Ik kan Shiva niet genoeg aan bevelen. Ze is echt verantwoordelijk, gepassioneerd en aardig. Ik heb al zo lang geen Nederlands meer gesproken en haar lessen motiveren mij om steeds meer te spreken in de klas en ook darrbuiten.

Very nice lesson. I had lots of time to talk Dutch and Shiva gave useful feedback during the class, which is very important if you want to talk Dutch correctly.

Na een paar lessen met Shiva voel ik me al zelfverzekerder als ik Nederlands spreek. De lessen zijn erg leuk en goed georganiseerd. Ze heeft veel onderwerpen om over te discussiëren, en ze geeft goede feedback na de les. Ik zou haar lessen zeker aanraden!

Shiva's lessen are really good! I used to do many tranditional dutch courses but I didn't have much confident in speaking Dutch. While her class, she encouraged me to speak out with different topics that really interest me. My Dutch Speaking skills improved with a few lessons with her!
