My name is Brenda and I am born in the Netherlands. At the moment I live in Nijmegen, the oldest city of the Netherlands. A lot of foreign students live here because it is a university city.

I have been interested in languages from an early age. That is why I have learned English, German, French and Spanish. But in my area I am mainly known for my excellent Dutch language skills and my eye for spelling and grammar.

Other things that interest me are cooking and baking and being creative. As a volunteer I have given guided tours and I have done workshops in both English and Dutch. I also love walking in nature or enjoying the beach and the sea!

I am currently learning Turkish, so I fully understand what you are experiencing as a language student. That’s why I am very patient. We practice as much as what you need. Is there something you don’t understand? Feel free to ask again, then we can approach the material in a different way so that it is clear for you.

I also know from experience how great it feels when you can communicate with someone in the local language! So let's go for this challenge together!

Your needs and progress as a student are central.

Please indicate before the first lesson what you would like to work on so that I can prepare myself for the lesson. A number of options are:
- Preparation for the integration course (inburgeringscursus)
Speaking, listening, reading and writing. Cultural and work-related topics.
- Beginners - Advanced (Personalized Lessons) Dutch
We can focus on every aspect of the language. When you want to learn from a book we can use your material or I will advise you which book you can purchase.
As a beginner you start with the basics, the alphabet and some basic words. We extend this so that you can start simple conversations in situations of everyday life and that you become an advanced!

Brenda is a very friendly and easy-going teacher. She is very well-organised and flexible. During each lesson time just flies cause it's really enjoyable. I am an absolute beginner and I was afraid to start learning a new language from scratch but now I'm confident that I will make it. She can help you learn the language really fast with no stress or tension. Looking forward to my next lesson!

Hi everybody, my name is Tra My, I have been living in Barcelona for 5 years. I speak Spanish, English, Vietnamese, a little Portuguese and Chinese. I have 4-year experience of teaching Vietnamese language to foreigners. However, I think language is not enough. If you would like to travel, study, work, live in Vietnam, or just look for a Vietnamese partner, you need to know more about Vietnamese culture. Additionally, I was working as a lawyer in Vietnam, so I can advise you on how to start a business in Vietnam and obtain residency permits. We will talk together about it in my classes. I will accompany you from knowing nothing about Vietnam until you can negotiate the price with the Vietnamese people :) I look forward to seeing you in my classes!

Hello everyone!

My name is Elena! I have been teaching French to children and to adults for 13 years.

I fell in love with French language, literature, history and culture years ago. And today I help people to learn this beautiful language.

In 2008 I started working in an AUF member university and I’ve spend six years teaching general and professional French language skills to students and preparing them for DELF/DALF/TCF examinations.

Later I collaborated with several language schools working with children and adults and as a privat tutor.

Now I teache in Alliance Française and I continue to give privat lessons. I also work as a French - Russian interpreter.

In 2017 I started teaching online and I know how to make learning fun, creative end efficient to people of all ages and needs. In my opinion, any study should be a pleasure, so I do my best to make my students enjoy the lessons and progress in speaking, reading, writing, listening and grammar at the same time.

Contact me to book a trial lesson and for any question you may have!

My name is Maja and I am a CELTA certified teacher holding a Bachelor's degree in English language and literature. My teaching experience spans over 15 years and it encompasses work with both children and adults. Time flies fast when you are having fun, some might say. And teaching for me is exactly that – fun.
During my career, I have worked with all levels and ages, both in primary and private language schools and now in an online setting.
Working with the little ones must be the most challenging but also the most rewarding aspect of this job. In my virtual classroom, I strive to constantly engage and activate my students by using props, visuals and gestures. In addition, creating a child-friendly environment and catering for students’ needs are essential for learning to take place.
In my spare time, every now and then I get away from the city and spend a bit of time in the great outdoors, hiking or camping. Tai Chi is something that I have recently discovered. And I absolutely love it!
You will find that I am a hard-working, reliable and an adaptable person and I am sure we will get along well.
So, let’s learn and grow together. Come and join me in my virtual classroom where the magic happens.

Hello everyone! I hold a bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in Germanic Studies obtained at the University of Yaoundé 1 .I also hold a DIPES II (Secondary Teacher Diploma) ) in German obtained at the Higher Teacher Training College of Yaounde. I also hold two French Teaching Certificates. Moreover, I was trained as professional translator in ASTI (Advanced School of Translators and Interpreters) at the University of Buea and my language combinations are English to French and German to French. Since 2009, I teach German as foreign language and French to high school students. I also give private lessons in French to foreigners especially English or German speakers. You speak English or German and want to learn and speak French confidently, so you have someone available to help you achieve your goals.
There are several teaching methods that I combine with three approaches. While teaching, I help the learner to use the language to perform tasks; this is the action-oriented- approach. Furthermore, I encourage the learner to express himself /herself a lot, especially orally, because the aim is to learn the language and to use it in a specific communicative situation. This is the communicative approach. Finally, I like the cultural approach. I help the learner to discover cultural elements, since language and cultures are linked.
I create learning materials according to the needs of the students. So I use podcasts, pdf files, authentic documents, images...that I get online from various sites.

Hi,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the decision to learn or improve a new language. Whether it is Estonian, English or Russian, beginner, advanced or Business language - you are in the right place.

My name is Martin and I am coming from a tiny country in the Northern Europe called Estonia. One of my biggest hobbies is teaching and educating others, that is why for the past 3 years I have been living and working in Istanbul while teaching English to different age groups: kindergarten, school, university as well as adults. I have had students from Beginners to Advanced as well as several businessmen and CEOs of international companies located in Istanbul. What is more, for the last 2 years I have been teaching Estonian, English and Russian online through Skype that gave me chance to meet people from all over the world and help them on their journey of learning foreign languages in a comfortable and enjoyable environment.

We are going to have a 20-30-minute trial lesson during which we can get to know each other, set expectations towards the lessons and schedule the timetable. The next step is simple - we start learning the language of your choice! As simple as it is :)

During the lessons we will focus on making you speak even with the limited vocabulary because speaking is the key to learning a new language quickly and in a fun way!

Cannot wait to receive your in-mail and help you on your journey to learn and speak a foreign language.

Martin

Martin L was a really fun teacher to work with. I learned quite a lot, even within just an hour. They're very honest and straightforward, and communicate clearly, plus they made the material fun to learn (I was told to have understanding that making mistakes is just part of the deal, and to have fun with it!). In short, It was a blast, and I look forward to more lessons!

Let me help you improve your English for any purpose. I am a native English speaker with a Master's degree in English, a Bachelor of Science degree and a CELTA teaching qualification.

I have been teaching for four years. As a copy-editor, I have been helping people improve their written English for over ten years (so yes, I can edit documents for you). Interviews: send me your CV and the job description and I will help you prepare.

Ready for certification? I will help you get ready for English language proficiency exams (TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS, OET, C1 (CAE), C2 (CPE).)

We CAN meet free of charge (just book a FREE CHAT for 20 minutes) to discuss your learning needs/my teaching methods and to start talking.

It is useful if you take a quick online test to establish a starting point: https://www.cambridgeenglish.org/test-your-english/general-english/ Please let me know the results A1/2 B1/2 C1/2.

If you need to reschedule, please do so 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged.

NB If you are writing a test like IELTS or TOEFL 'in a month or two' and you need to obtain a minimum score to enter a university, remember that according to education bodies like British Council and Cambridge English, it takes an average of 120-130 lesson hours to move from one level or band to the next. So with 'one or two' months, you need to already be at B2 or Upper Intermediate level to start preparing.

For B2-C2 level students who enjoy photography: Would you would like to improve your English conversation and your photography? In a typical lesson, you will show me your latest photos and describe how and why you took them. Then we will discuss how photos are assessed in photographic competitions and, if necessary, we can go over the essentials of using a digital camera (although it's perfectly fine if you use your mobile phone to take photos).

Hi, my name is Alejandro!

I am a native Spanish speaker from Caracas, Venezuela. I have been teaching Spanish for more than five years, and I am an honest, considerate and friendly person. Also, I have experience teaching people of all ages and levels. Furthermore, I am here to tailor to your needs and help you to improve your language proficiency, our sessions can focus on any of the language skills, especially conversation which is my primary focus to help students.

If you want to become more fluent in speaking, increase your vocabulary and pronunciation, start a lesson with me!

I speak English (Level C1) therefore, this language could be of help during the lesson if we need it. Since I am a Philosophy student, I am especially qualified to help you develop your academic writing skills and, if you are also interested, I could teach you Philosophy while we speak Spanish.

If you have any questions or concerns please message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Hello!

I am Jérôme.

There has never been a better time to learn a foreign language. We all have a good reason to learn at least one: our job, our friend circle, our envy to travel.

I have been training professionals and students to speak fluently and confidently for 10 years. Their level has significantly improved. They have got very good results and evolved professionally and personally!

Is it really necessary to remind you why English is so important? The world’s number 1 language, a must for those who want to be internationally successful. It enables you to communicate with 1 billion people in the world! In other words, whether you want to travel, work or live abroad, speaking English is necessary.

French is a major language, if you want to have a career in tourism, luxury, be a chef or work for international organizations. So many doors open when you speak French! It is the 6th most spoken language in the world, with 300 million people on the 5 continents.

Foreign languages are my great passion in life. That is why I am determined to see you make progress. This is YOUR LANGUAGE COURSE! I will adapt the classes to your needs and your interests and will propose you customized activities. Together, we will improve your written and oral expression. I will train you to speak like a native and take you to the next level.

If you want to speak English or French fluently too, do not hesitate to contact me! I am convinced that you will also have something to teach me!
