Hi,
My name is Karen. I am from Suriname. In 1975, my country became independent from the Netherlands. So, Dutch is my mother tongue.
I love languages. I am proficient in English and I also speak French, Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish and the local Sranan Tongo.
Exploiting new destinations, meeting people and learning about different cultures are my favorite activities. I am also interested in getting to know you!
Me as a Teacher
I studied business management, law and tourism. Since 2007, I have been teaching different subjects to mainly adolescents, adults and professionals. I am pedagogically qualified to develop study materials, to teach and to assess students. If you are interested in learning practical or business Dutch, you are at the right place. I can help you develop your listening and speaking skills in a formal and less formal way. Your pronunciation will improve and you will learn about typical Dutch expressions.
My lessons & teaching style
I invite you to book a trial lesson with me. We become acquainted and discuss your leaning objectives. I asses your current level and ask you a few questions to learn more about your reason for taking language lessons. The information will enable me to create personalized lessons for you.
