Dutch lessons in Canary Wharf

Rianne was a good choice of teacher. She is extremely patient - and goodness knows trying to teach a slow-learner like me requires a great deal of patience!! She is also friendly but firm. She always arrives on time, with classes prepared but isn't inflexible with the learning. For example, If we start to stray away from the book a little and pursue something that helps me understand a point of grammar or get to grips with the pronunciation of a specific phrase, she encourages it. She understands that for me, learning a new language is a real challenge and my confidence is not especially high whilst doing it - and i'm grateful that she sees this, tries to adjust the way she teaches to fit the way that i learn and doesn't show any exasperation! I would recommend Rianne wholeheartedly.

Miguel, is a very friendly and flexible teacher. The advantage of one-on-one lessons is that you can move to topics you really want to, or need to address, quite naturally. Miguel does this very well and adapts to your needs, often in quite an innovative manner. We use the standard Portuguese text book as a basis, but have a lot of fun doing different things around that: whether it is specific grammatical points, pronunciation, or structured conversation.

So far, my first class with Dave was quite interesting. I have already learned few basic Dutch vocabulary and more before this class. My problem mainly is to speak the language and understand what another person is saying. Teacher Dave has observed me and evaluated my level. I am looking forward to more lessons with him.
