I have over 30 years of experience in the international language teaching industry. Born and raised in the Netherlands, I have lived and worked in the UK, Germany, and Spain since 1994. Over the years, I have taken on many roles in language schools, including marketing manager, school owner, course developer, and for the past 8 years, language coach, international researcher, dyslexia expert, and teacher trainer.
As a dyslexic individual and a fluent speaker of three languages, I have developed a dyslexia-friendly language teaching and coaching strategy. This approach has already significantly improved the learning outcomes of over 150 dyslexic language learners in Spain and Latin America.
I am also proud to be a founding and board member of the European Dyslexia Group and a board member of the International Language Coaching Association.
