Speaking Dutch, Culture, Customs and Etiquette, I offer Dutch language courses from Beginners to Advanced levels .

I've been working with Ria as my Dutch tutor since September 2021, and I strive to have a weekly lesson. Ria is an exceptional Dutch tutor with extensive teaching experience. She takes the time to assess your existing knowledge and skill level, providing tailored support to help you improve. Her teaching is well-structured, offering practical exercises to reinforce your learning. Ria's encouragement and motivation inspire you to give your best effort. She emphasizes independent thinking and a deep understanding of the language. Ria's main objective is to ensure your comprehensive understanding of the language, not just aiming for exam success. Given my unpredictable schedule, Ria has shown remarkable flexibility, allowing me to reschedule lessons when necessary. Her patience and readiness to assist with any questions make her an outstanding Dutch tutor. I wholeheartedly recommend her teaching. I eagerly anticipate continuing this learning journey with her.

Working with Ria has been a great experience. We balance working on the formal curriculum with other topics that interest me so the lessons are tailor made to my individual needs. Some lessons are very challenging but we also revise the basics regularly so that steady progress is made. Ria is professional but also warm and welcoming and she puts me at ease when practicing speaking in Dutch. The lessons cover not just language but also Dutch culture. I still have a lot to learn but I know with Ria’s help I’ll get there in time!

I am very pleased with how quickly Ria was able to level my current language skill and provide material that is challenging yet achievable. I feel that I am making progress in a structured way and I look forward to, and enjoy my lessons with, Ria. I am also very pleased with the flexibility offered regarding timings and days for my Beginners Dutch lessons. This was essential for me to be able to commence a language course, and I couldn’t be happier with how it is going so far.

We found Ria on LinkedIn October 2021, a couple of months before we moved from the UK to the Netherlands. My wife and I started having online lessons once a week since then. My wife is English and I am Greek. We have found Ria's online tutoring excellent. She is very flexible and accommodating which is great help to us as we have young children and both work full time. She's been very patient with us and lessons are varied and interesting. We've progressed to A2 level and planning to continue on to more advanced Dutch.

I've very recently moved to the Netherlands and have been learning Dutch quite intensively for the last year in preparation. Ria's lessons have been an invaluable addition to my studies, adding some much needed structure to my otherwise haphazard learning style. The lessons are adapted to my strengths, weaknesses and goals. Ria is always encouraging, gives good feedback and I always enjoy our Dutch conversations.

Ria is a very experienced and skilled teacher who goes through a structured course with patience and combines her teaching with cultural learning. Her deep knowledge of both English and Dutch languages, and of British and Dutch cultures, have been wonderful to work with as a student. She can often take a Dutch expression - explain it in both the cultures, which is very useful to feel more at ease with Dutch. Lessons with Ria are relaxed, and a very exciting journey in getting to a point where one can read/write/listen-to and speak in the Dutch language! I highly recommend her!

Since starting lessons with Ria, my Dutch has improved significantly, and I look forward to our sessions every week. Ria is incredibly patient, always taking the time to explain things clearly and ensuring I fully grasp them before moving forward. She really tailors the lessons to what I need, creating a relaxed and encouraging environment that has helped me develop my language skills for both personal and professional use. I highly recommend Ria to anyone seeking a supportive, knowledgeable and highly effective Dutch tutor.
