Hi! I am Maaike, a Dutch teacher and a primary school teacher. My passion is teaching the Dutch language to children, but also other languages like English and Spanish.

I have more than 12 years of experience as a teacher, in the Netherlands and abroad, to young and old!

In the Netherlands I have experience in each grade, so I know exactly how the Dutch language is given in primary education. This can certainly help children, but also adults who want to learn the Dutch language in a correct way, having a good basic knowledge is the most important part of learning a new language.
I lived in Spain for 3 years where I taught English to Spanish children and adults. During that period I also followed an intensive language course to learn the Spanish language. Currently I am learning Nepali through Skype. I know what it is like to learn a new language, what it involves and how the learning process works and how I can help you through an online platform! :)

I will first discuss with you what you would like to achieve by following the language lessons and what your needs are. Maybe it's just speaking skills, or grammar or listening skills, or a combination. In addition, I want to use my creativity to apply methods that work best for you, personalized language classes. :)
My goal is to give you the feeling after each class that you've come one step closer to your personal goal!

Feel free to request a trial class, so we can see what I can do for you and if my way of teaching suits you. See you soon! :)
