About Me
Hi!
My name is Esther, I'm 27 years old and both English and Spanish are my mother tongue because I grew up in a personal Spanish context and in American schools. I'm learning Dutch and I also know French and some Italian.

I have had my academic education in countries such Finland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, and Spain; and I have lived in 8 countries, the aforementioned and Luxembourg, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Spain.

Due to my background and my knowledge of languages, I understand what it is to be a language learner, as well as the importance of acknowledging different cultural contexts. My main goal in my lessons (aside from the obvious objective of improving your English and/or Spanish) is for you to enjoy the actual learning process. I infuse my lessons with creativity and adaptability. We have objectives that we will certainly obtain, but we will get to them with a solid foundations that will go beyond your lessons with me. It's important to me that you learn in a positive environment that motivates you to go out into the world with your newfound language expertise.
Education
I hold a BA in English Studies, a Master’s in Education, and a second Master’s (MSc) from Ghent University. I first trained as a language teacher, then specialized further in neurolinguistics through the EMCL program — a competitive Erasmus Mundus master’s focusing on how the brain processes language and how we learn it. These studies deepened my understanding of language development across different learners, including those with learning differences like dyslexia or language processing challenges. I’ve also worked with neurodivergent students, including people with autism, and I always aim to create an inclusive and flexible environment that fits individual learning needs. My path has taken me through classrooms in Spain’s Official Language Schools, one-on-one tutoring, and course creation, and all ages ranging from children to retired adults.

We do a little bit of everything during the lessons!

First and foremost we look at the grammar and the four skills to learn a language well: Producción oral, Producción escrita, Comprensión oral & Comprensión escrita.

Second, we have fun doing other activities, including playing, listening to music, cooking, or sewing.

NB! All material is shared via GoogleDrive and lessons take place with me or via Skype.

Effortless English Language Learning

is my favourite method of teaching people USEFUL English to help them become confident English speakers fast, without studying or effort.


Here is how you will learn if you choose to take this Course:
During each session:

STEP 1: I ask you "appropriate" questions to what's most important to you in your life.

STEP 2: You reply as good as you can.

STEP 3: I correct your English where necessary, your pronunciation if needed, and help you say what you actually are trying to say (FYI: I have 18 years of experience in teaching English ).

STEP 4: Together we create a script, a piece of text, for your next 1-minute English ListeningExercise.

STEP 5: After the session I professionally record your tailor-made 1-minute English ListeningExercise.

STEP 6: Your task is to listen to that ListeningExercise for 10 minutes every day with headphones.

STEP 7: A week later (or less), you take your next session with me where you show me how well you can say your 1-minute English ListeningExercise from memory and we repeat the process.


It doesn't matter if you have a beginner or mid-intermediate English level, if you follow these steps, then there is no need to focus on English grammar or sentence structure because that will come automatically to you.

That's what I want for you:
to acquire a natural English awareness that is focused and useful to your situation in your life, not mine, so that you can become the confident English speaker you intend to become and USE the English you've learnt on a daily basis.

I'll be there for you as your English language coach and lift you up each time you need it or request it.

So if you are looking for a 5-star teacher to improve your English fast, I AM that guy.
That may sound arrogant but I strongly believe in myself and my teaching methods.
And this is what sets me apart from rest.

And if you also believe I am all of that, and you are committed to learning English and know what you want in life and where you're going, I am sure you'll give it a try.

Life is simple.

Hola!

Would you like to learn Spanish in an interactive way with a focus on speaking? Do you love Latin American culture as much as I do? Say no more!

We first look at where you are now and what you would like to achieve and I adjust my lesson based on that. Having lived in Ecuador, I know all too well how important it is to be truly immersed in a language. That's why I think practice is very important: talking about your interests! Because... one learns by doing :D

Not: pure theory and rules while sitting down
Do: theory and practice - we chat a lot and get to work with photos, music, cooking, etc...

The lessons are standard at my home in Ghent Center (negotiable in Aalter). Due to training, I will not be available one Thursday and Friday per month until January '25. The other weeks and on Saturdays.

Biology, physics, chemistry and French and English. The best study results are achieved with regular study and keeping up with the study material. Lack of sufficient basis for progress can be remedied. Through years of experience I have developed a coaching method in which the pupil, student or coachee as a person is central with an eye for context and specific circumstances.
