A1 Lesson 5 - Practice the main verbs 'am and have'

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 62 C$ /h

The verbs ben and have are the most commonly used verbs. With this we form most sentences. If you master these verbs well and know when to use which, you will form beautiful sentences. This is the basis of speech and sentence structure. After the previous lessons you have a good feeling to start forming sentences with these two verbs.

During this lesson we will also practice writing sentences and speaking.

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

62 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

62 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.

I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

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.

Each lesson starts with your goals. We might discuss a topical article, rehearse a job or university interview, practise a presentation, or explore a realistic workplace situation. I will give you specific feedback on your wording, structure and delivery, with practical points to work on between sessions. You are welcome to bring your own presentation, interview questions or discussion topics.

I graduated with a First in Law from Oxford and completed the Bachelor of Civil Law before training as a barrister. I am now a non-practising barrister with substantial experience in banking, business leadership and international consultancy.

My teaching approach focuses on making English learning engaging, interactive, and personalised to each student's needs. I believe that the best way to improve a language is through consistent practice, real-life conversations, and building confidence in communication rather than simply memorising grammar rules.

My Teaching Methods

I use a combination of conversational practice, grammar exercises, vocabulary development, pronunciation improvement, and interactive activities. My goal is to create a comfortable learning environment where students feel confident speaking English, asking questions, and learning from their mistakes.

What a Typical Lesson Looks Like

Each lesson begins with a short conversation to practise speaking and review previous topics. We then focus on a specific area of improvement, such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, or academic English. Lessons include practical exercises, discussions, and personalised feedback to help students recognise their strengths and areas for improvement.

What Makes My Lessons Different

As a university student studying Business Management with Business Analytics at Lancaster University Leipzig, I understand the importance of effective English communication in academic, professional, and everyday situations. Having studied in an English-speaking educational environment, I aim to make lessons practical, enjoyable, and relevant to real-life experiences.

Who Are My Lessons For?

My lessons are suitable for secondary school students, university students, and adults with a basic to advanced understanding of English (A2–C1). Whether you're preparing for school exams, improving your academic writing, developing professional communication skills, or simply looking to become more fluent and confident, I will adapt the lessons to your individual learning goals.

All lessons are conducted entirely in English to encourage immersion and help students develop natural communication skills.
