Our Team

We believe that the only way to be creative and feel happy is personal and professional development

We are Language and Motivation

We created Language and Motivation because we believe that everyone deserves personal and professional development. The fact that we teach foreign languages quickly and effectively it’s the result of our experience and the method we use, as well as our conviction that we must pursue our dreams, like living abroad and working in the field that really interests us. We love what we do and combine our strengths to help our students learn a language with minimal effort!

In 2016, we were trained and inspired by professor Olivier Delhaye, who is the primary source of all this scientific knowledge. Since 2018 we have established our presence in the Netherlands, Greece and Belgium and the team of teachers is still growing.

Education Coordinator and teacher of French and English

Continuing education for professional competence or just for self-fulfillment is everyone's right. It is not that educational opportunities have been lacking but people craving for lifelong education need to overcome limitations. Stella has seen people quit working on their goal of learning a new language because of the time-consuming and arduous traditional teaching methods.

With the F.A.S.T. method I help everyone discover or rediscover the motivation they need to reach their potential.

Frans was a teacher at a secondary school for 40 years and as a counselor he enjoyed the conversation with students about their choice of a study at the university or at a school of higher professional education. Nowadays he likes this modern practical method of learning that enables students to make more progress than it would be possible in a traditional school system.

She goes by the moto 'Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.'

'The F.A.S.T. method gives you the key to connect to the language in a way that is very natural, which makes me even more enthusiastic to work together to achieve your desired level in Dutch.'

Teacher of German

Julia considers herself lucky to have grown up in different countries. Learning languages and experiencing different cultures influenced her decision to work with languages professionally. She holds a Master's degree in Translation and has been working as a translator and language tutor for many years. In her experience, knowing the language allows you to get to know other cultures on a different level and helps you to feel at home.

The best part of knowing another language is being able to connect with other people and cultures. The F.A.S.T. method helps you achieve this through its active approach.
