    About Me

    Hi!
    My name is Esther, I'm 27 years old and both English and Spanish are my mother tongue because I grew up in a personal Spanish context and in American schools. I'm learning Dutch and I also know French and some Italian.

    I have had my academic education in countries such Finland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, and Spain; and I have lived in 8 countries, the aforementioned and Luxembourg, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Spain.

    Due to my background and my knowledge of languages, I understand what it is to be a language learner, as well as the importance of acknowledging different cultural contexts. My main goal in my lessons (aside from the obvious objective of improving your English and/or Spanish) is for you to enjoy the actual learning process. I infuse my lessons with creativity and adaptability. We have objectives that we will certainly obtain, but we will get to them with a solid foundations that will go beyond your lessons with me. It's important to me that you learn in a positive environment that motivates you to go out into the world with your newfound language expertise.

    Education

    I hold a BA in English Studies, a Master’s in Education, and a second Master’s (MSc) from Ghent University. I first trained as a language teacher, then specialized further in neurolinguistics through the EMCL program — a competitive Erasmus Mundus master’s focusing on how the brain processes language and how we learn it. These studies deepened my understanding of language development across different learners, including those with learning differences like dyslexia or language processing challenges. I’ve also worked with neurodivergent students, including people with autism, and I always aim to create an inclusive and flexible environment that fits individual learning needs. My path has taken me through classrooms in Spain’s Official Language Schools, one-on-one tutoring, and course creation, and all ages ranging from children to retired adults.

    I first trained as a language teacher, then specialized further in neurolinguistics through a master’s focusing on how the brain processes language and how we learn it.
    Taught at Official Language School in Madrid, Spain

    Spanish classes (A1 to B2) for people aged 15+
    We do a little bit of everything during the lessons! First and foremost we look at the grammar and the four skills to learn a language well: Producción oral, Producción escrita, Comprensión oral & Comprensión escrita. Second, we have fun doing other activities, including playing, listening to music, cooking, or sewing. NB! All material is shared via GoogleDrive and lessons take place with me or via Skype.

    Interactive Spanish lesson (A1-B1) with a focus on speaking
    Hola! Would you like to learn Spanish in an interactive way with a focus on speaking? Do you love Latin American culture as much as I do? Say no more! We first look at where you are now and what you would like to achieve and I adjust my lesson based on that. Having lived in Ecuador, I know all too well how important it is to be truly immersed in a language. That's why I think practice is very important: talking about your interests! Because... one learns by doing :D Not: pure theory and rules while sitting down Do: theory and practice - we chat a lot and get to work with photos, music, cooking, etc... The lessons are standard at my home in Ghent Center (negotiable in Aalter). Due to training, I will not be available one Thursday and Friday per month until January '25. The other weeks and on Saturdays.

It is the official language in 21 countries: Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Spain and Equatorial Guinea. More than 390 million native speakers. Learning Spanish can open up new opportunities for you as you can communicate when travelling to Latin America, Spain or Equatorial Guinea.
