About Me

I teach because it is fun. At secondary school, my friends asked me to help them with math and economics. I started teaching Dutch as a student at university. My pupils were usually business school students. Later on, I moved to a different university, in Nijmegen, and taught subjects like environmental economics, history and Dutch language. After finishing another project at the university, I decided to start my own IT company. As a company owner, I do projects for companies all over the world, including the department of Languages and Cultures at the University of London. Currently, I spend approximately half of my time as a language teacher and half of my time as an IT expert. I have also been working as a voluntary language teacher at a local organization in my city, which helps immigrants to start a new life in their new home country.
I have a masters degree and have finished a course on second language teaching and another course on teaching adult learners.
My students are from all ages, currently ranging from 9 till 70 and from all countries and cultures. I teach young children, craft workers and doctors. I'd be glad to have you as a student too.
Please, contact me before booking or (re)scheduling a lesson.
