Video intro
About Josanne
Hi, I'm Josanne - Dutch lawyer, language nerd, and tutor who reads obsessively, writes compulsively, and dreams of publishing a medical thriller someday. Until then: multilingual and mildly overcaffeinated. ☕ I've taught Dutch, German and French in secondary and adult education, and tutored students in law, languages and study skills since I was one myself. My lessons are conversation-based and built around your goals, meaning no textbook march, just real communication at your level. You'll do most of the talking; I'll guide, question, and correct (gently, with purpose). I don't teach Dutch from scratch, but if you already speak a little, I'll help you build fluency, confidence and clarity.

Josanne is a very friendly and helpful teacher. She has a lot of energy and keeps the conversation going while at the same time correcting mistakes and clarifying grammar. I learnt a lot and it was a lot of fun. Highly recommended!

Josanne is a wonderful teacher and conversation partner. She is enthusiastic about learning new languages, so she really understands the challenges of learning a new language as an adult. If you are looking for a fun and knowledgeable language teacher, look no further. Thanks to my weekly conversations with Josanne, I am much more confident expressing myself in Dutch. Highly recommended.

Ich habe mich sehr gut mit Josanne unterhalten können in niederländisch, englisch und deutsch. Eine sehr nette Frau und sehr begabt. Die Zeit verging zu schnell, wie immer, wenn man sich vergnügt. Ich freue mich auf ein nächstes Treffen.

Super angenehme und lockere Stunde mit viel guter Stimmung 😊 Die Zeit ging total schnell vorbei und ich habe mich direkt wohlgefühlt. Offen, sympathisch haben wir einfach drauflos erzählt. Hat wirklich Spaß gemacht. Freue mich schon aufs nächste Mal!

I would certainly recommend Josanna. She's incredibly bright and knowledgeable with a clear love of language. She speaks beautifully and clearly which makes comprehension more enjoyable and puts one at ease. The lesson absolutely flew and I'm looking forward to the next one.
