I have been teaching languages for more than 10 years. I grew up in different countries, and therefore to pick up different languages. In terms of helping others with languages, I discovered that this is possible without recourse to grammar or 'studying hard', i.e. completely effortlessly, just like we learn our first language.
Ik als leerkracht
I began teaching in 2004 at a Waldorf school in southern England. I taught a variety of humanities, including German, English, and French. I have also worked in translations for many years, which has helped me to learn the subtleties of expression in the languages I use.
I believe in learning naturally, without studying rules and structure (none of us do this with our first language, after all!). I have always enjoyed seeing progress in others, and facilitating this in an effortless way is something I find very rewarding.
I have also taught theatre, as well as worked with disadvantaged young people, focusing on motivation, self-esteem and self-confidence.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
If you are looking for a way of learning that is not mind-heavy, and bypasses learning grammar rules, vocabulary lists, etc., then I am very happy to help you. There are a lot of myths surrounding learning a language, be it 'when you're older it's not as easy', 'you have to live in the country to really learn the language' etc. It is entirely possible to lean in a way that is relaxed, easy, enjoyable, and very effective. My approach is based on what has become known as the 'natural method' and is based on the way we learn our first language as children. My sessions are based on comprehension, using images, gestures, conversation, and any number of interesting and fun exercises.

Fun, as always. Luca makes his lessons variable, flexible and free-wheeling, adapting to the converstion, avoiding the doctrinaire. He listens to and engages with the student (me), never insisting that we stick to a rigid or preconceived plan. Reduces as much as possible the stress of learning. Thanks.
