    About Me

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    With more than 30 years of experience as a Dutch-English translator, editor and proofreader, I have a very good knowledge of both languages. I speak to both of them every day.
    Having lived and worked in different countries, I personally know all too well the challenges of trying to communicate in a foreign language. Once that is successful, it is important to keep speaking and practicing that language. Likewise for English.
    The English that one learns at school is a good foundation, but if you want to be able to speak the language fluently, nothing better than talking and practicing with a native speaker who was born and raised in England, like me.
    A common problem for adults is a lack of self-confidence, their fear of being laughed at if they make a mistake. That's why my classes are very informal, I work alone 1 on 1 or in a small group, and I wait until the last 10 minutes of each 1-hour lesson to correct any mistakes.
    My students benefit twice from this: they can talk about small things, about topics that are close to their heart or that they are enthusiastic about; and I do not interrupt them unnecessarily with comments and/or suggestions. I give it at the end of the lesson to take home and think about it.

    Primary School English: It's all just ticking boxes. (Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2)
    School moves fast and it can often feel like you are speeding through with your hands open just hoping you can grab something - anything - that you can grab to slow you enough that you can say: Yes, I got this. English is a core subject in primary schools, the most important subject. As a primary school teacher, my English sessions will be structured so that you can transition much easier from school to tutoring lessons. As a student of mine I am committed to finding the best way for you to understand the trickiest areas of English. I often tell children that English is just ticking boxes. Does your sentence have correct punctuation? How about grammar? Have you used conjunctions? My role is to understand where your weakness are so that you can understand enough that your weaknesses become your strengths. My sessions are not strictly designed for children. No matter what stage in life you are at, whether you're a teenager or adult, I can cater to your needs.

Do you or your child need a little boost to help in school? Are they not quite meeting age related expectations? Do you or your child want extra help over the school holidays and half terms? My tutoring will be tailored to your individual needs and areas you need to work on. I will explore which methods and interests you benefit from and make each lesson fun and engaging.

    Improve Your Use of English in a Fun and Simple Way
    A common excuse that people for whom English is not their first language use to dismiss their inability to speak and use the language well is, 'After all, it's not my language.' Well, it is, if your successfully getting by from day to day depends on it! The English language is unarguably a universal means of communication and the ability to speak and write it well will always give you an advantage in almost every field of endeavour in life - work, school, with your children and at their school; interacting with neighbours or at the shops and so on. You do not, necessarily have to speak with a crisp British accent, but you do need to be able to speak and write with your tenses, verb-subject agreement, spelling, punctuation etc. in place. My class is designed to help you with this and also, get you beyond just the basics of the use of English, by teaching you about and showing you how to use the different parts of speech, language registers and so on. You will also learn how to pronounce words properly. And all of this in a fun and exciting way! The result will be a better command of the English language and greater self-confidence.
