Hello, my name is Marijke Smit . I'm a native Dutch and live in Uganda. I'm a teacher at iTalky and work as a content writer on the side. I love singing, playing my guitar and taking my dog for a walk. Working from home is a joy and makes me very flexible in my work schedule. I'm looking forward to meeting you!Me as a Teacher
(I only teach female students) As a copy writer I have excellent knowledge of Dutch spelling and grammar and would love to teach you the ins and outs of this beautiful, but sometimes complicated language.
I'm very patient and find it important that you feel completely free to ask any question and make mistakes. In that way you will not only learn fast, but you will also have fun in the process. My goal is to make you look forward to every next study session! My lessons & teaching style
I love teaching and I'm looking forward to work with you. I find it important to spent some time on grammar each lesson. This will help you to make your own sentences , so that it will become easier to have a good conversation in Dutch. The more fun learning is, the easier it becomes. Therefore each lesson we will make time for exercises that you love to do.
Lessons become really fun when you have the feeling that you really learned something after each session. That will be our aim!
Depending on your Dutch skills we will spend time on:
- grammar
- pronunciation
- vocabulary
We will also have practice conversations together, so that you can put your skills to use.My teaching material
