“I reached out to Mirsada for help with my A2 prep. At that time, my Dutch knowledge was limited to very simple greetings, and I needed to reach A2 within a month due to visa requirements. We set an ambitious goal: passing the A2 exam after just a 25-hour course – something that initially seemed nearly impossible. Mirsada designed a fully personalized program that not only helped me learn Dutch from scratch but also focused specifically on the A2 exam. Thanks to her organized guidance, exam-focused practice, and the abundant resources she provided. I successfully passed all five exams (listening, speaking, reading, writing, and KNM) on my very first attempt – within just one month. She was always extremely well-prepared, flexible with my schedule, and committed to giving me the best chance to succeed. I am genuinely thankful for her professionalism, adaptability, and support. Thanks to Mirsada, I achieved something I initially believed was impossible.” – Anh, Vietnam

“I used Mirsada from Key to Dutch to mentor me the through the ONA process. She was amazing ! – knowledgeable, friendly, and gave great feedback throughout the process. At the same time she helped me improve my Dutch. I would highly recommend her as a mentor and a Teacher.” – Robin, South Africa

“I reached out to Mirsada to help me prepare for the speaking and writing exam as I had only 5 months left to pass my last 2 exams for the inburgering process. I have tried online and classroom courses before but they did not prepare for the exams. I was really not ready to write or speak Dutch when we started. Mirsada put together a customized 3 month plan to get me ready for the exams. I passed both exams the first time and made the deadline! She was very patient and supportive throughout the process. I could not have done this without her support. Bravo Mirsada!” – Peter, United States

“Learning Dutch with Mirsada was extremely fun and very manageable. As a teacher, she was able to evaluate my capabilities very quickly and tailor the lessons to my personal needs to help me quickly progress with my Dutch. She was always super prepared, and also very adaptable to my schedule. She provided a plethora of resources and materials to help me practice which certainly helped me pass the NT2 exams. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Dutch skills– not only because she structured the lessons well– but also because she creates a very welcoming and non-judgmental atmosphere to support her students’ learning. :)” – Livia, Germany

“I had two courses with Mirsada. At that point, I was looking for an intensive course to prepare me for the official NT2 examen. Her course offered everything I needed, which is why I chose to study with her. Apart from her excellent skills in teaching Dutch to a non Dutch-speaker as myself, I was also impressed by her friendliness and never give-up attitude on her students. She was well prepared and invested plenty of extra hours apart from the time in the course itself, and she was always available in case I had any questions. We set the goal for passing the NT2 examen after 2 full courses, and YES, I did it – all thanks to Mirsada for her dedication, guidance and excellent support!  :)” – Pum, Thailand

“I contacted Key to Dutch because I needed some help with preparation for Inburgering exam. I thought that private lessons would be more useful because I followed two different courses before and I found it not very optimal to study Dutch in the group. All students have a different pace, different backgrounds and you don’t get much attention from the teacher there. Besides that my primary goal was to pass Inburgering exam asap, I could not find any courses which would specialize only on exam preparation.

“Mirsada’s patience and personality, along with the small group, made the lessons really individual and enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back again for the next level and would really recommend Key to Dutch for anyone thinking about Dutch lessons.” – Rachel, England

“It is the first time that I am really satisfied with a language course. The small size of the group is just right, to have enough opportunities to speak, and also interact with others in dutch. My class was in the evening and even though I was tired after work, the time flew by – just because I enjoyed it so much. 
Mirsada is a very good teacher with profound knowledge and great interpersonal skills while being very easy going!! She is very dedicated to her work and would rather spend extra time on explaining things than finishing a class early.” – Magda, Austria

“Thanks a lot Mirsada!!!! Not only I passed my test but I also enjoyed studying with you, specially talking about everything in Dutch!!!!!” – Gabriel, Argentina

“During the courses with Mirsada it was the first time I had fun learning Dutch. Each course felt like meeting a group of old friends. I loved the fact that we were only ever allowed to speak Dutch to each other, because it made it all feel a bit more real, and it made me realize that it’s doable. She took time to figure out the needs of each student separately, and encouraged me to get more in touch with everyday Dutch- listen to the radio, read a book (she gave me my first two dutch literature books!), speak whenever I can. There was a consistency in the course, and we were gradually encouraged to talk more. The group was very small (4students), and we always had enough time to round up the course. Also, she was very flexible with taking an extra half hour if needed or arranging an extra lesson free of charge. I think Mirsada is a great teacher because she managed to make me look forward to going to class.” – Persefoni, Greece

“What I especially liked during my courses with Mirsada was her individual approach to the students. I guess, this is what makes her courses so different. While you learn Dutch, she learns YOU! So you speak about things that attract YOU, you watch the videos that are interesting for YOU, and as the lessons go, you feel more and more that you actually build your own course. I highly doubt that Mirsada has two different students who followed exactly the same course material. Personally, I came for the Beginners course, but in the end we covered some parts of the Intermediate book  as well, and nearly half of the time we discussed different articles that I read in newspapers. After this “hybrid” course, I could proceed directly to the Advanced one. And this is exactly what I am talking about.

As a teacher, she has it all: sometimes she is a good actor, other times she is serious, always perceptive and open-minded, constantly preserving a cozy atmosphere. This altogether helps you to “break the ice” and to realize that it is actually even possible to understand all those weird sounds that people around you produce, not to mention that you will soon find yourself producing somewhat similar sounds…” – Dmitry, Israel
