Hi!

Will you be my new student for private English or Dutch lessons? Perfect! My name is Luisa, I grew up bilingual in Italian and Dutch, both at native level. My strength is to change from one language to another instantly, I have a great interest in people and their interests. Giving lessons is my job and I do it with a lot of enthusiasm!
My 45 minute online lessons are conversation based. Just conversations!
They will be created for you, working towards your expectations and desired results.
We will talk about topics of your preferences such as cinema, music, art, technology, physics, cooking, fashion or current affairs. You choose what we will talk about and I prepare the lessons for you.
I will pay attention to what you need at the grammatical level and we will look at the mistakes together so we can work on them. As we speak, you won't even notice that you're actually studying at all!
Here we will see together what you need and talk about your expectations and choose your favorite topics.
During lessons we speak only in Dutch. This is a method that gives notable results in a short time. In the experience of today's professors and students it has proven to be the best because it is the most effective. There is no homework but it will especially be my advice on how and when to use Dutch. The conversations will do the work for you. But of course if you prefer to do homework, I will give it to you every week, no problem!

There are 4 courses you can choose from.
Course 1: 3 months (13 lessons)
Course 2: 6 months (25 lessons)
Course 3: 9 months (38 lessons)
Course 4: 1 year (51 lessons, -1 week holiday)
Together we will agree on which day to start the course and what time your lesson will start.
For any reason or circumstance you should miss a class please cancel within 24 hours. We will make a new appointment to catch up on the lesson. *
If you go on holiday let me know so that we can organize it first to pick up after you return. *
These conditions apply equally to me.

My 45 minutes online lessons are based on making conversations. They will be custom made for you, working towards your aims and wishes. We will talk about topics of your preference like for instance movies, music, art, technology, science, cooking, fashion or current affairs. You choose what we will talk about and I'll design the lessons for you.
I will pay attention to what you need on grammar level and we will review mistakes so we can work on them.
You won’t even notice that you are actually studying!
Here we will discuss everything, we can talk about your aims and choose your favourite topics.

During the lessons we will only be talking in Dutch. This is a method that gives remarkable results in a short time. In the experience of teachers and students today it is the best method. There is no homework to be done except my advice on how and when to use the language. The conversations we’ll have will eventually do the work for you. But of course if you prefer to have homework I can provide it for you, no problem!

Hello everyone,
My name is Phillip. I am an experienced, native bilingual (USA/Switzerland) English teacher. Today, I am pleased to guide you in your learning from my office located in the wild and inspiring setting of western Ireland.

With many years of experience as a private tutor, I work with students from all backgrounds. However, over time, I have developed an approach that is particularly appreciated by seniors and retirees. Why? Because I am convinced that learning a language at this stage of life should first and foremost be a shared pleasure, a window onto the world, and a wonderful way to keep the mind sharp and curious.
My approach: Trust and kindness above all

Many of us have somewhat rigid memories of school learning. With me, forget the stress of mistakes or tedious grammar. My primary goal is to restore your confidence. We progress at your pace, with a gentle, patient, and personalized teaching approach. Whether you're starting from scratch or simply want to refresh your old school memories, I adapt completely to your needs.

What we can explore together:
- Travel English: So that your next trip abroad is synonymous with serenity (getting around, ordering in restaurants, communicating with locals without apprehension).

-Maintaining family ties: Ideal if you have bilingual grandchildren or grandchildren living abroad and you want to share more with them.

-Conversation & Culture: Discuss current events, literature, history or life in Ireland, while enjoying my clear and easy-to-understand native accent.

-Brain gymnastics: Using English as a fun and stimulating tool to maintain memory and cognitive plasticity.

Why choose me?
As a dual American and Swiss national living in Ireland, I bring a unique cultural richness to your life. I have a mastery of all the nuances of the English language, but I also have a perfect understanding of French culture and structure.

Practical and technological aspects:

We'll work together via Zoom or Google Meet, very simple and reliable tools. If you're worried about the technology, don't be: I'll guide you step by step during our first session so you feel completely comfortable on screen. It's much simpler than it seems!

Join me for a friendly and engaging experience, blending Swiss rigor, American optimism, and the legendary warmth of Ireland. Let's transform your English practice into a truly enriching human adventure.
Nice to meet you,

Phillip
