Experience

I work as a freelance English tutor in Amsterdam: my current clients are mostly adult professionals in business and finance, focusing on building vocabuIary and speaking confidence, and accent reduction. I have also taught several younger students (ages 6-12) beginning piano; and taught the basics of Italic handwriting in private lessons. In addition, I have coached and given masterclasses in harpsichord and performance practice. I enjoy teaching - it is a way of communicating the immense excitement and enthusiasm I have for interesting topics. There are few greater pleasures than one has inspired a new interest, or helped someone who shares your interest.

Hobbies

I play several instruments (principally harpsichord), and draw and paint; I have a passion for botany and nature. Creating physical things and revelling in ancient poetry both bring me joy. More practically, my own schooling was partly in public schools, and partly homeschooled, so I understand the necessity of the teacher to adjust to the student's needs.
