It's a pleasure to meet you!
My name is Robert van der Werf and I have a passion for the English language.
As a bilingual teacher with native proficiency in both English and Dutch, I know how difficult it can be to learn English as a second or third language.
Throughout my career in Europe and Asia, I have worked with many non-native speakers, which has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the specific challenges that students face when learning the English language.
As a CertTESOL teacher, I adapt my lessons to meet the personal needs of individual students. To facilitate this, I utilise my unique collection of resources that cover a wide variety of topics to engage learners.
It is my goal to empower you with the skills you need to excel in your academic career!
Discover the benefits for your learning journey :
As a bilingual English language teacher (NET), I can help improve your English speaking and writing skills by showing you how native English speakers use their language.
Having a CertTESOL qualification from Trinity College London, I can analyse your language needs and offer tailored lessons to effectively improve your English skills.
With an Executive MBA from Erasmus University Rotterdam, and the experience gained from working in management and consultancy positions across Europe and Asia, I offer valuable insights and guidance on effectively using English in various business contexts.
If you are interested in learning the English language while making STEM projects using micro:bit and Arduino, my background as an Electrical Engineer will help you with the specific vocabulary you need.
As a polyglot with upper-intermediate proficiency in German and French, I have encountered the same difficulties that students experience during their study of the English language. That's why my lessons are helpful and effective.
Are you from China, Indonesia, or a Spanish speaking country? Then it is good to know that I have elementary language skills in Spanish, Putonghua, and Bahasa Indonesia to help you get started with your English lessons.
FUN FACT:
Pieter Adriaansz. van der Werf (!) was the Mayor of the City of Leiden between 1573 and 1604. In gratitude for his heroic reign during the siege of the city by the Spanish army, Prince William of Orange bestowed the University of Leiden on the city in 1575, making it the first university in the Northern Netherlands.
