My name is Marion and I am thrilled to have you on my website! I know that being an expat is a challenge on its own and then add a different language and culture to it. So let me help you here!
My journey as a teacher started in Hong Kong six years ago, where I moved with my husband and got to experience the expat life myself.
After having background in psychology and years of experience as a therapist, I had to reinvent myself and I found passion in teaching Dutch at the Dutch Consulate in Hong Kong.
Two years since I am back in the Netherlands and I kept on teaching Dutch and helping expats settle in our beautiful country. I helped numerous expats and their families to prepare for the life in the Netherlands, pass Inburgering, NT2 and guide them through he process of getting Dutch citizenship.
I love teaching and coaching, my background in psychology helps me quickly create a special dynamic. I focus on helping my students gain self-confidence, which makes learning Dutch a lot easier.
I believe that there’s no on-size-fits-all and learning in private or small groups is more effective than classrooms. No matter what your needs and learning preferences are, I will make it work for you.

Marion is flexible, she teaches you the way that suits you. Marion is attentive. I do not recall falling asleep at any of her lessons because she always finds a way to keep me focused. It can be a silly jone, a friendly chat or a piece of my favourite - chocolate.Marion is patient. Believe it or not, over the years of lessons, there hasn’t been a single time that Marion got annoyed because I repeatedly make the same mistake.
After only a few sessions working together, I remember telling her , “You are a born teacher”. One can feel immediately her passion for teaching and for her students to really learn. Marion fits the lessons to the student’s needs and never the other way around.She also makes learning interesting and even fun. It is almost impossible not to look forward to the next lessons with her.
As a beginner in learning Dutch, I joined the weekly one2one lesson with Marion for almost two years. Her tailor-made course materials which assisted me to build up my Dutch vocabulary, as well as my spoken Dutch - these are so handy for my work!Chats with Marion has helped me to learn more about Dutch culture and mindset. These have made me appreciate the Netherlands and the Dutch more & more!
