About me
Hi, my name is Frederique and I'm a traveling Dutch teacher from the Netherlands. I love getting to know new people, places and cultures, and to teach others about my own! That’s why I left the highschool I worked at and started teaching Dutch classes online.
I have over 10 years of teaching experience. At the University Leiden I finished both the Bachelor and Master Dutch Language & Culture (2011) and the teacher training (2013). At the same time I was teaching at a Dutch high school, where I worked for 7 years with great pleasure. I loved working with teenagers - especially the personal contact, - but I didn’t like being limited to a classroom.
After living in India for 3 years (also during an exciting lockdown period in Varanasi), I made the shift to teaching Dutch as a Second Language. At the moment I teach students of all ages and backgrounds, who are in a same sort of situation as me: leaving abroad and having to adapt to a new country, including the language.
In my classes I always use a structured method, tailored to the level of the student. And around that I like learning Dutch to be fun! That’s why I incorporate a lot of games, personal subjects and interactive elements in my classes.
Feedback from one of my students: “Frederique has the gift of motivating her students every lesson! She was very approachable, friendly, helpful, empathetic and a great teacher. I enjoyed every moment of my language lessons! She adapted our lessons well to respond to our current situations and help us communicate in the necessary current context.”
Feedback from one of my colleagues: “I enjoyed seeing how you and the students had built such a strong rapport. They were all so happy to be in class and felt very comfortable talking in Dutch. You are an inspiring teacher and it’s clear that you are invested in the students’ learning process (...). In addition you prepare appropriate materials to be used in class and cater to your students’ needs.”
Discover the joy of learning Dutch with me, Frederique, a passionate and experienced, traveling Dutch teacher. Together, we will embark on a journey of language and culture, tailored to your level and filled with interactive activities. Let's make learning Dutch an enjoyable and rewarding experience!

Absolutely 5 star. I've been taking lessons with Frederique for more than a month, and the lessons are super well structure. She has lots of experience with teaching. In 1 hour lesson she covers speaking, vocabularies, grammar etc, so that you can improve all aspects and of course she will tailor the class for you to fit your need. Look forward to future lessons, I hope I can improve a lot!Sandra

Frederique is a fantastic teacher. She is very patient, friendly, funny and I am always looking forward to the next lesson. She is very organised and the lessons are planned out very well. I am learning a lot and am enjoying my learning adventure. Apart from the language I am learning a lot about the Netherlands and its customs, which brings the language to life. I can 100% recommend Frederique as a teacher! :-)Katerina

Frederique has been incredibly helpful. I have a very unique language goal that I am working towards and she has been instrumental in getting me there. From our first lesson, she came prepared, took lots of notes and tailored her approach to my circumstances. She is very friendly, patient and kind. I strongly recommend anyone looking for a Dutch tutor to work with Frederique!
