My name is Stephan Suskalov, and I’m a bilingual language teacher with over 17 years of experience teaching Dutch and Russian to students from around the world. I grew up in the Netherlands in a Russian-speaking family, which gave me early insight into how languages are learned in real life. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animation and Design from Avans University and am a CRKBO-certified instructor. Drawing on my own experience learning languages like French, Spanish, and Mandarin, I founded PocketDutch to help learners speak Dutch with clarity, confidence, and structure.
