About Me

Hello, after graduating I decided to see the world. I travelled and worked my way around the globe for 15 years, but that all came to an end in 2015 when I fell in love with the sweet Mexican girl. I moved to Mexico, became a teacher and discovered that I love teaching. Besides teaching 2000 online classes, I also have years of experience of teaching in schools and I have been trained in teaching NT2 by the university of Leuven.

I adjust my classes to the needs of my students. For beginners, I use a structured approach with a emphasis on speaking and communication. But if you are preparing for an exam, job interview or are mainly interested in improving your communication skills, the classes will take on a very different form. I´m looking forward to working with you.

My trial lessons
