Nadia Crickx | Office Assistant
Learning a language is just like travelling, broadening your view of the world. And just as Nelson Mandela so beautifully put it into words: « If you speak to someone in a language he understands, you reach his head. If you speak to someone in his own language, you reach his heart. »
I help in the performance of everyday tasks at Ruysschaert, such as the monitoring of registrations. I make sure that each registration runs smoothly from start to finish.

I've been putting heart and soul into Ruysschaert. The management says that I'm a real teambuilder and that's exactly what I like, giving impassioned teachers that extra little push to help them grow. Every course is an adventure full of challenges, and that's what I enjoy.

Maarten Huvaere | Coordinator English Courses
As a coordinator at Ruysschaert I put an incredible amount of energy into providing young people with close support, teaching them and witnessing their growth and I, in turn learn from that process. I'm glad to be able to be a part of a professional organisation that stimulates people to give the best of themselves and offers them chances to blossom and to push their own boundaries. As a lover of languages I am convinced that language and literature allow us to better understand other people and to value them even more.
My interests: reading, fine conversation, good food, festivals, the sea, an excursion with friends,...
Charlotte Haeck | Coordinator English Courses
Working as a coordinator at Ruysschaert gives me fulfilment at so many different levels and continues to influence me in a positive way every time. It gives me the chance to accompany other teachers in their quest for inspired and purposeful teaching and to enthuse young people for language in all its facets. Language is my first love and to be able to share it with so many other people, with the focus on quality is what Ruysschaert means to me.
My interests: In my everyday life I'm a language teacher, event planner, flower arranger and music lover.
Annelies De Ruyck | Coordinator English and German courses
The thing that drives me is helping young people to make progress, both at a personal level and in their language knowledge. The perfect balance that I find at Ruysschaert. I'm a coordinator for the English and German courses where it gives me great pleasure to coach a fine team of teachers, accompany pupils and to ensure efficient management of activities.
My interests: music, dance, running, reading, languages, good food, family and friends
Glynn Dierick | Coordinator English and Dutch Courses
“The frontiers of my language are the frontiers of my world”. In my task as teacher and coach, I want to help push these boundaries, in a warm and open learning environment; to challenge pupils and teachers, so that something that at first seemed impossible, suddenly becomes a success. Again and again, I'm proud when a course participant is subsequently astounded by his own abilities. That's what gives me energy.
My interests: travelling, literature, history, cooking and fine food
Joachim Peeters | Coordinator Dutch Courses
Being at Ruysschaert is like coming home. The cordiality, that warm feeling, an emphasis on strong support and a focus on human values ensure that you can and may grow both as a person and professionally. As a coordinator I link the vision of the organisation with the courses at each location. I, along with the team, make sure that every course participant feels at home and in this way dares to speak another language, dares to learn. As a didactic coach I help teachers to discover new learning methods so that they too, as teachers, can grow.
My interests: musicals, politics, city trips, family, well-being.
Randy Van Lierde | Coordinator French, German and Dutch courses
Ruysschaert for me is: witnessing a pupil with a vocabulary of oui et non or ja und nein grow into a young adult capable of using a foreign language as a fully-fledged means of communication. At Ruysschaert I'm responsible for coordinating French, German and Dutch courses. At every course I try to get young people to soak up a language by immersion in an agreeable and stimulating manner.
My interests: sport, travelling and getting to know the local language, (German and French) literature.
Maxime Holst | Coordinator French and Dutch Courses
As a language teacher, I find it important that the young people be exposed to a foreign language by total immersion when they want to learn one. At Ruysschaert, we not only offer lessons, but the extra activities and the active involvement of all the Ruysschaert staff also help the pupils and teachers to remain motivated a whole week long and to give the best of themselves.
My interests: MotoGP, photography, literature, technology, music.
