Leon V.

Hi! My name is Leon, and I have studied and lived in several countries.

I offer interactive lessons tailored to individual learning needs, with an emphasis on building speaking confidence and reducing the fear of making mistakes.

I have 30 years of experience teaching other languages, such as Dutch. I use a modern, natural method—a “dynamic usage-based” approach: clear explanations with lots of exercises at your level, so you quickly gain confidence. We read together about everyday topics, check your understanding, and do many exercises together. You will start speaking quickly at your own level; I correct you when it’s helpful, and then I let you talk about things that interest you.

I’ll always give you plenty of homework so you can practise independently at home and make steady progress.

Let's book a lesson so I can see what you need and you can see my way of teaching a language.
