Teacher

I love teaching and I seem to end up doing it wherever I am.

I have a master’s degree in teaching English, and another one in psychology. I am qualified to teach children aged 12 and up throughout the EU, including grammar school (VWO in the Netherlands, Gymnasium in Germany) and higher education.

I have extensive experience teaching English as a second language; to Dutch and German speakers, but also to people with other language backgrounds. I have fun teaching and laughing with my students. I believe in using evidence-based methods and in adapting my classes to my students.

I am currently teaching at HSBI and at Bielefeld University, but my main job is as a recruiter and quality manager for further-education supplier MR Education in Bielefeld. That means I spend a lot of my time observing how others teach, and giving them feedback. I also support our teachers with regular meetings, and think about how to improve our services.
