I was a Dutch teacher in secondary education for many years. Currently I have emigrated and I am looking for work to do from home. There are many students who find Dutch boring. They are also right about that. However, it is a compulsory subject for which you better pass. Together with the student, I set realistic goals that we will then achieve. I will provide support and explanation until the achieved goal has been achieved.

I myself work a lot in English and can also guide non-native speakers in learning Dutch.

My prices depend on the financial situation of the student. Someone who has just moved to the Netherlands has less to spend than a student whose parents both have jobs. The prices are therefore in consultation.

Unfortunately, young people sometimes get stuck in the current education system. Usually this is because they have lost structure, fail, and do not see the usefulness of school. Together with the student / pupil, I will look at what the problems are and how we can solve them.


From my work as a school leader, I have also guided many teachers and other school leaders in their careers. What are you stuck in now, how can we tackle that, what do you really want, what does your future look like. I would like to help you!

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

As a native English speaker from the United States, I focus on creating lessons that are personalized to each learner’s goals, interests, and preferred learning style. I believe people learn best when they are practicing English in ways that are actually useful and interesting to them, so I adapt lessons based on what students want to improve most. Whether someone wants to become more confident in conversations, improve pronunciation, prepare for travel, practice business English, expand vocabulary, or simply speak more naturally, I build lessons around those goals.

My teaching style is relaxed, supportive, and conversation-focused, helping learners feel comfortable making mistakes and improving naturally over time. Because I also speak Slovak and Russian and have lived internationally for most of my life, I understand the challenges that come with learning a new language and communicating confidently in different environments. I aim to make lessons engaging, practical, and enjoyable while helping students develop real-world English skills they can actually use in everyday life.

To translate well, you have to know how to read. To read between the lines. To understand why the author chose to use this word, this phrase rather than another. To be able to feel and analyze the effect, the impression, the music of their sentences.

As a translator for publishing for over 20 years, I help higher education students (English LLCER, translation schools, etc.) to improve their approach to texts, to better understand them and thus, better render them in another language.

This course is for English enthusiasts, future teachers, interpreters, translators, who want to learn to translate from English to French like pros, or to delve into the heart of a literary text to extract its essence. ;o)
