About Elly D.
Hi, my name is Elly. I am a retired teacher but still full of spirit to teach motivated students the Dutch language. I live in Portugal. My lessons will go beyond the level of 'Hi, how are you' and 'my name is.' I would love to be your tutor in this. I have 9 years of experience in teaching in Holland. I have a degree in teaching of the Pedagogische Academie in Zeist. Learning a language is more than just being able to say some basic sentences. We will start simple but with every lesson you will increase your vocabulary that we will use in the lessons to follow. This means that in between lessons you will have to memorize the new words. Learning a language is repeating, repeating, repeating. 😉😉😉 Teaching is a two way street. I want to know my student and of course you as a student need to feel comfortable in my way of teaching. Let's have a session to see if there is a click between us. And of course we need to see your motivation and your purpose and goals with learning Dutch.
