Dutch Classes for Expats / Basic Civil Integration Exam

From 23 £ /h

Hello! I’m Mahmood and I currently live in Gouda (South-Holland). I came to The Netherlands some time ago. As an Expat I know how tough it is to learn a new language, especially the Dutch language with its tough pronunciations and sentence structures. Being an Expat I understand much better what the challenges are that other Expats needs to go through to learn Dutch

I am specialized in preparing Expats and other immigrants for the Basic Civil Integration Examination (Basisexamen Inburgering). I can also teach about the Dutch social culture and History of The Netherlands.

Also I teach Dutch till A2 level or to the people who like to learn Dutch as a hobby.

I teach one on one as well as to Groups (I provide discount for Groups).

What can I teach you? :
- Read and Write in Dutch
- Sound like a Native Speaker
- Participate in Basic Conversations and Use Daily Phrases
- Understand and Pick Up on Basic Conversations

My method of teaching:

i) Starting discussion
At the start, we will discuss your level and objectives. This way I can efficiently give you the help that you need.

ii) Open communication
I have an open way of teaching in which I encourage students to keep telling me what their difficulties are or where they would like to improve. In my experience, this saves a lot of time and also makes the lessons more fun.

iii) Simplify instead of complicate
I am good at listening and understanding why students are having difficulties with certain issues. The thing in which I’m best is explaining complicated things in a simple way.

A qualified language coach with 25 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.

I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.

In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).

We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.

My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.

Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.

This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.

I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 25 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.

I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

To live and reside in the Netherlands a certain level of Dutch is not only handy but also necessary if you want to have a job. As part of the process to become a Dutch national, you need a basic level of Dutch, being A1 to B2.

I am a certified Dutch teacher with 8 years of teaching experience. Besides teaching Dutch to Dutch high -school students in the years 1- 4 mavo/ havo/ vwo, I also have extensive experience teaching Dutch to expats/ foreigners.
I am therefore familiar with the “inburgeringsexamen” and the NT2 curriculum (Dutch for foreigners) for those who want to reside in the Netherlands.

I am very knowledgeable and teach with passion, creativity and enthousiasm. I love the Dutch language and teaching it to others, as well as interacting with all types of cultures and age ranges.

I like to keep it varied - a fun lesson but with loads of grammar improvement, vocabulary but also games to consolidate these. Lessons are tailor-made to what you want. I use several books and methods to make your lesson topnotch. I teach online via Zoom or here in my home. Every lesson of 50 min I sent all details home so you can revise what we have done and you can see your homework.

I am a Certified Teacher of Dutch as an Additional Language and I have a University Degree in teaching Dutch Language and Literature from Leiden University. I have specialized in teaching Dutch as a Second Language at Hogeschool Amsterdam.

I have lived abroad for 17 years so know a lot of living abroad. Having been an expatriate myself I like teaching people from other cultures. I speak good English and have some understanding of German, French and Spanish.
I have been teaching Dutch since 1995 in the States - in Iowa - and since 2016 in Leiden - when I came back from living in Scotland, South East Asia and the States - in my own little company Doses of Dutch. Since 2019 I teach two groups of students in Wassenaar for four mornings a week as well.

Usually people buy a package of ten lessons.

I provide Dutch tutoring, for example in reading comprehension, vocabulary, and spelling. I also teach the Dutch language: conversation, spelling, grammar, reading, and NT2 (Dutch as a Second Language). I listen carefully to what is needed and adapt my lessons accordingly. I am a patient, flexible, and friendly person, and I like a lighthearted atmosphere in class.

Do you need help learning Dutch/NT2? Do you or your child need extra help and support in the Dutch language, in speaking, listening, writing, reading, spelling... I am an experienced Dutch teacher. I have a personal, patient approach and I offer a mixture of fun and seriousness during my lessons.I have plenty of lesson- and exercise material.

Do you want extra support with mathematics in the lower grades of pre-university education and upper grades of senior general secondary education or
in math and language at primary school? For example, for your school advice?
I have a lot of experience with tutoring. The lessons can also be given online if desired, or somewhere in a public location that is convenient. Students on their way to their cito test for math and language, or for their school tests can come to me.

I have taught English, Dutch, German, History and Geography to children of all ages, but primarily high school students. However, through this platform, I hope I will get the chance to work with different age groups as well! Next to private tutoring, I have also been employed as a homework counselor and supervisor during my undergrad years. I currently have lots of free time, so I'm very eager to get started on something with you and help you get to where you want to be!

Hello! My name is Robert and I teach Dutch to expats who want to feel more confident speaking Dutch in everyday life and at work.

My lessons are practical, structured and relaxed. We focus on real communication, so you learn how Dutch people actually speak. Many of my students live and work in the Netherlands and want to improve their Dutch faster.

I enjoy helping students feel more comfortable using Dutch in real situations.

In my lessons we work on:
• speaking and pronunciation
• vocabulary and sentence structure
• grammar explained in a simple way
• understanding Dutch culture and communication

I use conversations, short texts and practical exercises so that students quickly gain confidence in speaking.

My lessons are suitable for:
• expats living in the Netherlands
• professionals who want to use Dutch at work
• students preparing for the inburgering exam
• learners who want to improve their speaking skills

Levels: A1 – A2 – B1 – B2 – C1 - C2

A typical lesson (60 minutes) includes:
• a short conversation
• explanation of new words or grammar
• speaking practice
• homework, exercises and feedback

Students usually speak a lot during the lesson, because speaking is the fastest way to improve a language.

Besides books, I also create my own teaching materials and articles, which makes the lessons more engaging and relevant to life in the Netherlands.

Would you like to improve your Dutch and feel more confident speaking it? Feel free to send me a message. I will be happy to discuss your goals and help you make progress.

I give personal and practical Dutch lessons to adults at levels A0–A2. The lessons are suitable for people starting from scratch, but also for students who already understand some Dutch and want to gain more confidence in speaking and understanding it.

During the lessons, we work on speaking, listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading, and basic grammar. We immediately practice new words and grammatical structures in recognizable situations from daily life and work. We also listen to short dialogues and practice how Dutch sounds in real conversations.

For example, we practice:

Introduce yourself and talk about your family;
make appointments;
grocery shopping and understanding prices;
time, days and months;
housing and transport;
health and contact with the general practitioner;
conversations with colleagues and customers;
simple WhatsApp messages and emails.

No two students are the same. That is why I tailor the lessons to your level, pace, profession, and personal goals. In addition to structured lesson material, I use extra exercises and assignments that align with situations where you need Dutch.

You receive clear explanations, plenty of repetition, interactive exercises, and personalized homework with feedback.

My goal is not only for you to learn and understand Dutch, but also to dare to use it increasingly independently and with more confidence in the Netherlands.
