About Me
My name is Criss, I'm 32 years old, and I absolutely love teaching. I enjoy meeting new students from all over the world, getting to learn more about their lives and their goals, and adapting my teaching style and techniques to their unique needs and preferences.
I am a strong believer in lifelong learning, and I invest a lot of time in my own continuous professional development, participating and presenting at international education conferences, delivering teacher training and learning new languages myself. I am in fact currently working on improving my own Dutch. :)
I am also passionate about technology, gaming and gamification, and I integrate all of these areas into my teaching in different ways that make the learning process more enjoyable and personalised for the students.
I strongly believe that the role of a teacher - or any educator for that matter - is to help their learners to become more and more autonomous and flexible in their given field, and this is reflected in my teaching through the different lesson formats, activities and tools that we use collaboratively - even with students as young as 3.
