My teaching philosophy
As a language teacher, I see education as a human encounter. Teaching a foreign language is not only about grammar or vocabulary, but about opening doors to new cultures, perspectives, and ways of thinking. My ideal (virtual) classroom is a place of curiosity, dialogue, and personal growth.
Pursuit of purpose
My early passion for languages and cultures led me to study French and Spanish Literature and Linguistics, followed by a Master’s in Multilingual Business Communication. I initially aspired to work in the international corporate world, but after gaining experience in communication and marketing roles — from a start-up in Ghent to the Museum of Fine Arts and the Film Festival of Ghent — I realized I was missing a sense of purpose.

Learning as a teacher
After discovering in Peru my passion for teaching, I realized I still lacked an academic foundation. In 2023, I returned to Belgium to teach French to secondary schoolchildren while pursuing an Educative Master’s Degree at Ghent University. In 2025, I continued developing my teaching practice through the International Teacher Programme at Thomas More.

Growing through meaningful experiences
As a teacher, I combine a flipped classroom approach with digital tools and the Sustainable Development Goals to create flexible, interactive, and meaningful learning experiences. This integration allows me to support students’ linguistic development while fostering autonomy, critical thinking, and engagement with real-world issues.
