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

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.

My name is Ségolène (26 years old). I have a double degree from KULeuven with a Master of Business Administration (NL/EN) as well as the agrégation (Educatieve Master). I worked for 2 years in insurance and currently work at Odoo.

My mother tongue is French, but from a very young age, I was educated in Dutch, which allowed me to become perfectly bilingual. I love supporting my students and seeing them progress. I offer academic support in any subject but also to help them learn how to learn, become better organized, and gain confidence.

MY EXPERIENCE :

I helped several students to pass the CE1D exam in Dutch (written, oral, listening comprehension). In addition, I also assisted students with their homework and for various subjects at secondary level (Maths, Handel (commerce), Sciences: WO, NW...).
Finally, it is also possible for younger children to learn Dutch in a fun way (language games, educational games).

During a test carried out on the CLL site to assess my level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 or C2), I obtained the result C2: "The student expresses himself appropriately in n' any situation, by dominating the linguistic and cultural elements proper to a native speaker and by knowing how to distinguish shades of meaning."

My goal is to restore confidence, explain things differently when necessary, and turn challenges into real successes. I primarily prepare students for the CE1D exam. First, we work together on each skill assessed during this test. Then, I guide the student through the practice of all these skills so they can approach the exam in its entirety with confidence and method.

I’m a passionate Dutch language trainer and certified coach who helps adults improve their communication skills in a professional context. Since 2014, I have been teaching Dutch to employees, managers and university staff in Brussels and beyond — always with a focus on clarity, confidence and authenticity.

My lessons are interactive, tailored to each learner’s goals and filled with real-life situations such as meetings, emails, small talk and presentations. As a coach, I integrate tools that build self-awareness and motivation, helping learners overcome fear or hesitation when speaking a new language.

I believe that learning a language is not just about grammar and vocabulary — it’s about expressing who you are. That’s why I combine language training with coaching techniques to create a safe and positive learning environment where progress happens naturally.

You propose a private course in the Netherlands (conversation and grammar) at the same level as the first level: the débutant at confirmation, for a secondary and superior level of knowledge, and for the whole person to be part of the language.

The method of articulating the axes principally, according to the principle:

1. Cours théoriques : apprendre ou parfaire ses connaissances de la langue à l'aide d'exercices de grammaire (conjugaison, construction de phrases), enrichir son vocabulaire.

2. Cours de conversation : entrainer à pratiquer la langue à partir de textes qui traitent de l'actualité ou de jeux de role.

You choose the appropriate adapter, the rhythm and the specific characteristics of the environment, to create a convivial atmosphere and the apprentissage.

A propos de moi :

Dutchophone de naissance, j'ai grandi aux Pays-Bas avant de déménager en Belgique où je vis depuis maintenant plus de quarante ans.

Since I am young, I appreciate my foreign languages (Français, English, et al.) and my interest in their features; It is important to note that this is an excellent understanding of the general manner of the business, but also helps to facilitate the development of the new language.

Since we are young, we have a tendency to accumulate experience and experience in the long term, and also continue to develop our individual collectives, young and old.

Depending on the student's level, the objectives to be achieved, but also their strengths and weaknesses, we establish a working method together.
Most often, the lesson focuses on identifying and clarifying grammar points that need review (inversion, enjambment, tenses, agreement, Dutch syntax, etc.), and on practice exercises. I also frequently assign small homework assignments for the following lesson, as language learning requires consistent effort.
If possible, we end the lesson with a short conversation on the topic of the day.
