I am a musician and world traveler with a very open mind to new cultures, languages, and experiences. I have performed piano aboard cruise ships since 2017 and I have learned to see our Earth from a different perspective, all while sharing my talents and improving my own second language skills along the way.
I have been performing my entire life and I love to add a unique artistic flavour to everything I do. I enjoy seeing others share in the knowledge that I can provide and I always strive to be a helpful member of society.
Ik als leerkracht
I received my certification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language from International TEFL Academy in 2019, which included several months of work as a volunteer teacher in Winnipeg, Canada.
I completed additional training in 2024 for Teaching IELTS Preparation through the TEFL Institute.
I have taught on italki since April of 2020 and have sincerely enjoyed the privilege of tutoring hundreds of students looking to improve their language skills.
My long-term goal is to relocate to another country (most likely in Asia) and teach students of all ages.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I am more adapted to teaching individuals with an intermediate to advanced level in English, focusing on developing more fluent and accurate speech for everyday casual conversations or for more formal settings, depending on the student's needs and level. Lessons are student-centered, meaning the student is talking most of the time, thus improving pronunciation and creating more natural dialogue.
I use online resources and often create my own materials for lessons. Depending on my students' goals and learning style, different types of materials will be used (visual/audio/text/other).
I am very patient and culturally sensitive, and am very understanding of the language learning process.

We have worked together for over a year. He really knows how to teach every skill of the language paying attention to my mistakes through the whole lesson, and we work them out. One of the best teachers which I've talked to.

A relaxed and lively classroom atmosphere encourages me to speak up actively and not be afraid of making mistakes, which makes me feel very relaxed during the learning process.
