My name is Valérie. As a native speaker of French and Dutch and graduated as an interpreter of French/Dutch I give with great pleasure French language courses and Dutch for expats in Amsterdam/ Amstelveen for years to all different kinds of students. Lessons can also be followed online.

The lessons are given in French or Dutch and are mainly focused on speaking the language. They are therefore practically oriented. The lessons are tailor-made because I follow the wishes and goals of the students during the first lesson.

I think it is important that the student experiences pleasure in learning the language, it is and stays a way of communication!
Extra information
Online courses offer great flexibility and accessibility for learners everywhere they are! They can be just as effective as face-to-face ones thanks to professional platforms where learners have access to a variety of educational resources, such as interactive courses, practical exercises, videos, and more.

Hi!
My name is Bart and I have a passion for language and coaching/teaching. Having lived in several different countries I know how challenging it can be to learn a new language and to put it into practice. Especially Dutch, with it's unusual pronunciations and structures. During our lessons I will explain how to deal with such issues and show you that Dutch is actually quite a structured language and a lot less complicated that often suggested.

I am a positive and optimistic person and this is also how I teach. I focus on how to do things right rather than wasting energy on why things are wrong. This creates a nice learning atmosphere and it also makes the course much more productive. I like to have an open communication with my students and encourage them to let me know what their difficulties are and what they want to improve.

When learning a language it is very important that you can quickly put into practice what you have learned. This naturally motivates you to learn more. For that reason I find it important that it is clear from the beginning what the language needs and wishes of my students are so we can work towards your goals in an effective way and make sure you are able to apply what you have learned as soon as possible.

The reason why I like teaching so much is because I enjoy showing people what they are capable of and to help them develop their skills. Another reason is that it allowes me to open the door for you to a great language and culture!

The content of the lesson depends on what the student / pupil needs. If he or she wants to learn how to write or spell better, or would like guidance with homework or with making a paper, a book summary or a speaking assignment, then I would like to help. I also like to give writing advice for an essay or story written by the student / pupil.

I work at an international language school and I teach Dutch to mainly expats.
My focus is on pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. It is important for language proficiency to keep practicing regularly, which is why I give homework after the lesson. By mainly speaking and doing role plays, I get a lot out of my students and they gain more confidence in speaking the language.

My approach to teaching is to make things fun. In that emotional state learning is easiest. Of course I have my Epic Grammar Trilogy, but we'll focus on speaking and pronunciation first. The dutch G is my favourite letter to pronounce; hopefully you'll sound like an espresso machine too in the foreseeable future!

1. You'll learn the basics of Spanish in an interactive and practical way. This prepares you for a trip to Spain or Latin America, where I've traveled, worked, and lived extensively. Through my experience, I know which phrases, words, and sayings are frequently used. A complete preparation! (Very useful for school, too.)

2. You'll learn to improve your basic Spanish. We'll work on common mistakes by role-playing conversations in various settings. This is done in a lighthearted and informal way, with a strict focus on the content of your Spanish. (Useful for school and work)

A warm welcome. I am happy to help students on their way to an agreed final result. After the introduction, I will delve into the specific material and methods used at the school and get to work on the challenges at hand.
