I have a MSc. in Education, and I am currently a PhD candidate at Leiden University within the Humanities Faculty, as part of the Institute for History - International Studies.
My academic activities include developing special courses in order to prepare students for TOEFL, SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT examinations (American standardized tests required to apply to certain universities).
I am also an International Baccalaureate® (IB) and Advanced Placement proctor and tutor for the American School of The Hague.

I have many years of experience teaching English, Spanish, History, Social Studies, Psychology, MS maths and Algebra.

In addition, I have several years of experience with Mindfulness practices within educational settings in order to address procrastination, stress, anxiety, and enhanced cognitive and academic performance.

I am an Italian native speaker with a bachelor in Italian Literature and Linguistics. In Italy, I usually teach English to high school students, or adults who want to improve their skills with this language.
Usually, I tend to use a non-academic approach, by focusing on the student's interests and make him/her applying the language to their everyday life, instead of simply learning the grammar rules by heart.
In my opinion, learning a new language should be fun and easy, nothing too stressful. What you will get from is a new positive and funny way to learn a foreign language such as Italian or English.

I specialize in tutoring English in grammar, writing and conversation, especially for school students. I have several experiences before and am willing to adjust teaching materials to the need of students.

As a native Chinese speaker, I am good at teaching students from daily conversation. Of course, if you want to be more professional please contact me as well! Besides, as I am from Taiwan, I am the best option if you want to learn traditional Chinese!

I am a native English speaker from Ireland currently studying MSc Psychology at Leiden University. I received a grade A1 in my Leaving Certificate English studies and my BA degree includes a specialisation in English. I also have experience teaching English as a second language in both Spain and Zambia. I am available for lessons after lectures and during weekends. The lessons can be held in a location that suits you or via Skype, etc. if necessary.
These lessons can be for students of any level who want extra support in English acquisition or improvement. As the student you can choose which areas you would most like to focus on and I can structure the lessons with this in mind. This can include areas such as grammar, conversation, vocabulary, and much more. We can discuss together how best I can help you to improve your language skills based on your needs, for example through help with homework or setting additional homework.
If the hours shown do not suit you let me know as my lecture hours vary slightly each week and I may be able to fit you in. If you have any questions at all don't hesitate to message me.

English or Spanish classes based in speaking to improve fluency and vocabulary.

You won't need anything else rather than a pen and a paper. We'll talk and I'll teach you how to correctly pronounce, the tenses, false friends and phrasal verbs and anything else you may need in your everyday.

Although I am a trained philosophy teacher for secondary students, I have shifted my focus to tutoring English and Portuguese language learners. My goal is to provide dynamic classes that allow students to use functional language in real-world ways, but each class can be tailor-made to the individual's needs. I use Cambridge materials for my English classes, in addition to real-world texts and videos, to train students on grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. Student-centered classes are the most beneficial in my opinion, so I focus on having the student speak while also guiding them with the correct language depending on their problem areas.

The course aims to enable learners to achieve a high level of mastery in French, encompassing both written and oral communication. The primary objectives include improving pronunciation, comprehension, language construction, communication skills, conversational abilities, conjugation, grammar, vocabulary, and gaining cultural insights into various Francophone countries.

Methodology:

The proposed methodology has been meticulously designed to assist learners in attaining their specific language objectives. The approach incorporates the following key features:

 Customized sessions: Tailored to accommodate individual learning paces, these sessions encompass both oral and written components.

 Emphasis on practical language skills: The course prioritizes the development of practical language skills necessary for real-life situations.

 Integration of interactive, real-life situations: Through engaging private sessions, learners are immersed in interactive scenarios that enhance their listening comprehension and vocabulary development.

 Varied oral and written exercises: Stimulating oral and written exercises are provided at an appropriate pace, encouraging active participation and practice.

 Personalized instruction: Each learner benefits from instruction that is specifically tailored to their needs, effectively addressing their unique requirements and daily commitments. The overarching goal is to enhance proficiency in all four language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

 Additionally, supplementary services such as French-English interpreting, exam preparation, report/thesis reading, and document writing assistance can be offered based on individual requirements.

Results:

Hello! My name is Leonor and I am a Law Student from Portugal. In the last few months, I worked as an English Teacher in a Refugee Camp and Greece and before that I worked as a Portuguese and English tutor to both middle school and high school students. I had a 8.5/9 IELTS score and have lived abroad for several years, so English is a language I'm really comfortable in speaking.

I love creating worksheets and powerpoints. Furthermore, I love summarizing the topics I'm teaching in the end of each lesson and making sure the students never leave class with questions. Creating a comfortable environment for the students to make mistakes is something I consider really important.

I would love to teach you Portuguese and English, so you can improve your legal, writing and conversational skills in both languages!

Writing can be hard work. You know what you want to say, but when you try to write down your ideas, your brain starts to hurt. Sometimes you don't know how to get started, or you get stuck. Perhaps you've toiled away, trying to capture your idea, only to realize your paragraph seems horribly dull.

Most writers wrestle with these issues but learn ways to make the writing process less painful. I can help you pick up a few tricks of the trade, so you too don't have to suffer (as much).

Learn how to take notes, make outlines, give presentations, craft clear sentences, compose focused paragraphs, draft stories and essays, and edit. Next time you are faced with a writing assignment, you’ll know the little steps you need to make for the task to be much more manageable.
