Mijn naam is Kiki. Ik ben geboren en getogen in Nederland.
I'm open, social and creative. The most important thing in my life is enjoying it and learning to find the path while being on the road. I look at what kind of opportunities the moment has to offer.
I've always been curious. I like to travel and meet people. However, I didn't make time for that during my studies. Because I'm in my 30ties, I know that life is not forever. I hope to learn a lot about life here and to contribute with my creativity and open mind. I also hope to have nice conversations and to get a different perspective.
Life motto: There is life before death. Never enjoy in moderation.
Me as a Teacher
BEd (Bachelor of education) as a history teacher, experience with teaching Dutch.
On Italki I'm the same cheerful lady as in real life.
I already love that you want to be there, because teaching one-on-one is heaven compared to a room full of uninterested teenagers who are forced by the law to study. Motivation is a big contributor for learning.
The most important thing is that you develop a sense of language through repetition and that you learn to express yourself in Dutch. That you dare to speak.
You will develop through mistakes and trial and error.
* für die Deutschsprachigen. Ich bin bereit, Ihnen Niederländisch in Ihrer eigenen Sprache beizubringen.
My lessons & teaching style
We just have a talk or if you start from scratch I give theme-oriented Dutch lessons with self-designed teaching materials.
It usually starts with introducing yourself in Dutch and exploring expectations.
After this, it can be about different themes such as:
practicing pronunciation using the alphabet, colours, numbers, telling the time, body parts, feelings and emotions, going to the doctor, vehicles and traveling by public transport.
The goal is to make my students enjoy learning. The content focuses on everyday language use. The lessons are focused on conversation, grammar is discussed, but it is definitely not the starting point.

Kiki is one of the most outstanding Dutch language teacher on Italki. She is very knowledgeable, social and a natural conversationalist with whom practicing speaking is rewarding. I have gained much confidence in speaking and listening in Dutch through lessons with her.

Very enjoyable and intellectual conversations with Kiki! Couldn’t ask for more in a ‘gesprekspartner’ and tutor; engaging and challenging topics with interesting anecdotes and useful spreekwoorden to take from the lesson.

Geweldige tutor! Ze is heel geduldig en geeft veel aandacht aan details. Onze lessen zijn altijd interessant en effectief. Dankzij de gesprekken met haar heb ik al veel vooruitgang geboekt in mijn Nederlands. Ik raad haar absoluut aan voor iedereen die de taal wil verbeteren!
