En nu Nederlands language school is a partnership of two teachers. Anja Sligter is one of them. In 2011 she graduated from the post-Higher Vocational Education training for teachers of Dutch as a second language (Nederlands als tweede taal or NT2) of VU University Amsterdam and Windesheim University of Applied Sciences. There she obtained a thorough theoretical basis as well as her teaching qualification.
Since then she has taught illiterates and Integration exam candidates in Arnhem, Rotterdam and Amsterdam, as well as State exam candidates in Zwolle. She is also the tutor of the general manager of an international group whom she teaches the basics of Dutch, so that he can get by in daily life in the Netherlands.
Anja is a creative teacher who realizes that only 15 percent of the teaching material sticks when being taught the oldfashioned way (frontal and in class). She is therefore constantly looking for creative ways of teaching and learning that yield more result and concentration and are more fun.
Anja started of her working career as a journalist. She worked for newspapers and magazines for 23 years, ten years of which with the Volkskrant.
