Raquel

I’m finding the grammar reviews with Raquel very useful. Besides the obvious opportunity to identify mistakes and improve my Dutch grammar, they give me opportunities to talk naturally without using prepared notes as a “crutch” to lean on and force me to think on my feet. I’m still making mistakes but with further practice, I will keep improving.

I have recently gotten my first Dutch job. This would not have been possible if it had not been for my lessons with Raquel. She has really been invaluable in helping me progress with the language and increase my confidence. Thank you so much! 😊

After finishing the previous topic, Raquel introduced an article about the benefits (and downsides) of olive oil, which I began to read. I enjoy the variety of the topics that Raquel brings to lessons, which keeps me engaged and in a positive mood to learn.

We have had to go back to the basics because I have so much going on in my life and Raquel is so patient.

Raquel finds very interesting online articles to read that use vocabulary in day to day conversation. She asks me to explain each paragraph, which helps with both my speaking and comprehension skills.

Raquel always provides interesting articles to go through in the lesson and this helps me to learn the language.
