I was born in Amsterdam, where I have lived most of my life. In 2006 I moved to Greece. I have a technical background and worked 16 years in IT.
In 2010 I made a drastical career change from IT to language teaching. Since then I have been teaching Dutch, Greek, English and German as private lessons and at schools and finally mainly through Skype.
Me as a Teacher
Although I have a technical background (Electrical Engineering / IT) I always had a desire to do more with languages and I have a talent for learning languages and teaching. During my IT career I also had to teach (the use of specific software etc.). At some point when it was time to find an other job, I made the change to become a full time language teacher. Since then I have been building up my experience at schools, in private lesson and very soon also through Skype.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching approach depends on the students' level and their goals. I can prepare you for a specific exam like the Dutch Integration Exam (A1 or A2) or NT2 (B1 or B2) or for a CNaVT certificate (A1 - C1) or just teach you Dutch or Greek in a way that suits your way of learning. I usually work with books, but I add a lot of my own material and audio and video material or articles, based on the interests of the student. I regularly measure progress, evaluate the lessons and make sure that my students are satisfied. But most of all learning a language must be a pleasure. This is what I work on most, excellent relationships with my students and making every lesson a language adventure.

Brigitte did an excellent job!!! I highly recommend her, I asked her to translate my web into Dutch, and she did in a very short time :)

Brigitte was very nice -- she asked me questions to get me talking, and helped me with the words I didn't know. She also offered me advice and resources for getting more language exposure in my upcoming trip to the Netherlands.
