English Language Training for Professional and Personal Development

My focus is mainly on having a conversation in Mandarin Chinese. I was raised bilingually so my Chinese pronunciation is just as good as my Dutch. My family is from Beijing, hence my accent is 'pure'. A description of the lesson is mainly holding conversations in different scenarios; from applying for a job to ordering food in a restaurant. I also like to provide information about Chinese culture and its ways/habits. These lessons will help you learn to speak Chinese and its fluency.

I am an Italian native speaker with a bachelor in Italian Literature and Linguistics. In Italy, I usually teach English to high school students​, or adults who want to improve their skills with this language. Usually, I tend to use a non-academic approach, by focusing on the student's interests and make him/her applying the language to their everyday life, instead of simply learning the grammar rules by heart. In my opinion, learning a new language should be fun and easy, nothing too stressful. What you will get from is a new positive and funny way to learn a foreign language such as Italian or English.

I'm a polyglot & passionate teacher of foreign languages with teaching certificates in all 5 languages and more than 14 years of experience in the classroom and online. I have lived in several countries (Spain, UK, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands) and I have taught language classes to students of all ages in groups and individually. I offer classes in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Catalan. Also German and Swedish for beginners.

Rippy is the fearless captain of Tumbleweed Writers, offering classes in literature, writing, and public speaking. She also dotes on libraries. As her children were growing up, she wondered if there was a way she could continue spending her days reading the mountain of books she had collected. In a burst of creativity, she designed several classes she believed would benefit and delight young people. Genuinely, she wants to help a new generation of thinkers, readers, and writers. Imagining tumbleweeds jiggling, wiggling, and possibly even giggling as they fly across empty fields, she named her company after this thistle when she realized it could be a metaphor for writers who are often a bit clumsy and wild with ideas and words before finally tumbling freely and ferociously. Rippy creates a safe and inspired space for her students, who she nicknames 'tumbleweeds', where she brightly engages them in online classes.

Hello! My name is Leonor and I am a Law Student from Portugal. In the last few months, I worked as an English Teacher in a Refugee Camp and Greece and before that I worked as a Portuguese and English tutor to both middle school and high school students. I had a 8.5/9 IELTS score and have lived abroad for several years, so English is a language I'm really comfortable in speaking. I love creating worksheets and powerpoints. Furthermore, I love summarizing the topics I'm teaching in the end of each lesson and making sure the students never leave class with questions. Creating a comfortable environment for the students to make mistakes is something I consider really important. I would love to teach you Portuguese and English, so you can improve your legal, writing and conversational skills in both languages!

English is a powerful tool in today's interconnected world. Coming from a country where English is predominantly spoken, I understand how important it can be to be able not just to write but also converse in English. I am an American citizen with a strong English education background. I love teaching and have worked as a teaching assistant during my undergraduate studies. I love working with people, especially students, and I hope to use my English prowess to help others! Show quoted text

Private tutoring classes for young children, teenagers, adults and seniors who would like to: > Learn Italian, French and/or English from scratch > Do homework with the support of a tutor > Improve and perfect their language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading) > Prepare for language certifications such as PET, FIRST, TOEFL, DELF, admission exams... > Practice their skills in fun conversations and/or for special occasions About Francesca: I graduated as a translator and interpreter from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and I lived in different countries where I perfected my accent and pronunciation and I also learnt about the local culture (specifically Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, UK, the US). I love foreign languages and cultures and my goal is to pass this enthusiasm on to my students as they also learn "boring" grammar rules. For me it's all about helping you find a method of language learning that makes it easy for you to remember new words and correct grammar. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Although I am a trained philosophy teacher for secondary students, I have shifted my focus to tutoring English and Portuguese language learners. My goal is to provide dynamic classes that allow students to use functional language in real-world ways, but each class can be tailor-made to the individual's needs. I use Cambridge materials for my English classes, in addition to real-world texts and videos, to train students on grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. Student-centered classes are the most beneficial in my opinion, so I focus on having the student speak while also guiding them with the correct language depending on their problem areas.

As I am finishing my Bachelor in Comparative Philosophy at Leiden University, I am more than happy to help high school students and adults who show interest in engaging in critical thinking, whether it is for exams, tests or as personal challenge. Furthermore, I am proficient in English, French and German for students and adults interested in learning a new language or preparing for language tests.

English or Spanish classes based in speaking to improve fluency and vocabulary. You won't need anything else rather than a pen and a paper. We'll talk and I'll teach you how to correctly pronounce, the tenses, false friends and phrasal verbs and anything else you may need in your everyday.

I specialize in tutoring English in grammar, writing and conversation, especially for school students. I have several experiences before and am willing to adjust teaching materials to the need of students. As a native Chinese speaker, I am good at teaching students from daily conversation. Of course, if you want to be more professional please contact me as well! Besides, as I am from Taiwan, I am the best option if you want to learn traditional Chinese!

Hello everyone! I'm an Italian expat studying international relations at Leiden University. Back in Italy I used to give English classes to students in need, and I also worked for a while for an association where I taught Italian to African immigrants. Here in Leiden I would like to teach Italian to people who don't only want to improve their grammar skills, but also their conversation skills.

We can focus on a variety and a combination of competencies such as writing, reading, and speaking. Do you want to improve your vocabulary? Do you need to improve your business English? Do you need help with writing letters or reports? Do you want to brush up on your English before you take a nice vacation to the States? Or maybe you just want to sound more American. I will tailor lessons to your age, ability, needs, and wishes. I will use a variety of tools including television, music, textbooks, phone apps, flash cards, games and more!
