Hoi!
My name is Chris, a Dutch native. I'm 33 years old and I'm teaching Dutch (adults) on this platform.
I see myself as a funny and positive person. I care about making people around me feel comfortable and am very patient. Having these skills made me decide in early 2018 to switch careers and to become a teacher.
I am currently living in Mexico and have lived, besides the Netherlands, in Spain and Vietnam before.
Check out my video if you want to know more about me :D

Ik als leerkracht
I've been teaching for more than 7 years now and believe that making my students feel comfortable, is one of my strengths.
I like to make some random jokes in my classes to keep the topic interesting and really analyze how you, the student, can improve. I write down notes and am always well prepared so we can be as effective as possible.
I see myself as an all-round teacher, but my focus is usually on fluency, accuracy and speaking techniques (making you sound more natural). Of course I also try to help you to learn new vocabulary (words) and idioms and can help you with any other skill or topic. Just tell me what you want to improve and I'll help you!Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
In general I try to ask you a lot of interesting questions and make it fun as well. I make my own study materials which we can use in the class as well.
You can choose for a communication class. In this class, we can simply talk or discuss a certain topic. I will write down notes and provide you with extra information about the topics we discuss.
My normal steps are these:
1. Intro - small talk
2. Recap of previous class - repeating is knowing :D
3. Controlled practice grammar or vocabulary.
4. Topic -> more free-talk to see if you can combine all learned information.
I will make sure to write down notes and leave you detailed feedback after the class!Mijn lesmateriaal

Werkervaring
2018 - 2019
English teacherI worked at this language school as an English teacher, teaching children from 5 years old to adults. I’ve been teaching mostly communication classes, but also created and taught science and math classes. I’ve learned a lot during this period, such as: improving my class management skills, learning how to keep classes interesting, learning to interact with different kind of students, creating lesson plans, creating syllabuses for classes and helping with events.
2018 - 2018

2019 - 2020
Head English teacherI continued my teaching career at Hello English. This center taught me to be more professional and to become more all-round as a teacher. I gained experience in teaching big classes at a university, a high school and at the language center itself.
I also helped out by guiding TEFL students and giving speeches at junior high schools.
2020 - 2021
