I teach using the trusted Contact and Delftse Methode lesson books — all provided digitally to my students, free of charge.

Makela is a great teacher with a great vocation. I have started learning Dutch from scratch and I feel that with Makela I have advanced and I have managed to learn and understand the language in a very didactic way and with very good material. Makela makes sure that you can understand and clarify all your questions , without a doubt she has a lot of patience. I would personally recommend her classes 100%.

The lesson from Makela is very helpful all the time. She customizes every single lessen for my needs. In that way I could learn much without losing interest or motivation and boost my Dutch to higher level. If you have A2 or B1 level in Dutch and want to jump to next level, she can be the great help. I highly recommend her.

I had the pleasure of learning Dutch with Makela from the beginner level, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Her teaching style is both engaging and patient, making even the most challenging steps easy to grasp. She tailors lessons to individual needs, ensuring that I not only understood the language but also felt confident using it in real-life situations. Her passion for teaching and deep knowledge of Dutch culture brought the language to life. I highly recommend Makela to anyone looking to learn Dutch efficiently and enjoyably!
