Hi! I'm Martine. I'm from the Netherlands and I teach Dutch and English. I love (sustainable) travel and spend a lot of time abroad. Some of my hobbies are hiking, gardening, playing board games, reading, and chatting with friends. I'll always try to personalise my lessons and to tailor them to the needs of specific students, so whether you're a beginner or an advanced language learner, and whether you're interested in practising your speaking skills or struggling with grammar, I'd love to help you out. My teaching style varies from student to student. Although I believe speaking is one of the most important skills to practise, we could also focus a bit more on vocabulary or grammar if that's what you need help with. I try to make my lessons comfortable and fun. We can have the lessons on google meet, a platform of your choice, or italki classroom.

Working with Martine is the BEST choice I have made to improve my Dutch. Her teaching style is flexible and fun, and lessons feel like chatting with a (very patient) friend who really wants you to succeed and feel confident! If you're at all nervous or anxious about practicing your speaking, I highly recommend working with Martine.

Martine is a very nice teacher. I offered the book to do and she’s very flexible to agree and help me learn Dutch with those materials. I really like our easy going classes and will happily continue. I recommend this teacher very much.

Martine is kind and friendly, and very easy to talk to. I wanted to focus more on speaking and listening rather than following a textbook, and she shared many real-life examples naturally during our convos. She speaks Dutch and switches to English when helpful, which made things clear and comfy. The session felt relaxed and supportive, and she’s a lovely person to learn with.

As always, I had a wonderful lesson with Martine. She is really personable and makes you feel okay about your mistakes. I highly recommend her and plan on buying more packages.

Was great to have a conversation class with Martine. She is very engaging, speaks very clearly and knows the level to use with the right balance of speaking and listening for the student. She has travelled widely and has many interesting things to talk about.

La professeure arrive toujours à l’heure et conduit le cours de manière très naturelle et fluide. L’ambiance en classe est agréable et détendue, ce qui rend l’apprentissage vraiment plaisant. Elle utilise un casque avec des haut-parleurs intégrés, ce qui me permet de l’entendre parfaitement tout au long du cours. Je recommande à 100%!
