Dutch Lessons for your employees
My name is Anne Margriet van Dam and I teach Dutch to expats who work in The Netherlands. My students are motivated to learn Dutch for a variety of reasons.
These may vary from needing to acquire daily conversational skills or for the purposes of becoming a Dutch citizen to being able to work for a Dutch company or teach at a university.
Companies contact me for individual and/or group lessons for their employees.

Many years ago I discovered my love for teaching Dutch to foreigners and since then I have taught many different people and groups from all walks of life.
