Dutch Lessons for expats
My name is Anne Margriet van Dam and I teach Dutch to foreigners living 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.
People contact me for individual or duo lessons at their working place or in the comfort of their own home.
