About Me
italki teacher since Dec 8, 2021InterestsTravelFilms & TV SeriesFoodSports & Fitness
You've crossed borders, maybe for work, for love, or just because life called you somewhere new. Your suitcase is full of stories, and now it's time to tell them in English. Or start fresh with Dutch and unlock a new corner of the world.
I've lived in ten countries and taught over 15,000 lessons to 550+ students worldwide. I know what it feels like to start over in a new place, stumble over words, and then one day realize you belong.
That's what I help you do. Not just learn a language, but feel it. Like it's yours.
I teach:
English for all levels
Dutch for beginners
The English you dream in is closer than you think. That first Dutch sentence? It's waiting.Me as a Teacher
I've taught 550+ students and over 15,000 lessons online. Before teaching, I worked in customer service, hospitality, and childcare, roles that taught me how to connect with people quickly and genuinely.
I was fully educated in English through the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, earned my TEFL certification in 2021, and started a BA in International Business and Languages. I'm a native English speaker with a neutral accent, fluent in Dutch, and conversational in French and Spanish.
Living abroad most of my life has given me deep empathy for anyone navigating a new language in a new place. My lessons & teaching style
Lessons with me don't feel like lessons. For young learners, they feel like play: games, songs, & giggles. For adults, they feel like conversations: navigating a new city, prepping for a job interview, or ordering stroopwafels.
I teach everyone, from curious 3-year-olds to executives leading global teams. I adapt fast & connect even faster, with patience, playfulness, & structure that keeps you growing.
Where tiny voices grow and global ones resonate, that's the space I create.
We'll laugh through grammar mistakes & stretch your confidence until it feels like fluency. Every time, we move closer to that moment when English or Dutch stops being foreign & starts feeling like home.My teaching material

My daughter, who is in her second year with Anouk, said "this is the best teacher you can imagine!" In my opinion this is the best performance of attentive, empathizing, helping, hard-working, suppprtive and inspirational Anouk!
Thanks, Anouk, your guidance has really helped Vika to pass over fear of language and made her hard working with enthusiasm!

Lesson with Anouk was fantastic. i really Enjoyed her energy. She was supporting me when i have problems to find word. She is really patient and nice. I can only recommend her to anyone who want to improve english. I am introvert and i am ashamed to talk to strangers, but Anouk was smiling and supporting me and everything was great.

I really enjoyed the lessons: a light and friendly atmosphere, great sense of humor, kindness, and attention to detail. At the same time, everything is organized professionally and structured. You can feel the experience and the ability to explain things in a way that makes them clear and interesting. Thank you for such an approach — learning is truly enjoyable!
