My customers
My customers are people that work at most different companies, businesses and organisations, sometimes even private individuals.
The students of those companies that follow training courses with me in Dutch as a foreign language, all wish to learn very good Dutch in order to be able to find a good job or start their own business. Or they already have a job where they wish to function even better.
They struggle with language and culture: they meet many strange things in this new country and they wish to learn how to deal with them. They are people, that had a good job or ran a business in their country of origin and that wish to be successful here as well.
The students that come to follow training courses in another language, wish to learn that language in order to communicate even better with their customers or other business relations. They wish to learn how to do their job in the best way in another language and cultural setting.
And this is how they feel about the training courses:
Dutch as a second language:
“The atmosphere is always positive and we learned a lot about the Dutch language and culture in a short time.”
A group of private students from Wageningen
A French engineer at Marin
“I'm so happy with the clear explication of the Dutch grammar rules and with the practical speaking exercises! Now I'm much more self-assured and I write very good letters. ”
A German secretary at eismann, who had been the CEO at a large media company in Germany
Greek:
“Sophia's lessons are about the Greek language and the culture. After a series of courses we're perfectly prepared for living there. ”
Two expats that followed 3 weeks of intensive courses
“I don't just speak Greek, but now I can also write faxes and email messages! That is indispensable in order to receive my orders quickly. ”
The owner of Magrico, a small business that exports food from Greece
“Sophia knows many ways to learn a language, also for people that prefer learning a language by hearing”
Prima Milieu
French:
“We exercised the French language very practically and read articles from the media about my specialisation, so that I very soon knew all the words that I needed. ”
SV-Support
“I had a B for French after the lessons with Sophia, while I only needed an E!”
a high-school student from Wageningen
German and English:
“The training courses in technical German and English that Sophia organised for us, go very well and the trainers are very professional”
