My Teacher has helped me enormously with my language abilities. Every class was tailored so that I can have fun while learning. We would talk about life, work, school and experiences while also doing grammar or vocabulary exercises. That way I felt like I was learning how to express myself rather than learn a fixed set of words for grammar exercises. She encouraged me to speak, would give me very positive advice and has constantly built my confidence. I felt supported during my learning journey. I found a mentor in my teacher, and that is important for a foreign student, starting life in Amsterdam, at 19 years old. Thank you!
