About me

Show original

Hi everyone, my name is Francien.

I'm a filmmaker and a teacher of Dutch as a Second Language.

I love chess, going to the movies, and reading.

And I absolutely love teaching!

I have 6 years of experience teaching integration courses and the Z-route in the Netherlands. I earned my NT2 teacher certification from Radboud University Nijmegen in 2020 (Post-HBO program).

I enjoy teaching beginners (A1 and A2 levels) but also welcome students who are advancing to B1 and higher.

I'm patient and enthusiastic.

My strongest point is providing constructive feedback during speaking lessons.

Learning Dutch with me is fun! I'm interested in a wide variety of topics and I encourage students to bring their own conversation topics.

Francien is an excellent tutor and I highly recommend her. She is very engaging, helps me to speak naturally, builds my confidence, very patient, and explains corrections thoroughly. The time goes by so quickly in lessons and I'm learning so much.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with Francien. She is patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the Dutch language. Learning a new language can feel intimidating, but she understands that and adjusts her teaching style to make lessons comfortable and confidence building. Her explanations are clear, and she always takes the time to make sure I truly understand before moving on. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Dutch in a supportive and effective way.
