Hi! I’m Tanner, a teacher, stand-up comedian (on instagram: tannerscomedy), public speaker, and language learner with a master’s in linguistics, ESL certifications (TESOL/TEFL), and I've taught since 2015 - wow that's almost more than 10 years now and I love it. That's my longest, most committed relationship! Don't tell my wife...
I specialize in helping learners (B1–C2) speak more confidently and comfortably.
Expect lessons that are: conversation-based, interesting, and always tailored to your goals (school, business, travel, presentations, revenge, etc.)
If you want fluency, book a trial, and let’s improve your English!Ik als leerkracht
I personalize my lessons as much as possible. I want to give you the opportunity to improve your English quickly and help you use newly learned information as quick as possible in the real world.
I keep my lessons fun and light-hearted to keep you motivated and excited for every lesson. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lessons almost always consist of:
1. A warmup activity: usually discussing related topics, news, etc. using pictures or discussion questions.
2. Vocabulary
3. Reading, listening to, or watching something
4. We check to make sure you understand everything important.
5. Deeper discussion.
6.Homework (optional)
7.Review mistakes and corrections that I have saved for the end of the lesson.
8. We schedule our next lesson and say goodbye! =)
and yes, I give feedback and make sure to correct your mistakes.Mijn lesmateriaal

I really enjoy my lessons with Tanner. He runs the classes in a very engaging, fun and interesting way. The materials are always well-chosen and thought-provoking, which makes each lesson feel fresh and motivating. I also really appreciate the detailed feedback I receive after every class. It helps me understand my mistakes and improve much faster. Truly an excellent learning experience!
