From 34.98 C$ /h

Hello! I am an experienced English and Portuguese teacher with over 11 years of teaching experience.

- I graduated from high school in the United States and majored in Legal English.
- I have taught more than 500 students in different language schools, where I have been trained in different teaching methods.

I offer tailor-made lessons for:
- Proficiency tests (TESOL, TOEFL, etc.)
- Job interviews
- Business English
- Travel English
- Legal English
- General English for everyday life

- Personalized lessons, just for you
I believe that every student is unique. That's why I don't rely on standard textbooks. Instead, I tailor each lesson to your specific goals, level, and interests.

You'll be speaking English from day one! We'll talk about everything, especially the topics you enjoy most. While we focus on conversation, we'll also work on grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and current events to sharpen your argumentation skills.

Want to learn Portuguese? I do too!
Additionally, I am a certified Dutch speaker, which means I understand the challenges of learning a new language.

Let's make your language learning process effective, dynamic and fun!

As a native English speaking American, I aim to improve my student's breadth of grammar and understanding of the English language through one-on-one and group lessons, advancing from any level. Having spent all my life in the United States, I also can train my students on the American vernacular and culture. I have a minor in English Literature from a college in Chicago.

In a personal learning route you walk on your own level and at your own pace through vocabulary, grammar and especially talking.
No school stuff, but a lot of variety to stimulate your GOESTING for the language and give a boost to your self-confidence.
YES, YOU CAN!
I am a certified language teacher (NL-ENG) with many years of experience in schools, adult education and companies, and consider me a 'language desire architect'.
Together we open doors in a creative way, we bring the world a piece of 'on your doorstep'.
And, who knows, in the near future you will have a (linguistic) lump richer!

I currently work as a private language teacher in Belgium and I have a good level of English. As I am not a native speaker, I do not give advanced lessons. People from any age, including kids, can follow my English lessons for levels A1, A2 and B1.

Economics classes for University level students will be based on student's needs (some suggestions: Econometrics, Microeconomics, Quantitative Economics). For school students, it can involve advanced learning or basic Economic knowledge (aligned to student's needs).
English classes will involve writing and speaking practice (based on the student's existing knowledge).
I tend to explain things pretty well. I always try to assign homework for further practice.
Times can be discussed with me and I do accommodate students based on mutual availability.

Want to Learn English from a native speaker?

I will be offering tutoring exclusively through English. The structure of the class will have a focus on spoken communication on a 1 vs 1 basis.
English can be a hard language to learn so I intend to keep the class light and easy to follow. Notes will be provided on vocabulary and grammar to establish a basis of knowledge and focus will be given on how to pronounce words in the given context. Also, I will give feedback on how to structure your written sentences. The class can take place wherever is convenient. Depending on your level of understanding, I can tailor the class to your fluency.

Therefore, the aim of the tutoring is to:
Improve spoken communication
Improve understanding of grammar, vocabulary
Improve syntax of sentences to sound like a native speaker

My CV can be provided upon request.

French and English are such beautiful and useful langages. With me you'll be able to practice your writing, reading, listening but also your speaking skills without any judgement. We'll have funny discussions and I'll show you that French is not that difficult. Having langages skills looks great on a CV but also enables you to show off to your friends and family. For children, I had many experiences as an English tutor in France, I would be very pedagogical to help kids learn while having fun.

The goal of this session is to allow the learner to speak in English, to understand its principle and how it can be used at school and professional level. These are also very simple lessons.
You will learn according to your availability.

As someone with degrees in both philosophy and psychology my background allows me to draw on principles from the science of learning to help students make meaningful progress without wasted effort. In my past experience as a tutor and special educator, I have learned to create lessons that are efficient, focused, and tailored to each learner’s goals.

I study other languages myself, so I understand firsthand the challenges that come with language learning. I use that experience to offer practical strategies that help students overcome common obstacles and stay motivated. Whether you're looking to build confidence in conversation, break out of a vocabulary-learning rut, improve your writing, or sharpen your understanding of grammar, I can help guide your progress with clarity and purpose. (Bonus: It so happens that I am originally from New York City, so if you're looking to learn with someone who has a clear and recognizably American accent, you’re in the right place).

Hi, I'm Sofia, a 19-year-old university student. I grew up attending an international school where I used English daily in both academic and social settings. As a result, I speak English at a native level. Although I do not yet have formal tutoring experience, I'm motivated, patient and passionate about helping children/students improve their English skills. I'm flexible and happy to adapt to the student's needs - whether they want to focus on speaking, reading, listening, writing, or need help with homework. If a student prefers to practice speaking or reading only, that's perfectly fine. Parents and students are welcome to share their goals and preferences. I'm available every day until mid-September. From the end of September onwards, I will be back at university, so I'll mainly be available on weekends. My evening schedule during the week is still unknown, but this can be discussed later on.

¡Hola y bienvenidos!

This class is the perfect first step on your Spanish-learning adventure. It is designed for beginners or for those who need to refresh the basics. You will learn how to introduce yourself, hold simple conversations about everyday topics (like family, food, or planning a trip), and understand essential phrases.

I will try to be practical and communicative from day one, creating a environment where you will gain the confidence to speak and understand spanish. Leave your fear behind and discover the joy of speaking Spanish.

¡Nos vemos en clase! :D
