American Native English Teacher - English Lessons for Children and Teenagers

From 60 C$ /h

Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities.

Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.

I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.

This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies.
It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture.

I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

During my studies in Econometrics at the University of Amsterdam (graduated in 2015, MSc.) and in addition to my job as a consultant, I have always taught mathematics and statistics to secondary school students and university students (HBO and WO) with great pleasure. Since 2017 I have assisted students from different study backgrounds (from civil engineering to psychology) with writing their thesis and since 2022 I work parttime as a math teacher and educational advisor in the Emma Children's Hospital in Amsterdam and I teach private students.

Lessons can be taught in English or Dutch and face-to-face or online, depending on the location.

Location face-to-face classes: Citizen M Amsterdam, at your home or in the public library.

I am an experienced and certified mathematics tutor specializing in a range of curriculums, including AS and A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE, SATs, Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With a proven track record of guiding students to success in these rigorous exams, I understand the unique challenges each curriculum presents. My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.

Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics. This method not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for advanced problem-solving scenarios. I utilize a variety of teaching methods, from visual aids to interactive exercises, to cater to different learning styles and make the subject more relatable.

In my sessions, I focus on developing effective problem-solving strategies. I guide students through step-by-step processes for tackling various types of mathematical problems, helping them to analyze questions critically and approach solutions systematically. This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications. I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, as this fosters a deeper understanding of the material.

I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused. I believe that learning should be a positive experience, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their concerns and challenges.

Throughout my tutoring career, I have seen firsthand the transformative impact of personalized education. Many of my students have achieved outstanding results, including high grades and scholarships, thanks to the tailored support I provide. I take immense pride in their accomplishments, and my dedication to their success is unwavering.

In addition to my expertise in mathematics, I emphasize the importance of a growth mindset. I encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. This perspective not only helps them in their studies but also equips them with resilience that will serve them well in all areas of life.

If you're looking for expert tutoring that delivers outstanding results, I invite you to book a lesson today. Together, we can embark on a journey toward academic excellence in mathematics. I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential. Don't hesitate to reach out; I am here to support you every step of the way!

I aim to provide students a pleasant learning experience that will meet their needs and help them achieve their true potential. I put emphasis on making the classes as enjoyable as possible and help the student see languages as a way of communicating and expanding one's understanding of culture rather than pure academic knowledge.

I offer personalized Turkish and English language tutoring focused on real communication, confidence, and individual learning goals. My teaching style is flexible, attentive, and adapted to each student rather than strictly following a textbook structure.

I have experience working only with adult students. I have taught English to private students in a friendly and productive setting, and I currently teach Turkish to a director at International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA). These experiences helped me develop a teaching approach that is both structured and personal.

For every student, I:
Prepare lessons individually according to their needs, interests, and level
Keep detailed notes of recurring mistakes and areas that need improvement
Revise and adjust the course plan weekly based on progress
Focus on speaking, comprehension, grammar, pronunciation, and natural usage together
Create a comfortable and motivating learning environment

Classes take place once a week on a fixed day and time, and can be either:
1 hour
1.5 hours

Lessons can be held:
Online
In person around Amsterdam

My approach is especially suitable for students looking for a more adaptive, engaging, and needs-based learning experience rather than a rigid textbook format.

I believe children learn best when they are active participants in their education, not just listeners. My methodology relies on three things:

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL): If your child is learning English as a second language, we will practice it through academic subjects they already study, such as Math, Science, or Geography. This makes language acquisition natural, practical, and highly engaging.

Visual Learning: I use interactive whiteboards, educational games, and colourful slides to keep students focused and excited throughout the 50-minute lesson.

Curriculum Alignment: If your child is struggling with schoolwork, I align our lessons directly with what they are learning in class to boost their grades and classroom confidence.

I am a copywriter and a creative by profession, not a traditional teacher, and for many people, that is precisely the reason to choose me. English is the language in which I work daily. I studied and lived in it (film school in London) and worked internationally for ten years: on brands, campaigns, and even the original concept for a TV format.

I offer two things that complement each other well. On the English side: learning to speak naturally, increased self-confidence, and practical writing such as work emails, presentations, and pitches, built around real-life situations rather than dry exercises from a book. On the storytelling side: copywriting, brand and personal stories, content that sticks, motivational texts, and scripts. Ideas, structure, voice, and impact.

Come for one thing, another, or both. Every lesson is one-on-one and fully tailored to your goals. Ideal for professionals, expats, entrepreneurs, and creators. Also for sharpening your CV, LinkedIn profile, or cover letter: I help you put yourself on paper clearly and convincingly. Teenagers are also welcome for help with writing: essays, school texts, or a first CV. I work on clarity, structure, and confidence on paper—not exam training, but learning to write more effectively.

I am Imran, 18 years old and a student in 5 VWO (with a completed HAVO diploma). Over the past two years, I have gained experience as a peer coach for lower secondary students, guiding them in science subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Additionally, I provide Cito training to primary school students from the age of 7, and I have experience giving private lessons at home.

Whether it concerns extra practice for the Cito test in primary school, or help with science subjects in the lower years of secondary school, I explain calmly and step by step, and align with the level and subject matter of your own school.

Tutor with 10 years of experience in teaching Physics, Maths, Bio, Chemistry and Englilsh offering help in your studies for your high school and Bachelor degrees.

The tutoring would start with a verification and consolidation of the bases as I believe you cannot build knowledge on brittle foundations. Through exercises, discussions and tailored tests, we will achieve mastery of the material and prepare you for your studies.

General English: I design the English course based on your personal needs, interests, and motivations. Based on your profile and existing level of English, the course would focus on a specific combination of grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

English for academic purposes: This course would cover the key aspects of English needed in higher education and academic contexts. In addition to grammar and vocabulary, the course trains the key receptive and productive skills needed in higher education. Receptive skills involve reading and listening to academic texts. Productive skills involve writing and speaking for academic purposes (e.g., research papers, research proposals, essays, presentations, and others).
