About Me
Hello,
I’m Elke, a native Dutch speaker from Belgium, though for the past two years I’ve been splitting my time between Belgium and Spain.
With a background in journalism, psychology, and communication, I love helping people grow, gain confidence, and express themselves fluently in a new language. I’m warm, curious, communicative, and I enjoy meaningful conversations.
For me, teaching is all about connection, clarity, and creating a relaxed, positive learning environment.
I enjoy swimming, practicing yoga, and discovering new places. I bring that same calm, open, and curious energy to my lessons.
