Experienced Language and Theater Teacher with a background in Counseling Psychology. Ready to help you develop the confidence to communicate with ease!

I first came to know Mariaan when I was assigned to her for Afrikaans lessons, back in Cape Town South Africa. She very quickly became my favourite teacher due to her warm and welcoming personality, fun and engaging way of teaching and a sincere and meaningful connection. There was no judgement in her correction of word order, pronunciation or sentance structure. Mariaan may have taught me Afrikaans, but it was through English that she was able to do so. She is no doubt fluent in the language, a wonderful teacher and an amazing human. Fifteen years down the line, we remain in close contact and she continues to teach me and guide me on my Dutch journey. There is no one better.

Mariaan taught with me for many years in Cape Town, South Africa.
She is a dedicated and passionate teacher who gives her all to her learners and colleagues. She is an asset for any institution!
