Want to expand and improve your knowledge of the English language and gain more self-confidence? Which can! With my varied conversation lessons, alternating with reading, listening and short tests, we playfully build on better pronunciation and understanding. The lessons are adapted to your needs and we can certainly work on specific goals.
I have more than 40 years of experience with the English language, have lived in South West England for > 16 years and worked for many years in business in both the UK and the Netherlands. With a lot of hands-on experience with the language and internally improving the language use of international colleagues (Thailand, Philippines, Dutch, etc.), I now also have a TEFL/TESOL Teaching Certificate and have now focused on teaching.

I also enjoy teaching and tutoring the Dutch language for non-native speakers (NT2), and I am happy to help you broaden your knowledge of not only the language but also Dutch customs and traditions. You can also come to me for CNAVT exams, which are Accredited Dutch language exams. You can start preparing now with lessons for an exam in November 2026 at A-2 or B-1 level.

About Me
I teach lessons that are varied in content and therefore certainly remain interesting; with a touch of humor here and there because that is certainly part of the English language. After having lived in various countries, including Portugal, France and the United Kingdom, I now live close to Alkmaar (NH). My knowledge of the English language in particular, but certainly also other languages, has always contributed to good contact with people locally and in the business world, as you always have 'added value'. Now I would also like to teach locally in people's homes and online. By being open to the knowledge, language and customs of other nationalities, I have enriched my life and I would like to pass on this inspiration to others.

I work at an international language school and I teach Dutch to mainly expats.
My focus is on pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. It is important for language proficiency to keep practicing regularly, which is why I give homework after the lesson. By mainly speaking and doing role plays, I get a lot out of my students and they gain more confidence in speaking the language.

General English: I design the English course based on your personal needs, interests, and motivations. Based on your profile and existing level of English, the course would focus on a specific combination of grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

English for academic purposes: This course would cover the key aspects of English needed in higher education and academic contexts. In addition to grammar and vocabulary, the course trains the key receptive and productive skills needed in higher education. Receptive skills involve reading and listening to academic texts. Productive skills involve writing and speaking for academic purposes (e.g., research papers, research proposals, essays, presentations, and others).
