My name is Sebastiaan van der Starre, I am a young English & Dutch (+ culture and business) teacher living and working in Mexico. I was born in 1989 in Cuckfield, in the south of England. Brought up bilingual: English and Dutch.
I studied International Business & Languages with the languages English, Dutch, Spanish and German. With a Minor in Latin American Business Studies. I have a lot of different work experience and I have lived in different countries; the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Mexico.
I love travelling, learning about other cultures and languages and meeting new interesting people from all over the world. My hobbies are squash, mountain biking, snowboarding and wakeboarding.
I was born interested in languages, my English mother (30+ years English teacher and Cambridge examiner) and Dutch father brought me up bilingual.
In 2014 I started teaching foreign exchange students in the Netherlands and when I moved to Oaxaca, Mexico in 2015, I became a language teacher in a language school where I started teaching students of all ages and levels. In 2016 I started teaching English and Dutch online and I started teaching English, cultural and business subjects at local universities.
I teach general, conversational/business English and exam preparations (TOEFL/ TOEIC/ IELTS/ FCE/ CAE). General, conversational and immigration/inburgerings exam preparation Dutch.
Getting to know the student, their interests, skills, strengths and language purpose is the most important ...Meu material de ensino
