My love for languages started early. I went to a French immersion elementary school in Washington, D.C. I learned my earliest science lessons - the water cycle, the parts of insects, and simple machines - all in French.
For university, I studied engineering, and then spent four years working at a German engineering firm in the heartland of American (Nebraska) alongside Brazilian and American colleagues. Experiences like these have shaped who I am today: a polyglot, a cyclist, a problem solver, and, of course, a teacher.
Whether someone hopes to travel, advance their career, or simply learn for the love of it, it brings me joy to be part of their journey.
Ik als leerkracht
I believe that teaching begins with listening and understanding. I love to hear about a student's passions and motivations - from there I can create a plan to keep the student interested and engaged while working towards their goals. This requires that I hold myself to high standards of patience, respect, and humility. At the same time, I expect myself to be an expert the subject matter I teach and I continuously study to remain sharp.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lessons are primarily conversation-based, because I believe the fastest improvements happen when you practice real, natural English. I focus on helping you speak confidently, expand your vocabulary, and express your ideas clearly in everyday situations.
However, if you prefer more structure, I am very happy to prepare grammar-focused lessons on request. I have previously worked through a rigid grammar course, so I can guide you through all the (endless!) English verb tenses, explain grammar points clearly, and provide targeted practice exercises when needed.
