I first started my teaching career as a one on one tutor teaching ESL, German and French. I wanted to use my passion for foreign languages to help students who could use a little extra support and had, in many cases, fallen out of love with learning new languages. That's when I discovered how much I enjoy motivating students! Since then, I have done internships in various primary schools in my home country of the Netherlands, and in 2019 a dream came true when I was able to move abroad to start teaching at an international school in beautiful Albania.
I strongly believe that learning a new language should be fun! I like my lessons to be interactive, student centered and engaging, so I use many different tools, materials and activities ranging from games to songs to authentic materials such as recipes and kids' tv shows
