About Me

I am a native English language speaker and a CELTA (Cambridge University) qualified English language trainer. I have been teaching English since 2012 in Luxembourg. I've recently relocated to Amsterdam. I teach 3 to 75 year olds to improve their conversational or business English and also help students prepare for school and IELTS exams.

I specialise in teaching 8-16 year olds by teaching them grammar through fun and unconventional methods in order to strengthen their language basics. I invest a lot of time in creating interesting lesson-plans using situational role-plays, interesting teaching tools (video podcasts, memory games, newspaper articles, flashcards etc.) in an environment relevant to the lesson. I offer flexible timings at a mutually convenient location. I can teach one-on-one, groups or through Skype.

Teaching is all about learning and that is what keeps me going. I truly believe that everyone has their own learning style and each individual learns at their own pace.

Previously, I completed a Masters (MA) in Business Economics and a Masters (MA) in International Pubic Relations from UK.

Emna
English Play Teacher for kids from 2 to 6 years old
There isn't a better way to teach your child the English language than through playing. My job is to introduce the English language while your child is discovering and learning to make sense of the world around them. Through play, children have more capacity to develop linguistic, social, and communication skills, and gain the self-confidence they need. My job is to play with the child while using English vocabulary; as an example, we can play the Zoo game and learn the names of the animals, the noise they make, the food they consume, and where they live in the wild. While we play we can use toys, pictures, songs, videos, and house objects such as fruits and vegetables. We can play inside or outside in a safe environment. I have a program that I developed to help your child learn and have fun at the same time. It consists of games in different themes such as ( Food, Animals, Numbers, Alphabet, Colors, Geography, Nature, Technology, Outfits... ) This program can be discussed and edited by the parent according to their child's needs.

Lotte

I will introduce myself. My name is Lotte, I am 23 years old and I study Medicine at the VU in Amsterdam. In high school I attended bilingual education and lived for six months in Australia for my education. In addition, I also followed a minor Academic English at the VU. I have also been with my boyfriend, who is from London, for 2 years now. So, enough practice with the English language!

I will adapt my lesson to the wishes of the child / young person and his / her parents, or the adult I am going to supervise. It is therefore nice for me to have a good idea of this in advance so that I can tailor the lessons to my students and that I can learn as much as possible at the right level.
