Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 10 Jan 2017InterestsArtReizen
Hi everyone!
As well as teaching I love travelling and learning about different cultures and countries. I have lived abroad several times - in Spain, Mexico and Libya, and have visited around 30 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. I love eating out and really enjoy food from all over the world.
I come from a family of artists and I love looking at and talking about art, as well as being creative myself. I also really enjoy spending time in nature and gardening, and one of my other hobbies is to photograph flowers and plants and make art from them too.Ik als leerkracht
I started teaching during my year abroad in Madrid, Spain, which was part of my degree course. I 'got the bug' and I've been teaching ever since! I particularly love teaching on italki because I can work one-to-one with you and so we can work on exactly what you want and need. Every class is personalised to suit you. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lesson vary, depending on what you need. For example, if you require it, I have material that I can share with you to use during the class and for self study.
If you cannot give me at least 24 hours notice, the Italki credits will be transferred to me if you cannot attend the class.Mijn lesmateriaal
