My teaching career started unofficially at the age of 9, when I participated in a program where stronger readers from the fourth grade read children's books together with weaker readers from the first grade for an hour a week . I continued working as a tutor during university, and I got my first 'real' teaching job soon after graduating, when I moved to Istanbul in 2009 to teach English as a Second Language. There I met my wife, a fellow language teacher from The Netherlands, and after working for a few years in Southeast Asia we later moved to this country to settle down.

I have seventeen years of experience teaching English as a Second Language. Since moving to The Netherlands nine years ago, I have specialised in teaching General English and Business English to adults working for Dutch and international companies in a wide range of industries.
