About the author

Heleen Polter graduated in General Linguistics and in Business Economics at the University of Amsterdam. She has been teaching Dutch as a second language since 1974 with an interval of 10 years in which she worked as a teacher in Economics. Afterwards, she couldn’t work with the current methods because they lacked most answers to the questions her students had. Therefore, she developed her own learning pathway, Jump into Dutch, in the books Conversational Dutch 1 and 2.

Heleen is a creative and empathetic teacher, a real professional. Her method is detailed and easy to understand; my favorite part are the exercises. I feel comfortable with Dutch now because I can focus on the communication after having considered what to say. I ‘ve enjoyed every lesson!
