My name is Tatjana, conscious part of my life I have been feeling passion for Asia, therefore, I have made up my mind to study International Business for Asia and Japanese language. Languages have always been my strength and one of my biggest interests. My native language is Russian, I am also fluent in English and Lithuanian.
Currently, I am intensively learning Japanese and Dutch. I understand how challenging the way of learning a foreign language can be. I have been studying various methods of making the learning process pleasant and productive. I can help you on your way of learning complicated, but also one of the most beautiful languages in the world, the Russian language.

Who? I am a twenty-eight-year-old French and U.S. Anthropology student. I am trained in FLE (French as a Second Language) and have worked for the National French Education Ministry as a Middle School Teacher on the beautiful island of Mayotte. Following that exotic experience, I decided to change course and study Anthropology all the while teaching French as a Second Language on a freelance basis. I moved to the Netherlands just recently and have decided to continue practicing as a French tutor. I have also tutored English classes in France for five years.

What? I offer French or FLE (French as a Second Language) courses based on multiple sources and I regularly renew them because it is important to be in adequacy with today's society. As I just started learning Dutch, I teach in English all the while aiming for 90% French during the class.

Where? Normally I go to the learner's home. For the moment, online courses are also popular.

When? I work every day of the week.

🇬🇧Hello! I'm Erika from Tokyo.
I previously worked in a trading company and in a music agency in Japan.
I studied Russian at university (C1 level) and French in Paris (B2 level), so I truly understand how challenging it is to start a new language and continue until you reach an intermediate or even advanced level.

I enjoy playing musical instruments, dancing, and doing crafts.
As a naturally curious person, I don't want you to give up learning something new just because you feel you may not have enough time for self-study.

With me, you can simply keep going at a steady pace —
I will remind you of essential points, help you build habits, and guide you in every lesson, so you can make progress without stress or worrying about time management.

I can work remotely and can offer lessons early in the morning Japan time, so I am available for students in Europe or America as well.

Please feel free to contact me with your preferred schedule.

I look forward to supporting your Japanese learning journey!

I studied Russian at university (C1 level) and French in Paris (B1 level).
So I know how difficult it can be to start a new language and progress to an intermediate or advanced level.

I enjoy playing instruments, dancing, and creating handcrafted items.
Being naturally curious, I would like to accompany you so that you too can start something new without fear or hesitation.

With me, you won't need to worry about self-learning time:
I will guide you regularly, I will repeat the important points, and you will be able to progress simply by attending the classes — without stress.

I can work remotely and teach early in the morning, Japan time.
Therefore, I can easily adapt to students living in Europe or America.
Feel free to contact me to let me know your preferred times.

I would be delighted to help you discover Japanese and progress at your own pace!

Hello! 👋

My name is Rafael and I’m from Portugal! :)

I would love to help you on this adventure of learning the Portuguese language.
I’m fluent in teaching both bacalhau Portuguese and caipirinha Portuguese (PT & BR). I’m deeply involved with both cultures.

My classes are tailored to meet the needs of my students. I have the experience and skills to offer conversation lessons and/or more structured classes focused on grammar.
Whatever your reason for seeking Portuguese lessons, I’m here to listen and help you in any way I can.

FYI: I’m also a musician, so we can chat a lot about music or even incorporate it into our Portuguese lessons. Have you ever wanted to analyze the lyrics of Bossa Nova or Fado? If you love Brazilian or Portuguese music, we can definitely use it as class material.

I have been teaching at the Una Paloma Blanca language school in Rotterdam since 2020.

Here, I had the chance to really develop my teaching craft, working with many different students, each with their own needs and reasons for learning Portuguese. I had the opportunity to teach both European and Brazilian Portuguese to individual and group classes.

In addition to this work, I also provided private lessons to some students who needed preparation before moving to Brazil or Portugal.

In my classes, we set personal goals, and I help you with all the knowledge and experience I have.

My lessons are balanced with a good amount of conversation practice, grammar and exercises.

So, you want to learn Portuguese, but you’re still not sure if I’m the right person to help?

I would be delighted to do a lesson so we can introduce ourselves and discuss how I can assist you!

Let me show you how I can be a fun and efficient Portuguese tutor! :)

Thank you for your attention, and I hope to see you in class!
