Nice person, very empathic
Great teacher! Fortunella makes the learning environment fun and interactive, while also giving good explanations and exercises.
Fortunella has been a wonderful and energetic tutor! Aside from vocabulary words and verb conjugation, I’ve learned a lot about the culture and received various recommendations for Italian movies, shows, and songs. I’ve had such a great experience since she could pinpoint my weaknesses so that I could improve much faster. Grazie mille!
(ENGLISH BELOW) Fortunella is, as a professional and as a person, simply FANTASTIC... Punctual, nice, professional, funny... we don't miss details! I learned vocabulary, verbs, how to read and pronounce correctly... we talked about culture, society, travel... the topics were endless! My Italian isn't perfect but I really learned and improved so much that I can't believe it. I'm happy to have met you, thank you for your dedication every day, I look forward to returning to class with you! ---------------------------- Fortunella is simply FANTASTIC, both personal and professionally speaking... Punctual, gentle, professional, funny... she doesn't lack any detail! I have learnt vocabulary, verbs, reading and pronouncing correctly... we have spoken about culture, society, travel... the topics were endless! My italian is not perfect, however I have actually learnt and improved so much I can't believe it. I am happy I've met you, thank you for your dedication in every lesson, I hope I come back to do more lessons with you!

This class is aiming for confident Italian speakers and practice is the best way to improve language fluency. My students and I love to split each class into two parts: the first half generally focused on grammar (foundations are crucial) and the second always dedicated to speaking activities and conversation. We'll talk about a number of different topics and share content and ideas while having lots of fun. Classes will be in English, hopefully in Italian :) Please contact me for a tailored learning program designed on your needs!

Learn how to speak Italian fluently with an Italian native speaker!
I am a native Italian speaker, interpreter and translator. I have a bachelor’s degree in cultural and linguistic mediation, and I have completed a master’s degree program in modern languages for international communication with the highest marks in September. Thanks to my degrees and experience as a translator and teacher, I have acquired professional proficiency of the Italian language for teaching and translating purposes. Currently, I live in the Netherlands, where I’ve just completed a traineeship at Leiden University as an Italian teacher for foreigners. I have a strong passion for teaching and I've already experience teaching languages (English and Italian)

English for almost Everyone, from five to 105 years old
General English, Language level assessment, Cambridge English exams, MAVO, HAVO, VWO, Business English, Academic English Special Needs The classes can be taught both in English only or with Dutch to assist instruction. I specialise in helping you understand grammar in a way which makes you apply it. That makes me an effective exam trainer (I am also CELTA-certified, apart from having a Dutch 1st grade qualification and experience in state upper secondary examinations).

Marlena
English for all levels, test preparation and academic writing
Nowadays a good command of English is useful and often even necessary. We come in contact with the language almost everywhere, in school, on television, the internet, in conversations. As a native German speaker I once had to learn the language as well and I know how challenging it can be. I already majored in English at school. After school, I went to a language school in the United States in order to prepare for the TOEFL language certificate. Thereafter I started a bachelor program which was held entirely in English. During my studies I learnt a lot about academic writing practices. Often, the lessons in school focus on grammar and vocabulary failing to to convey a basic understanding of the language. Conversation and writing fall short as well. I am offering lessons for children and teenagers. My goal is to support their learning experience in an engaging way. We will discuss what you need and how I can help you. Be it a basic introduction, grammar or conversational training. I also offer proofreading. Lessons can also be taught via Skype.

Benoit
Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.
