Learning the Dutch language with some culture, history, and humor

From 17.74 £ /h

It is a 2-hour class, and every time we go through half a chapter of the study book. You do 3 hours of online homework and then the next class we go through the second half of the chapter. After 10 classes we finish 5 chapters. After 20 classes we finish the book.

I will first have an intake conversation with the student to assess which level he should start.

My teaching style is a mix of learning, Dutch culture, Dutch history and some light humor. I do not want you to feel the 2 hour class. I want you to feel immersed in my native language.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies.
It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture.

I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

I'm a Natural Sciences student at the University of Birmingham looking to tutor science or maths online over the summer. I can tutor any level from KS1 - GCSE for physics, and KS1 - A Level for chemistry, biology, and maths. I aim to give confidence and enjoyment in the subject, working with my student's own interests as well as following a syllabus. I am flexible to work with what you want to achieve.

I have two years tutoring experience, especially with home-educated children, and can provide references if needed. I am DBS checked with GirlGuiding UK.

Newly arrived in Tunisia ? and fed up with using Google translator, hand gestures and poor miming skills to just get by everyday? I'm offering my help to teach you Tunisian Dialect. With simple methods and tools, you'll learn how to express yourself and mingle with tunisians in no time.
Together we'll make learning tunisian dialect a fun experience.

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.

My name is Ron, a dedicated Dutch tutor based in Suriname. Originally trained as an HVAC engineer with the intention of continuing my father’s legacy, I transitioned into teaching during the pandemic after discovering my passion for language education. This shift allowed me to embrace remote work while connecting with learners globally. With a friendly and adaptable approach, I prioritize creating engaging, personalized lessons that foster confidence in conversational Dutch. Outside of teaching, I take pride in my family life as a happily married professional who finds fulfillment in helping others achieve their language goals.

My name is Arjen. I tutor and give exam training in math and physics for upper secondary education (Dutch HAVO/VWO, IB, or other similar programmes). As an Aerospace Engineer, I help students not only with solving problems, but especially with understanding the “why” behind the theory.

I start with a short diagnosis: where is the real difficulty? Based on this, I create a personal learning plan that I share with the student. In this way we work in a focused way on those areas where most is to be gained. During the sessions, the focus is on recognizing structure and analyzing problems step by step, so that students become more independent and their confidence gets a boost.

In my explanations, I regularly use examples from technology and engineering. By linking abstract theory to real applications, it becomes clearer where the mathematics or physics comes from and what it is needed for, and things often suddenly “click”.

I can give lessons both at home and via an online connection. In the latter case, I do this using a tablet, allowing you to follow my explanations and examples live on your screen.

After the the lessons, I create personal practice exercises when needed, tailored to the student’s level and learning goals. In this way, we work not only towards better results in the short term, but also towards a strong foundation for future studies.

In today’s globalized world, speaking multiple languages is an important advantage for academic success, international careers, travel, and cultural exchange. English, German, and Dutch are among the most valuable languages for communication in Europe and around the world, opening doors to professional opportunities, higher education, and meaningful connections across different cultures.
English, Dutch and German are, for example the most sought after in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and other European countries and are positioned as the strongest asset on the job market.

My personalized language classes are designed for students of all levels, from beginners to advanced learners. The lessons are adapted to each student’s goals, whether for daily conversation, professional communication, exam preparation, relocation, travel, or academic improvement.

Students will develop essential language skills including speaking, listening, reading, writing, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. The classes focus on practical communication and confidence-building through interactive exercises, real-life situations, conversation practice.

My teaching approach is supportive, dynamic, and student-centered, creating a comfortable learning environment where each student can progress at their own pace while developing fluency and confidence in the language they choose to learn.
