I am a fun guy in my 30s who loves to travel, teach, and learn! I believe every corner of the world can be fascinating if you know how to look and who to talk to. I love learning about all kinds of topics, including the people, places, and cultures that make the world so interesting. Let's get to know each other and improve your English together in a fun way!Ik als leerkracht
I am very open-minded to the kind of style that works for each student, as everyone learns differently. I don't want classes to feel like a chore, but rather to feel fun and relaxed, like chatting with a friend! Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My goal is to keep the mood light, while tailoring my lessons to your ability, goals, and preferred learning styles. We learn in a friendly environment where you can learn without feeling like you are stuck in a formal class!
During conversation practice, we can have a casual chat, like you would with a friend. You may prefer to be corrected a lot or a little. You may also wish to practice a job interview, a work presentation, etc.
During reading practice, we can read what you like together and I'll provide assistance or insight when needed.
If you have another idea, let me know! There is no one lesson type that is the right answer - all can be beneficial when used together!Mijn lesmateriaal

Werkervaring
2015 - 2020
English TeacherThis experience has made me comfortable teaching English to students with a low English level. I developed key skills such as patience and positive encouragement. Furthermore, I developed the habit of always speaking clearly, at an appropriate speed, and with a standard accent.
2010 - 2012
Teaching AssistantI learned a lot about communicating effectively with students at a similar age as myself. I honed my ability to make the students feel comfortable and relaxed, in order to focus on the task at hand in a fun and effective way.
