Over
I’m a dedicated educator with experience working in elementary and middle schools in the U.S., supporting students of all abilities, including those with special needs. I am TEFL-certified through TEFL.org and have extensive experience tutoring English, essay writing, and test prep (including ACT and GED).

Since moving to the Netherlands a year ago, I’ve been embracing Dutch culture, history, and language while continuing to help students reach their full potential. As a native English speaker currently learning Dutch, I understand the challenges of learning a new language firsthand and bring patience, empathy, and adaptability to every lesson.

I teach students of all ages and levels, including adults learning business English or preparing to travel to English-speaking countries. My lessons are personalized and engaging, incorporating students’ hobbies and interests, and always meeting them where they are. I understand that everyone learns differently, so I create a supportive environment where each student can grow, gain confidence, and succeed.
Opleiding
Master’s in Social Work – expected completion 2028

Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology – Southern New Hampshire University, 2022

Leservaring
I have hands-on experience as a paraprofessional in elementary and middle schools for 10 years, working closely with children, including those with special needs.

My approach is supportive, engaging, and personalized — making learning effective, fun, and meaningful.

I specialise in English (British & American) tuition for native and non-native speakers of all ages, and have experience working with:
• young children learning English for the first time
• primary- and secondary-school students studying the English language and its literatures
• adult professionals and seniors wishing to improve their language skills, or develop pronunciation or presentational skills

I have two degrees in English language and literature (B.A. and Mst) from the University of Oxford, and I am also a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) Diploma program. I've developed a creative approach in my sessions with students that involves applying a student's particular talents and interests (regardless of subject) in the process of language acquisition, along with the simultaneous development of critical skills like close and careful reading, argumentation, written style, and effective communication.

I am versed in the requirements and intricacies of a range of national and international diploma programs. When working with students supplementing an academic syllabus, my goal is always to position them to succeed in the assignments and assessments laid out by a primary instructor.

English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills.

Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid.

In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals.

Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Ik werk graag doelgericht. De eerste stap is helder krijgen wat het doel is van de rekenbegeleiding en aan welk(e) rekendomein(en) gewerkt dient/ dienen te worden. Dit doe ik graag in gesprek met u, uw kind en eventueel (mocht u dit willen) de school.
Ook is het mogelijk (tegen een kleine bijbetaling) om een individueel diagnostisch rekenonderzoek (RD4) door mij af te laten nemen. Hieruit volgt een overzichtelijk profiel wat de rekenkundige ontwikkeling van de leerling en tegelijkertijd de mate van achterstand ten opzichte van leeftijdgenoten en het groepsniveau toont. Uit dit profiel is heel duidelijk af te lezen welke onderwerpen en domeinen op rekengebied achterblijven en waar dus extra aan gewerkt dient te worden.
Vanuit de gesprekken met u, uw kind en eventueel de school en/ of het RD4 rekenonderzoek zal een doel voor de rekenbegeleiding volgen.
Vervolgens stel ik een plan op voor 8 weken. Hierin zet ik de verschillende stappen van begeleiding die nodig zijn om tot dit doel te komen.
De komende 8 weken zal ik de leerling instructies en begeleiding geven. Ik kan hiervoor zelf materiaal meenemen, maar dit kan ook vanuit de school geleverd worden. Hierbij kijk ik graag wat het beste bij uw kind past.
Na de 8 weken van begeleiding is er een evaluatiemoment. Hierin zal duidelijk worden of het rekendoel behaald is of niet. Als het doel nog niet behaald is, kijken we samen of het doel wat bijgesteld moet worden of dat de inhoud van de begeleiding aangepast moet worden. Als er gekozen is om het RD4 rekenonderzoek af te nemen, zullen de rekendomeinen die betrekking hebben op het doel van de begeleiding nogmaals onderzocht worden. Hierbij krijgt u een veel specifieker resultaat en groei te zien dan wanneer er niet gekozen is om het RD4 onderzoek af te nemen.
Na de evaluatie zal besproken worden of de begeleiding afgerond kan worden, de begeleiding nog verlengd zal worden of dat er andere stappen nodig zullen zijn.

Looking for extra help with English at school? You've come to the right place. I'm happy to help you with all your questions and guide you in practicing the subjects you find difficult. Are you doing really well with speaking, but do you feel like writing is a bit less successful? Then we'll work together on fun assignments to improve your writing skills. So whether you find everything about the subject a bit difficult, or certain subjects such as writing, listening or speaking skills: I'm happy to help you find the way that suits you best to make progress in this. I adapt my lessons to the level and learning style of each student, so that you can achieve your goal as well as possible.

If you have specific questions about your schoolwork or if you have trouble with English at school, it is best to use the material you receive at school in the tutoring as a guideline. I can then supplement this with more assignments and material that suits your level.

I myself went to a bilingual high school and studied English at International Baccalaureate (IB) level. So if you need help practicing for a Cambridge or IB exam, that is also possible!

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested or have any questions.

*** THE COURSE: This course is designed for adults (18+) who want to learn Dutch in a structured and motivating way. We’ll use the textbook "Nederlands in Gang", a complete method that takes you up to level A2 (and beyond, see below!).

People often say that those from Haarlem speak the clearest Dutch — so you’ll be in expert hands!

I offer various types of lessons, fully tailored to your level and learning style. Whether you want to improve your speaking, prepare for an exam, or simply gain more confidence, we'll create a plan together that suits you. Every lesson focuses on practical language use and, above all, speaking a lot.

Study guidance/Tutoring

English doesn't have to be a stumbling block. With a little extra help, you can make much faster progress. In my coaching, I work with students from university (Master's and Bachelor's), universities of applied sciences, intermediate vocational education (MBO), pre-university education (VWO), senior general secondary education (HAVO), and pre-vocational secondary education (VMBO) who face challenges with grammar, reading, listening, writing, and speaking. We address exactly where you struggle—so you truly understand the material and get better grades.

Exam preparation

Prepare for your final English exam (VMBO, HAVO, or VWO) with confidence. Together, we'll practice past exams, discuss common mistakes, and I'll teach you smart strategies to better understand texts and formulate sharper answers. This way, you'll know exactly what to expect and you'll feel confident about your exam.

To speak

Many people know the rules of English quite well, but find it difficult to translate that knowledge into a fluent conversation. In my lessons, you'll practice exactly that. We'll work on pronunciation, sentence structure, and fluency, but above all, on having the courage to speak. With targeted feedback, I'll help you speak English with greater ease and confidence—in any situation.

Pronunciation

Want your English to sound more natural? With a few practical adjustments, you can significantly improve your pronunciation and intonation. In these lessons, you'll learn how to form sounds correctly, use natural rhythm, and avoid typical "Dutch" mistakes. You'll soon notice that your English sounds much more natural.

Grammar

Once you understand how it works, English actually becomes much easier. In my lessons, you'll learn the rules in a comprehensible way and immediately apply them in conversations and exercises. This way, you'll learn not only what's correct, but also why—and that makes all the difference in how natural your English sounds.

We will work on grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking. I can also help you prepare for tests and complete your homework. I explain the material in a calm and clear way and adapt my teaching to your level and pace.
