About Me

My name is Francesca, and I am half Italian and half British, though I was born and raised in Italy. I hold a Bachelor's degree in International Relations from Leiden University, where I graduated cum laude.

Currently, I am completing a Research Master's program in Political Communication at the University of Amsterdam and a one-year Master's in Political Science at Leiden University. With a strong academic background in Political and Communication Science, coupled with practical expertise in essay writing and research methods, I am well-equipped to tutor high school and university students in their coursework and help them achieve their academic goals. Moreover, my role as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Amsterdam has equipped me with specialized expertise in tutoring university students.

Additionally, I offer English and Italian lessons for all levels, including preparation for language certifications.

Engels bijles - examentraining - alle niveau's / Cambridge / IB
Op zoek naar extra hulp met Engels op school? Bij mij ben je aan het juiste adres. Ik help je graag met al je vragen en begeleid je in het oefenen met de onderwerpen die je moeilijk vindt. Gaat spreken heel goed, maar lukt schrijven voor je gevoel wat minder? Dan gaan we samen met leuke opdrachten aan de slag om je schrijfvaardigheid bij te spijkeren. Dus of je nou alles van het vak nog een beetje lastig vindt, of bepaalde onderwerpen zoals schrijf-, luister- of spreekvaardigheid: ik ga graag met jou op zoek naar de manier die het beste bij jou past om hierin stappen te zetten. Ik pas mijn lessen aan op het niveau en de leerstijl van iedere leerling, zodat jij zo goed mogelijk je doel kan bereiken. Als je concrete vragen hebt over je schoolwerk of je moeite hebt met Engels op school is het het handigst om het materiaal dat je op school krijgt in de bijlessen als lijdraad te gebruiken. Dit kan ik dan aanvullen met meer opdrachten en materiaal dat past bij jouw niveau. Ik heb zelf op een tweetalige middelbare school gezeten en Engels op International Baccalaureate (IB) niveau gevolgd. Heb je dus hulp nodig met oefenen voor een Cambridge of IB examen, dan kan dat natuurlijk ook! Neem vooral contact op als je geïnteresseerd bent of vragen hebt.

Hi! I'm Tanya. I was born in Italy, but for the last two years of my life I have traveled the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East, traveling and working remotely. I am a professional teacher with 6 years of experience. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.

Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way. My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language. My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning. My classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic.

Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands.

I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities. Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more. For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

English lessons levels A2 to C1 Online and Offline
Latin was popular a thousand years ago, French - a couple centuries ago, English is the language of the 21st century! We'll work on Speaking and Writing skills, and, of course, Grammar. For advanced learners I fancy such books as Destination and Grammar in Use (we won't be restrained by just these, though). With beginners we'll be maintaining a decent active vocabulary. After the lesson I'd appreciate feedback a lot :-)

Summer

Klaudia
English Tutoring with Holistic Approach for All Levels
English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills. Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid. I'm a 3-year Linguistic student, I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 3 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. That's why I offer the first meeting unpaid, so we can get acquainted and discuss the expectations of both sides. In classes, I will try to raise your confidence and knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. I will focus on your strengths and teach you how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential and together achieve the goals you set for yourself.

I specialise in English (British & American) tuition for native and non-native speakers of all ages, and have experience working with: • young children learning English for the first time • primary- and secondary-school students studying the English language and its literatures • adult professionals and seniors wishing to improve their language skills, or develop pronunciation or presentational skills I have two degrees in English language and literature (B.A. and Mst) from the University of Oxford, and I am also a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) Diploma program. I've developed a creative approach in my sessions with students that involves applying a student's particular talents and interests (regardless of subject) in the process of language acquisition, along with the simultaneous development of critical skills like close and careful reading, argumentation, written style, and effective communication. I am versed in the requirements and intricacies of a range of national and international diploma programs. When working with students supplementing an academic syllabus, my goal is always to position them to succeed in the assignments and assessments laid out by a primary instructor.
