Online teacher Wendy Damen introduces herself

Teacher Wendy would like to introduce herself to you:

Hi, my name is Wendy Damen. I have been working at Dutch for Children for quite some time now. In 2018 I moved with my husband and 2 daughters to Seattle, America. Before that I worked in primary education in the Netherlands for 18 years. We moved back to the Netherlands in 2022.

What fun I have teaching online. I think the best part of teaching is the bond you build with your students, the great conversations you have and not to forget the knowledge you can pass on. I can use my own creativity in the lessons that I customize and give. I give the lessons with a lot of passion and enthusiasm and I see this reflected in the students who come with great pleasure to the Dutch lessons.

This fits in very well with giving tailor-made lessons as we do at Dutch for Children.

The courses I have followed are:

• Elementary school teacher (pabo)
• Training language specialist
• All kinds of courses such as: Orientation basic development, beginning literacy, Coaching teachers and pupils and Open Book: reading coordinator.

My work experience:

• Teacher group 1 to 8.
• Language and reading coordinator group 1 to 8.
• Group 3 – teacher at NTC Orange School in Seattle.
