After years of traveling and working in places all over the world, I'm still a typical 'Kaaskop' and traveling has actually made me more enthusiastic about teaching people more about the Dutch language and culture. I speak Dutch, English and Spanish and am studying German, Italian and Arabic - so I know how hard it is to learn a new language and can be of great help. I have a lot of interests and experience many different things through my work as a traveling photographer and filmmaker, so don't worry we don't have anything to talk about.

I do think however, that it's okay to make plenty of mistakes since this is a big part of learning a new language and also from what you learn the most. So during our conversations or an exercise I will mainly let you go ahead and discuss some corrections later, instead of constantly interrupting you.

Nikki wrecks my head, in the best way possible! After a lesson with her, I need a good cup of tea and a few deep breaths because I can't wait to get stuck into the ideas and concepts that we've covered. Een echte aanrader!

Nikki is a fantastic teacher and I recommend her without reservation. Her energy is infectious and our time flew by with never a dull moment. Our lessons were tremendously fun, with Nikki encouraging the conversations with topics, questions, and stories. Her teaching is clear, supportive, and instructive. My time with Nikki accelerated my learning and I am so grateful. Thank you, Nikki!

Nikki is super! She’s not only a good teacher (explains with different words, is patient while you think about building your sentence, notes new vocabulary for you) but also engaging and overall fun to talk to
