Student Reviews
Our past students speak with great praise about their experiences with Nederles. We have collected their feedback in the form of reviews. We proudly share this collection below.
«It was great to have Linda and her team supporting me all the way.
It taught me to be patient with myself and not be afraid to try.
She helped me to get prepared for the exam and to understand the Dutch people and their culture.
After 19 years of marriage, I can finally understand my husband.»

«I took the class with Linda and successfully passed the exam.
I can confidently say that the class was very useful and important.
The class material was very well organized and covered important and relevant topics.
Linda's methodology makes learning fun and enjoyable.
The class is suitable for everybody, even for people with no background in Dutch.»

«Linda is one of very few great teachers that I’ve ever met.
Besides being well knowledgeable and a professional teacher, Linda is an influential and passionate person who develops inspiring relationships with her students.
Her ability to connect with students and her structured way of teaching complex language are truly superior.
In less than a month, I was able to understand and speak in Dutch.
I couldn't be more proud.
Linda uses all means of teaching methods to make the learning journey full of excitement and fun.
I really enjoyed every second in class.»

«Before I started the course, I knew it would help me to prepare for my exams, but it turned out to be even better than I expected.
With an experienced teacher as Linda, you will succeed for the inburgeringsexamen no matter how little Dutch you know.
I started knowing only a few things about the Dutch language and culture and within a few days I started talking Dutch and understanding a lot.
Linda is an involved, experienced and very kind teacher.
She makes the lessons pleasant with her good sense of humour, and helps every individual with the difficulties he/she faces.
I passed all of my exams thanks to Linda's courses and I am very thankful.»
~Abdelrahman, 2016
«I am grateful for all Linda's support, guidance, and encouragement which played a big role in me passing my Naturalisation exam.
She truly is a great and natural teacher, who instills confidence in her students to achieve what they think is impossible.
That is what I felt when I started the course and here I'm today with a lot of joy and happiness for her time and help.»
~Abu, November 2015
«Surprisingly after 4 weeks of class I could really speak Dutch.
Without Linda and her team, I don't think I would have been able to pass the exam.
I just got the formal confirmation that I am now a Dutch citizen.
Our class really came together as a team.
We worked together and supported each other, which made a big difference.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Linda and team.
You have given me a life-time gift.»

«I studied with Linda for my Civic Exam in order to go through the family reunion process and join my wife in Holland.
I had a deadline where I needed to finish and she managed to make me pass within that deadline and with great results.
My results even allowed me to skip one of the required 'inburgering' exams in Holland.
She was very encouraging and motivating, and she focused on exactly what was needed for that specific exam.»
~Khaled, 2015
«I had Dutch classes with Linda and was very happy with the results.
She was very much focused on my development.
She knew exactly what I needed and where to improve.
I enjoyed every class and looked forward to the next.
Eventually I moved from a very basic level where I was not able to converse in Dutch to an intermediate level, and in a very warm environment.»
~Tamara, 2015
«Linda delivers the content of her course in a way that sets you up to succeed
— as long as you put in the work.
She is inspiring, she knows how to teach, and she cares about the success of her students leading them through weekly writing exercises, and providing individual feedback.
I finished this class more than pleased with the results.
Textbooks can prescribe learning basics, but there’s no replacement for a teacher who can show you the most efficient path to develop your new skill.
If that’s what you’re looking for, I think you’ll appreciate Linda’s course.»
~Ziad, Spring 2014, Dubai
«I had a window of almost 45 days to appear at the exam for naturalization.
I had never spoken Dutch in my entire life, but after 10 days of learning with Nederles I was able to understand & pronounce the words of the Dutch language.
There is no shortcut to everything, but with the help of Linda I was able to achieve success in a very short time.»
