About Me

hey you!

First of all, thank you for visiting my profile and so nice to meet you. I would love to get to know you. To get an idea of me, here is a short introduction about myself.

I describe myself as a world-traveler with a big passion for languages, cultures and challenges. I am in love with life itself and a big fan of sports, food, reading and learning new things.

I was born in Goa, India, where I have learned English to communicate with the people there, and where I have lived until the age of 3. Then I moved to Italy to live at my dads home, where I learned Italian. At the age of 6, I moved to The Netherlands, where my mom is originally from, and I was raised there. I learned Dutch and more English, as English has become a prior language in The Netherlands. Also, I graduated in a Bachelor Degree in English.

As I have always traveled since I was a kid, the wanderlust inside me has never gone away. During my university and work schedules, I traveled the world and developed more languages. At the age of 23, I studied in Buenos Aires for a year, where I learned Spanish. At the age of 26, I lived in Brazil and learned Portuguese. That's how I ended up speaking 5 languages.

During my life abroad, I realized how important it is to speak English. Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to communicate with people in a foreign country. But also, improvement of a current speaking language is never a bad idea, as there are always new things to learn.

As an open-minded person with years of experiences in learning and speaking languages, getting to know new cultures and connecting with new people, I know the position in which you find yourself in. And I am here to help you to learn/improve your Dutch. If I can speak 5 languages, you can too. And always in a fun way! Speaking about the way of teaching.

How do I teach?
Every person is different. That's why I personalize my classes per student, so that you learn in a fun and comfortable way. Cause only when you are comfortable, learning is fun and motivational. First, I give a class to see who my student is. Like that I get to know the level of proficiency you own and what is the best way for you to learn.

My classes differ from grammar/vocabulary classes to practicing talking together. Also, I teach per topic. For example: introducing yourself, having a proper conversation about your day, traveling (asking your way around), restaurants/bars (how to order/talk about food). But also grammar and vocabulary classes to improve the basics. Anything to make you become a professional in Dutch!

In addition, I help students with schoolwork and writing a thesis in English and Dutch. I know how hard it is to write a thesis and how nice it is to get help with that. Last but not least, I review every class and give feedback, in order to make sure that the process goes well and suits your needs.

I really look forward to starting this journey with you! Do you?

A1 Lesson 1 - Greeting people and introducing yourself and others

63.12 C$ /h

A good start is half the work. In my first lesson you will learn how to greet someone in Dutch and how to introduce yourself and someone else.

This lesson consists of discovering new words, sounds, a reading exercise and having a conversation together.

But always in a fun and educational way.

A1 Lesson 2 - Naming and introducing your family and friends

63.12 C$ /h

In this lesson you will learn to name family members and friends in Dutch.

We also take a look back at the first lesson in which we greet and introduce someone. Also in this lesson we do both reading and speaking exercises. Because the more you practice speaking, the faster and easier you will learn the language.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

It is about putting in place rational tools to defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / security zone. In particular, simple techniques which make it possible to improve intimate, personal and professional relationships, or even to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, effective and lasting way.

5. Develop conflict management and negotiation skills, alternating attentive listening, active speaking and rationality in the face of the limited rationality of the angry individual.

➤ Whether your objective is personal or professional, defusing conflicts, negotiating and speaking relevant and successful must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating an adequacy between the message received and the message sent. Consistency between form and substance.

Learn to Perfect Your American English Accent and Communication Skills—for Work, Academics, and Everyday Life
Great for Study Abroad and International Students!

“Where are you from? ...No, but where are you actually from?”

I was born and have lived in the United States my entire life (28 years). I lived in the rural Midwestern state of Wisconsin until age 13. Then I lived, attended middle school, graduated high school, and attended university in the major U.S. cities of Chicago, Illinois, and San Francisco, California.

I come from a bilingual home, and my parents speak with an accent—but my American English accent is clear, standard, and natural.

I’m happy to work with you to help you sound more American. This can be extremely useful for English learners who want to communicate more confidently and comfortably in school, at work, and in daily life.

We will cover:
• Accent and pronunciation
• Pacing and rhythm
• Vocabulary and word choice
• Delivery and confidence

All techniques are based on evidence from linguistics and communication studies, so you’ll understand why they work—not just memorize rules. Accent and communication improvement is a science and an art.

I have worked in journalism, speech-language pathology, tourism, and customer service. I have experience in high-academic settings (like museums and graduate seminars) and everyday settings (like working in stores). I am currently working toward a Level 5 TEFL diploma.

I have one semester left in my degree in Spanish and Chinese at San Francisco State University, and I plan to move abroad for graduate school. I have also taken graduate-level classes in Chinese and Spanish. I speak eight languages fluently, and I understand what it takes to make a foreign-language accent sound natural and confident.
I’m warm, friendly, patient, professional, open-minded, and flexible. Every student has a unique journey in language learning, and I will meet you where you are to meet your goals.

Feel free to message me with any questions!
