Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 24 Aug 2021InterestsHistoryEnvironment & NatureFilms & TV SeriesScienceReizen
I was born in the Netherlands, but also grew up in Belgium and America. When I was eighteen years old, I moved to China to study martial arts and eventually became a master of Chinese swordsmanship eleven years later. I love adventure and travelled over 80000km, to the most remote areas of South China, on motorbikes and documented the trips through photography, also trekking through jungles and caves. I enjoy watching films - especially those of the science fiction, action and horror genres. I majored in science at an American university and relish discussing scientific topics at length. Languages are another passion of mine and I am currently learning Spanish to enjoy my new life in Spain!Ik als leerkracht
I have been teaching for well over a decade now. I was a language instructor in China for ten of the eleven years that I lived there (and an adventure tour leader for one!) and have also been teaching online for over three years now. My students have ranged from kindergarteners all the way up to adult professionals. I lived and worked in Guilin, Chongqing and Jiamusi and have developed a deep understanding of the people and culture of the country, although I enjoy learning about all cultures. After leaving China, I worked in law enforcement for a year and went back to school to pursue a degree in environmental science, but came back to teaching because I missed it!Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I am a fun-loving, but serious teacher that pays a lot of attention to detail. I measure my success as a teacher by the success of my students. I speak clearly and teach my students to speak clearly - heavily focusing on pronunciation and communication skills. We read articles, write short compositions and make presentations for a more targeted approach to learning. You will find me a very sociable person, interested in wide range of subjects that we can discuss. I change my teaching style to adapt to my students needs and find material that relates to their interests or profession. Whatever your needs may be, we can find a way to achieve your goal!Mijn lesmateriaal

Maarten has been helping me improve my Dutch from an absolute beginner level to being able to hold a conversation in Dutch. Due to his adventurous life, he has lots of stories to tell, which can be quite entertaining. He is always punctual and prepared and we never run out of things to talk about.
Surely one of the best teachers on Italki!

Maarten is the best Dutch teacher I've found so far. He is well prepared, always shows up on time, and is enthusiastic about sharing his expertise. Mijn uitspraak is zeker vooruit gegaan na de lessen van Maarten! :)
