Extra information

Hello! My name is Alessandro. I'm 33 years old, live in Leiden, and am originally from Milan. I'm a linguist, trained at Leiden University, and have been teaching languages for nine years. I'm very familiar with the specific difficulties Italians face when learning Dutch, and I know how to explain them simply, logically, and without stress. I love music, history, and books, and I believe that you only truly master a language when you understand it thoroughly.

About Me

Ciao, ik ben Alessandro. Ik ben 33 jaar, woon in Leiden en kom oorspronkelijk uit Milaan. Ik ben taalkundige, afgestudeerd in Leiden, en geef al 9 jaar Italiaanse les. Muziek, geschiedenis en boeken spelen een grote rol in mijn leven en dat merk je ook in mijn lessen: taal is nooit los van cultuur, maar wordt altijd helder en toegankelijk uitgelegd.

Education

I studied languages and literature in Milan and completed a Research Master in Linguistics at Leiden University. My studies focused on how languages really work and how people actually learn them. This academic background allows me to explain Italian clearly, calmly, and logically—without stress, confusion, or boring theory.

Experience / Qualifications

I have over nine years of teaching experience and have helped more than 300 students learn Italian, both one-to-one and in small groups. I’m fully fluent in Dutch and English, and I tailor every lesson to the student. My focus is always clarity, confidence, and steady progress in a relaxed atmosphere.

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!

I provide lessons for the Nt2 Staatsexamen and Dutch Nationalisation exam (Inburgering examen)and Business Dutch for ex-pats and people who want to learn everyday Dutch. In the citizenship exam course, students learn about history, geography and basic vocabulary which are the contents of the exam. They learn how to respond to basic questions. Besides preparatory lessons for (Inburgering examen ,citizenship exam ,I teach Business Dutch( Zakelijk Nederlands) to expats. Online lessons are delivered through Google meet and Ms Teams and other online platforms. The lessons are conducted online as well as at a location in The Hague. Both private and group lessons are available.

I take pride in saying that all my students who I prepared for Dutch exams passed their exams with high scores:)

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.

The methodology chosen for my private lessons adapts to the specific needs of the student, from the youngest (learning to read) to the most experienced: preparation for an exam, a trip abroad, a reorientation professional, ... the courses can vary from a conversation table to a more academic structure emphasizing grammar, conjugation and vocabulary, or still be based on the theme of a particular professional sector.

Prepare in an efficient, intensive way for the ITNA (Interuniversity Language Test Dutch), based on tailor-made exercises.
We practice together on language in use, grammar and vocabulary, gap texts, structuring exercises, dictation, presentations and argumentation.

Would you like to learn Dutch at a different level (A1 - C1) or are you a native speaker with a specific question, be sure to check out my other lesson "Dutch for non-native speakers and native speakers".

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.

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.

Hello!

I am a teacher in Tokyo. My lessons are particularly suited for those who need to practice their pronunciation and/or their vocabulary.

My classes can also include cultural aspects of the language and Dutch society. They would be ideal to help with orientation before travelling or moving to The Netherlands. If you are interested in the country and its customs, please do not hesitate to contact me.

日本語少し出来ます。宜しくお願いいたします。

I offer Dutch lessons adapted to beginners as well as to people who already have some basic knowledge.

I have a B2 level in Dutch, validated by a certificate of achievement, which allows me to teach the language in a clear, structured and accessible way.

The goal is to make learning simple, progressive and motivating, by advancing step by step on the essential basics of the language.

Each course is structured around:

- useful everyday vocabulary
- Grammar explained simply
- basic conjugation
- oral and written comprehension
- Conversation exercises to quickly gain fluency

I adapt to the pace and objectives of each student (school, work or personal learning), in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.

The goal is to progress effectively while gaining confidence in speaking.
