Dutch and Flemish for all ages, tailored to your needs and taught in a fun way!

Dutch can be very stressful to learn because of its difficult grammar and many different accents. As a Belgian-born Dutch speaker who lived for 5 years in the Netherlands, I can teach you about all the different accents, pronunciations and I understand the hurdles of learning such a multi-faceted language. I have learned 5 languages myself now together with Latin and ancient Greek so I know exactly what it is like to struggle, to overcome low confidence, and the many pitfalls of learning a language.

Thus, I want to bring the Dutch language to you in an easy, fun, and accessible way tailored to your preferences and needs. Send me a message, tell me a little bit why you want to learn Dutch, who you are and we can set up a personalized program in a super friendly environment!

Cheers and tot later! See you later!

I think you are sweet and a gentle person. You are also flexible. You also adapt to the needs of many of the students. You also have an enthusiastic teacher.

Ashtanga Yoga can be daunting to try at first. It is known to be a powerful, strong type of yoga that is not very friendly to beginners or non-athletes. Nevertheless, I want to completely debunk that myth and take you through all the different asanas, step by step, tailored to your specific needs. I have worked in the past with people recovering from injuries such as a hernia or without knee ligaments, with people who haven't done sports in years as well as with professional dancers who just want to go a little deeper into a posture. Additionally, I have my 200HR Teacher Training Certificate endorsed by Manju Jois himself. I am happy to do a session as part of a series of private lessons, so I can understand what you want to improve or learn with Ashtanga, and how I can best help you with that. Unfortunately, for the moment I am only available online and not at my home location in Antwerp, Belgium.
Do you struggle with English? Do you need extra help with homework? Or do you need someone to help you get your English on point for a sales pitch? You are at the right address. I am a native English-Dutch speaker, and have done my entire university career in English as well. Currently, I am getting certified to become a TEFL Teacher. As such, I can bring you the experience of having used English all my life and the skills of a teacher and an academic. Please do not hesitate to reach out! I always take one lesson to completely break down what you need and how exactly I can help you along the way.
Are you a student struggling with the correct use of English in your essays, presentations, or even your thesis? Let me help you bring it to the next level! This class is especially useful for: - Non-native speakers who want to look more professional in their use of the English language at university, work, or school. - Those who want to bring their company/start-up to a higher level and need better English skills in order to work with partners abroad, whether through e-mail, giving sales pitches, or by using the right words. - Those who need help with writing essays and their thesis, particularly those who struggle with the right vocabulary and sentence structure. - Students or business people relocating for university or a job in which the English language will be the standard and want to feel more confident in the usage of the language in these contexts.

Teaching children until the age of 11 years old playfully Dutch
Teaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

Persian lessons / Dutch lessons for non-native speakers and (non-native) children
As non-Dutch speaking parents, it is certainly not easy to teach your children Dutch or help them become more fluent in the new language. Who wants some extra exercise for their kids? I would like to help you with that. As their vocabulary expands and their sentences become more fluent, your children will become more confident. A good command of the Dutch language is certainly to their advantage, both now and in the future. Do your children need some help with their homework, especially with their Dutch, then I can help with that. Even as non-native-speaking adults, it is sometimes difficult to have enough exercise. That is why adults who want to make progress in speaking the Dutch language are welcome here! We can practice the everyday language together. Conversing is the best way to learn a new language. Anyone want to learn Persian? Then I am here to help you with that. Here too, I mainly work on communication.

Dutch conversation for kids and adults, to read, to write and understand the language.
In our class we will be relaxed, I will help you with the Dutch conversation, the grammar, reading (like an article or a topic what I will give you). I will help students for beginners-lower-intermediate level. After every lesson I will give you homework for the next lesson. Between the two lessons you can always ask me a question about the subject what we’ve discussed. If you have a subject what you’d like to learn about the Dutch language, let me know. I’m looking forward to see you in my class.

Marcel
Dynamic Dutch courses with a smiling native speaker ;-)
I use several methods which are specially conceived to teach Dutch to people who have a different mother tongue. I really like to use methods out of the ordinary like role games or methods with which you learn while playing. All these adapted to the student's situation of course. As I learned myself a couple of other languages, it is easy for me to detect difficulties a student can encounter and adapt the way of learning. I can teach in English, French, German and Russian.

Rosemarie

Astrid
Dutch lessons for young professionals as well as academic/university support
Dutch is my mother tongue, I am Dutch and I suggest you improve your level of Dutch by focusing on conversation - pronunciation - learning to express yourself well - convincing shyness to speak. Of course also academic support - explanation of grammar - reading and understanding texts - writing and editing. Preparing for job interviews, raising the level of Dutch for professional use to a higher level, working with university students to prepare for their Dutch exams etc etc. I adapt my lessons to the needs of each student. With advanced students we discuss the news based on newspaper articles. I speak fluent French, English, and Italian. I am a lawyer by training with 30 years of experience in international business. The ultimate goal of my lessons: to love Dutch and prepare for your future!

Marcelo
Learn Dutch in a short time - experienced coach (24 years of experience) State Exam NT2 trainer - inspired to teach Dutch to expats
A qualified language coach with 24 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 24 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.
