Language teachers and lessons in Zaanstad

Hi there
My name is Lieneke Jansen and I am 56 years old.
I am from a small country in Europe called the Netherlands
I am a TEFL certified English language coach with experience in teaching both children and adults.
Although I am a non-native speaker, I have learned English since high school, and practicing it on a daily basis from then on.
I have over 30 years of working experience in several international companies on a high professional work and think level.
I am specialised in business conversation and practicing speaking skills on every possible level
Looking forward to meet you as my student.

Hi, Mi name is Paul. I'm a certified (TEFL, ELE) teacher with over 10 years of experience in language teaching. I am actually teaching business clients and individuals.
I always try to keep the classes informal and relaxed. It's important that the students like the class, and that they feel comfortable. That results in progress, and that's exactly what we want.
The focus is on conversation (so pronunciation!) and understanding but also reading and writing are important to improve active vocabulary.
Now grammar is also important to understand the structure of a language, but I only touch grammar when needed, so that depends a lot on the level (from A1 to C2).
For lower-level students who still need some native language in class, I speak fluently Spanish, Dutch and some German and French.
The first class is free of charge, so just try it! I'm sure you'll like it.

Dear Student,

I am Daniela, a qualified teacher of Bulgarian as a foreign language.

I will be delighted to help you learn Bulgarian. I am originally from Sofia, Bulgaria. I am passionate about languages; I am fluent in English and Spanish, Czech and Slovenian. I have helped many foreigners now living in Bulgaria to better understand and speak with confidence in their social environment. I am always interested in their motivation to learn Bulgarian and I adapt myself completely to the needs and tastes of each student. My teaching style is very communicative, I teach through dialogues, and real situations so my students start speaking from the very first lesson. I make my classes fun and enjoyable for all students, as I believe it is very important that the student enjoys learning, that they look forward to the next class. We often talk about culture, traditions, history and all kinds of topics that interest the student and in this way, progress is much more natural and faster.

Many thanks.

Best regards, Daniela

I am a great fan of new cultures and languages. 

Feel free to contact me for a class :) 

Hello, my name is Corinne and I am a qualified ESL English teacher from England. I have been teaching in classrooms and online for over 3 years and I have many satisfied students.

My lessons are student-centred and usually take place on Skype. I treat every student as an individual and tailor my lessons to meet their goals. I use a variety of text books and free online resources including exercises, articles and videos. I usually give out a little homework at the end of each lesson to reinforce what we have done together.

In your first lesson, we will discuss your needs and check your current level. From this, we can decide what sort of lessons will suit you the best. Perhaps you struggle with grammar and sentence structure? Perhaps you need to practice English for a specific purpose, like understanding lectures, making phone calls at work, or travelling? Or perhaps you need a structured course so that you can learn English step by step?

Whatever you need, I’m here to help. I see it as my job to make you feel safe, build your confidence and make your lessons enjoyable. I look forward to hearing from you and to helping you on your path to speaking better English. Book your first lesson now and let’s get started.

I specialise in EFE (Teaching Spanish for Specific Purposes) and I am a certified teacher by the Instituto Cervantes as well as other Spanish universities.

I offer smart and fun lessons for all levels and ages! I am a native Turkish speaker from Cyprus and an English teacher by profession. Alongside full-time teaching, I work as a freelance translator/interpreter (Turkish-English) on a part-time basis. I have extensive teaching experience especially with university students, secondary school students and adults. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, I can help you (or your child) improve your language skills with customized lessons and authentic teaching material.

As a language teacher and a language learner myself, I am aware that everyone learns at their own pace and everyone learns in different ways. Therefore, addressing the needs of each student individually is crucial to my teaching approach. It is true that language learning takes time and commitment but online teaching has transformed the learning experience in such a way that, with the help of developing technology and the internet, you can accelerate your learning much faster than you can with traditional teaching methods. Some of the key elements in accelerated learning that I adapt in my teaching methodology are as follows:

Flipped Classroom:
In contrast to conventional teaching methods, students are provided with class material prior to the lesson. This allows them to practice what they have learnt during classroom discussions and activities.

Task-based Approach:
Traditional teaching approaches focused on the content that teachers thought their students needed to learn. This included a lot of emphasis on grammar. Task-based approach, on the other hand, focuses on the skills that the students want to acquire. The teacher no longer focuses on ‘what’ is taught but ‘why’ it is taught.

Lexical Syllabus:
In line with the task-based approach, lexical syllabus focuses on the vocabulary that the student needs to learn in order to perform a specific task. For example, the word ‘asset’ is essential for a business student, similarly, ‘biopsy’ is an essential word for a medical student.

My approach allows me to connect with students' previous learning experiences and knowledge and increase their reflection between what they learn and their life experiences. Overall, it is a student-centered, interactive, collaborative and communicative approach.

Hi there,

I am glad to meet you.

First of all, let me congratulate you on the decision to learn or improve a new language. In your case this is Bulgarian.

My country, Bulgaria, is a beautiful country with nice and hospitable people. It is an ancient land with a great history and rich culture. Having learned our language you will be able to get in touch freely with our good people and country.

I come from the town of Vidin, Bulgaria. I am a qualified English and Bulgarian teacher. I graduated back in 1972 from Sofia University with an MA in English Philology and Bulgarian Philology as a second subject. Since then I have spent most of my professional career teaching Bulgarian students.

First of all, we will 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!

Cannot wait to meet you and help you on your journey to learn Bulgarian.

Hi! Russian language is very beautiful and I will be happy to help my students improve their knowledge of this language. I conduct lessons in English/Italian or Russian depending on a student’s language level. During my lessons, I will use some additional materialы including text, flashcards, audio and video files. I am interested in progress of my students. Russian tutor all levels even business Russian!
I have 5 years of experience as a tutor. My students are of different ages, both children and adults, who are learning Russian for their professional activities. The smallest student is 6 years old. I have individual material for each student. I can teach lessons in Russian, English and Italian. I conduct lessons as comfortably as possible for students. Someone likes to study the language in an official format, like at a university, and someone with a cup of coffee. The main thing is always the excellent result that my students get!

Hi,
I am Mahsan and I learned English from the age of 4 to 18. Numerous trips and a bilingual family had a great impact on my learning. I have been an English teacher and supervisor for 6 years for all ages, levels, and purposes. I also have experience in teaching international tests such as IELTS and TOEFL with excellent language learning records. I have a bachelor's degree in "English language teaching", Academic IELTS with a score of 7.0, teacher training, and numerous international conferences in my resume. I am currently studying master's in "Language Sciences" at the Ca'Foscari University of Venice.
I am one of those professors who are constantly updating themselves in different ways. I am also more energetic than you can imagine.
Did you start learning English several times before and you quit over and over again? That's because you weren't focused, motivated, and encouraged enough to continue what you were doing. You didn't have a precise, personalized plan for the pathway of your learning, and that's why you weren't eager enough to continue. Here we are going to have a very specialized plan together; therefore, you know exactly where you are and what you want to do in the next stage. Nothing is fun for me, more than seeing your progress vividly while learning.
On the way that we are going to be together, something beautiful and good will happen; therefore, you will learn English very well in an energetic and cool atmosphere.

See you soon
