I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support you provided to my husband and me during our time learning Dutch. As newcomers from Brazil, we arrived in Leuven with no prior knowledge of the language, and we were initially unsure of where to start. Thanks to your patience, dedication, and clear teaching, we quickly built a solid foundation in Dutch.Your lessons not only improved our language skills but also enriched our understanding of Belgian culture, which made our integration into the community much easier. You were always there to guide us, whether it was helping us organize our studies or answering our many questions with kindness.We truly appreciate the positive and encouraging learning environment you created. It was an absolute pleasure to be your students, and we are so grateful for everything you have taught us.Thank you once again for being such a wonderful teacher!<\/p>\n

Gerlinde was an incredible teacher. She helped me study and review Dutch for 6 months, she offered me help, study material and practical exercises to develop my language skills even further. I passed the ITNA with her help. And above all she is incredibly friendly and easy to talk to<\/p>\n

It is a pleasure to work with Gerlinde! As an expat originally from India and working for Atlas Copco, her knowledge of different languages (Dutch, French, English and Portugues) and capacity to relate Dutch words and phrases to these languages is irreplaceable. Her patience and focus on proper diction is been a huge benefit. This is the second time I’ve worked in Flanders, Belgium, and I’m finally starting to understand the local language. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n

My name is Maria, i am from Angola and i am already in Belgium since 2016. My experience with Gerlinde as a Dutch teacher was excellent. Besides learning the basics of the language, we also learned important cultural aspects such as integration. The most interesting thing is learning the language from a native speaker who also speaks our native language!<\/p>\n
