I have learned a lot during my English lessons with Tara. Tara is very friendly, patient and has a very personal approach. When we found a specific grammar mistake in my emails she always had an grammar lesson related to this mistake. Furthermore, her lessons were very practical, she didn’t spend much time on theoretical issues. I can definitely recommend Tara!

I would like to recommend Tara’s help.
Last year, Tara helped me improve my English speaking and writing skills.
Both were at an insufficient level for me, which was hindering my cooperation with
my colleagues and manager from abroad.
She had a very helpful approach for me, taking small achievable steps every two
weeks, while explaining the reasoning behind the grammar.
She reflected on my progress and gave me constructive feedback on my homework.
Tara also provided extensive supportive study materials.
Now I feel more confident in expressing myself and speaking English more
effectively.

Tara and I first agreed on a learning objective. And she always keeps this learning goal in mind during the English lessons. She leads me through the lessons very well-versed, reacts quickly to my answers and sometimes turns the corner to explain the topic to me better. It is very practice-oriented and always finds examples so that I can understand better. For support, she also uses many IT programs very professionally (Word, pictograms, Whatsapp, Zoom, and whatever else there is).

1. She only speaks English to me and I am therefore forced to explain everything in English. I can’t just switch to my mother tongue; I have to find paraphrases. 2. The technology with zoom is wonderful: We can look at a document together, work together and see each other while doing it. 3. And I think it’s very good that there is no fixed curriculum, but that Tara reacts flexibly to my questions.

I started to deal with grammar topics outside of the English lesson: I watch explanatory videos on youtube, took out my old textbooks “English” and try to prepare myself for every English lesson -> not just the one hour English in the Week, but to incorporate a little English every day …

I believe that anyone who wants to learn or deepen their English is in good hands with Tara, regardless of whether they are a beginner or a professional who wants to go a little deeper.

After sharing our uncertainty about the English language with Tara, I started Tara’s
training courses together with a colleague. We really enjoyed every lesson. The main
reason for our training was that we especially wanted to become more confident
when it comes to talking, on a business and social level. And it worked! With
practical examples such as news reports, TED Talks, presentations about ourselves
or our hobbies and personal stories, we became more and more accustomed to
speaking the English language.
With the homework we were given we were also working on the English language in
between the training sessions. And now that the training has been completed, my
colleague and I have both grown a lot in speaking confidently in the English
language.
We feel that we can also be ourselves in a language other than our mother tongue.
From now on we show and convey our personality to others through the English
language.

I would like to thank you for the sessions we had, I’m having a great experience in
this new job, and I feel confident to express my ideas and share them with my
colleagues. Regarding the recommendation you ask me for, below you’ll find it:
Moving to a new country, meant to me the biggest challenge I’ve ever had, leaving
my family, friends, work, career, etc., was something I was not prepared, and the
pression to settle down our family made me feel insecure about my communication
skills in English, so I started to call every single English school to improve my
English level, but what I found I the market was just the common classes about
grammar, reading and writing. When I called “Your English” and had the opportunity
to talk to Tara to explain to her my needs I understood that the solution was not the
conventional way. 
I was hired for a company in the Netherlands as a professional, so my challenge at
that moment was showing all my skills and my knowledge but was scared of my
“English level”, I was afraid about my pronunciation and vocabulary at the office. So,
I decided to take classes with Tara, and with her expertise I found the way to face
that fear and insecurity. After 10 sessions I can’t say that I’m an expert, but now my
mind is open to learning and I’m feeling confident to express myself with no shame if
my pronunciation is not perfect.

I wanted to become more confident in writing in English; know where I potentially
made mistakes, in particular, to prevent typical Dutch mistakes. Well… that resulted
in some aha moments! I also wanted to finetune my degree of written formality
towards different target groups. Tara has helped me tremendously by offering a
tailored program of theory and exercises, often based on my own writings. All
accompanied with humor and nice conversations. Highly recommended!
Pieter

Communication Manager

During our first session Tara listened very carefully to my goals and in our next
sessions she responded to my particular wishes. I have gained very much from the
course. As a result of our English conversations and the tips and tricks I feel more
self confident. I absolutely recommend Tara.
