My Story
I’ve always loved how language connects people. Growing up, family trips to the Alps made me enthusiastic about connecting with different cultures others and learning new languages.
In 2025, I started my tutoring business after discovering how much energy I got from helping expats feel at home in Dutch.
Teaching lets me combine my passion for languages with my love for connecting across cultures.
My lessons are structured yet relaxed — clear, personal, and often with humor. I value warmth, openness, and connection, and I want every session to feel safe and engaging.
I have 4+ years of experience as a teacher in higher education, have taught over 900 students, and hold a cum laude Master’s degree in Psychology — proof of how much I love learning myself.
Seeing that moment when things “click” for a student still inspires me every time.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy learning French, Italian, and Greek — and spending time outdoors or improving my tennis game.
Curious about lessons? I’d love to hear your story.
