Hoi! I’m Zita, a native Dutch speaker from Leiden, now sharing my language and culture from Brazil. Whether you’re starting from zero or polishing fluency, I specialize in making Dutch accessible—with a cultural twist!
With a background in Cultural Anthropology/Development Sociology and 7+ years teaching English in Brazil (while trying to get a grip on the Portuguese language myself), I understand language-learning challenges intimately. My Dutch lessons blend structure and fun, with a strong focus on practising your speaking skills.
When not teaching, I’m hiking, swimming, or exploring new cultures. Let’s turn "Ik spreek geen Nederlands" into confident conversations ;-)
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
Having studied English, Spanish, and Portuguese, I know how challenging learning a new language can be. That’s why I focus on creating a relaxed, supportive space where you feel free to make mistakes—an essential part of learning.
Everyone learns in their own way, so I do my best to adapt lessons to what works for you. It’s really rewarding to see students build confidence and improve, and I’m here to help you along the way.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Basic-Dutch Lessons: for beginners that really start from scratch! I teach you day-to-day basic conversation, grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation in a clear and interactive way, to get you understanding and speaking Dutch from class 1 on. The course is very visual and focussed on speaking. It will take you from A0 to A1 level.
Conversation Practise: for students that already speak some Dutch (A2/B1 to C2). We can have an informal conversation about any topic, or I'll send you material (article/video) that you prepare beforehand and tell me about during the lesson. Or a combi of both! Meanwhile I'll correct your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.
I hope to see you in the trial lesson!
Zita is een fantastische lerares! De lessen zijn leuk en interessant. Zij legt alles goed uit en helpt met grammatica en uitspraak. Ik voel me steeds beter in het Nederlands. Zij is ook geduldig en vriendelijk. Ik raad Zita zeker aan!

Thank you Zita. After this two-weeks intensive course I feel much more confident speaking Dutch and I feel I have learned a lot! I couldn't have done that without your patience, corrections and encouragement! :)

I really enjoy classes with Zita, she’s super friendly and encouraging and really helpful with examples and finding explanations for any questions you have. I always leave a class feeling uplifted and confident, and excited to learn more!

Zita does an amazing job with her lessons and taught me many words I wouldn’t have known studying on my own. Overall a great experience and I hope to continue taking lessons with her!
