I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!
That's because I love learning new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
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.

Sandra
American Native English Teacher - English Lessons for Children and TeenagersHello 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 have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. 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.
Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.
I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.

English tutoring - exam preparation - all levels / Cambridge / IBLooking for extra help with English at school? You've come to the right place. I'm happy to help you with all your questions and guide you in practicing the subjects you find difficult. Are you doing really well with speaking, but do you feel like writing is a bit less successful? Then we'll work together on fun assignments to improve your writing skills. So whether you find everything about the subject a bit difficult, or certain subjects such as writing, listening or speaking skills: I'm happy to help you find the way that suits you best to make progress in this. I adapt my lessons to the level and learning style of each student, so that you can achieve your goal as well as possible.
If you have specific questions about your schoolwork or if you have trouble with English at school, it is best to use the material you receive at school in the tutoring as a guideline. I can then supplement this with more assignments and material that suits your level.
I myself went to a bilingual high school and studied English at International Baccalaureate (IB) level. So if you need help practicing for a Cambridge or IB exam, that is also possible!
Please feel free to contact me if you are interested or have any questions.

Greek and English for all levels with a fluent speakerI aim to provide students a pleasant learning experience that will meet their needs and help them achieve their true potential. I put emphasis on making the classes as enjoyable as possible and help the student see languages as a way of communicating and expanding one's understanding of culture rather than pure academic knowledge.

English Language & Literature, and IB Exam Prep for All AgesI 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.
Rico
Guidance in (scientific) writing and communication.Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results.
From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally.
In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student.
I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in:
- Setup and planning
- Doing literature study
- Quality assurance
- Presentation and structure/content
- Popularizing the topics with catchy texts
- Review with a critical look
- Give layout and design input
- And much more
Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!
