Elisa

She always uses real-life examples and explains everything clearly, making strong connections between ideas. Her lessons are enjoyable and encourage you to speak, even if you don’t have enough vocabulary on the topic. It’s both fun and educational to have lessons with her.

I recommend Elisa's lessons. I am someone who understands most spoken Dutch but needs more practice speaking myself, and Elisa has been great about giving me the opportunity to speak in a way that feels like a natural and fun conversation and helping me rephrase things when I'm not sure the correct way to say something. I look forward to my lessons with her every week.

Elisa encourages me with all kinds of topics of conversation so I can practice and feel comfortable putting what I'm learning into practice

I had about 20 lessons (2,5 months of active studying) with Elisa before actually going to the Netherlands. After that, I could actually survive, and also talk to people from the hostels and to my Dutch-speaking friends. It's an amazing feeling and I got the biggest compliments from people for my Dutch after such a short period of learning it. I really like how the lessons are structured and that you can always come back to the previous topics and vocabulary from the lessons. Even though many topics seem confusing to me, Elisa takes time to go through them at a good pace and structures following lessons, according to the topics that make it difficult for me to speak at the moment. Dankjewel, en ik hoop dat mijn Nederlands steeds beter zal worden! :)

Great teacher, is encouraging, friendly and is happy to collaborate to meet your goals!

Elisa is a fantastic, kind, and incredibly supportive teacher. She has a calm approach, which I really appreciate, and she never makes you feel uncomfortable if you need extra time to think of words or form sentences. Her lessons are well structured, and she communicates clearly, which makes learning feel focused and productive :)
