I’m Laura. As a translator and private language teacher, I help you to turn your language struggles into a chance to shine.

The more specific your request, the better I can help you. But don’t hesitate to contact me with vague wishes either. I’m happy to chat about the perfect solution for your unique situation!

Struggling to find the right words when talking to colleagues?

Spruce up your Dutch and chatter away about your weekend, the quality of the coffee or, in a more serious manner, your secondary working conditions!

  • Learn Dutch at your own pace

  • Boost your confidence with a variety of tips and tricks

  • Decide which skills you want to focus on

Hi! I’m Laura, a busy bee that loves to improve the language skills of people and businesses.

At my core, I’m a certified English <> Dutch translator solving the riddle that is created by bureaucracy and endless processes. I guide you through the process as best I can and with one priority: getting you the right documents and stamps as smoothly as possible.

Call it what you want, but I’m a firm believer that variety is the spice of life. ✨

So I also help a wide range of people to improve their English or Dutch. Yes, these days you can have everything translated in English or Dutch automatically. But wouldn’t it be great if you could actually call your clients, suppliers or colleagues and talk to them directly? Get in touch to boost your (Business) English or Dutch skills!

I love finding new ways to put my listening and language skills to good use, so reach out if you could use some help. Making you shine is my main priority!

APIARY

/ˈeɪ.pi.ə.ri/

A place where people keep bees

What’s with all the bees and why The Apiary?

Well, there’s not just one reason:

  • Bees are the backbone of our ecosystem.

  • I’ve always been fascinated by insects and the smallest of creatures.

  • Gardening is one of my very favourite hobbies, not in the least because of the joy of walking through a garden thrumming with humming.

  • Everyone needs an unrealistic dream. Mine is to one day have an apiary. A luscious garden teeming with tiny golden creatures and a multitude of flowers, herbs and vegetables.
