Dedicated Dutch language teacher specializing in inclusive education and student well-being.
NetherlandsWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate Dutch language teacher with broad experience across secondary and vocational education, focused on inclusive classrooms and supporting students with autism, dyslexia, and diverse learning needs.
My recent roles include teaching Dutch and career-orientation (LOB) at ROC van Amsterdam and earlier work as a Dutch and German teacher at Tobiasstroom, where I prepared students from grade 7 through exam year and supported their mental well-being and study skills.
I hold a part-time Bachelor's in Dutch Language Teaching (expected 2026) and trained in Waldorf/Vrijeschool methods, complemented by extensive internships and freelance creative teaching experience that reinforce my student-centered, creative approach.
