Dutch Teachers And The rest of Our Team
Let's Meet
Eliza
Hi!
I am Eliza and I invite you to learn Dutch with me. I graduated from Dutch studies at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin in Poland and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. I have been living in Amsterdam for several years and I teach Dutch both online and offline.
My students are mainly Poles but I also teach other international students. Let me convince you that learning a language does not have to mean studying from boring books!
In my lessons I use effective and varied interactive and fun educational materials.
I always try to ensure that each of the course participants is 100% involved in the lessons. I encourage you to speak and use your knowledge in practice!
See you later! Tot snel!
Karima
My name is Karima. I am 35 years old and I live in Heemstede. I am a sociable person and love to be with my family and friends. Photography, reading and travelling are some of my hobbies. Language teaching is an important part of my life as I started teaching at the age of 21. I am a native Dutch speaker and I teach French and Dutch. The most satisfying aspect of teaching is helping students develop their language skills and boost their self-confidence. I believe that every lesson should bring out the best in a student. Interaction, real-life situations, fun and tailor-made lessons are the important ingredients of my lessons. You will also have visual support during and after the lessons (PowerPoints, videos and PDFs). You will not only learn the language but also understand the culture better. Language is one of the most important parts of any culture and I would love to guide you on this journey!
Siebren
Hoi! My name is Siebren and I am a native Dutch teacher! A positive atmosphere is really important during my Dutch classes – as is having fun! I strive to help every student get the best out of themselves whilst familiarising themselves with Dutch. I am flexible and offer efficient language training, based on the learning needs of each student. See you soon! Tot snel!
Michelle
Hi! My name is Michelle and I am excited to start the adventure of learning a new language with you! I am a Dutch native speaker with 7 years of experience teaching Dutch, in both group and individual lessons, as well as in preparation courses for the integration exam.
Thanks to my experience of living in Chile for a few years, I know how demanding it is to learn a foreign language and how it feels adapting to life in a new country. I know that during this process it is not only important to learn the language, but to also learn about a culture and adapt to a new way of thinking. I believe that learning Dutch in an interactive and fun way will help you in your everyday life in the Netherlands and Belgium! In my spare time I love creative activities: knitting, painting and drawing. I also love reading about Dutch history and Dutch art. I look forward to sharing various curiosities about the Netherlands with you.
Here you will find more information about the individual lessons with Michelle.
Dorota
Hoi! Ik ben Dorota!
I started my adventure with the Dutch language in 2007 in Ghent and I continue it to this day in keeping with the concept that a person continues to learn throughout their life. I obtained my theoretical preparation at Radboud in’to Languages in Nijmegen and have been improving my practical skills since 2012, when students started to accompany me on my teaching adventure.
As Paulien Cornelisse, a writer, columnist and cabaret creator, states, the Dutch language, for some, may seem unattractive because it sounds like ‘[…] a rubber boot that you are trying to pull out of thick mud. But at the same time, oh, how beautiful our language is. A language that uses words like: ‘gegniffel‘, ‘bollewangenhapsnoet‘, en ‘prietpraat‘. Of course, it is beautiful: phonetically, formatively, in fact, in every way!
All that’s left is for me to invite you to discover the charms of the Dutch language together at Level Up Academy!
Alice
Hi, my name is Alice. I am a qualified and experienced ESL teacher with over ten years experience teaching adults and teenagers. I have been teaching Dutch as a second language since 2017 and really enjoy helping beginners gain confidence in their speaking skills by offering conversation classes which also include a focus on grammar and vocabulary building. Come and learn with me and we will have fun as I help you on your language journey 🙂
Feykje
Hoi! My name is Feykje, born and raised in the Netherlands and living in Spain since the end of 2020. I started teaching during my masters Dutch as a Second Language and Multilingualism and haven’t stopped since. I enjoy it very much to meet new people, hear your background story and inspire and help you bring your Dutch to the next level.
My students describe my lessons as fun, social, and effective and I pride myself on creating a comfortable and reliable learning environment, while the lessons seem to fly by! A beautiful sum up of my goal as a teacher because learning should be fun and directly applicable!
Will I help you next? Let’s get started!
Amarins
Hoi! My name is Amarins and I’m Dutch but I live in Spain with my Australian husband. I’m excited to help you learn Dutch!
From my own experience I know what it’s like to learn a new language, and besides that I helped my husband passing his ‘inburgeringsexamen’.
I’m really passionate about helping you to be able to express yourself in Dutch and feel more confident in speaking with your partner, friends, colleagues, neighbours or in-laws.
I offer Dutch lessons with English or Spanish as the language of instruction.
My students say that I am kind, patient, understanding and knowledgeable, and that I create a positive atmosphere during the lessons.I hope to see you soon!
Asia
Hi!
I’m Asia, and I’ve been living in the Netherlands since 2014. I’m originally from Ukraine, where I began my career in foreign languages.
In 2021, I completed my training in Dutch as a Second Language (Nederlands als Tweede Taal), and since then, I have been giving both online and in-person lessons to help new Dutch residents master the language. I also teach lessons to my fellow countrymen.
I often hear from my students that they find my lessons interactive, positively challenging, and clear. In my classes, I regularly use fun interactive assignments with a lot of grammar and extracurricular exercises, which also makes my lessons practice-oriented!
I’d like to invite you to take the first steps in learning Dutch together with me! Hope to see you soon!
Kind regards,
Asia
