I am English born and raised, and lived in the United Kingdom until I was 26 years old, before relocating to Amsterdam, where I live and work today. I come from a very international family, which live all over the world. My mother, father and sister are also teachers too.

Before becoming a qualified English teacher, I had a 17-year career working throughout the world for a number of international fashion companies, and I have experience of working with people from numerous backgrounds and nationalities. I find it very rewarding working with people from different cultures everyday.

Whilst learning Dutch, I felt that teaching was a career that would not only provide me with immense personal satisfaction, but also where I would have a lot to offer my students. I completed the CELTA (Cambridge University) teacher training course in 2013, after which I have since taught English professionally full time.

I am a friendly and enthusiastic teacher, who is both patient and supportive. I also enjoy helping people gain confidence to express themselves in my native language. I understand how frustrating it can be when you cannot express yourself fully in another language and also the rewards that come with learning a language, to make yourself clearly understood.

I am passionate about teaching and I look forward to meeting you, and helping you reach your goals!
