About Me
italki teacher since Aug 23, 2024InterestsFilms & TV SeriesPets & AnimalsSports & FitnessFashion & BeautyFood
I am 26 years old and i grew up in Groesbeek, a village next to the border of Germany. Last year I kind of moved abroad and I travel regularly to and from the Netherlands to different countries for an indefinite period because my boyfriend works on a sailing boat. At home i have a dog, Skay, which my parents now take care of and for which i love to travel back to the Netherlands. I like sports and socializing with people. And i love Dutch cheese.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher i am patient and flexible. An agreement is an agreement, so there may be expectations on both sides. I am serious about my work, but a joke can always be had. I give writing assignments, reading and listening assignments and we will talk as much as possible in Dutch because that is how you learn the language the best in my opinion. If you need me outside of classtime, i am always available thru message on ITalki for any question you might have.My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I focus on creating a personalized and supportive learning environment. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I adapt my teaching to meet your specific goals, such as improving conversational fluency, grammar, or writing skills.
I provide material to pass the Dutch exams, such as the integration exam and the state exam NT2.
I believe in a balance of structure and flexibility. My approach is student-centered, using engaging exercises, clear explanations, and regular feedback to make learning effective and enjoyable. Next to that i provide after every lesson homework assignments, if wanted by the student.My teaching material

This was my third lesson and each one so far has been so encouraging! Mariska is an excellent teacher who helps get you out of your comfort zone and reach your full potential! Dutch is a challenging language to learn, but she makes the process both attainable and enjoyable :)
