With 25 years of experience in and outside the classroom, I can adapt flexibly to your needs. Which learning styles suit you best, and can we find a way to make learning an enjoyable experience for you?
My mission is to help you feel relaxed and confident when using the German or Dutch language.
I am personally fascinated by the interaction between people from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. These are human-to-human encounters where you can make the difference. How the brain works when learning a language is a second facination that I most likely will tell you about. This knowledge helps you find the best way to learn.
Kind regard,
