Native Dutch teacher making the language accessible and enjoyable—with a strong focus on speaking. Hoi! I’m Zita, a native Dutch speaker from Leiden, offering Dutch lessons from Brazil. Whether you’re starting from scratch or polishing your fluency, I aim to make Dutch as accessible and enjoyable as possible. With a background in Cultural Anthropology & Sociology, years of experience teaching English to Brazilians, and over five years of tutoring Dutch on Italki, I understand how challenging learning a new language can be. I also learned Portuguese myself, so I know it's important to feel comfortable making mistakes. That's why I try to create a relaxed atmosphere in our lessons, so we can build your confidence step by step. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy walking along the beach, swimming, and exploring the region. I love learning about other cultures, so I hope you don’t mind me being curious about yours! **Basic Dutch lessons:** For complete beginners. We'll practise small conversations, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation using structured slides that you can access after each lesson. It's conversation-focused and takes you to A1/A1+ level. **Conversation practice:** For students at A2 level or above. Informal conversations about topics you choose or a video I send in advance. Vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation is corrected the chat. **Rescheduling and cancellations:** Allowed up to 24h before the lesson, in line with italki’s policy. To keep lesson prices affordable, reimbursement or rescheduling isn’t possible after that. Thank you for understanding!

Zita is een fantastische lerares! De lessen zijn leuk en interessant. Zij legt alles goed uit en helpt met grammatica en uitspraak. Ik voel me steeds beter in het Nederlands. Zij is ook geduldig en vriendelijk. Ik raad Zita zeker aan!

Zita has everything one can wish for in a teacher. Always encouraging, a very good listener, she corrects me as much as I need, very positive and easy-going. I am so grateful for having found her and I am always looking forward to my lessons. My favourite teacher by far!

I really enjoyed our lesson and did not know how much I knew until I spoke with Zita. Great conversation, made me feel comfortable to speak; and was able to help me a lot with pronunciation, vocabulary, and even some grammar issues I was having. I will definitely be scheduling another lesson.
