Hello and welcome!
I’m Maaike, a 36-year-old from Belgium. I hold a Master’s degree in Criminology and spent three years working at an NGO. However, my adventurous spirit led me to travel with my partner, and we lived in Australia for a few years.
It was there that I discovered my love for teaching English. I found it incredibly fulfilling to help people who were struggling with the language in my spare time.
After taking a break to explore the beautiful landscapes of Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand, we returned to Europe. I noticed a growing interest in learning Flemish, so I decided to apply what I had learned from teaching English and expanded my focus to include Flemish as well.Me as a Teacher
° All ages and levels are welcome. I aim to provide a friendly, supportive, and understanding environment for all students, including those who are neurodiverse. I love connecting with people of all backgrounds, and I look forward to hearing your story!
° Mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth and learning.
° Lessons will be in Flemish, but if we get stuck I'm fluent in English and I speak some French as well :). Feel free to contact me in any of these languages.My lessons & teaching style
• Communicative approach- Student centered lessons
In my lessons, I use the communicative approach that focuses on learning through real conversations. Engaging in meaningful discussions activates your natural language learning strategies, helping you use Flemish effectively.
• Personal and Engaging:
Lessons are tailored to your specific needs and goals, ensuring you learn with ease and make steady progress.
• Warm and Professional
In my classroom, you will be encouraged to take risks and actively use Flemish. I believe that a friendly and supportive atmosphere will help you learn more effectively and build your confidence.My teaching material

It was my first time trying an online lesson, so I was a bit nervous, but Maaike was very bright and patient during the lesson. The structure was clear as well, so I enjoyed the class. I also appreciate her attention to the details of my pronunciation, which must help improve my speaking.

Maaike is an incredible teacher and always makes me feel welcome in her classroom. She is always taking notes during the lesson to create more personalized lessons in the future that match both my interests and language level. She is very supportive and I'm always excited to have another lesson with her!
