About Me
italki teacher since Apr 4, 2023
Interest topicFoodMusicFilms & TV Series
Born in Delft and now teaching for over 35 years as a qualified teacher in different languages: Dutch, French and German. Also studied Italian and some basic Arab. In the 90’s we lived abroad: in this way I realize how someone could experience the first year in another country.
It is a real privilege and pleasure meeting so many kind and interesting people from very different cultures: geo-physicians, north pole captains, mathematicians, managers, tenure trackers at the technical university, strategicians, controllers, translators-interpreters, ..
Besides, in my former life I was sommelier and gave many workshops about wine (combined with food). This might be an interesting theme!

Me as a Teacher
My credo is; plaire and instruire: this French ideal of the 17th century means offering structure and feeling good! Or the other way around!
As a teacher one should be a teacher, a coach, a helper, an instructor, a psychologue, a native speaker (for the advanced level), a polyglot, a friend, a comedian, a reader.... what did i forget? :)
My lessons & teaching style
I will observe the student and adapt the program to his or her needs and wishes
Depending on the level you desire, we will work with different material. If you like to obtain the A2-level, I like to start with a book, first you will learn the basic grammar and vocabulary. This applies also for B1- level (the new inburgering / integration level since 2022). For an advanced level we can work with actualities, articles from newspapers or small films etc ..
If you like to get your 'inburgering' (integration diplom) I will train this with multiple exams.

Ik had niet verwacht dat Nederlandse lessen zo leuk konden zijn! Ik ben erg blij met onze lessen en ik merk al verbetering in mijn vaardigheden en zelfvertrouwen na slechts 2 lessen. Heel erg bedankt Lotty!

I can't imagine a better teacher than Lotty. I have truly felt that she is just as invested in my learning goals as I am. She is very knowledgeable and experienced, while also being wonderfully personable and genuinely encouraging. Especially for anyone dedicated to mastering the language for professional or integration purposes, you will learn the best and enjoy the most from working with this gifted teacher!

It is always a pleasure to have a lesson with Lotty! As a teacher, she is friendly, relaxed and very easy to talk to - which is great because then I am free to make plenty of mistakes!
She focuses on my specific language learning goals (speaking), corrects where necessary and is always positive and encouraging. This gives me a real boost to not give up. Our lessons are ordered and methodical but it is no problem to touch again on things I need a reminder on. Therefore the lessons feel very tailored and suited to my needs.
I have made some real progress in the last few months, thank you so much 😊 I highly recommend!

I am very happy to have found Lotty to help me prepare for my C1 Dutch exam, especially the oral part. I have been living in Belgium for 14 years now and my knowledge of Dutch is quite good, but I make systematic mistakes. Lotty helps me to detect the mistakes and correct them. We go over specific grammar that is not 100% clear to me, and we do speaking exercises. What I like about Lotty is that she has a lot of knowledge and experience and adapts very well to my specific needs. She goes out of her way to help me, and she is also very friendly.
