English conversation classes with a native speaker
From 43.26 C$ /h
This class is for anyone wanting to improve their English writing and speaking skills. I come from the UK but am currently living in The Netherlands for my studies. I have prior experience in teaching both children and adults, having volunteered for various projects in the UK, Netherlands and Tanzania. My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. I look forward to hearing from you!

About Me
Conscientious and enthusiastic, I am always dedicated to my students. I am an honest, kind and friendly person who also has a competitive side and loves a challenge. As a result, I also like to challenge my students so that they can reach their full potential. I enjoy teaching ambitious, hard working students who have a thirst for knowledge and a desire to learn.
