I'm a native English speaker from the USA, living in Rotterdam. In my job as an engineer, I regularly help colleagues with their written and spoken English. I'm available to help you practice English on a regular basis on weeknights. I mainly work with students and professionals in technical fields who are interested in refining their English writing and speaking skills. I also speak fluent Dutch, as well as some Spanish and French, so I'm familiar with common English mistakes and understand what's causing them.

Examples of lessons:
- Reviewing written documents together, and identifying recurring errors (work emails, proposals, reports, etc.).
- General conversation practice, and presentation practice. I will listen, take notes, and provide feedback on pronunciation and grammar, while we discuss various topics.
- Practice speaking exercises in preparation for IELTS exams.
- Assistance with job applications (reviewing English CVs and cover letters).

I do not teach beginners courses in English, as I have a full-time job and this would require longer/more frequent lessons, and I do not have the training/background required to teach basic English.

If you're interested, I'd love to hear a bit more about what you'd like to learn, so I can tailor the lessons to your needs:
- What is your previous experience with English?
- Why are you improving your English?
- Do you have any specific goals? (e.g. certain topics you would like to be able to speak/write about)

For our first lesson we can meet at a cafe/park/library/online, and after that, we can choose the location that makes the most sense.

French is a beautiful language to learn and to speak. So much emotion and feelings go into it if you are willing it will come naturally with practice. I hope I can assist you in any way possible. I achieved my diploma for B2 and B1 french level while being in the French school system most of my life. However, right now I am in my before last-year of school at the International School of the Hague.

I am a professional English teacher with over 8 years experience in various teaching roles. I have experience of teaching all ages from 3 up to 65+ in group classes or 1-on-1. Specific purpose teaching such as public speaking or business English also taught.

I will always make the class exciting, fun and full of laughter. I think people learn better when they are engaged and enjoying themselves. I have a wide variety of teaching materials too as I currently teach online to Chinese schoolchildren for some hours of the day. I am incredibly flexible and will have a conversation with you before the class to see what learning environment will work best for you or your child. Homework can be set too.

I have just come back to Europe after spending 3 years in South Korea as a teacher to children aged 5 - 18. Before that I worked alongside children with learning difficulties for 5 years, as a sports coach and a playground designer too. Come and have a first class and see how great it is! See you soon!

I offer online or face-to-face English lessons to non-native speakers. I work with the student to identify learning objectives and any areas of weakness and tailor the lesson accordingly. Areas covered during the lesson include, speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar accent reduction.
I currently live in Den Haag, The Netherlands. In addition to private coaching, I also work for an online ESL company delivering English lessons to children across a range of age groups. In addition, I also work as an ESL proofreader and IELTS private tutor here in The Hague. I hold a BA (Hons) degree and have a CELTA qualification. Prior to a career in ESL English teaching, I worked in the UK national press for the Times and Financial Times newspapers. It was there I developed my proofreading and communications skills.
In my spare time, I write articles for magazines and have had feature stories published in The Telegraph magazine, The Daily Mail and a number of health magazines. I have also written two language books. The first, 'I Already Speak Speak French!' is an illustrated book for children that covers the etymology of many English words to their French origin (attached is a sample of it for your interest!). It has been translated for the French market into, 'I Already Speak English!' The second book is called, 'Learn Business English FAST!' which draws on a teaching methodology used for effective, fast learning that I used whilst teaching English for the international company, GoFluent.

💬 Is your English pronunciation holding you back?
• Do people misunderstand you and ask you to repeat yourself?
• Do you notice that people get tired listening to you?
• Do you feel judged before you even finish speaking?

I’m Tom, a native English speaker from the south of England. I've developed my methods from a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics plus many years of teaching (I became a teacher at 22 and now I'm 35 – I'll let you do the maths). My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback.

❗ 45-minute lessons are via Zoom only

I offer one-to-one English accent coaching personalised for your needs and goals. I will help you correctly produce the sounds of English so that you can immediately start speaking with more clarity, confidence, and control – and without feeling awkward or anxious.

Although I take coaching 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 feel good and grow confidence.

⭐ English Pronunciation and Accent Coaching / Training / Reduction with a Qualified Expert Native Teacher

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
• Change key vowel and consonant sounds that cause misunderstandings
• Control your rhythm, intonation and pausing
• Build links between your hearing and speech muscles
• Breathe comfortably and strengthen your voice
• Adapt your voice appropriately for different purposes – meetings, interviews, presentations, pitches, conversations, and more

➡️ Fast pronunciation improvements – our main goal at all times

WILL I SOUND 100% NATIVE?
❗Research shows that for most adult speakers, it's just not possible after our teenage years to develop a fully native accent. So, honest accent coaching is not about training you to sound native. Instead, a good coach will train you to be understood by as many people as possible and communicate exactly what you intend. That means fixing problematic sounds and expanding your range of vocal styles by borrowing from voice acting techniques, from sounding authoritative and executive to warm and supportive.

If you do want to sound native, I can still help you – whichever accent you prefer – from the UK, USA, Australia or anywhere else. You might not sound fully native at the end, but you can still make adjustments so that you like the way you sound.

WHAT ARE YOUR METHODS?
I've learned my methods from a double master's degree in Applied Linguistics and English Linguistics plus many years of teaching. My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback.

• I use modern evidence-based methods including speech visualisation software, shadowing and HVPT
• I create my own original training materials tailored to YOUR individual language background, goals, requirements and preferences – I offer a customised course specifically for you, not a one-size-fits-all package
• You’ll start with controlled practice to master new sounds, then move into spontaneous speech so that these skills become part of your everyday speaking habits.

Curious to learn more or not sure if you need coaching? Send me a message and I'll be happy to give you my honest opinion.

Do you have a Turkish partner and you want to communicate better?
Do you work with Turks and you want to improve your relations?
Are you fascinated with Turkish culture and want to learn more?
Or for any other reason, I got you!
Formal, informal, casual. Depending on your needs, I prepare a program special for you, and you learn exactly what you need.
I am a native Turkish speaker who has lived in Rotterdam for 5 years.
I lived in many different countries and learned many different languages. I have a natural talent for learning and teaching languages, and understanding people's cultures and needs, therefore I know how to detect what one needs to learn a language quickly, and more efficiently.

As a person who loves learning languages I know that the best way to learn any is by speaking and talking to people. That is why my classes are focused on conversation and to make people confortable in English. Of course, I can also help with grammar, as I myself did a few certificates (CAE).
