A language is the key to communication and in the interconnected, globalized world that we find ourselves in, a language can really broaden your horizons and extend your web. In addition, a new language also brings culture with it and a vast array of new traveling opportunities.
However, despite all of these advantages, learning a language can be challenging and demotivating, in particular when it is studied without being in touch with native speakers and the corresponding culture that a language brings with it.
The language tutoring provided will be personalized to the student's needs and will provide the cultural context that comes with a language, allowing for a more enjoyable and interactive language acquisition process.
If you are looking to improve your conversational skills or even written proficiency, This is the class for you.
Extra information
I am from Uruguay and speak the corresponding regional dialect. This is irrelevant for students who are in need of written tutoring however, for students willing to learn to speak Spanish as it is spoken in Spain, it might be a problem as there are certain differences. It is important to add that all dialects are valid in a professional and academic setting and that dialects have no hierarchy.

About Me
Dear future student,

My name is Bernardo and I am an international university student, currently finishing my Bachelor's degree in International Studies at Leiden University. Being born in Uruguay and having lived in Kenya, Germany, and the Netherlands I had the privilege to learn multiple languages and experience the corresponding cultures. Learning a language goes beyond learning the precise grammatical structure of it, learning a language means getting to know new cultural customs and traditions. The cultural aspect is what makes a new language attractive as it opens doors to an unexplored world.
Education
- IB diploma at the International School of Kenya.
- Currently in my third year of my Bachelor in International Studies at Leiden University.
- Completing a minor in Philosophy.
Experience / Qualifications
I speak Spanish fluently as it is my mother tongue, English C2 level and German C1 level. Experience with Kids from coaching to babysitting but eager to also work with adults.

Sandra
Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities.

Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.

I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.

🗣 Hi there! I’m Tom from England, and I’ve been an IELTS teacher for over 10 years. During that time, I’ve helped more than 100 students achieve scores of 6 and above. I'm dedicated to guiding my students towards their goals, whether that's getting into their dream university or starting a career abroad.

TEACHING STYLE:

My classes are focused at all times on test skills: You will learn how to recognise and respond to all question types so that you can answer questions quickly and with confidence.

We will use only real tests and learning materials made just for you to help you target your mistakes and grow your strengths. Never generic textbooks.

*

MORE DETAILS:

👂 Listening: I will teach you what to expect in all sections and provide training on all task types including filling in forms, labelling maps, understanding debates and discussions, and listening for keywords in lectures. Are you confused by different accents? You will get used to my standard southern British accent in no time, and I will help you understand accents from Australia, the US and Canada too thanks to my training in linguistics.

📚 Reading: I will teach you how to increase your reading speed, quickly find key information and identify words with similar meanings. You will learn how to answer all question types including multiple choice, matching information, true/false/not given, filling in blanks, and labelling diagrams.

🖊️ Writing: You will learn about all Task 1 types including graphs, charts, maps and diagrams. I will show you how to describe trends, make comparisons and analyse differences. In Task 2 you will learn to make and discuss opinions, consider advantages and disadvantages, and write about causes, effects and solutions. Above all, I will teach you to write quickly, as it is essential to finish both tasks and reach the minimum number of words within one hour.

👄 Speaking: I will help you prepare for all common questions and topics in Part 1, give expert advice on making short speeches in Part 2, and teach you how to give long and confident answers to all types of difficult questions in Part 3. I will also help you with speaking confidence, fluency and pronunciation.
