Hi, I'm Nikki, 29 years old and I'm from Amsterdam. After years of traveling and working in places all over the world, I'm still a typical 'Kaaskop' and traveling has actually made me more enthusiastic about teaching people more about the Dutch language and culture.
I speak Dutch, English and Spanish and am studying German, Italian and Arabic - so I know how hard it is to learn a new language and can be of great help.
I have a lot of interests and experience many different things through my work as a traveling photographer and filmmaker, so don't worry we don't have anything to talk about.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I'm quite relaxed and patient, but I will definitely challenge you enough to make sure your level goes up every class. I do think however, that it's okay to make plenty of mistakes since this is a big part of learning a new language and also from what you learn the most. So during our conversations or an exercise I will mainly let you go ahead and discuss some corrections later, instead of constantly interrupting you.
The most important thing is that you get a lot of practice with the language, that speaking Dutch becomes comfortable for you and that you show progress instead of shutting down because you're striving for perfection :)
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I tailor my classes to what you personally need. So whether you're advanced or just starting out, anything is possible!
Also the subject is entirely up to you: if you want to focus on grammar, we'll do that. If you want to expand your vocabulary, we'll do that! We can focus on specific topics that apply to your life, because you learn a language in order to communicate about your work, hobbies, interests - and not just to list the 1000 most used words of a language.
As a digital nomad I know what it's like to settle in new countries so if you're planning to move to the Netherlands / already live there and want to integrate more, I’m your girl!
Nikki wrecks my head, in the best way possible! After a lesson with her, I need a good cup of tea and a few deep breaths because I can't wait to get stuck into the ideas and concepts that we've covered. Een echte aanrader!

Nikki is a fantastic teacher and I recommend her without reservation. Her energy is infectious and our time flew by with never a dull moment. Our lessons were tremendously fun, with Nikki encouraging the conversations with topics, questions, and stories. Her teaching is clear, supportive, and instructive.
My time with Nikki accelerated my learning and I am so grateful.
Thank you, Nikki!

Nikki is super! She’s not only a good teacher (explains with different words, is patient while you think about building your sentence, notes new vocabulary for you) but also engaging and overall fun to talk to

Nikki is amazing!
Highly recommend her for anyone who is trying to become more confident in speaking.
Very chilled environment and she is very observant of trends of mistakes to instantly correct them and note it down.
