Meet our language teachers.
Effie
With her own language school, Learn2speak Dutch, Effie helps non-native speakers feel at home in the Netherlands. Drawing on her own experience, she understands the challenges her students face. Not only with grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary, but also in the practical realities of working and living in the Netherlands.
Through personal attention, clear explanations, and genuine enthusiasm, she helps her students improve both their language skills and their confidence. By incorporating familiar examples from everyday Dutch life into her lessons, she makes language learning meaningful and directly applicable in practice. For Effie, language is more than a means of communication: it connects people and opens doors to new opportunities.
Monique
Monique is an experienced Dutch teacher with Greek as a second language. Living in Greece for over 35 years gives her unique insights into both Dutch and Greek culture. Her own experience learning Greek has given her a unique understanding of how challenging it can be to learn a second language later in life.
With a wealth of teaching experience, Monique has helped many learn Dutch. Her patient and supportive approach makes students feel comfortable as they delve deeper into the language. Monique speaks both English and Greek as a second language, creating an inclusive learning environment for expats.
Chrysa
Chrysa's passion for foreign languages began at a young age and motivated her to study Philology in Greece. This love for languages later brought Chrysa to the Netherlands, where she learned Dutch at Learn2speak Dutch. This makes her approach extra special and allows her to truly understand her students' learning needs and guide them throughout their language journey.
With extensive teaching experience, Chrysa has worked in school settings and volunteered. All these experiences have strengthened her teaching skills and enhanced her ability to convey the language in an accessible and effective way.
