Language teacher
MY TIME AS A LECTURER OF
International communication
As a lecturer of Intercultural Communication at Hanze University in Groningen, I developed course materials and taught students from all over the world. I love creating a space where theory meets real-life experience—through multicultural group projects, case studies, and cultural debates.
I have facilitated conflict management and mediation workshops, to help students navigate cultural misunderstandings. I have supported students during internships abroad, and guided them through the process of reverse culture shock when returning home.
Both as a language teacher as well as an intercultural consultant, I find it a joy to be part of a process where people from different backgrounds learn to understand each other better, question their own norms, and stay open and curious about other perspectives and values.
Ik ben Emma
I’m from Dutch and Irish roots and live in Granada, Spain. I teach Dutch as a foreign language and have a background as a university lecturer, with a focus on intercultural communication.
Living abroad with my daughter has taught me how challenging it can be to find your way in a new culture – and how important language is in that process. My lessons are all about speaking, using practical Dutch, and understanding the culture that comes with it.

“I was looking for more than just grammar: a native speaker who could correct my pronunciation, and Dutch content that I could use every day. Something useful to start feeling integrated in Nederland! Emma is perfect!! I love her dynamic classes, and she always teaches us a new phrase to use.”

¨Emma is an excellent teacher; she has a very personalized approach. She answers all your questions and she helped me a lot with pronunciation and grammar. Besides knowing Dutch and English, she also understands Spanish, which made her classes very productive.¨
