Working with Ria has been a great experience. We balance working on the formal curriculum with other topics that interest me, so the lessons are tailor made to my individual needs. Some lessons are very challenging, but we also revise the basics regularly so that steady progress is made. Ria is professional but also warm and welcoming and she puts me at ease when practicing speaking in Dutch. The lessons cover not just language but also Dutch culture. I still have a lot to learn but I know with Ria’s help I’ll get there in time!
