I’ve been taking English classes with Vanja, and since the first course, I’ve been feeling more confident on daily situations. The speaking-focused classes helps me a lot with these situations.
Having classes with people from different cultures has been interesting, and Vanja always brings us topics to make the classes dynamic. The feedback at the end of the class keeps me motivated, and the tips for practicing outside the class are excellent. Overall, I highly recommend this course.

I can’t say enough about my experience in Vanja English class. Her dynamic teaching style and genuine enthusiasm made every lesson unique. It was a transformative experience for me.

Despite being new to the language, Vanja’s patience, encouragement, and clear explanations made learning English feel both accessible and enjoyable. Her structured lessons, tailored to beginner-level students, helped me build a strong foundation in grammar, vocabulary, and conversational skills. After her support I gained confidence in my ability to communicate in English.

I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance on my journey to becoming proficient in English.

Classes with teacher Vanja exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a job and with her classes, in less than 1 month of classes I managed to fill in my biggest gaps and soon I was hired by a company. At Speak up each class was planned according to my needs with an interesting content, I never get bored with the classes there. I definitely recommend their work.

Camila Luisa Farias, Brazil

I think there is no more effective English teacher than Vanja! Vanja uses a variety of materials – from books to YouTube videos.
Thanks to this, lessons with Vanja are very interesting and motivate me to continue classes.
I remember, when I started lessons with SpeakUpEnglish, I knew the rules of English, but I did not know how to put them into practice.
Now I see my progress. All thanks to Vanja’s help.Vanja focuses on speaking and listening. Vanja also cares about your vocabulary and reading skills.I still use her help because lessons with Vanja are the best way to improve my English skills.

Myślę, że nie ma bardziej skutecznej nauczycielki języka angielskiego niż Vanja!
Vanja bazuje na różnych materiałach – zaczynając od książek po filmy YouTube. Dzięki temu zajęcia są interesujące i motywujące do dalszej nauki.
Pamiętam, kiedy rozpoczynamy zajęcia z Speak Up English, znałam różne zasady panujące w języku angielskim, ale nie potrafiłam ich stosować w praktyce.
Teraz widzę różnicę. Wszystko dzięki pomocy Vanji.
Vanja skupia się na mówieniu i słuchaniu. Dba też o słownictwo i umiejętności czytania.
Nadal korzystam z Jej pomocy, ponieważ zajęcia z Vanją to najlepszy sposób na poprawę moich umiejętności językowych.

Ola, Poland

I’m really happy to meet Vanja. She’s a wonderful teacher with high warm energy. I’ve been living in Haarlem for 10 months. I didn’t speak English before. Of course, I knew a lot of easy sentences, but it wasn’t enough for speaking and understanding. I came across an English course on the Internet and decided to try her course. My level was A2/B1. Now I have B1/B2. It had a friendly vibe because of our teacher. All pupils were wonderful. We were discussing, learning, speaking English for all our lessons. There were a lot of interesting and important topics. I know a lot of new words, phrases, verbs, etc. I don’t have problems if someone asks me something. Thank you Vanja for my new skills.

Anastasia, Russia

When I started my conversation classes at SpeakUp three years ago, I didn’t speak any English. Now, the teacher is the one who doesn’t speak because I speak and she listens. Not only have I learned English, but also the materials that she uses in her classes (such as press articles, documentaries, scientific research…) are really interesting

Cuando empecé mis clases de conversación con Vanja hace tres años no hablaba nada de ingles. Ahora la que no habla es ella porque solo hablo yo y ella escucha. No solo aprendo inglés, sino también sobre los temas que utiliza como apoyo en sus clases y sobre los que hablamos y debatimos, como pueden ser artículos de prensa, documentales, investigaciones científicas…

Angel, Spain

Il corso di inglese con Vanja e’ stato molto divertente, coinvolgente ed educativo.
La classe era formata da pochi studenti; eravamo solo in cinque. Questo ha creato un ambiente molto intimo e rilassante dove tutti avevamo molto spazio per esprimerci migliorando velocemente.
Vanja e’ sempre molto attenta e sorridente, pronta a scherzare con noi mentre prendeva nota dei nostri errori e aspetti su cui migliorare.
Durante le lezioni abbiamo fatto sempre esercizi o giochi molto interattivi e divertenti, limitando il lavoro sulla parte grammaticale a casa. Decisamente un’insegnante che consiglierei a tutti!
Grazie Vanja!

The English course with Vanja was very fun, entertaining and educational. The class consisted of only a few students; there were only five of us. This created a very intimate and relaxed environment where we all had a lot of space to express ourselves while improving quickly.
Vanja is always very attentive and smiling, ready to joke with us while taking note of our mistakes and aspects to improve on. During the lessons we always did very interactive and fun exercises or games, limiting the work on grammar at home.
Definitely a teacher I would recommend to everyone!
Thank you Vanja!

Salvatore, Italy

I’m from Madrid, Spain and I’m living in Haarlem. My partner and I have been taking English lessons with Vanja since we arrived in Haarlem. We have different English levels and both of us have improved our speaking skills quickly, which was our main goal but not the only one. We have been practising grammar, listening, writing and improving reading skills. Her classes are totally planned and personalized and she uses all kinds of methods from traditional books to Ted talk activities. The lessons are very dynamic and she always encourages you to feel more confident and talk English naturally.

Raquel, Spain

I would like to warmly recommend SpeakUpEnglish language school due to their high professionalism and openness. My teacher, Vanja, is extremely competent and professional. She is flexible when it comes to lesson scheduling, which has been incredibly convenient for me. Regardless of my busy schedule, Vanja always finds a convenient time for our lessons.

I also appreciate her engaging teaching style. Vanja always brings along new materials that help me expand my language skills. I’ve noticed that she is very dedicated to her work and always strives to tailor the teaching program to my needs and goals. I feel that she genuinely cares about my language development and is always eager to answer my questions.

I am also pleased that SpeakUpEnglish offers both online and in-person lessons. This truly gives me flexibility and the opportunity to continue learning, regardless of my location or changing circumstances. Furthermore, the prices for their services are affordable, considering the high quality I receive.

Although I personally took advantage of individual lessons for personal reasons, I have full confidence that the group lessons offered by SpeakUpEnglish are equally valuable. The school truly emphasizes the quality of teaching and creating a friendly atmosphere, both in individual and group lessons.

In conclusion, I am very satisfied with my experience of learning English with SpeakUpEnglish. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a professional teacher, flexible lesson scheduling, and high-quality lessons, whether they choose individual or group learning.

Aneta

I remember my first class at SpeakUp, I was not able to finish a sentence in English… I honestly signed up for those classes with low expectations. Now, thanks to Vanja, not only can I finish a sentence in English but I can spend hours talking about any subject I want. Because she makes you feel comfortable with yourself I feel at the end of the class that I have learned a little bit more. Always climbing, never going backwards.

Senia, Spain

Attending classes at SpekUp has been the best investment I have ever done since I live here in the NL. I have been taking lessons for more than a year and I really surprised myself about the fluency I got thanks to Vanja. I have attended many English courses in my life but I have never seen such a good improvement. Lessons are out of the ordinary and never boring. I suggested Vanja’s courses some friends of mine and I will keep on doing that. I really recommend trying her lessons: convenience and quality in a cozy place!

Cate, Italy

I have been Vanja’s Student for almost 2 years, and I just can say that I’m very happy with my progress. I think that Vanja is very adaptive with your level, she is able to help when you are very busy with your current job and you haven’t got enough time to go to a language school. In conclusion, her online lessons will help you to make fast progress.

Javier, Spain

I have been learning English with Vanja for about one year and I am very happy with that. I used to spend a lot of money going to an English language school in my city, but I find the classes with Vanja, more productive, funnier, cheaper and suitable for my schedule. I managed to improve my English much better than in a traditional language school.

Javier Carratala Perez, Spain

I have had classes with Vanja for a year and a half. After that period I am very thankful to her.

The most important thing for me is that I have learnt more in that short period of time than in all my life studying that language.

She helped me a lot to overcome the communication barrier that I had and thanks to her ,now, I speak more fluently. Moreover, I don’t feel ashamed when I have to communicate with foreigners.

Her classes are dynamic, she uses various exercises to practice grammar but also listening and speaking.

Another positive aspect of Vanja is that the classes are tailored for the needs of the student and she is really patient.

I strongly recommend her to everyone!

Bea

Thanks to Vanja, in a few months I broke my psychological barrier about the English language. Her teaching methods are incisive and student-friendly. You have to study a lot, of course, but the friendly contact and the enjoyable approach make the lessons dynamic and spontaneous. And then, it is very satisfying when I think about my results and how with a very good teacher like Vanja it is possible to learn very quickly and effectively.

Santa, Italy

The English teacher is a good professional, she helped me to talk more fluently and learn easily in a short time, so now I can speak English with other people and I can apply for a new job. Most of the classes were very dynamic and she gave me good books and exercises to practise English. I think it is a good opportunity for people who want to learn this language. Best wishes, Maria

Hey there!
I’m Carla Atzeni, I’m from Italy, and I’m currently living in The Netherlands.
I found Vanja on the internet, while I was looking for advanced English lessons in order to improve my conversational and listening skills. I needed those lessons for an important job interview so I also had a deadline to meet. I wrote her an email and although she was on holiday, she replied to me very fast and finally we scheduled my first lesson. She focused the lessons on a personal program she did especially for me. She knows how to approach each person, and make you feel at ease with a flexible timetable chosen by you. Furthermore, she has such low fees affordable to everyone who needs it. Finally, my job interview was successful.
I suggest her classes to everyone who want to start learning English or just improve i

Carla Atzeni, Italy

I’m from Barcelona, Spain and I’m living in Haarlem. I was looking for private English tutoring in the Netherlands just to improve my English level. I started with Vanja some time ago and I’m very glad with her teaching methods. I was looking to improve my speaking and pronunciation and so far I can say that I’m getting good results. I like the way she teaches English, she creates a nice atmosphere and it is easy to express yourself and she corrects me when it’s necessary. I like the exercises that she proposes in order to learn, they are educational as well as entertaining. I strongly recommend Vanja if you are looking to improve your English grammar, listening and speaking in a nice and funny way.

Miquel, Spain

I really enjoyed improving my English with Vanja. She is very generous and attentive. She is always ready to help you. Good learning experience, progress in a short time period. Thanks.

Helena Borges de Nascimento

The classes at SpeakUp are very productive, in each of them we learn something new in a dynamic and fun way. The most important thing for me and different compared with other courses that I see is that we practice speaking a lot, and that makes the session different and funny. I’m really happy because I feel that I have made progress at the end of each class.

Carolina, Spain

I have recently attended my first Business English course with Vanja.

She is very professional and took care of my needs.

Thanks to the personalised classes she helped me to fill my gaps.

I really enjoyed the lessons.

I definitely recommend SpeakupEnglish for good English classes at a good price.

Cecilia, Italy

Bardzo polecam kursy SpeakUp, zajęcia są świetnie zorganizowane, mnóstwo ciekawego materiału. Kurs przebiega w miłej atmosferze 🙂

Paulina, Poland

Eu realmente tinha muita dificuldade em aprender o inglês, sempre foi um bloqueio para mim. Após experimentar alguns outros cursos e tentar estudar sozinho, Vanja e suas excelentes aulas fizeram eu me desbloquear e falar muito durante as aulas. E isso agora se reflete no meu dia a dia, meu inglês está mais fluido e com maior vocabulários e tenho falado e me comunicado muito mais.
A forma em que Vanja conduz as aulas e as temáticas faz com que a gente se identifique e tenha vontade de falar, e ela deixa a gente super a vontade para fazer isso.
O resultado é tão grande que minha vontade era fazer mais vezes na semana.

I really had a lot of difficulty learning English, it was always a block for me. After trying some other courses and trying to study alone, Vanja and her excellent classes made me unblock myself and talk a lot during classes. And this is now reflected in my daily life, my English is more fluid and has greater vocabulary and I have spoken and communicated much more.

The way Vanja conducts classes and topics makes us identify and want to talk, and she makes us feel very comfortable doing so.
The result is so great that I wanted to do it more times a week.

Daniel, Brazil

I live in Holland, but I am Venezuelan and I am very happy to have started the English course at Speakup. When I started classes I had a hard time expressing myself in English and after the first classes my confidence improved considerably.

Vanja is a very friendly, happy, dynamic, direct, practical and organized teacher.
All classes were well planned, adapted to my needs and weaknesses in English, also super fun and interesting, with updated content and referring to everyday situations that can happen at home, work, in a meeting, in a store, airport, anyway, all the classes had daily life topics that contributed greatly to improving my confidence and having conversations in English.

I still have to improve a lot of vocabulary and pronunciation, but after a break due to work issues, I hope to continue with Vanja in a couple of months, to increase my level. My goal is to speak English more fluently with a minimum level of B2/C1.

Aquí mi testimonio en Español.

Vivo en Holanda, pero soy Venezolana y estoy muy feliz de haber comenzado el curso de inglés en Speakup. Cuando comencé clases con Vanja me costaba mucho expresarme en Inglés y después de las primeras clases mejoró considerablemente mi confianza.

Vanja es una profesora muy amistosa, alegre, dinámica, directa, práctica y organizada.
Todas las clases fueron bien planificadas, adaptadas a mis necesidades y debilidades en el inglés, además super divertidas e interesantes, con contenido actualizado y referidas a situaciones cotidianas y que pueden pasar en el hogar, el trabajo, en una reunión, en una tienda, aeropuerto, en fin, todas las clases tenían temas de la vida diaria que contribuyeron enormemente a mejorar mi confianza y tener conversaciones en inglés.

Todavía debo mejorar mucho vocabulario y pronunciación, pero luego de una pausa por temas de trabajo, espero continuar en un par de meses con Vanja, para aumentar de nivel. Mi meta es llegar a hablar inglés más fluido con un nivel mínimo B2/C1.

Lucy Rivas Herrera

I live in Malta and I decided to start English lessons about 4 months ago. Since I started I have noticed how I have improved little by little in my daily conversations. Classes at SpeakUp are entertaining, they are adapted to each student in particular. I have conversations about broad topics while I´m learning vocabulary and grammar. 100% rocommended.

Dalia Heci, Spain

The English course by Vanja was very educational and varied. I learned a lot from her course and through her motivation and the way she teaches.
I am super grateful for her and I will definitely do the next level with her

Hanane, Morocco

Eu estava buscando um curso de inglês presencial em Haarlem para melhorar, principalmente, o nível de comunicação e ter encontrado o Speakup English foi uma grata surpresa! As aulas são realizadas para grupos pequenos, o que facilita a interação entre os alunos. Além disso, Vanja possui uma metodologia bastante didática, sempre trazendo diferentes temas semanalmente em que mescla gramática, vocabulário e pronúncia. As atividades em sala são dinâmicas e divertidas, o que torna o aprendizado mais leve e de fácil compreensão. Em pouco menos de dois meses de aula, me sinto muito mais confiante para me expressar e acredito que um dos motivos é que Vanja faz da sala de aula um lugar em que o aluno se sente livre e confortável para falar. Com toda certeza eu recomendo o curso! Obrigada, Vanja!

I was looking for a English course (on-site) in Haarlem to improve, mainly, the speaking level and finding SpeakUp English was a pleasant surprise! The classes are for small groups, which increase the interaction between students. In addition, Vanja teaches with a very didactic methodoly and she brings different topics weekly which mixes grammar, vocabulary and pronuntiation. Classroom activities are dymanic and fun, which makes learning lighter and easier to understand. In just under two months of class, I feel much more confident to express myself and I believe that one of the reasons is that Vanja makes the classroom a place where the student feels free and comfortable to speak. I definitely recommend the course. Thank you, Vanja!

THANKS, VANJA!! 🙂

Marina Porto

I moved from Ukraine to the Netherlands with a low level of English. I had to integrate into a new society and look for a job. I chose SpeakUp English School in Haarlem because I read a lot of good feedback from students. It was also important for me to learn in person. In two months I started to speak English more confidently with the correct grammar. I also improved my listening skill, which was very problematic at the beginning. Also, I expanded my vocabulary in Business English, which helped me pass job interviews more easily. 

The classes at the school are dynamic and fun, and there is always a variety of material to learn. The teacher takes an individual approach to the curriculum, which allows me to quickly fill in the gaps in my knowledge. I highly recommend it!
Я переїхала з України до Нідерландів з низьким рівнем англійської мови. Мені потрібно було інтегруватися у нове суспільство та шукати роботу. Я обрала школу англійської мови SpeakUp у Харлемі, прочитавши багато хороших відгуків від студентів. Також для мене було важливо навчатися особисто, а не онлайн. За два місяці я почала говорити англійською більш впевнено, з правильною граматикою. Я також покращила свої навички аудіювання, що було дуже проблематичним для мене на початку. Крім того, я розширила свій словниковий запас з бізнес англійської, що допомогло мені легше проходити співбесіди.
Заняття в школі динамічні та веселі, завжди є різноманітний матеріал для вивчення. Викладач застосовує індивідуальний підхід у навчальній програмі, що дозволило мені швидко заповнити прогалини у знаннях. Дуже рекомендую!
Kateryna (Ukraine)

If you are looking for an English course that’s not only informative but is also inspiring. Amazing teacher who taught with passion and enthusiasm. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve their English skills.

I have been a Speak Up English student since January 2023. I really feel like I have improved my speaking skills a lot since then. In classes we practice grammar, listening, reading, writing, everything, but the lessons are very diverse. The teacher makes sure that it isn’t boring, the lessons are fun and educational. Teacher always invents a new entertainment for the class and she approaches the student individually, which is very professional and nice. Vanija is always prepared, at the end of the lesson we discuss our mistakes, so we can learn more. We talk a lot during classes, if someone has problems with the language barrier, they will definitely get rid of it after the classes.

So, Look no further! Just take a course.

Natalia, Poland

When I arrived in Holland it was very difficult for me because I knew very little English vocabulary, in my work and my daily life, I did not understand anything when someone spoke to me, in my work, in supermarkets, in restaurants and with my neighbors. It was really difficult for me. Then I met Vanja and started English classes with her. Now I am happy because I have learned to communicate with people. At work I feel safer when I have to talk to my bosses and co-workers. Thanks Vanja. You are the warmest, most loving and patient person I have ever met in this country. ,💝

Cuando llegué a Holanda fue muy difícil para mí porque sabía muy poco vocabulario en inglés, en mi trabajo y en mi vida diaria, no entendía nada cuando alguien me hablaba, en mi trabajo, en los supermercados, en los restaurantes y con mis vecinos. Fue realmente difícil para mí. Luego conocí a Vanja y comencé clases de inglés con ella. Ahora estoy feliz porque he aprendido a comunicarme con la gente. En el trabajo me siento más seguro cuando tengo que hablar con mis jefes y compañeros de trabajo. Gracias Vanja. Eres la persona más cálida, cariñosa y paciente que he conocido en este país. ,💝

Ana, Colombia

I have joined individual classes to improve my business English verbally and my fluency. I would say that I enjoyed a lot of these classes with Vanja and my improvement is amazing. I was feeling embarrassed about my English before our classes but after 2-3 classes I felt the difference. Now I speak more confidently, fluent and correctly.

Gulsum (Turkey)

Zapisując się na zajęcia grupowe przez myśl mi nie przeszło, że mogą być one prowadzone w tak swobodny i zarazem zdyscyplinowany sposób. Vanja stwarza świetną atmosferę dzięki której każde zajęcia mijają w mgnieniu oka, pełne śmiechu i nowej wiedzy. Zdecydowanie polecam kurs w speakup 🙂

Justyna, Poland

I started my English classes 2 months ago and undoubtedly my speaking abilities improved a lot. Classes are fully adapted to my necessities and every time I come motivated to speak without fear of making mistakes (I know if I make them something bad will happen, eheh). If you want to learn English in an easy-going environment and push your skills to the top, I recommend Speak Up for sure!
Filipa, Portugal

Vanja is a great and professional teacher. Her classes are dynamic and interactive, with a great emphasis on conversation. With her you can talk about everything from everyday topics to more specific topics depending on what you are willing to learn. Personally, I hated English classes, but with Vanja I have fun and I have learnt a lot. I 100% recommend having her as a teacher because my communication skills have improved a lot since I started.

Ayelen Somoza, Spain

I’m Ana, from Barcelona and I have been living in Haarlem for two years. I moved here to improve my English and I started classes with Vanja as soon as I got here. The lessons are dynamic and fun. She is motivating and tries to use interesting topics for communication activities. My English has improved a lot and I would definitely advise everyone to start having the classes with her.

Juan Pecantet, Spain

My name is Enza and I am Italian. I have had classes with Vanja since September when I met her in Haarlem. From the first meeting I was satisfied because Vanja is very friendly. You are free to make mistakes because it’s the right way to learn the language. With her the classes aren’t boring, You can talk about everything but at the same time she’s professional because it’s true that you can make mistakes and she’s the teacher so she has to correct you. Every lesson is different so it won’t ever bore you! The last thing that I would like to say is that Vanja offers the classes via skype, which is really good if you are not in the Netherlands. Online classes are effective and pleasant too! If you choose Vanja you’ll enjoy learning English!

Enza, Italy

Hello!! I am Rebeca, a Spanish girl who is living in Haarlem. I heard about Vanja from the other student who has been having classes with her for a couple of months. She is an amazing teacher. I had a lot of homework to do because she knew that I was too busy to attend classes regularly. She was helpful not only with my English but she also gave me some information on how to find another job when I needed it. She is flexible with the timetable and does her best . I am really grateful for all the help she gave me during these three months. I totally recommend her. Happy and smiling person, and a perfect teacher. If you want to learn, don’t hesitate to call her.

Rebeca, Spain

I am from Spain and I am here in the Netherlands to improve my english. I discovered Vanja’s lesson through a friend and she is the best. The classes with her are funny and enjoyable. You have an impression that you are talking with a friend so you can have a fluent conversation all the time. I am working with her to get the advanced certificate and I can see that I am making progress. Her classes are serious but at the same time you can have a nice time!

Susana Ruiz Gondra, Spain

She has a very good rapport with the students. She is committed to her work. Helpful, friendly and imaginative. She knows how to conduct the classes without making them boring. She was cooperating with students after private lessons which also gave us additional motivation to study

Marcin Sokolowski

I’m from Spain, but I’m currently living in Haarlem as AuPair. I found Vanja almost three months ago on the recommendation of another Au pair who was delighted with her English lessons. My goal is to get the CAE certificate. Thanks to its interactive and well structured lessons, I feel I am making real progress. In addition to her experience, she is an enthusiastic and kind girl, this makes lessons with her more educational and fun. Therefore, I highly recommend her!

Ana Recamán Moledo, Spain

I’m from Barcelona and I live in Haarlem (The Netherlands). I started the lessons with Vanja three months ago to improve my English. Especially to improve my speaking. I’ve felt that my English has improved because now I speak more fluently. For this reason I want to continue English lessons with Vanja. I like her lessons because she corrects me when I’m wrong and the lessons are very entertaining. This way helps me to talk more and to improve. I recommend Vanja as a teacher for all people who need to improve English, speaking, grammar, pronunciation and others.

Patricia, Spain

My experience with Speak Up No1 has been gratifying. I started my business English classes in September 2022, after a long time without touching English; thanks to Vanja I could refresh my knowledge quickly and dynamically. The results have been satisfactory since it allows me to work with different countries offering my services in the IT area. For this reason, I want to recommend Speak Up No1, and as a Vanja’s student, thank you for your patience, professional attention, and trust. Without a doubt, I will continue to count on her to continue improving my English.

Omar, Spain

I am Lenka and I am from Slovakia. After changing my job I felt that I needed to improve my English and become more confident, especially in conversation. Already after a few lessons with Vanja I can see the progress. I look forward to every Saturday because we have a friendly atmosphere there and a lot of fun. We have an international team which makes it all more interesting. Every lesson we have a different topic.Vanja is very friendly, willing and always helpful in overcoming our obstacles in English.

I highly recommend SpeakUp!
