity" by teaching it to whoever wants to learn our beautiful language.
Studying Italian will open a gateway for you onto one of the world's most beautiful languages and one of its richest cultures. Because of the history of the country, Italian is not just the language of Italy but of the world. You'll discover our culture and impress your family by ordering with confidence at an authentic Italian restaurant or directly in Italy.

I'll help you learn the basics of the language or if you already have an advanced level we'll practice speaking skills and more advanced facts about Italy, far from the typical stereotypes.

✔️ 13 years IELTS teaching experience
✔️ Cambridge-qualified teacher
✔️ Customised lessons just for you
✔️ Real test materials only — no basic textbooks

❗ 45-minute lessons are via Zoom only.

I’ve helped more than 100 students get 6 and above. Are you taking the IELTS test for university? Do you need IELTS for a job application? I would love to help you! I am a total IELTS nerd — I have been teaching it for 13 years, I have taken the test myself and I have created my own expert study guidebooks, which I am happy to share with you. I can answer any of your questions about IELTS and help you get the score you need. Let's go! 💪


⭐Prepare for the IELTS test with an experienced, friendly and professional native English teacher


TEACHING STYLE:

Although I take the IELTS test seriously, and I want you to as well, my classes are also light-hearted and warm. 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.


⭐Focus on the skills you need. Choose one, two or three test skills or focus on them all.


My classes are focused completely on test skills. You will learn how to answer questions much faster with me.

👂 LISTENING: The IELTS listening test is full of DISTRACTIONS. It is designed to make you not sure about the answer. Usually, there is not just one simple answer, but there are two or three possible answers, and only one is completely correct. I will teach you to pay attention to the correct keywords and reject the distractions. SPELLING is also very important for this test. English spelling is complicated, but there are rules and patterns that I will teach you.

📚 READING: I will teach you how to increase your reading SPEED, quickly find key information and reject distractions. You will learn how to answer all question types including multiple choice, matching information, true/false/not given, filling in blanks, and labelling diagrams.

🖊️ WRITING: You will learn about all the Task 1 question types including graphs, charts, maps and diagrams, plus all the Task 2 essay types. My COMPLETE IELTS WRITING GUIDE will give you all of the sentence patterns and structures you need to answer any question type. Even if you don't normally write well, you will be PREPARED for the test. I will also teach you to write QUICKLY, as it is essential to finish both tasks and reach the minimum number of words within one hour.

👄 SPEAKING: I will help you answer FLUENTLY and CLEARLY without hesitation in Part 1, make short speeches in Part 2, and give long and confident answers to all types of difficult questions in Part 3. I will help you with improve your fluency, pronunciation and 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. 🫡

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.
