I like to keep lessons fun while packing them full of challenging conversation.
Feel free to ask me questions and let me know how YOU would like to learn. My lessons are tailored to your needs. That being said, please be mindful of which lesson you book. I offer an "informal" conversation lesson as well as a traditional English lesson tailored to specific goals.
Let's chat and let me know what you need!
I believe language is best learned by immersion. While translation may be necessary at times, students will better grasp their target language by diving in head first. Learning any new language expands your horizons. Let's learn!
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I currently offer two classes. There is a significant discount for repeat students who book packages! :)
Class types:
"Let's Talk About Something Fun!" is an informal conversation hour that will help you improve your fluency and hold more meaningful conversations in English.
"General English Lessons Suited to Your Needs" is a more formal approach and will provide you with in depth practice suited to your goals! We will identify your needs and get your English going.
While challenging, learning should be fun and stress free! As a teacher I aim to create a friendly, fun and fruitful learning experience. Let's do this!

One of the best teachers I've ever had β and I've had more than 10! She creates an incredibly supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, always stepping in with guidance when needed. Her ability to adapt and vary class types keeps learning engaging and effective. With her flexibility, charisma, cheerful personality, and motivating presence, she truly stands out as an exceptional teacher.
