About Me

As an English teacher I combine different teaching methods and materials to create lessons that are engaging and effectively teach certain language skills such as speaking and writing. My lessons are somewhat challenging and can involve topics around the latest trends as well as the learner's areas of interest. It's important to map out the learner's goals at the beginning and I adapt my lessons to these goals and needs of the student.
I have a lot of experience in working with people from different backgrounds and cultures. I try and keep it lighthearted and fun. I am eager to work with both young people and adults. Hope to see you soon!

A qualified language coach with 25 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.

I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.

In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).

We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.

My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.

Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.

This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.

I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 25 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.

I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

Half German living in Brussels and having studied in an International School, I am fluent in French, English and German.
I am currently doing my masters in Rotterdam at RSM and would like to offer French and/or English classes to students. I believe communicating with students in the language they would like to learn is key if they want to become confident in the language. Hence, I suggest doing skype classes or real life meetings at home or outdoors depending on your preferences and talking together will be very helpful for the student to improve in a particular language. I will also help with homework, grammar and the theoretical side of the language if desired.
I have been a counsellor in summer camps in Canada where I had to teach small children aged from 5-15 English. Some of them didn't even know a single word of English when they arrived. It was very hard but we managed to get to know each other, communicate well and believe me, their English improved a lot.

I'm a native English speaker from Canada, currently living in Prague, with many years of ESL and university teaching experience. I can help you gain confidence and improve skills through stimulating, content-based lessons with varieties of topics, activities and materials, designed and adapted to your level, interests, and requirements, and what you and I together feel we want and need to work on flexibly week by week.

I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, and including improving vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading.

My teaching style is engaging, creative and friendly—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students enjoy primarily having conversation without other resources needed, but I also often use songs, videos, and texts of various kinds to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and I also use varieties of ESL material from various internet sources as well.

Underachieve?
Getting low grades and not knowing why?
No motivation to study?

It is often difficult for parents to estimate whether the child needs tutoring. And if it is certain that the child needs tutoring, 9 out of 10 times it is too late (stay put, advice too low, etc..)

to prevent this, sign up NOW for homework guidance!
for both high school and elementary school students.

I can come to the tutoring student myself (at home) or via facetime, teams and video calling.

Hello there! I am a university student at Erasmus University and would be thrilled to help others learn the languages I am comfortable and confident speaking! I am Italian and would happily teach such a dear to me! Moreover, I have always studied in a French-speaking school, making me fluent in both languages and prepared to juggle and learn languages myself. Additionally, I have been studying English since I was four and am currently studying for my bachelor's degree in English! I have certificates for all the languages I speak, and as I have, been learning multiple languages since a young age, I consider myself fit to help others understand them too! The structure of lessons would be customized to the wants and needs of my students, and therefore we would set goals together and work towards them!

Below are all my langauge certificates and grades!

italian: terza media 9/10, maturita' italiana 100/100
french: baccalaureat 18/20, in the subject french writing (17/20) speaking (20/20)

My name is Mohamed from Syria, and I hold a degree in Business Administration. My journey with the English language began with a deep passion for learning it. Through dedication and hard work, I mastered the language using Cambridge curricula and other studies, achieving an advanced academic level (C1). This accomplishment inspired me to turn my passion into a mission, becoming an English teacher to support students eager to learn.

For the past three years, I have been volunteering as an English teacher in a non-profit organization, teaching both beginner-level students starting from scratch and intermediate levels (B1-B2).

My Teaching Approach:
I believe that learning English should be enjoyable and easy to apply in everyday life. My teaching method focuses on:

- Simplifying Grammar: Presenting rules in a clear and straightforward manner.
- Improving Speaking Skills: Developing conversational fluency with an emphasis on pronunciation and accent improvement.
- Interactive Activities: Using diverse educational activities to engage students.
- Practical Application: Addressing all aspects of the language that one might need in daily life, whether as a student or for other personal and professional purposes.

I am a TEFL-certified English teacher who is excited to help you achieve all of the goals you have set for yourself on the journey of learning English. I combine elements of traditional methodologies with some less traditional methods and approaches that I have extracted from my own experience with learning, as I am someone who speaks several different languages and am therefore very familiar with this process and what it takes to get better at a new language. I look forward to showing you how simultaneously efficient and fun learning a new language can be.
