Hi guys! My name is Martijn and I teach Dutch at Language Corner. I am originally from The Netherlands, but also grew up in New-Zealand for a while when I was young. Still, Amsterdam is my favourite city and I have been living here for quite some years now. 

I have a degree in law but soon found out that I get a lot more energy from working with people and teaching things they can use in everyday life. 

I love surfing and traveling around the world to meet new people from other cultures. During my travels I noticed that it’s really so much more fun when you can communicate with the people around you. I started taking Spanish classes rapidly when I was in Central America and soon found out that I wanted to start teaching professionally myself. I have been doing this now with great pleasure ever since! 

Learning a new language can be challenging but also a lot of fun! I know this from my own experiences and therefore like to create interactive classes that contain lots of energy and pleasure for everyone. 

Hope to see you soon!
