Fun – Adequate time – Progress – Interesting Subjects – Your hobbies or fields of interest
Those are crucial points for my lessons. Both teacher and student want results, and practice proves that individual attention and a personal plan for the student work best.
During the intake lesson we will discuss your wishes, why you want to learn Dutch, and very importantly, assess your current level in order to draw up an individual lesson plan. And of course we will also look at your learning style preferences, because this varies per student.
I have years of experience as a teacher of English, and as a teacher of Dutch at Berlitz and Serasta Trainingen in Vlaardingen.

About Me
Are you excited to learn a (new) language? Then you've come to the right place!
Because I think teaching is the best thing there is. When you as a pupil or student understand something after you may have had a lot of trouble with it, then I am very happy!
I often use unusual teaching materials. For example podcasts (and there are plenty to find that match your interests), or short films or a nice reading text. Because learning should be and remain fun.
For example, I have already helped many adults to get over their 'anxiety threshold' when they have to give a presentation in English at work, for example.
But young people are also very welcome. Together we look at what you need, and how we can fill in the lessons.
And do you have a day when things don't go so well? No problem, we will move the lesson to another day.

Fun – Sufficient Time – Progress – Fun Topics – Your Interests –
Those are the main points of my lessons. Both teacher and student want results, and practice proves that individual attention and a personalized lesson plan work best.
During the introductory meeting we will first discuss your wishes, what English is needed for, interests, and very importantly, your current level in order to draw up a lesson plan. And of course we also look at preferences regarding teaching style, because this can differ per student.
After my studies as a Second Degree English teacher, I enjoyed teaching for a number of years.
I was also co-owner of my own translation/text agency Dutch/English and English/Dutch.
I continued my translation work from various English-speaking countries. I lived and worked in Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia, where I learned to speak English like the locals.
During my long time abroad I followed various studies, including in the field of music, linguistics and animals (especially horses).
After many years abroad, I returned to the Netherlands in 2017 and now enjoy teaching English (online).
Because I have lived in various English-speaking countries for almost 30 years, my English is exceptionally good. I have learned a bit of culture from each country and of course also some local pronunciation, and when I cheerfully greet you with a G'day mate! then that might be the first Australian expression you hear. But of course you first learn 'proper English', so that everyone can understand you!
