About Me

I am a native Dutch speaker and fluent in English, and I work as a language coach for people who want to communicate more naturally and with confidence.
My own experience as a language learner shapes my approach. I started with apps like Duolingo to understand vocabulary and meaning, and later tried traditional language classes. For me, this didn’t work. My life was too busy, and the pressure of structured lessons made learning feel heavy and stressful.
What truly helped was using the language in real life. To listen, try applying words in daily situations, and allow myself to make mistakes. That is where understanding and confidence slowly started to grow.Me as a Teacher
I don’t work as a traditional teacher. I work as a coach.
Language learning can feel vulnerable. Speaking out loud, making mistakes, and not knowing if you’re saying things “right” can create a lot of insecurity. I understand this deeply.
My role is to support your process, to sit next to you rather than above you, and to help you build trust in your own ability to express yourself. Confidence doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from feeling safe enough to express. My lessons & teaching style
My sessions are conversational, practical, and coaching-based rather than lesson-driven.
We focus on real communication and situations from your daily life. Through conversation, we explore vocabulary, sentence structure, and clarity of expression in a natural way.
There is no pressure to perform or “get it right”. We work at a pace that fits you, your energy, and your life. This makes learning sustainable, calm, and enjoyable, especially if you already have a busy or demanding life.
I value calm, clarity, and trust.
I create a supportive environment where you can practice speaking freely, make mistakes, and grow more comfortable expressing yourself over time.My teaching material

Teaching experience
2010 - Current
Communication CoachI have been working as a self-employed coach since 2010, supporting individuals in developing awareness, clarity, and expression.
My background is rooted in working with emotional and physical awareness, which later evolved into coaching language.
Today, I focus on helping individuals express themselves more clearly and confidently in Dutch and English, using real conversations, reflection, and practical language use.
My work is experience-based and supportive.
