Hi,
My name is Karen. I am from Suriname. In 1975, my country became independent from the Netherlands. So, Dutch is my mother tongue.
I love languages. I am proficient in English and I also speak French, Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish and the local Sranan Tongo.
Exploiting new destinations, meeting people and learning about different cultures are my favorite activities. I am also interested in getting to know you!
Me as a Teacher
I studied tourism, business management and law. Since 2007, I have been teaching different subjects to adolescents, adults and professionals. I am pedagogically qualified to develop study materials, to teach and to assess students. If you are interested in learning practical or business Dutch, you are at the right place. I can help you develop your listening and speaking skills. Your pronunciation will improve and you will learn new vocabulary, grammar and typical Dutch expressions.
My lessons & teaching style
I invite you to book a trial lesson with me to become acquainted. We will discuss your reasons for taking language lessons and determine your learning objectives. The information enables me to assess your current level and create personalized lessons for you.
Amazing lesson discovering Surinamese culture while learning Dutch. I love to study with Karen! 💜

Karen is een erg enthousiaste en geduldige lerares, ze stuurt me de notities van de les na de les, ik vind dit een erg goed voor mijn Nederlands leren en ik kijk uit naar de volgende les met haar. :)

Amazing lesson! Thank you for adapting the lesson to my needs. As I didn't feel very good it was nice to have a lighter lesson about cultural festivities in Suriname. You are the best!
