Hi! I am Ellen! Thank you for reading my page!
I am 26 years old and I am from the Netherlands! I love meeting new people and immersing myself in new cultures, hence why I have lived in Italy for 3 years! I studied History (BA) at Utrecht University in the Netherlands and Global Cultures (MA/LM) at Bologna University in Italy. Besides learning languages, I am interested in history and media! So I can keep you up to date with all the old and recent developments in Dutch culture! Currently I am studying Italian, so I know exactly what you're going through while learning Dutch.Me as a Teacher
I would describe myself as patient, empathic and curious. I create a safe environment in which you'll feel encouraged and confident to practice your language skills. I have professional experience as an English and Dutch language teacher, teaching levels ranging from absolute beginner to fluent speakers. So whatever your level, I am able to tailor my lessons to your needs; also if you have no previous experience in Dutch.My lessons & teaching style
We will first get to know each other: what are your interests, what do you want to achieve, and how can I support you in that? Depending on your level, I can teach in both Dutch and English (and Italian when you're a beginner level Dutch speaker). We will make notes on everything you have learned in the lesson, so you can revise if you want to. I mainly focus on conversation, as I think it is the most profitable way of learning a language and I can assess your level. Based on what comes up in these conversations we will work on grammar and vocabulary, exploiting all types of materials, ranging from news articles, videos, or your own input.My teaching material

Vandaag heb ik weer een online Nederlandse les gevolgd bij Ellen, en het was fantastisch! Dit was mijn vierde les bij haar, en ik ben elke keer weer onder de indruk van haar professionele en vriendelijke aanpak. Ellen begeleidt me op een hele duidelijke en motiverende manier, waardoor ik met veel plezier aan de lessen deelneem. Haar uitleg is altijd helder en gestructureerd, en ze zorgt ervoor dat ik me op mijn gemak voel om vragen te stellen. De lessen zijn niet alleen leerzaam, maar ook heel leuk en inspirerend. Ellen, ontzettend bedankt voor je geduld en fijne begeleiding. Ik kijk nu al uit naar de volgende les!

Het was erg nuttig voor mij. Ik had de kans om over mezelf te vertellen en ook te luisteren naar hoe de docent, een native speaker, over zichzelf kan praten. Ze biedt interactieve gesperekken aan, niet alleen eenzijdige gesprekken, en dat was precies wat ik wilde.
