What others say about private lessons with Mama Dutch.

Mariska is reliable, flexible and what I would call a "teacher for adult adults." I had my goal (e.g. inburgeringsexamen) and she was able to assist and guide me with this process. She is balanced, calm and pushes the student within the respectable limits. She acknowledges the importance of my work and is not overly upset for no homework (or that I forgot the word for the 50th time!). And she also always gets back to Dutch whenever I try to switch to English ;)

I was looking for private lessons because I wanted to move at my own pace, and be able to have the lessons based on my own personal schedule rather than a class schedule. Mariska made learning Dutch a fun experience. She is flexible, informative, casual, warm/friendly- and lessons were customized to my needs.

My lessons with Mama Dutch are 'supergezellig'! : ) I like her informal style of teaching and we are laughing a lot. Mariska also adds some new elements in the lessons like games or interesting articles to read. Regardless, there is always a plan for a lesson, so it's always effective. I feel a weekly progress with my Dutch.

About the teacher

My name is Mariska and as a teacher, I believe that learning a new language should be a stress-free and fun activity that easily integrates into your busy life. Over the years, I’ve seen so many students lose the joy of learning Dutch. After taking a typical Dutch course, you might believe that you’re either too old or too busy to learn Dutch. Or that there’s no need to learn the language because everybody speaks English. But learning a language is also learning about culture!

In this intensive, private course, I’ll give you a closer look into Dutch culture and use the language to teach you all the fun and weird things about the Dutch!

Due to high demand, I’ve added more teachers to my team. They all share my teaching philosophy and, as a bonus, have their own individual teaching expertise. Bringing more teachers onboard means I can offer classes at times that work for your schedule.

Each teacher brings their own experience and unique value to the table, so I carefully match classes and teachers based on the needs of each student.
