What do my students say about my lessons?
Michelle's Dutch courses are fantastic! I started with her A0-A1 course and enjoyed it so much that I continued with the next levels. Her approach made even the challenging parts of learning Dutch feel enjoyable. She uses a variety of creative tools, such as games, quizzes, videos and fun homework assignments that keep the lessons interesting and never boring.
If you are looking for a teacher who truly cares about her students' succes and makes learning fun, Michelle is the perfect choice!

I took Dutch lessons with Michelle, and it was a fantastic experience. She was always friendly and approachable, creating a comfortable learning environment. Not only does she teach the language effectively, but she also shares valuable insights into Dutch culture, making the lessons both informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Dutch!

I took private classes with Michelle and she helped me to improve my Dutch.
First of all, she was always prepared; she studied beforehand the lesson, you've never got her improvising during it. Second, she had plentiful ideas for the content; some of then dynamical, the others more contemplative. For instance, since I love reading history, I get acquaintance by her with the program Welkom bij de Romeinen which combine both history and amusement. Likewise, in the process of speaking, I never felt judged or ashamed of my pronunciation; she encouraged me to speak and have conversations, although she also corrected me when it was necessary. I would recommend her for sure as teacher.

I am very grateful to Michelle for the beginning of my way with Dutch! She knows how to explain complex things simply and lessons with her were always interesting and exciting! The exams are passed, there are even more adventures ahead, but it all started with our lessons with Michelle!

Michelle was een geweldige lerares; ze had oog voor detail en maakte elke les bijzonder. Ze zorgde ervoor dat we ons allemaal op ons gemak voelden en paste de lessen aan zodat ze voor iedereen interessant waren. Haar vriendelijke manier van doen maakte het leren van Nederlands niet alleen makkelijk, maar ook veel plezierig. Dankzij haar zag ik mijn taalvaardigheden snel verbeteren. Bovendien organiseerde Michelle diverse buitenlesactiviteiten die ons hielpen om als groep te groeien. Ik ben haar erg dankbaar en zou haar sterk aanbevelen aan iedereen die Nederlands wil leren.

Ik heb Nederlands geleerd bij Michelle, van A0 tot B2-niveau. We begonnen de lessen offline, maar tijdens de corona periode schakelden we snel over naar online lessen, wat prima werkte.
Michelle heeft een ondersteunende en motiverende manier van lesgeven. We werken aan alle aspecten van de taal; grammatica, lezen, luisteren, spreken en schrijven. Ik heb veel geleerd over de Nederlandse cultuur en tradities, wat mijn begrip van het land verrijkte. Dankzij Michelle kon ik mijn inburgeringsexamens zonder moeite halen.
De lessen waren altijd creatief en leuk, met veel quizzen, spellen en creatieve huiswerkopdrachten. Dankzij deze opdrachten kreeg iedereen de kans om zich op een persoonlijke en unieke manier te uiten. Het was een prettige en dynamische manier van leren.
Ik ben Michelle erg dankbaar voor haar steun en kan haar zeker aanraden aan iedereen die Nederlands wil leren.

It is pure joy to learn language with Michelle, she has great personality. The lessons are always interactive and engaging. While teaching the language Michelle also provides cultural context, she uses traditional Dutch games, songs, or tv-programs. For me it makes learning the language so much easier and also helps establish connection with Dutch friends. While the book, of course, dictates topics, Michelle approaches them in a way that is interesting and relevant for me. As a result, this gives me vocabulary to talk about my personal experiences when having conversations in Dutch. Atmosphere during class is very relaxed and fun, whis is very important for me as there is no feeling of stress attached to the language.

Michelle is not only an excellent teacher but also a truly delightful person to learn from. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to prepare for the Naturalization exam in just two months and pass it with confidence and without stress. During our lessons, I greatly expanded my vocabulary, practiced essential language skills, and gained valuable insights into Dutch culture, history, and social life.
Each lesson was carefully tailored to my needs and always engaging, making learning both enjoyable and highly effective. This inspiring approach motivated me and my former colleagues to form a group and continue advancing our Dutch skills with Michelle’s support.
I am incredibly grateful to Michelle and wholeheartedly recommend her as an outstanding tutor for both individual and group lessons.
