Why do I teach? Because of my passion for languages, my interest in other cultures and the immense satisfaction I get from helping other people. With great dedication and patience, I work with each student to identify what they need and what motivates them. I use humour to put students at ease and give them the space to express themselves in the language they\u2019re learning. I teach the language to students in various creative ways, taking their learning style and interests into account. After all, you don\u2019t have to learn a language solely from a book; you can also learn through songs, videos, websites and conversations about topics that interest you.<\/p>\n<p>Before joining Babel, I also worked as a teacher in Amsterdam. I regularly go on holiday to England to enjoy lovely walks or visit family. I also travel regularly to Italy, where I have family living there too. I love being surrounded once again by the languages I find so beautiful when I\u2019m in those countries.<\/p>\n<h3>Education and training<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.babel.nl\/en\/course\/dutch\/elementary-dutch-a\/\">Elementary Dutch course (A0 \u2192 A2)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.babel.nl\/en\/course\/dutch\/elementary-dutch-course-a0-a1\/\">Elementary Dutch course (A0 \u2192 A1)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.babel.nl\/en\/course\/dutch\/intermediate-dutch-b1\/\">Intermediate Dutch (A2 \u2192 B1)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.babel.nl\/en\/course\/dutch\/upper-intermediate-dutch-b2\/\">Upper-Intermediate Dutch (B1 \u2192 B2)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.babel.nl\/en\/course\/dutch\/advanced-dutch-c1\/\">Advanced Dutch (B2+ \u2192 C1)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.babel.nl\/en\/course\/dutch\/preparation-course-state-exam-nt2-i\/\">State Exam NT2 I Preparation<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.babel.nl\/en\/course\/dutch\/course-medical-dutch-b2\/\">Course Dutch B2+ for medical professions (including exam)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.babel.nl\/en\/course\/english\/english-pre-intermediate-a2\/\">English Pre-Intermediate course (A1 \u2192 A2)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.babel.nl\/en\/course\/english\/english-intermediate-b1\/\">English Intermediate (A2 \u2192 B1)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.babel.nl\/en\/course\/english\/english-upper-intermediate-b2\/\">English Upper-Intermediate (B1 \u2192 B2)<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Students\u2019 experiences<\/h3>\n<p>Read what students have to say about Susanna\u2019s lessons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cSusanna was kind, relaxed and patient.
