Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 25. Apr 2018
Hello, I was born in Belgium where I finished my studies in Anthropology and Business Administration. But travelling was always my passion, so after graduation I started working all over the world. Because I could speak several languages, I found work as a teacher, translator, customer support agent and tour guide in more than 40 different countries, Most of them located in Asia, Latin America and Africa.
in 2014, I fell in love with a wonderful woman from Mexico. She made me decide to stop travelling all the time and to settle down with her in Mexico.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Until he start of the COVID 19 crisis, I was teaching both online and in a language institute in Mexico where we take our students from beginner level to proficiency. But since the start of the crisis, I have been teaching online fulltime. I´ve always loved meeting people and talking to people so when I stopped travelling and settled down here in Mexico, working as teacher was a logical step. I really enjoy seeing my students develop and improve.
I´ve taught people between the ages of 14 and 70. My students tell me they like my classes because I am patient, have a sense of humor and because I make them feel comfortable in speaking the language that we are learning.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I adjust my classes so that they are suitable for that specific student. If you are preparing for the NT2 exam or het inburgeringsexamen, than my class will be different than for someone who wants to learn Dutch for business purposes or for someone who want to learn Dutch in order to adapt more easily and have more fun during their stay in Belgium or Holland.
I focus on all aspects of the language. reading, writing, listening and speaking. For most students I focus most on the speaking part. I like my students to speak a lot during my classes. This is the only way to overcome the shyness people usually feel when talking in a new language.
I have been progressing a lot thanks to the friendliness and professionalism of Erik. He creates a nice and relaxing atmosphere for students so I always feel comfortable and happy to learn and keep on learning.

Auswahl der Lehrkraft
After two and a half months learning with Erik, I have noticed a big difference in my level. I started knowing little and now I am able to carry on a conversation. He knows how to explain very well, he cares about your learning and he is very professional. If you are looking for a good Dutch teacher, you have found him.
