While I really want to learn Dutch, it for sure does not come easy to me. With the courses I took in the past, I had to “drag” myself to lessons and always considered it a “chore”. With Lotte, however, classes became so much more fun. She brings such an amazing energy and manages to keep everyone very active and motivated even after a full day of work at the evening classes. She is excellent at explaining complex grammar concepts but also adds a lot of fun elements from philosophical speaking discussions to introducing us to Dutch culture with pictures of herself as a kid at various Dutch festivals. The time flies at her lessons and I feel like I made great progress learning with her. Thank you, Lotte!”

…especially with my speaking. Before, I was always timid about speaking, hesitant that I would make too many mistakes. In her lessons, she creates supportive and fun moments by choosing interesting topics or bringing games that you start to see speaking as an enjoyable activity rather than a stressful task. She also shares extra materials, like Dutch series or YouTube videos, to help us to integrate Dutch into daily life by making it interesting and easy. Overall, I am so glad and feel lucky to be in her class. She is a great teacher!”

…She makes every class feel far less like a chore and something I genuinely look forward to each time.

She always includes fun little tidbits in her lessons and has a wonderful way of starting each class, often with a really interesting fact or an adorable picture of herself as a child that somehow connects to the topic we are about to study. It immediately makes the class engaging and memorable. Lotte also encourages learning Dutch outside the classroom, providing a long list of recommendations for shows, movies, and podcasts.

She creates a classroom environment where learning feels safe and encouraged. We are able to practice, make mistakes, and sometimes completely mess things up without feeling embarrassed. It truly takes a special teacher to create such a space!

I enjoyed her teaching style so much that I even followed her to the next level of Dutch classes. All in all, she is a lively, happy person who brings amazing energy to every lesson, and it really shows in how effective and fun her classes are.”

…I’ve been to one of Lotte’s fitness sessions, and I would highly recommend them to everyone, from beginners to sports professionals. While the exercises might seem intense, Lotte’s energy helps you keep up, so you don’t feel exhausted after the session but rather strong and happy. Just like it always was at the Dutch classes, the atmosphere was fun and warm. I felt very welcomed. I believe that wonderful people are drawn to each other, which is why I love spending time at Lotte’s classes, whether it’s studying language or moving my body, I’m always surrounded by great people. I love moving and learning!”
