Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you teach?
I teach online (via Zoom) and on location for companies within approximately 45 minutes of 's-Hertogenbosch.
Are you a certified Dutch teacher?
Yes. I am a certified Dutch language teacher, registered with the BVNT2. I received my postgraduate certificate (certificaat bekwaam NT2-docent) from Radboud University in Nijmegen. I am also a qualified primary school teacher.
Do you offer online or in-person classes?
I offer both online and in-person classes. Most of my classes are group lessons for language schools or for companies at their locations. I occasionally offer private lessons.
Check out my 'Courses' page for further information about my unique online individual selfstudy courses. After these courses, you can book a package of live group lessons on Zoom (check website for dates).
Who is MJNT2?
MJNT2 is short for Marie-José NT2. It is my business name. My full name is Marie-José Kruiskamp. I am a dedicated, experienced, BVNT2-certified teacher of Dutch as a second language (NT2 = Nederlands als Tweede Taal). I care about my students and take a personal approach to teaching.
What is your teaching method?
Students take language classes because they want to speak. That’s why I use TPRS 2.0 - a fun, proven, story-telling method that helps you become fluent faster.
I mainly work with my own story-based textbooks, but I always adapt the materials to your level, goals, and learning style. I have an extensive, up-to-date library of NT2 books from other publishers, so we will always choose what works best for you.
