"The course started off as a way to learn a new language, but at the end of the course it felt like a group of friends coming together every week to learn a new hobby; speaking dutch. At the end of most lessons we had a little review of what we thought went well and what we would like to see more, this provided an opportunity for honest feedback which propelled us to improve everytime. The course has given me an enthusiasm for the language that I didn't have at the beginning at the course, I would thoroughly recommend it for anyone that takes learning in a good positive environment seriously."

Yiwonda from Malawi (B2)

“Nicole has done almost three successful courses with us all with excellent reviews. She is young, dynamic, skilled language teacher. She leads by empathy, compassion and kindness. Nicole uses this virtue in her classroom to make the learning process both fun and effective for all her expat students. She believes in building a great connection with her students and give personalized attention. Hoping for more work and cooperation with you in future Nicole.”

Expats Zwolle, Netherlands (organisation)

"I took a course covering A0-A2 level Dutch where Nicole was my instructor. I have only known English so Dutch was the second language for me to learn. I would recommend Nicole as an instructor if you are interested in learning Dutch, she carefully prepares lesson plans with a mix of bookwork, games and videos to ensure multiple ways of learning and also is interested in feedback to custom make the homework to focus on your opportunities. If you put in the effort so will she, I recommend her highly! I would not have passed the A2 level without her guidance. Vocabulary for me was ok, grammar was very much not ok. I still have the same weaknesses but I have the foundation to get by and improve. If I pursue the next level B1 I will try to find out how to ensure Nicole is mijn docent. Bedankt voor alles, Nicole!"

Sara from South Africa

"I found the teaching methods and the atmosphere extremely encouraging, mistakes were tolerated and I didn't feel rushed or embarrassed when i didn't have the correct answer. The teacher created an environment that made learning pleasant and I looked forward to every class. My dutch has improved and I have more confidence with the dutch language as a result of this course."

Yiwonda from Malawi

“I am really appreciating the motivation you give me. Because of you I started to believe that I can learn Dutch. I like you as a person and as a teacher. I like your way of teaching and your open heart to help. It was nice and interesting for me to lesson about Dutch cultures, Dutch news, watch short stories (about empathy for example). Your lessons are always varied and interesting, I can feel that you are really care. I can strongly recommend you as a Dutch teacher… and I already did....”
