During our first trail lesson we will sit down together and talk about your specific goals and needs, and during the lesson we'll discover your strenghts and weaknesses. After giving you an initial evaluation, I'll then propose a custom made lesson plan to help you improve your English in the most effective way, according to your needs! By taking my classes I will teach you the best words and phrases to confidently communicate like a native speaker in any situation! Our lessons will be FUN and INTERACTIVE and you'll have plenty of time to SPEAK! I have a relaxed teaching style that puts students at ease and I provide useful, gentle corrections in a fun and memorable way. After every class I give you appropriate homework assignments.
I am originally from sunny South Africa and have been speaking English since I was a kid. After having lived in Sweden, the United Kingdom and Uganda, I am currently living in the Netherlands where I give private English lessons to adults and make paintings 🎨 in my art studio. With a master in Water Management and having worked in sales and marketing in Uganda, I can talk about a wide range of topics. I have always had a natural talent for languages and I absolutely love teaching, so deciding to teach English came very naturally to me. Having experienced many different cultures and being a natural communicator, I love helping people from all over the world improve their English in the most fun, interactive and effective ways. Besides art and English, I also love skateboarding🛹, wave surfing🏄, playing my guitar 🎸 and reading about history, technology and philosophy📚.
I'm very much looking forward to having you in my class. Students describe me as a relaxed, empathetic, friendly, professional and fun teacher. I offer adults the following aspects of the English language, from beginner to intermediate level:
🌍 Conversational English
🌟 General English
🌟 English for traveling
🌟 Job interview preparation
🌟 Building vocabulary in your (business) field
🌟 Develop pronunciation to sound like a native speaker
🌟 English idioms and common phrases native speakers use
🌍 English grammar
🌟I cover all grammar topics ranging from beginner to intermediate and use proven, effective
teaching methods.
🌟 My grammar lessons are appropriately graded according to your specific needs.
🌟 After each lesson I'll send you homework on the grammar topics we covered in the lesson.

Why should you spend money on me?
To me you are not just 'another student'. Every meeting with someone is special and I believe we should be very grateful for it. As we work closely together to improve your competences in English, we'll get to know each other more on a personal level. I really try to give you the best and most honest feedback possible. In addition, I use supplementary materials and resources outside of our normal lessons such as interesting articles and videos (TED Talks for example). I also provide homework assignments after each lesson.
If you can't make it for a lesson, It would be greatly appreciated if could cancel at least 12 hour before the lesson😊.
