Hi! My name is Cheyenna, and I’m a native Dutch speaker with a big passion for languages and cultural exchange. I’ve lived in the United States, Australia, and Korea, which has allowed me to experience life in very different parts of the world.
I speak English fluently and I’m currently studying Korean, so I understand firsthand how exciting — and sometimes challenging — learning a new language can be.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, studying Korean, going for long walks, and listening to music. Most of all, I love connecting with people from around the world and hearing their stories. Teaching gives me the opportunity to bring these passions together.
Me as a Teacher
As a language learner myself, I know how intimidating it can feel to speak a foreign language. That’s why I create a warm, relaxed, and supportive learning environment where you can practise confidently and make mistakes without pressure.
I genuinely enjoy getting to know my students and tailoring lessons to their personalities, interests, and goals. Whether you prefer structured lessons with clear explanations or casual conversations to help you speak more naturally, I adapt my teaching style to what works best for you.
My goal is to help you grow step by step, build real confidence, and enjoy the process of learning Dutch along the way.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are designed to help you speak Dutch with confidence — whether through natural conversation or through structured lessons focused on grammar, vocabulary, and practical usage.
For conversational lessons, we talk about everyday topics, use prompts, articles, pictures, or personal interests, and I offer gentle corrections to help you sound more natural.
For structured lessons, I guide you step by step through useful grammar, sentence patterns, pronunciation, and real-life expressions. Each lesson is personalised and adapted to your level and goals.
Above all, I aim to create a relaxed and encouraging environment where you can enjoy every step of your language journey.

I’m currently taking Dutch lessons with Cheyenna, and she is a very good teacher. As a beginner, I already know many words, and she helps me use them in a correct and natural way. She is a kind and supportive tutor, and after every lesson she provides me with notes so I can review and study afterwards. Dank je wel :)

I had a wonderful conversation practice with Cheyenna. She was interactive and fun to talk to. We were able to chat about a few subjects and she corrected me and was patient with me when I struggled. Tot de volgende keer!

Thank you Cheyenna for a very pleasant trial leeson. Excellent clear pronunciation and very patient. Although I was quite nervous and struggling at times, Cheyenna was patient and extremely supportive. Highly recommended.

Cheyenna was super nice and well-prepared. There was a technical issue with the italki classroom, but she immediately sent a link for Zoom and we could continue the trial lesson. I am an intermediate learner in Dutch, and I loved that she just kept talking quickly with me instead of falling into a slow teacher voice, even though I was missing some words to speak fluently.
