"My passion for language and education is the reason I created Conversatieles.nl. I train non-native speakers to communicate in Dutch with confidence, placing a lot of attention on speaking skills and pronunciation."
Margriet van de Weerdhof
As a child I already knew that I wanted to work in education. That's why
I studied History in Groningen.
After completing my Master's degree, I spent 15 years
working at various municipalities. In addition to this work, I was a language buddy.
I enjoyed teaching so much that
I decided to study to become a Dutch as a Second Language teacher.
In 2015 I founded
Conversatatieles.nl
specializing in
Speaking and Pronunciation
As a teacher I am able to use my language and communication skills
to work with diverse students who have various backgrounds, cultures, education and interests
To experience what it is like to learn a new language, I took lessons in the Arabic language
My motto is:
التعلم ليس له عمر
"You're never too old to learn"
