📅 October schedule is up! On a break from 20-29 October 📅
👋Hello! My name is Sharon. I am a native speaker of Dutch and a fluent English speaker. I am gentle, patient and open-minded. I look forward to meeting you!
🌿My interests include singing, personal growth, gaming, journaling, watching series, yoga, walks in nature and reading. I love expanding my mind, and I look forward to learning through our exchanges!
✨I am intimately familiar with neurodivergence and mental health struggles, so I aim to create a safe space for others, regardless of background.
Me as a Teacher
It is important to me that you feel comfortable while studying with me. I will do my best to make sure that you feel at ease. I am not a trained professional teacher, but I will try to help you to the best of my ability.My lessons & teaching style
I recommend that you book a trial lesson or lesson 0 first. This gives us and opportunity to do a little "vibe check", and for me to learn about your goals, preferences and needs. We will then be able to determine whether I may be a good fit for you as a tutor.
I describe my lessons and teaching style as informal, empathic, collaborative and dynamic. Let's go with the flow based on what feels best for both of us! I may lack professional training, but I think it also offers me a certain level of informality and flexiblity that my students appreciate.My teaching material

Ik wilde met Sharon 1-on-1 praten, omdat ik daarmee moet verbeteren. Sharon doet precies wat ik wil doen en wat ik wil leren. Ze hebt heel veel geduld met mij, ze geeft me oefeningen voor het volgende les en ze helpt mij mijn fouten te herstellen.

Sharon, many thanks for your active listening and for helping me to improve my Dutch language skills. You pay attention to areas that can be improved and this helps a lot. Also, I really appreciate the quality of our conversations and the balance between activities during a lesson. Thank you and see you soon!

Hele fijne les! We lazen en bekeken een artikel en bespraken het samen. Ze hielp me echt om actief in het Nederlands te denken en te praten.
