Hey there! I’m Madeleine. I was born and raised in the vibrant city of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. After spending about five years in New York studying opera and linguistics, my passion for language and culture took me on an unforgettable adventure to Amsterdam! I first came to Amsterdam on an aupair visa, but almost as soon as I arrived, I absolutely fell in love with the city’s charm. Now I’m so happy to call it home!

With years of experience teaching children, I truly enjoy being in the classroom and getting to know my students. I believe that learning a language is not just about grammar and vocabulary, but also about making meaningful connections. I’m excited to help you on your language journey, and I can’t wait for us to learn and grow together!
