English Language and English Diction Lessons For All Levels
Knowing English in the Netherlands is an important skill. Being confident with the grammar, comprehension and diction with English opens doors for you locally and internationally. I offer English lessons that focus on application for all levels and goals. You learn to correctly pronounce North American or Mid-Atlantic English (not-quite British), and have creative and goal specific exercises and lesson plans all tailored to your needs. I work with children and school-aged children, young professionals preparing for interviews, as well as adults wanting to sharpen their skills and take their English to the next level.

About Me
Hi! I am Jessica and I am from Canada. I am a classical singer, singing teacher and English language coach. I enjoy working with all levels and ages and my favourite part of teaching is helping someone to realize that they can learn a new skill, be it English or music! I enjoy cycling, reading, exploring the Netherlands, singing with my duo partner in Duo TInuviel, and spending time taking my two kittens for adventures.Education
I have studied music for 25 years playing violin, cello and singing. I studied at the University of British Columbia, completed my Bachelor Degree in Music and Voice, University of Toronto (both in Canada) and continuously advance my education as a performer and teacher through private lessons, masterclass and courses. I have traveled around Canada and Europe with my studies and performances.Experience / Qualifications
10 years teaching children, teenagers and adults of all ages music appreciation and singing lessons in several cities across Canada, Berlin (Germany) and in Utrecht (Netherlands). I taught with my private studio as well as an employee with multiple music studios. I also work with my own singing teacher in private lessons on Singing Pedagogy.Reviews (1)
Very knowledgeable and fun
I teach private singing lessons to children, teenagers, and adults in English (for now) and beginner music theory for all ages.
I have 20 years of experience as a performer and 10 years of teaching experience and have a passion for sharing music with others through music education. I believe that singing is a joyful expression of each unique voice and person.
My teaching philosophy is to nurture students to have a fun and positive relationship with music no matter the level or age. My focus on a classical vocal technique gives the student a clear understanding of vocal technique, including breathing techniques, pitch control, musicality, and the knowledge to explore any genre of song. Basic music theory, rhythm, diction, sight-reading, and ear training are also taught to the student to support a well-rounded musical experience. I also teach students how to practice, giving them the tools to feel confident in their own learning process. Absolute beginners are welcome!

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.

Chinese language and culture speaking writing readingLearn Chinese language and culture with a lot of fun. The approach helps you remember easily and apply in the daily life or work environments. The Chinese culture such as Chinese calligraphy, festivals, life and work culture will open your view towards China and help you understand and branding in Chinese context.
By combining Phonetic Training, Repetition and Drills, Interactive Activities, Visual and Audio Aids, Feedback and Correctionteachers, Culturally Relevant Materials, Use of Technology, Structured Language Lessons, I create a diverse and engaging learning environment that assists students in mastering the Chinese language and improving their pronunciation effectively.
Tailoring Chinese lessons to a student’s learning style and preferences involves a combination of assessing their individual needs, adapting teaching methods, and creating a personalized learning plan. Here’s how I approach it:
1. Understanding Learning Styles
Initial Assessment: I start with a questionnaire or discussion to understand how the student learns best—visually, auditorily, kinesthetically, or through reading and writing.
Trial Activities: Observing their engagement during different activities (e.g., flashcards, conversations, or listening exercises) helps confirm their preferences.
2. Personalized Content
Relevant Topics: Incorporate the student’s interests (e.g., travel, business, pop culture) to make lessons engaging.
Cultural Integration: If they’re interested in Chinese culture, history, or traditions, I integrate cultural anecdotes, idioms, or holiday practices into the curriculum.
Professional Needs: For those learning Chinese for work, I focus on industry-specific vocabulary and scenarios.
3. Methodology Adjustments
Visual Learners: Use diagrams, flashcards, and videos to teach characters, grammar structures, and tones.
Auditory Learners: Focus on listening and speaking activities, such as audio recordings, songs, and conversational practice.
Kinesthetic Learners: Incorporate hands-on activities like stroke order practice, role-playing scenarios, or physical games to reinforce learning.
Reading/Writing Learners: Provide text-heavy materials, exercises, and encourage journaling or essay writing in Chinese.
4. Adapting the Pacing
Some students prefer a structured approach with grammar rules and systematic progress, while others thrive in a more immersive and conversational environment. I adjust the lesson flow accordingly.
5. Technology and Resources
Recommend apps, online tools, or games tailored to their style (e.g., Skritter for visual learners, podcasts for auditory learners).
Share supplementary materials like interactive ebooks, videos, or worksheets that align with their pace and interests.
6. Feedback and Flexibility
Regularly check in with the student to ensure the lessons are effective and enjoyable.
Be ready to tweak the teaching strategy if their needs or goals evolve.
7. Building Confidence
Celebrate milestones, like mastering tones or writing a paragraph, to keep motivation high.
Use error correction techniques suited to their preference—some prefer immediate feedback, while others benefit from reflective corrections after the session.

Spanish classes from beginner to advanced by a native speakerI believe that learning languages should be fun and entertaining, not just a chore, so I have individual program for each student that I create based on the factors discussed before we start. After our first class I will create a program that I believe is best suitable, however it can be altered and negotiated per your request.
Spanish is second most spoken language in the world, not only is it useful it's also very beautiful and rich with unique culture. If you always wanted to visit Latin America and be able to speak with locals, love Spanish music and wish you could understand it or simply need preparation for exam or enhancing your professional skills, I can help you with that!

Math or Physics Tutoring with a dose of fun (Online or in Utrecht)Hey!
Do you have troubles with homework/school or just understanding basic concepts? Or your kids need some extra training to be the best of the best?
I would love to be of help. In my online classes, we have discussions and watch videos to figure out what exactly is the missing link to supreme confidence in the subject. And ofcourse, solving problems is taken seriously to gain mastery.
Usually my classes are in advance of what is going on in school. This helps the student be prepared in advance for the class. Normal routine can also be followed on the other hand.
