**November schedule to be updated later due to travelling**
Hello :) my name is Sharon. I am a native speaker of Dutch and a fluent English speaker. I am gentle, patient and open-minded. I look forward to meeting you!
My interests include singing and music, gaming, journaling, watching series, yoga, walks in nature and reading. I like expanding my mind, growing as a person, and learning new things through connecting with others. I'm looking forward to learning through our exchanges as well!
Me as a Teacher
I like working together with my students to find a study method that suits each person. It is important to me that you feel comfortable while studying with me :) I will do my best to make sure that you feel at ease. I am not a trained professional teacher, but I will try to help you to the best of my ability.
My lessons & teaching style
In our first lesson together, we will discuss options and decide which lesson rate applies to your needs. Trial lessons may be longer than 30 minutes if my schedule allows. Out of trial lessons? Message me, and I can send you a lesson invitation for a reduced rate!
Options for lessons include:
- speaking practice (with corrections based on your preferences)
- cross-talk or direct method
- reading articles or watching videos + discussion
- reading short stories or dialogues
- textbook lessons, from casual read-throughs to lessons with extra materials and exercises provided
- practice recordings or review files
Lessons can include homework but this may mean a higher rate.

Sharon, thank you for another wonderful lesson! The way you explain things, the notes you provide for me, your ability to keep the conversation flowing – all of this gives me enthusiasm to continue, even though I usually have a difficult time with foreign languages.

Sharon, many thanks for your active listening and for helping me to improve my Dutch language skills. You pay attention to areas that can be improved and this helps a lot. Also, I really appreciate the quality of our conversations and the balance between activities during a lesson. Thank you and see you soon!

Sharon helped me immensely by using notes and demonstrated a deep understanding of language studies. My trial class exceeded my expectations, and I found her to be an excellent teacher.
