About Mariska
From an early age I have been fascinated by language. My first love was the French language, but finally I ended up learning Russian and English and became a translator. In my work as a translator, I was missing the contact with people. That’s why I decided to become a Dutch teacher.
It is with great pleasure that I since then work as a teacher. It gives a lot of satisfaction to help people find their way in a new country and the language gives them this opportunity. In my lessons pleasure in learning and a fun environment are top priorities while at the same time spreading my enthusiasm for language and the language learning process.
