I enjoy lessons with Mariska, it’s always fun, positive and diverse. She is adjusting to your needs and speed of learning which is very important. I recommend lessons with Mariska!

There is a teacher and a Teacher. Mariska has a talent to teach and that's hard to find. She inspires you, her friendliness opens up the dialog, her energy is charging and keeps you alert through the lesson. Mariska connects with her students to understand their needs and challenges. Just try a class with Mariska, that's the best advice I can give. Also, the lessons were always solely in Dutch no matter how hard we tried to speak English :) and always in a great atmosphere that helps to drop the fear of speaking.

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.

Mariska's instagram course is a really fun and unintimidating way to make a start in Dutch. If you've been putting off starting to learn the language because of fear or time or money then this really is the perfect way to dip your toe in the water. Dutch isn't easy, but it will certainly seem more so after a few days doing the Mama Dutch course!

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.
