“I think the most beautiful thing about my hometown is its Citadel, a historic fortress that gives name to this school. Ever since I can remember I have had a passion for teaching. I get happy every time when I see my students enjoy learning something new.”
“I studied Spanish at the UvA and also lived in Peru for two years. At Citadel I can combine two things that I really enjoy: the Spanish-speaking world and teaching Dutch. It gives me great pleasure to guide my students.”
“I discovered my passion for teaching already as a little girl, playing with my first blackboard and chalks. Teaching is always an adventure; every student and every day is different. For me, it is a real privilege to teach my language and culture to my students.”
“As a young girl it was very exciting to hear people speak a language I couldn’t understand. Learning a new language is amazing! It’s like learning to look at the world through a different lens.”
“Ever since I moved to the Netherlands in 2018, it has been a great pleasure for me to focus on teaching Spanish. It gives me great satisfaction when I see my students’ progress and their enthusiasm to get to know the rich Spanish and Latin American culture.”
“It has always been clear to me that I wanted to be a teacher. Today I can confirm that I love teaching my language and culture while I see my students enjoy the process. It makes me very happy to witness the progress they are making, and I learn something new from them every day.”
“At Citadel I combine teaching and creativity, two things that for me are closely related. I especially enjoy the interaction with the students and the good atmosphere of a room full of people wanting to learn. Therefore, the most important thing for me is to create a good atmosphere in which everyone feels comfortable and, above all, has fun!”
“I have always been very interested in languages and other cultures and I love being able to teach people about a language and the culture. One of the best things about teaching is seeing progress.”
“I studied Spanish language and culture. I have been teaching Dutch for 10 years and I love my job! Every student and every group is different, so I like to adapt so my students are able to learn Dutch with pleasure and a smile.”
“I have over ten years of experience teaching teenagers and adults at various proficiency levels. My focus is on creating a personalized and enjoyable learning experience. I love adapting my classes to the needs of my students, taking into account their age, interests, and learning pace.”
“I have been living in the Netherlands since 2009, where I learned to teach Spanish and Dutch as a foreign language. I have been enjoying teaching languages to adults and children for all these years. In my classes I try to bring out the best in everyone in a playful way.”
It is exciting to be a teacher because it allows me to be creative every day. Also, it is a privilege to pass on my language and culture. It makes me very happy to guide students in their learning process and make sure it is a fun and stimulating experience for everyone.
“I’ve always found it fascinating to learn other languages, and now I’m lucky enough to be able to teach them. One of the most beautiful things about these classes is getting to know other cultures, and what better way to do it than with my own students? Thanks to them, everybody gets to learn something new with each class, including me.”
“Already as a child I showed an affinity for the multiculturalism of my environment. So much so that years later I decided to leave my country and study linguistics in Leiden. I feel fortunate to be able to teach my language and to learn from my students every day. The cultural exchange in the classroom is so important… It’s like traveling without leaving the place.”
“I’ve always had a soft spot for languages. After finishing a bilingual secondary school and a university degree in Dutch, I started working as a teacher. In the meantime, I developed a great liking for Spanish and currently I am also studying to be a translator as well as teaching English. I love sharing my passion for languages with my students.”
