De echte Portugese ervaring!

Advantages of learning a new language:

Learning a new language is fun. But what I’m (and you should be) after is not bilingualism but instead biculturalism. We think by aid of words. Therefore language shapes thought. In part this is because working in a second language slows down the thinking. No wonder people feel different when speaking a second language. And no wonder they feel looser, more spontaneous, perhaps more assertive or funnier or blunter.
Studies show that being able to speak another language is generally linked to a more flexible brain, developing the brain’s ability to plan and prioritize. Also it betters our defenses against dementia in old age.

Advantages of learning Portuguese:

• 250 million native speakers worldwide
• 5th most common language in the world
• It has been an official language since 1297
• It’s usage is spread over 4 continents (Europe, South America, Africa, Asia)

Now business,

For the past 5 years I've had more than 50 students and based on experience I recommend the following lesson duration (minutes):
Age gap 0-6 | 7-12 | 13-17 | 18-45 | 45-64 | 65+
Duration 30 | 30-45 | 45-60 | 60 | 60-45 | 45-30

Focus on diverse subjects is possible, for example, grammar, diction, reading comprehension, written production, conversational skills. Because the goal of most students is the ability to communicate, I’ve been developing my classes that way. I have acquired extra audio media specially for you :) to hear Portuguese being spoken at a different pace, accent and voice tone.

My method is based on a book (that I myself bring to the class and the student doesn’t need to acquire) which I'm fairly familiar by now. But what I really like is to talk to the student. So the book will be used to present the gramatical structure of the language while also serving as an inspiration platform for conversation topics.
Periodically we will evaluate how the classes are evolving so as to rapidly and effectively shift focus to where it is needed.

If you want to learn Spanish or improve your Spanish, I may be the right teacher for you. I offer lessons that are fun, interactive, and based on what my students need and want to learn. I do this through a variety of activities to help you build your skills step by step; including role-playing games (based on real-life situations), Q&A's and games. ¡The goal is to keep you talking! The lessons are mainly given in Spanish, so you can learn and practice as much Spanish as possible during the lesson. Don't worry about making mistakes; By making mistakes and learning from them, you even become better. Repetition is an important part of my lessons. I often go back to check if you remember what was introduced in previous lessons.

Before we start our lessons, I want to know your reasons for learning Spanish. If you already have some knowledge of Spanish, I will determine your exact level. Once I know your needs, interests, and level, I can select the right materials and design the right course for you.
I find it better to work with a textbook to give structure to the lessons. I also use videos, slides, worksheets, and other teaching materials. If you like, I can also email you exercises and resources so you can continue learning independently.

Our lessons can be online (as per Zoom), I can come to your home (and Haarlem, Velserbroek, Santport-Noord, Driehuis or Heemstede). Disminuya las ubicaciones en otros lugares de interés
Lessons can be one-on-one or in a small group.

Are you looking for a qualified native English teacher (British) with extensive teaching and business experience? If so, I would love to help you!

I have a very simple teaching philosophy. Every single lesson must be challenging, rewarding, and fun – as the best way to learn is with a smile on your face. I adapt our lessons together to your unique needs and goals, including:

• improving your accent and pronunciation;
• helping you avoid steenkool English and typical ‘Dunglish’ words;
• broadening your vocabulary; and
• perfecting your use of tenses.

Most important of all, I can help improve your confidence, which is the key to learning any language.

A speciality of mine is Business English, so I can also help with everything from preparing for an interview or speaking in meetings, to giving a presentation.

While my classes are 100% in English, I can also speak Dutch and Spanish. This gives me a real insight as to why students make certain mistakes, and how to best avoid them.

Hello all,
Spanish and French are my mother tongues. I have been teaching for many years in my spare time either in the evenings or during weekends. I simply like to do it and enjoy helping people of all ages either to start talking or reaching a good level. I use grammar books but also online exercises or games on paper depending on the needs and profile of the student.

I am very passionate about education and I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach his or her full potential.

As a Business and IT Management student at HBO, I have a strong background in mathematics and a good understanding of arithmetic concepts, such as multiplication sums, plus and minus sums, and division by fractions. I am convinced that with my knowledge and experience I can help children improve their math skills and gain more self-confidence in this field.

My approach to teaching is interactive and tailor-made for each individual student. I believe in creating a positive and supportive learning environment where children feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Through various learning methods and exercises, I want to help children make math fun and understandable.

The foundation of a child’s education is a crucial step in their learning journey. In my tutoring sessions, it’s essential to assess each student’s current level to identify where they need the most support and determine the best starting point for their educational development.

I plan my lessons around the specific subjects where the student requires assistance, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet their individual needs and help them progress confidently.
