Laura
SPAANS LEREN! Native spanish speaker teacher with certification by Instituto Cervantes and more than 8 years of experience in teachingI am Laura , a Spanish woman living in The Hague. I have been teaching and helping high school students with their homework and study methods since 2014 as a private tutor. I have experience as a language teacher in different schools in Madrid (extracurricular activities) for children between 3 and 10 years old. I work as a Spanish teacher since 2019 in various countries, helping numerous students to improve their speaking, listening and writing skills.
I studied Nutrition and Dietetics (4 years bachelor) at Complutense University of Madrid. Later and determined by my love for languages, I completed the BA in Linguistics in Leiden University, following the Brain and Cognition specialization, which focuses in how language and second languages learning works in a neural level.
Depending on the goal, the learning or lesson method is different. Normally, the first day I meet the student and we talk about what he or she expects and the topics we need to pay more attention. From that, I organise and structure a learning plan for reaching the desired goals (listening, speaking, writing, etc) or level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2).

Not only that, but because it’s so widely spoken, it opens you up to a huge number of new cultural experiences, which will help you develop life skills, meet new people and grow your confidence in handling new situations.
Have I convinced you yet? If you’ve been inspired to learn English, consider enrolling in my course!

Brady
Spanish, English and Mandarin Chinese Tutor Online and OfflinePlease send me a message to know my availability in more detail!
Hey! I'm Brady. Nice to meet you! 👋🏼
I was born in the Netherlands but moved to Spain, the Dominican Republic, and later to China. I'm a native of Spanish and English and proficient in Mandarin Chinese (HSK6). I completed my Chinese studies in 2019 in Harbin, China.
I have been working as a Spanish, English, and Mandarin Chinese tutor online for two years and work at the Confucius Institute of the Dominican Republic as a mandarin tutor throughout 2019-2020.
Over the last year, I have had over 250 students from all over the world and 1000 lessons. More than 100 out of 250 students are kids aged 5-15. For the kids, I will always prepare some extra material, and having a parent during the first lesson is always recommended ;)
My main aim is to make you feel comfortable during our lessons, create a comfortable setting for you, and modify the class to your liking.
I can teach in all three languages, so I'll make sure communication is excellent between us all the time!

If you would like to on a trip to a Spanish-speaking country or you are planning to go to study or work there, if you are interested in Catalan culture and its language... you are more than welcomed!

I'm a bilingual native speaker of Spanish and Catalan, with some experience teaching the language to foreigners when I was living in Barcelona (before I moved to The Hague), and also giving private lessons to high school students.

Conversational partner and or written support in Spanish, English and German.A language is the key to communication and in the interconnected, globalized world that we find ourselves in, a language can really broaden your horizons and extend your web. In addition, a new language also brings culture with it and a vast array of new traveling opportunities.
However, despite all of these advantages, learning a language can be challenging and demotivating, in particular when it is studied without being in touch with native speakers and the corresponding culture that a language brings with it.
The language tutoring provided will be personalized to the student's needs and will provide the cultural context that comes with a language, allowing for a more enjoyable and interactive language acquisition process.
If you are looking to improve your conversational skills or even written proficiency, This is the class for you.

- I offer attentive and demanding teaching, but I am convinced that this is only really possible in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere - you learn better when you dare to make mistakes!
- I do not believe that there is a single method or textbook suitable for everyone. Hence the importance for me of always getting to know my students in order to build an effective progression.
- I systematically tailor my lessons to the particular needs of each student, depending of course on his or her abilities but also on his or her favorite subjects.
- I ask the students to do exercises (lexical or grammatical) at home after each lesson, in electronic (pdf) or paper format. We systematically correct them at the beginning of each class.
- The dialogue between the students and the teacher is very important. Not a lesson goes by without them talking about life and the events in the news...
- I prepare for examinations (DL, DELF/DALF, TEF, TCF, CCIP, TELC, CIEP, LPE...)

Children will have the opportunity to critique, review and make films and will learn about the five stages of developing, planning, producing and exhibiting a movie.

Théo
English class with a native speakerI am a French and English tutor. I was born and raised in France. However, I lived in England for 3 years and therefore I am fluent in English. Furthermore, in England I studied law and therefore I have a solid knowledge of legal English that allows me to share my knowledge with my students.
I believe it is the best way to learn and practice it, orally, through formal or informal conversations and then balancing this practice with one's writing skills.
My classes are quite dynamic and I am very flexible and can adapt to the student's needs.As well as fluent in English, the classes can be taught in English. I also provide support for any homework or tasks as requested by the student.
