Hi, I'm Nikki, 27 years old and I'm from Amsterdam. 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.
Me as a Teacher
I'm quite relaxed and patient, but I will definitely challenge you enough to make sure your level goes up every class. 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.
The most important thing is that you get a lot of practice with the language, that speaking Dutch becomes comfortable for you and that you show progress instead of shutting down because you're striving for perfection :)
My lessons & teaching style
I tailor my classes to what you personally need. So whether you're advanced or just starting out, anything is possible!
Also the subject is entirely up to you: if you want to focus on grammar, we'll do that. If you want to expand your vocabulary, we'll do that! We can focus on specific topics that apply to your life, because you learn a language in order to communicate about your work, hobbies, interests - and not just to list the 1000 most used words of a language. And of course we'll practice your listening and speaking skills through conversations and exercises.

Het was geweldig! Nicky heeft een document voor me opgesteld op basis van het onderwerp met de nieuwe woorden, culturele zaken en ook idioom

Wonderful lesson and inspiring teacher! Nikki was great! Asked me about my goals and needs and proposed an approach that goes with them. The lesson was super fun as well, and even though I just started learning the language and there’s a long way to go, Nikki managed to make me feel encouraged!

De lessen met Nikki zijn altijd erg leuk. Ze is leuk om mee te praten, maar ze geeft je ook feedback om je vaardigheden te verbeteren. Ze heeft me ook geholpen met het ontwerpen van goede oefeningen specifiek voor mijn behoeften en de fouten die ik maak.

It was a good intro lesson and interesting conversation with Nikki. I liked it and I also improved my Dutch language skills.
