Summary

Bilingual Dutch–English language specialist with a lifelong connection to both the UK and the Netherlands. Raised and educated in Driebergen before returning to London for further study, I speak both languages with native fluency and cultural precision.

Founder of The Dutch Speakeasy, I design and deliver adult-focused Dutch language programmes with a strong emphasis on visual grammar systems and proficiency exam preparation. My background in professional performance and translation enables me to communicate complex ideas with clarity, confidence, and cultural nuance.
