English Literature, Writing, and Public Speaking for Kids and Teens - Leiden and Online

Welcome to De Singel Taaltraining & Taaladvies. In The Netherlands almost everyone speaks English, but how great would it be if you could speak Dutch? I teach Dutch from beginners to advanced, in private lessons or in small groups. My name is Rianne and I'm the teacher. Do you want to learn Dutch, contact me! Tot gauw! (See you soon)

I am an Italian native speaker with a bachelor in Italian Literature and Linguistics. In Italy, I usually teach English to high school students​, or adults who want to improve their skills with this language. Usually, I tend to use a non-academic approach, by focusing on the student's interests and make him/her applying the language to their everyday life, instead of simply learning the grammar rules by heart. In my opinion, learning a new language should be fun and easy, nothing too stressful. What you will get from is a new positive and funny way to learn a foreign language such as Italian or English.

Do you communicate in English with clients, colleagues, or people close to you? Do you want your pronunciation, expression, and comprehension to feel more natural and relaxed? Are you trying to improve your English, but aren't sure which program and/or level fits you the best? Are you interested in learning and practicing in real-world contexts in pursuit of accomplishing your goals? Are you ready to enjoy using English even more while still achieving longer-lasting learning? I'm a TEFL-certified, native English teacher from the United States of America with over ten years of professional experience all around the world supporting learners of all levels to speak more fluently and express themselves more deeply in English. My approach begins with learning more about your specific learning journey, interests, and goals. This is the starting point for me to be able to tailor the feedback, learning materials, and lesson plans according to your language background, levels, and target objectives. I believe that language learning always begins with building upon your capabilities in order to challenge you progressively and create longer lasting learning outcomes. Through the methods and techniques we will use, I have acquired fluency in both Spanish and Dutch; therefore, I can understand, translate, and provide instruction in these languages to support your English learning. As I'm currently earning a second Bachelor's degree in English Language & Culture at Leiden University in the Netherlands, I am learning a great deal more about linguistics, pronunciation, grammar, academic research, writing, and how to facilitate effective communication in English. I'm specifically focused on English education through applied linguistics, language acquisition and performance methodologies, such as the use of English as a Lingua Franca amongst native and non-native speakers. I have earned certificates in Teaching English as a Foreign Language(TEFL-320hr) and Hatha Yoga & Meditation Instruction(CYT-200hr). Continuing education has helped me to recognize the enormous importance of individual learning in combination with group work/training and feedback to improve one's practice and performance. I will immediately share appropriate and useful resources as well as feedback for your learning and practice. I can create interactive content during/after training sessions (audio, visual, literary) as requested to give you a competitive advantage beyond the context of the lessons for your own self-study as well. Please contact me for more detailed descriptions of training sessions, levels, or anything else related to the lessons I have on Apprentus (including Hatha Yoga & Meditation). I’m very grateful to pursue this life path and share in the creation of cooperative practice and learning environments with fellow students!

Hi, my name is Antonella and I am Italian. I speak Italian, English, Chinese and Spanish. I am currently working at the University of Leiden for my traineeship. My italian lessons focus on the main aspects of the language, such as grammar, speaking, listening and vocabulary. I also prefer using online apps or games to practise at the end of the lesson, not just regular exercises.

Hello! My name is Leonor and I am a Law Student from Portugal. In the last few months, I worked as an English Teacher in a Refugee Camp and Greece and before that I worked as a Portuguese and English tutor to both middle school and high school students. I had a 8.5/9 IELTS score and have lived abroad for several years, so English is a language I'm really comfortable in speaking. I love creating worksheets and powerpoints. Furthermore, I love summarizing the topics I'm teaching in the end of each lesson and making sure the students never leave class with questions. Creating a comfortable environment for the students to make mistakes is something I consider really important. I would love to teach you Portuguese and English, so you can improve your legal, writing and conversational skills in both languages!

English is a powerful tool in today's interconnected world. Coming from a country where English is predominantly spoken, I understand how important it can be to be able not just to write but also converse in English. I am an American citizen with a strong English education background. I love teaching and have worked as a teaching assistant during my undergraduate studies. I love working with people, especially students, and I hope to use my English prowess to help others! Show quoted text

Private tutoring classes for young children, teenagers, adults and seniors who would like to: > Learn Italian, French and/or English from scratch > Do homework with the support of a tutor > Improve and perfect their language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading) > Prepare for language certifications such as PET, FIRST, TOEFL, DELF, admission exams... > Practice their skills in fun conversations and/or for special occasions About Francesca: I graduated as a translator and interpreter from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and I lived in different countries where I perfected my accent and pronunciation and I also learnt about the local culture (specifically Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, UK, the US). I love foreign languages and cultures and my goal is to pass this enthusiasm on to my students as they also learn "boring" grammar rules. For me it's all about helping you find a method of language learning that makes it easy for you to remember new words and correct grammar. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Although I am a trained philosophy teacher for secondary students, I have shifted my focus to tutoring English and Portuguese language learners. My goal is to provide dynamic classes that allow students to use functional language in real-world ways, but each class can be tailor-made to the individual's needs. I use Cambridge materials for my English classes, in addition to real-world texts and videos, to train students on grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. Student-centered classes are the most beneficial in my opinion, so I focus on having the student speak while also guiding them with the correct language depending on their problem areas.

As I am finishing my Bachelor in Comparative Philosophy at Leiden University, I am more than happy to help high school students and adults who show interest in engaging in critical thinking, whether it is for exams, tests or as personal challenge.

English or Spanish classes based in speaking to improve fluency and vocabulary. You won't need anything else rather than a pen and a paper. We'll talk and I'll teach you how to correctly pronounce, the tenses, false friends and phrasal verbs and anything else you may need in your everyday.

I am a native English speaker from Ireland currently studying MSc Psychology at Leiden University. I received a grade A1 in my Leaving Certificate English studies and my BA degree includes a specialisation in English. I also have experience teaching English as a second language in both Spain and Zambia. I am available for lessons after lectures and during weekends. The lessons can be held in a location that suits you or via Skype, etc. if necessary. These lessons can be for students of any level who want extra support in English acquisition or improvement. As the student you can choose which areas you would most like to focus on and I can structure the lessons with this in mind. This can include areas such as grammar, conversation, vocabulary, and much more. We can discuss together how best I can help you to improve your language skills based on your needs, for example through help with homework or setting additional homework. If the hours shown do not suit you let me know as my lecture hours vary slightly each week and I may be able to fit you in. If you have any questions at all don't hesitate to message me.
