Experience Summary
I was a teacher of English for 30 years at three high schools in The Netherlands, my last job being a teacher/tutor at "Bisschopelijk College" (Episcopal College)in Weert Holland from 1980 to September 2005. I then emigrated to Texas and married an American in 2006. I taught students ranging between the age of 11 and 19 years of age. I was also involved in adult education for about 10 years in my hometown Venlo. Apart from these positions I was a private tutor for several students in my hometown.
Teaching Style
I loved an love teaching children. It is a profession that is rewarding, especially when you book results and success with kids that are not so gifted or have a learning disability. I am a patient teacher / listener for your child and I will not rest until I find a way to to solve a problem that your child may have regarding learning difficulties. I will see to it that your child feels comfortable with me while being taught as this is of paramount importance next to being patient. I make sure that your child understands and knows how to solve a problem and will often apply the 'trial & error method.
