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.

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Each lesson is fully personalized according to the student's level, objectives, and needs. My method is based on a progressive and interactive approach, in order to develop both knowledge and self-confidence.

A typical lesson begins with a discussion to identify any difficulties encountered and review previous concepts. We then work on the essential points (grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening comprehension, written and oral expression) through tailored exercises and role-playing scenarios. At the end of the session, we review progress and set objectives for the next lesson.

As an engineer, I bring a rigorous, organized, and efficient work method. I favor a supportive, attentive, and results-oriented teaching approach. My goal is not only to help my students improve their grades but also to give them the tools and methods to become more independent in their learning.

My courses are aimed at middle and high school students, as well as adults wishing to learn English regardless of their level: refresher courses, academic support, preparation for tests, the brevet or the baccalaureate, as well as students wishing to strengthen their oral fluency or consolidate their English foundations.

Hi! I'm Emma, I was born in Luxembourg and have been living in Amsterdam for 3 years now and still going.
Growing up in Luxembourg has given me the privilege to learn 6 languages, it has brought me so much fun and motivation to learn new languages. I am currently learning dutch (self-taught).
In high school I specialised in languages and literature (French, German, Spanish and English), and in University I got to delve into a very academic English.

I have had experience in tutoring before, and I want to continue doing it because I believe with patience, kindness and adding a little fun in the tutoring sessions, learning a language is far from traumatising than what most people think haha!
During my first session I would like to get to know the person and see if we can set a goal together on how we will proceed with the tutoring.

When it comes to children, I basically babysitted most of my life (as a teen and during my studies in the university), children from ages 4 to 12, so I to get along with children well and I have also found several techniques to help with homework and teach a language. Specially with children whom I spoke to in their mother tongue that is not English or Dutch but French for example, as requested by the parents.

My classes are available in Portuguese, German, French, Spanish and English. As I said I am learning dutch, so I could try my best to also communicate in dutch which would help me a lot as well :)
