Private English Lessons with a Native English Speaker
I am a certified English teacher who has recently moved to Rotterdam from the United States. English is my native language. Whether you are a true beginner, intermediate, or an advanced English speaker who is simply looking for someone to practice with, I am here to help. I have a true understanding of how intimidating learning a new language can be and tailor each lesson to suit your individual needs. We will assess what you already know and work together to set goals that will push you out of your comfort zone but not be overwhelming. Since moving to Rotterdam I have helped many students work towards their English language learning goals. I have experience teaching ESL (English as a second language) for business and regularly help ESL students prepare for interviews. A little about the lessons: I like to use a variety of materials to build my lessons but a typical lesson will focus on a relevant topic to suit your interests and needs, and give you various opportunities to practice listening, comprehension, discussion, formation of complex thoughts and ideas, reading, and building vocabulary. I like to utilize technology when it can be used to enrich the lesson and assign homework as a continuation of our session. *My rate includes our time together as well as additional time spent outside of class preparing your individualized lessons/materials and building a program that works best for your English language learning needs. I am flexible with scheduling and have a passion for helping others! I cannot wait to meet you :) Please feel free to message me with further questions about my teaching method and current availability.

Maths lessons by EUR Quantitative Finance Masters Student
Hey there, I'm Niall. I am 23 years old from Ireland, and I am an incoming masters student at EUR, where I will be studying Quantitative Finance. I worked as a private maths tutor for 4 years during my Bachelors degree in Dublin. I studied Actuarial & Financial Studies in Dublin which was extremely maths heavy and now I am continuing my studies in Quantitative Finance. In school, I achieved 97% in the Irish Leaving Cert, which is a similar level to IB AA HL. I have worked for the past year at a Boarding School in Switzerland, assisting in Maths & English lessons, and taking care of the students in the boarding house. I have also worked as a camp counsellor for three summers, teaching field sports, water sports and leading activities for teenagers. I have years experience with tutoring maths and I know exactly how to get the students thinking and solving problems themselves. I enjoy the challenge of dealing with difficult students who are not keen on studying maths. Additionally, I am a very sporty and outgoing person who can from good relationships with the students.

Speak Up! English for Global Communication; Basic Skills for Everyday Use
Hi there! I’m a certified English teacher with a strong passion for helping students build confidence and fluency. After completing my certification, I took several private teaching courses to improve my skills—and now I’m excited to use those tools to help you succeed in your English journey. Whether you're looking to gain confidence when speaking, learn to think in English, or simply improve your skills, I’ve got you covered. I work with students of all ages and backgrounds—from complete beginners to more advanced learners. For children, I offer progressive, age-appropriate vocabulary and grammar lessons, designed to be fun and effective. I currently teach students as young as five years old and understand how to keep young minds engaged. (Did you know the best time to learn a second language is before age 10?) But don’t worry—it’s never too late! I personally learned Spanish at 30, and I believe anyone can succeed with the right support. For adults, I use a variety of helpful tools and resources to make lessons both engaging and practical. Whether you're focused on conversation, grammar, or vocabulary, lessons are always tailored to fit your needs—and we can even use your own materials if you’d like. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching students from China, Korea, Spain, France, Turkey, Croatia, Saudi Arabia, and many other countries. No matter where you're from or what your goals are, I’m here to help. Let’s give it a try—you just might reach your goal in 3 months!
