Hello! I am from Madrid but I am living in Utrecht. I am a "cat", this means that I, my parents and my grandparents were born in Madrid. I love languages. I have studied English for many years, so I know what it feels like to learn and I have discovered the best tricks for both learning and teaching a language! I want to make you speak like a native! :) Two years of experience and I love it! Before I studied funny things like theater and acting and then I worked as a web developer, so our topics of conversation can be very varied!

My language lessons are always tailored to the student. I provide interaction, the pupil will be encouraged from the start to experiment with the Dutch language, always within the pupil's own perception of the world, so that what is learned is placed in a personal context and automatically supplemented with elements that are specific to the pupil. I have a number of fine methodologies at my disposal, but I also work with ease with material that the pupil has brought from school or from home, or else will select material to measure. I have been teaching Dutch as a second language for 20 years and have a master's degree in education with a specialization in learning disabilities.

No nation is free from the need for language; it is the essential tool that connects people across the globe, uniting individuals who speak different tongues. As social beings, human beings have an innate desire to connect with one another—whether by meeting new people or exploring new ideas. This curiosity is part of our fundamental nature. Language serves as the bridge for these connections, and among all languages, English stands out as one of the most important. It is often regarded as the global lingua franca, spoken and understood in nearly every corner of the world. In today’s interconnected society, English has become the de facto second official language for many countries, and is often referred to as the universal language—one that enables people from diverse cultures to communicate, collaborate, and share knowledge across borders.

Do you have to speak to a group for school or university? Present for business? Does the thought leave you dreading the moment, or simply a little unsure of how best to communicate your message? - Speak clearly, strongly and healthily! - Be more at ease in front of an audience! - Get your point across without it feeling laboured! Whatever level of confidence and competence you have in public speaking, there's always room for improvement. Whether you want to focus on how your body language says just as much as your words, work humour and ease into an otherwise stiff delivery, or just get to the end and have your audience take away your key message, I can help you. I work in English, but also speak fluent Dutch, so we can switch back and forth if necessary. I can either plan a series of sessions, or you can come to me with specific goals to work on. I can give you homework, or for those with little time, we can simply work in the sessions themselves.

Please note: This course is ONLY for native English speakers (or those with a high level of English). In this 10-lesson course you will learn concepts and strategies for learning Dutch (and any European language). We will investigate and practice the many ways you can leverage native English speaking for rapidly learning Dutch. This course will leave you inspired and interested in foreign languages. The priority is on increasing your confidence in speaking a second language in daily life and to provide tools for independently learning Dutch. LOOM is inspired by both the classic work on language learning The Loom of Language (1923), and the joy of watching children learn languages first hand. This course is especially useful for: - Those frustrated by conventional approaches to learning language - Those with a bad memory for words - Those who enjoy playing with language and meaning - Those who prefer thinking and understanding over rote learning Please note: You do not need to commit to all 5 lessons in advance. First book a single lesson and see if this approach works for you. About me: I am a scientist by training and studied at Oxford and received my PhD from Cambridge. I currently work as a research scientist at Utrecht University and teach Dutch in my spare time. I have a passion for learning Dutch and finding hidden connections across languages, which I share with others. I am a native English speaker and very competent Dutch speaker (C1 level) - so I have personal experience of learning Dutch as an adult (and the challenges faced).

So far, I have been carrying out 3 different types of lessons: (a) just conversation: Here, the student prepares 5-6 different topics for the lesson, and prepares a document with the topics and short paragraph about each topic. This way, the student can start looking at the vocabulary for the topic before the lesson. Usually, the student sends this document by email 24 hours before the planned lesson. When we start the lesson, the first few minutes are just a few questions, small talk about the last few days and what is going on at the moment. Then, we move to the topics. Each topic takes approximately 10 minutes (more or less, depending on the content). For each topic, the student first introduces the topic and what they know about it so far, then we discuss the issue, I ask some content questions or questions about your views on this subject, etc. These discussions are very helpful for conversation, sentence fluency, and vocabulary development. When the student makes a mistake in grammar, sentence, or word choice, I correct them and help them understand their mistakes. Usually, each student has a little notebook where they note down their mistakes or new words and phrases that they have learnt. During the following lesson, I may ask a few questions about the topics from the previous lesson, in order to refresh the student's memory regarding their previous mistakes and new vocabulary. (b) conversation and description: This is the same as the conversation type (a) above, but there are only 3 topics and it lasts approximately 35-40 minutes. The second half of the lesson is prepared by me. I send a document with 3-5 pictures. The student describes what they see, using position vocabulary, descriptive words, and tried to interpret what is going on in the picture. This is also very good for language development and verbal fluency. After the student finished describing as well as they can, I will describe in a little bit more depth, to make sure that all new words and phrases are mentioned. During following lesson, the first 10 minutes of the second part of the lesson (for picture description) are for a short reviewing of last lesson's pictures, refreshing memory and making sure all words are understood and well-used. (c) conversation and writing: This is the same as the conversation type (a) above, but the last 15 minutes are focused on writing skills. Usually, we look at different writing styles such as formal versus casual, a typical formal email, a typical friendly email, how to ask for help, etc. Of course, lesson types can changes as often as you want! Some of my students had the first lessons in style (c), and then we switched to one in style (a) and one in style (b). I am also very flexible in terms of what you want to do and what you prefer as a student! I hope this information helps you for you decision and if you have more questions, please do not hesitate!

Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
