Tuition

I have been teaching Dutch as a second language (Nt2) for eleven years both in a classroom setting and in one-to-one sessions for children and adults alike. I have worked for a variety of organizations in different roles: I taught Dutch language and Culture at the Language Centre at Basel University; I worked for the MoD, where I taught in the Defence Centre for Languages and Culture; and I worked at Cactus Learning where I taught classes for many different proficiencies, ranging from A1 to C2 as set out in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

No matter your ability, I work hard to create personalized lessons that suit you. Whether there is an upcoming exam you want to pass, you want to learn a new language to use in a business setting, or there is a more social reason for you to learn Dutch, I can tailor my sessions to provide you with the very best outcome.

We are very pleased with her formative method of teaching. Meritha has the ability to teach different levels simultaneously through a structured yet engaging and constructive approach. She identified and improved the individual strengths and weaknesses of both children efficiently. She fully met our expectations and both kids really liked to learn Dutch from her.

“I found learning dutch with Meritha very interesting and enjoyable, her method of teaching is different from what I have previously experienced, particularly as I made her aware that I was actually due to move to the Netherlands from London, so I was serious about this … the reading, writing and understanding of the culture rather than just a few phrases to get by.
Her methods involved actually learning the correct pronunciation of words and groups of letters which is not easy for someone from England, but she encouraged me to take notes, and record my own voice and listen to myself reading in dutch … from my own experience, I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know for learning a language.”
