Our tutors

Isabel Djini

Isabel founded ID Language School in the late summer of 2014, after working individually as a tutor, interpreter and translator since April 2000. Born in a little Dutch town, next to the German border, in a Yugoslav family, Isabel grew up surrounded by three languages. At home, Dutch was the leading language. From an early age she was fascinated by other cultures and languages and, as part of that fascination, she learnt seven languages but rediscovered her love for Dutch in 2013. Isabel loves working with people, and always tries to combine books with lively practice. Music, nature and cultural activities are part of her own set curriculum.

Anneke van Rosse

Because of this Anneke is well aware how it is to start all over again, may it be in a foreign country, or in a completely different part of the country. It is not just learning a new language, it is also about learning a new culture and all that there is to it.

Anneke has over 10 years experience in training and started with ID Language School during the winter of 2022.
