I was a Dutch teacher in secondary education for many years. Currently I have emigrated and I am looking for work to do from home. There are many students who find Dutch boring. They are also right about that. However, it is a compulsory subject for which you better pass. Together with the student, I set realistic goals that we will then achieve. I will provide support and explanation until the achieved goal has been achieved.

I myself work a lot in English and can also guide non-native speakers in learning Dutch.

My prices depend on the financial situation of the student. Someone who has just moved to the Netherlands has less to spend than a student whose parents both have jobs. The prices are therefore in consultation.

Unfortunately, young people sometimes get stuck in the current education system. Usually this is because they have lost structure, fail, and do not see the usefulness of school. Together with the student / pupil, I will look at what the problems are and how we can solve them.


From my work as a school leader, I have also guided many teachers and other school leaders in their careers. What are you stuck in now, how can we tackle that, what do you really want, what does your future look like. I would like to help you!

I am still involved in teaching, but I am currently working with private language schools, primarily with adults.

In this class, we practice conversational English by diving into the stories we love. Instead of dry grammar drilling, our focus is on natural discussion centered on books, writing, cinema, and television. We can chat about characters, narrative themes, storylines, or simply discuss the stories that interest you.

We can also read and discuss short book excerpts or script pieces together, depending on your interests. As a writer, I'm especially interested in how language creates emotion, reveals personality, and brings stories to life. Together, we'll explore not only what characters say, but why they say it that way, and how you can use natural expressions to sound more confident in your own English.

Don't worry — you don't need to be a literary critic to enjoy these lessons. We use stories as a starting point for conversation, not as an excuse to overanalyze every page or scene. Whether you enjoy discussing your favourite novel, breaking down an unforgettable movie scene, or simply chatting about fictional worlds, the goal is to create a relaxed environment where English feels alive and enjoyable.

It's all about enjoying the language instead of seeing it as something intimidating. I will correct your mistakes when appropriate, but mistakes are a natural and valuable part of learning. They help us identify what to improve and build lasting confidence.

Every lesson is tailored to your interests, goals, and pace. The aim is to help you build real-world speaking confidence, expand your vocabulary, and enjoy using English in a relaxed, friendly environment.

MULTILINGUAL LISTENING SUPPORT

If you get stuck, you are welcome to use your native language when necessary. I have passive listening and reading comprehension of Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and German, in addition to being a native Serbian speaker.

Our lessons and explanations will primarily be conducted in English or Serbian.

ONLINE LESSONS

Lessons are conducted via Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, depending on your preference. We can use screen sharing and digital materials when they are useful for the lesson.

Are you in a BTS program, a bachelor's degree program, a preparatory class, or another higher education program?

Do you need help understanding a text, formulating a problem statement, organizing an essay, or preparing for an exam?

Certified teacher of Modern Literature, holder of the CAPES, I taught French and literature for three years in middle school within the National Education system.

My academic background also includes two years of preparatory classes in literature, first in hypokhâgne and then in khâgne. This training allowed me to acquire a rigorous methodology and solid skills in literature, text analysis, essay writing, commentary, and argumentation.

I can assist you with:

to understand and analyze a text;
identify literary techniques;
to construct a problem statement;
develop a detailed plan;
prepare a text commentary;
mastering the methodology of the essay;
to synthesize documents;
preparing for the general knowledge and expression exam in BTS;
prepare a presentation or oral presentation;
improve your written expression;
organize your revisions.

Thanks to my Master's degree in French as a Foreign Language, I can also support international students who encounter difficulties with university instructions, academic vocabulary, or writing in French.

I don't do the homework for the students. I help them understand the method, develop their thinking skills, and become more independent.

Are you following the CNED from abroad and do you need regular support, methodology or help to better understand the lessons and assignments?

I offer personalized online support primarily for French-speaking students educated remotely, particularly with the CNED.

With over 10 years of experience teaching French in an international school in Japan, I support students in a structured and caring way to help them progress, gain autonomy and better organize their work.

Depending on the student's needs, the sessions may include:
• Explanation and review of lessons
• help in understanding instructions
• assistance with homework and exercises
• French: grammar, spelling, written expression and comprehension
• methodology and work organization
• preparation for assessments
• Regular monitoring of progress
• special assistance for students living abroad and following a French distance education.

Each lesson is tailored to the student's level, pace, and difficulties.
My goal is not simply to provide answers, but to help the student understand, develop a good working method and gradually become more independent.
The courses are offered entirely online and can be one-off or regular depending on the family's needs.

Hello! My name is Alba and I have a degree in Hispanic Philology from the University of Jaén. I also have a Master's degree in Secondary Education Teaching, specializing in Language and Literature, studies that have greatly helped me to know how to approach my classes to achieve academic success.
I can say that I have a very varied background, based on effort and perseverance, because, in addition to the studies already mentioned, I have a degree in Dramatic Arts and I have trained at the Conservatory of Music up to the professional level with the specialty of violin.
For all of this, I have years of experience giving private lessons in Language and Literature, Violin, Piano, English and Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE).

I use a very varied methodology, based primarily on practice and adapted to each situation, depending on the student and the type of learning they want. My goal is for the student not only to pass a subject, but also to learn to work with a study method that will help them when they encounter more difficulties in the future.
My classes are designed for Primary, Secondary and High School students who need help to pass some part of the subject that they find difficult (syntax, literature, writing, reading comprehension...), prepare for important exams or, simply, gain confidence.

As a teacher, I would consider myself an approachable and empathetic person who provides her own materials when needed and is communicative.
