Hello, My name is Sharlene! I am from the Netherlands. I was born in a city called Almere next to Amsterdam. I have lived here all my life until now. I love to read books. I am currently studying social work. I moved to Italy, at the feet of the alps. I am currently learning Italian and Portuguese myself. I know how frustrating it can be to learn a new language and I will help you every step of the way. Almere is a super multicultural city and I have always been exposed to different cultures and languages. Now it is my passion to learn and teach languages. I love dancing, learning about new cultures, cooking, nature, hiking, travelling and fitness. I also teach Dutch to refugees!
Me as a Teacher
I will give you the time and space to feel comfortable. I will make a safe space where you can make mistakes and learn from them. I will make you feel brave enough to go out there in the world and dare to make mistakes. You will sparkle with confidence.
My lessons & teaching style
What helped me personally is to start reading and trying to speak the languages I am currently learning. We will have conversations in Dutch. We will read stories you like and talk about them. I will give you fun homework. But above all! I will personalize the classes based on your needs and requests.

Sharlene is a great teacher. She is patient. Friendly and Truely understands the anxiety that comes with speaking a new language. I can’t wait to talk with her again😊

Sharlene is a very positive and patient teacher. She had me think about new phrase in a very encouraging way, and and she does not make you feel rushed. If you’re nervous about learning Dutch, she is a great teacher to talk to!

Sharlene is great to work with and very engaging! She endures my nonsense and word searching like a champ. You will most certainly improve your Dutch with her!!
