Goedendag, my name is Jens. I’m born in Sint-Niklaas (Belgium) yet I spent most of my life in Dendermonde. I went to the same school for 15 years straight. My life drastically changed when I became 18 years old. I started following my gut feelings and took matters into my own hands. I went all in on my own personal development and later, I started doing the same for other people.

I became a unique personal coach, who accompanies my clients in their journey to a healthy life, independent of healthcare and medicine.

My company focuses on both the mental and physical aspect of our body, which operate as one. I strongly believe languages are part of this journey and unlock lots of doors in every aspect of life!

By sharing my experiences and supporting my clients, I was able to recreate a new and healthy lifestyle over the long term. My purpose is to have the same value to you, by interactively assisting your communication in Dutch, in a present-day use of the language.

I ,myself am not a fan of headlines or promoting why you should choose me as your teacher. My real strength lies in applying my expertise from the past, to your level of communication in Dutch.

Whether you’re looking for an interactive learning method to get fluent or specifically need help for a test, I’ll gladly be your companion. I prefer to not use the word teacher, since my approach is more focused on the manner you would be speaking to a friend in a foreign country.

My lessons are personal and will differ for each student, since you’re unique too. Whether you want to focus on writing, reading, listening or talking —> I gladly adapt my approach, based on your needs.

I would say my strongest part is getting you fluent in Dutch, since this isn’t something that can be learned from language books. You will need to make a lot of mistakes, so you can later understand why you were wrong. We will look into this together and before you realize it, you will create a certain kind of sentiment with the language.

As a modern Stoic myself, I would like to end with the following:

“Neither the past nor the future is in our control, only the present moment & since there’s no end to learning, let’s start today.”

Tot snel!

Jens
