English Communication/ Conversation With an Experienced Native-Speaking Teacher
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.

Extra information
I primarily use and recommend the Zoom platform for online teaching for its reliability, video/sound quality, and support for varieties of teaching resources. Students can use Zoom from their browser or by downloading the app on your computer or phone/tablet (but use of the app on your computer is recommended for the best quality).Location

About Me
I'm from Canada and have taught English in Vietnam and Prague since 2016 and also have many years of Canadian university teaching experience in cultural and humanities subject areas and in architecture/design. I’m also a writer-artist-designer since 1992, with a number of published artist books. I received a professional architecture degree in 1989 and the Trinity College English teaching certification in 2019. I’m a native-English speaker with an easy-to-understand, neutral Canadian accent.Education
Bachelor of Environmental Design, Univ. of Waterloo, Canada, 1985Bachelor of Architecture (Professional Degree, Equivalent to Masters), Univ. of Waterloo, Canada, 1989

Experience / Qualifications
I’ve worked mainly with adults (including high-school and university students as well as working adults); from B1 to C2 level; in groups and 1-on-1; at language centers, universities, companies, and privately; and mostly on communication/conversational English (focusing on speaking and listening skills), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading. For the last 2 years, a lot of my teaching has been online, mostly using Zoom; it started as a necessity during the Covid lockdowns but now many students prefer it even if we’re in the same city, though I still enjoy teaching F2F as well.Ask a question

Mathematics courses given by pre-PhD math studentsMathematics is a very important subject in the schools and even in the universities. As a math-major student, I have a good knowledge of math. I could offer courses for students preparing for exams in the schools, or possibly the math olympiads. I would also be happy to give more advanced courses for students who want to know more about modern mathematics, which might also be useful for high school or college-entrance exams.

Learning Japanese for Traveling and conversation with japanese.Are you planning a trip to Japan?
The truth is, most Japanese people don’t speak much English. While they may try to communicate using a few words, knowing even a little Japanese can be incredibly helpful! It will also make them happy and even more welcoming.
In this class, I will focus on practical conversation, based on my experience as a tour guide. We’ll cover essential Japanese phrases that my guests often wanted to learn while traveling.
With this knowledge, you’ll be able to enjoy conversations with locals, creating unforgettable memories on your trip to Japan.

My past & present clients have included: professionals and politicians from all four major EU institutions, the Belgian government, the UNHCR, and various NGOs, alongside diplomats, doctors, journalists, and engineers, as well as a variety of other professions in addition to traditional students..I have had over 50+ repeat students on Apprentus (which recently changed their algorithm to only display the last six months).
Approaching from a true native's perspective, I instruct and assist with both educational and business English in a multi-faceted nature covering a wide range of areas including comprehension, conversation, grammar, and situational skills, in addition to working on general language skills and accent training. As well, I can provide extensive help and training with the EPSO, IELTS, and TOEFL exams.

Learn Dutch in a short time - experienced coach (24 years of experience) State Exam NT2 trainer - inspired to teach Dutch to expatsA qualified language coach with 24 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 24 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.

English Tutoring for Adults - Beginners to AdvancedHello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual.
My classes are for adults and professionals, who want to:
. Develop and widen their vocabulary;
. Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview;
. Gain confidence in spoken English;
. Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English
We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors.
After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

Support in English, learn English at your own paceEnglish, although it is an easier language than some others, can, at times, prove to be complicated.
Bilingual following my childhood spent in England, I offer support from elementary school to high school (and more), whatever your level (basic or not).
Whether it is for a school aid or to better understand English, speak it, review basics that have not been completely acquired, build sentences, write paragraphs, analyze words and use them, improve pronunciation, spelling, translating, or just conversing in English ..., I offer my help.
My services in learning English are quite broad: we will analyze what you are missing and I will adapt the course according to your needs, so that it is no longer a problem.

English conversation classes and homework helpStudent in M1 Public Law at the University of Paris-II, I completed part of my studies abroad including my third year in Japan and a final year in the United States. I give conversation classes and homework help classes in English.
The courses are mainly intended for students with a beginner or intermediate level. Depending on the needs indicated before the session, I can adapt to all requests and create tailor-made courses in listening comprehension, reading comprehension and oral and written expression.
For conversation classes, the goal is to help you express yourself both on a given subject and in everyday life. Classes can be done alone with me or in a group. For homework help, I mainly offer help for school levels up to the bachelor's degree. Having completed part of my law studies abroad, I also offer more specific courses on law subjects studied in English.
