Dutch online teacher Mirjam introduces herself: My name is Mirjam Veld. I’m a passionate teacher that works in Uganda. I live here together with my husband and our two daughters. Besides Dutch for Children, I also work for the Dutch school in Kampala. In the past few years, I have gained experience in both learning a new language and maintaining the native language.
I enjoy the challenge of having to adjust my lessons to each individual student. I do this by connecting their interests and learning styles within the lessons. I worked in secondary education in the Netherlands during my first years after graduation. I found this a fun group to teach, but I greatly enjoyed teaching the kindergarten kids.
