I enjoy the process of drawing out the potential in people by getting to know them and understanding how they work. Throughout my undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Social Work), I worked part-time as a tutor, both for a registered agency and privately. I found that this was not only a good way to earn money as a student, but it also allowed me to effectively utilize my extra time. Empowering others to reach their academic and personal goals is highly rewarding, and it is something that I have come to greatly enjoy. My personal passion for teaching in this manner drives my commitment to the success of my students.

English was one of my favorite subjects in school, and it is always easier to teach when one has a passion for the subject matter. I also pursued Advanced Programme English as a subject in high school. I love analyzing literature and making sense of the language's structure.

Currently, I am based in Amsterdam as I am pursuing a Masters degree in Criminal Justice at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Read less

I believe that languages are an important window into culture and should be taught with this in mind. That is why I try to adopt a very practical approach during lessons. I can tutor English at any level or age and be flexible according to the desired intensity of learning. Different people learn in different ways, and throughout my experience in tutoring, I have become well-equipped to recognize students' needs and adapt my approach accordingly. Read less
