I am a trained CELTA English teacher and also have an MA TESOL to teach English to speakers of other languages. I love to inspire others not only to speak English but to encourage them to develop their own unique style of using the language which fits their needs, personality, interests and motivation.

I will always address the individual learning needs in the design of a course. You are encouraged to participate in the different techniques and methods that suit you as a learner. I am trained in task based teaching, multi-sensory techniques and teaching languages to learners with difficulties.

You don't need to come with anything for the course unless you want to.

About Me
Methodology

I will use a variety of different methods, so that you will enjoy your learning experience. I can offer you a structured course (Grammar is learned by doing). I currently teach to students and work professionals (oral presentations, writing skills and fluency). As I mix task based and a communication approach, students are active in the lessons and their learning comes from this participation. I teach all levels from beginners to advanced.

Methodology
I have the ability to use a variety of different methods depending on each. For those who are afraid of grammar and easily get confused, I will give you some easy tools so that you can improve without effort. I use communication strategists that I integrate throughout the course to help you be autonomous in the participation of tasks that I give. I do needs analysis and I commit myself to give you courses adapted to your needs, interests, strengths and weaknesses. You will not necessarily notice that you are making intellectual efforts but simply that you are having fun learning and using the English language better.

I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world.

English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time.

I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching.

We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.

I adapt my lessons according to my student and what they wish to work on or explore further: grammar exercises, reading or pronunciation, listening comprehension.

I work on the 4 skills related to learning a language: reading, writing, listening, speaking.

In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible.

In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons.

I offer tailored courses, in person or remotely, according to the needs of each student. For academic support, I adapt to the program followed by the child or adolescent, by deepening the concepts already covered, by re-explaining difficult points or by dissecting problematic themes.

For adults, I mainly teach the basics in Dutch, but I can adapt my lessons to different objectives. For example: learning the vocabulary for a new position, preparing for an exam (Selor, language certification), refreshing your knowledge before an interview, or improving your ability to communicate effectively in a professional or personal context. My approach is always flexible, student-centered, and aims to strengthen both understanding and self-confidence.

I offer English lessons focused on reading, writing, and speaking skills, immersion in the culture and history of the language and English-speaking peoples, and I use methods tailored to each student to ensure the fastest and most lasting progress. To achieve this, I utilize a variety of resources: traditional exercises (grammar, spelling), oral and audio exercises for pronunciation and comprehension, music and games, educational videos, and more.
I place great importance on writing by hand and not just typing on a computer, as well as on non-traditional learning methods (films, music with lyrics, games) because this engages different parts of the brain more deeply and makes it easier to learn and retain information.
I guarantee personalized learning methods and support for each student, as well as a significant improvement in level in less time than it takes via traditional platforms.
