About Me
Since 2013 Tom has been teaching Dutch language around the globe. He thinks it's a privilege to work with 3rd culture kids and their endless learning possibilities. His classes can be described as learning driven, positive, safe and open. This certainly helps his students with learning how to express themselves in Dutch language in their own way.
