Hi, welcome to my profile! My name is Linda, native Dutch speaker, and I have been a Community Teacher on Italki for ~4 years. I love languages (I speak some in the video, and am also learning -very slowly- Italian) and sharing my love for languages with other people. I have tutored students to help them improve their Dutch, English and/or German.
Education: - BA Modern languages with English and German
- MA Applied linguistics
Work experience: Dutch tutor, online , 2020-present
Being a student myself, and I aim to always be one, I know how difficult it can be to communicate in a different language and keep the motivation up. My lessons will strike a balance of fun and educational, focusing on what my student can take home from the lesson. I think, as a teacher, one of the most important skills is to listen to the student's needs and plan the lesson accordingly. Most important of all, to enjoy the learning process.
My lessons and style will depend on the level of the student and purpose of studying the Dutch language. Conversation is a key element, alongside practice in listening, speaking, writing and the optional grammar. In the first lesson, we will talk about language goals and establish what would be the best plan of action from there. I prefer to speak only Dutch to my students, because I believe it is more effective and challenging in a positive way.

I’ve had a great experience learning Dutch with Linda. She is an incredibly patient teacher who takes the time to explain things clearly and make sure I fully understand each topic. Our lessons are always engaging, and we consistently have interesting topics to discuss, which makes learning both enjoyable and effective. I always look forward to our sessions.
I strongly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a supportive and skilled Dutch teacher.
