๐Hi and welcome! My name is Matthea, I am 26 years old and I live in beautiful Uganda. I was born and raised in the Netherlands, I lived in a town called Dordrecht for 23 years. Dutch is my mother tongue, but I am also fluent in English since I speak English most of the time nowadays. I love visiting other countries, being creative (also digitally) and cooking!
Me as a Teacher
๐I have a degree in Primary Education and I was a primary school teacher (mostly ages 10/11) in the Netherlands for a few years. After that, I moved to Uganda to homeschool some children. I also gave them lessons in Dutch as a second language. Since I love to be able to focus on one person, adapt to their needs and create lessons for them, I am excited to start teaching online.
Ik heb een pabo diploma (basisonderwijs) en ik ben een aantal jaar juf geweest in Nederland (vooral groep 7). Daarna ben ik naar Uganda verhuisd om een aantal kinderen thuisonderwijs te geven. Ik heb hen ook lessen Nederlands als tweede taal gegeven.
My lessons & teaching style
๐ป I love to prepare my lessons well and use variety, so it's stays interesting. I will adapt to what you want to focus on and together we will make a plan for you. I will keep repeating what we have learned, so it's easier for you to remember.
Ik houd ervan mijn lessen goed voor te bereiden en ze ook gevarieerd te houden, zodat het interessant blijft. Ik zal me aanpassen aan waar jij op wilt focussen en we zullen samen een plan voor jou maken. Ik zal blijven herhalen wat we hebben geleerd, zodat het makkelijker is om te onthouden.

I have been having regular classes with Matthea now for almost two months. She is very professional, diligent, and has a great personality. Thanks to her, I can feel my Dutch getting better and better. I highly recommend Matthea to those seeking a more focused and personalized studying experience.

Matthea has been a fantastic Dutch docent for me. Sheโs super organized, and prepares really good materials for us to work through for each lesson. She was previously a primary school teacher, and itโs really obvious that she has learned how to teach and explain things well. Sheโs kind and patient.
