Dynamic Dutch courses with a smiling native speaker ;-)

From 34 £ /h

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.

About Me

Hello, my name is Marcel, I am Dutch and I love languages. I really enjoy teaching languages or practicing them either by speaking, reading or writing. I have lived in several different European countries and have met a lot of different people with different accents. I learned French in France, but now I've been living in Brussels for 20 years. Today I speak French fluently, but it didn't happen overnight, so I know the difficulties of learning another language. I am married and a father of two children (14 and 11) whom I educate in Dutch. As they grow up in a predominantly French-speaking environment, I see and work with them the problems they encounter. I also take Russian lessons (so I know what it's like to be a student). I can teach in French, English, German, Russian and of course in Dutch :-) Looking forward to meeting you!

Education

I studied in the Netherlands where I lived until I had the of 23. I did the equivalent of a graduate in tourism there - for two years I have been training as a coach.

For motivated students who want to learn French with a smile ;-)

I like to use different methods to teach French to students. It can be through songs, drama, role play or videos. I also very often use situations close to the student's experience, such as describing places they have been or talking about what they have experienced. At the same time, I teach the grammar rules to the student. I now live in regions where French has been spoken for over 30 years. Because I have learned French myself (and I am still learning other languages), I can easily put myself in a student's shoes. I can teach in French, Dutch, English, German and Russian.

My name is Serdane and I offer Dutch lessons to secondary school students and adults who find it difficult to develop a way of working that suits them. Extroverted and bubbly...and above all, a lot of humor!

Everyone learns in their own way. Some people learn languages intuitively by engaging in conversations. Others need rigorous exposure to grammatical concepts before launching into practice...in short, there are as many ways to learn as there are students! This is why I do not adopt a rigid method, but rather I adapt to the specificities of each student. I assess their level, their strengths, their possible weaknesses or delays, and I adjust my course accordingly. My priority is to give confidence to the student: Dutch is accessible to everyone when it is taught well!

I believe in the effectiveness of active teaching methods: I encourage student participation as much as possible, guiding them to discover what works best for them. This ultimately allows him to continue his learning independently.

My areas of expertise:
- Enhancement
- catching up
- Grammar reviews
- Conversation course
- Work method (organization, schedule of revisions, etc.)
- Support for beginners

My price includes complete academic support (private lessons, possibility of asking questions outside of class hours, assistance with writing and correcting questions, etc.). If necessary, I provide specific help for the preparation of questions or exams in more complex subjects.

I produce all of my course materials for each student. So there is no need for you to buy a learning book. However, if you are already working from a book, it is entirely possible for me to adapt to it.

Native French speaker, I've followed in Dutch education till my master that I finished in French. Therefore, I am a perfect bilingual.

The first objective is to learn / review the basics of Dutch with the student, grammar, and a precise vocabulary.
Depending on the objectives set by the student, I can prepare appropriate lessons / materials for the courses.

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."

I offer tailored courses, in person or remotely, according to the needs of each student. For academic support, I adapt to the program followed by the child or adolescent, by deepening the concepts already covered, by re-explaining difficult points or by dissecting problematic themes.

For adults, I mainly teach the basics in Dutch, but I can adapt my lessons to different objectives. For example: learning the vocabulary for a new position, preparing for an exam (Selor, language certification), refreshing your knowledge before an interview, or improving your ability to communicate effectively in a professional or personal context. My approach is always flexible, student-centered, and aims to strengthen both understanding and self-confidence.

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.

Je propose des cours particuliers de néerlandais (conversation et grammaire) à des élèves de tous niveaux : de débutant à confirmé, pour un soutien dans la matière de l’enseignement secondaire et supérieur, ou pour toute personne qui souhaite parfaire sa maîtrise de la langue.

Ma méthode s’articule autour de deux axes principaux, selon vos besoins :

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 : s’entraîner à pratiquer la langue à partir de textes qui traitent de l’actualité ou de jeux de rôle.

J'ai à coeur de m'adapter aux besoins, au rythme et aux spécificités de chaque élève, afin de créer une atmosphère conviviale et propice à l'apprentissage.

------

A propos de moi :

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

Dès ma jeunesse, j'ai appris plusieurs langues étrangères (français, anglais, et allemand) et me suis intéressé à leur fonctionnement ; ceci m'a permis d'avoir une excellente compréhension de la grammaire de manière générale, mais aussi de mieux appréhender ce qui peut faciliter ou entraver l'apprentissage d'une nouvelle langue.

Au cours de ma vie, j’ai déjà pu accumuler de l’expérience en tant qu'enseignant de langues, aussi bien dans le cadre de cours individuels que collectifs, à des jeunes et à des adultes.

Des questions ? N'hésitez pas à m'envoyer un message pour plus d'informations !

French (Intermediate & Support):
Whether you need to polish your pronunciation, expand your vocabulary, or proofread your essays, I am here to help. Coming from a French-speaking family, with a grandfather who was a French teacher, I place a special emphasis on oral expression and helping you feel natural and confident when speaking.

Dutch/English (Beginner Level):
Learning a new language should be an adventure, not a chore. I provide beginner-friendly lessons focused on essential conversation skills, correct pronunciation, and the foundational vocabulary needed to start speaking without fear.

Students needing to regain confidence or consolidate their foundations

I'd be delighted to help. Every lesson is tailor-made to suit the student's needs—whether based on age, professional requirements, or preparation for a Dutch language proficiency exam.

The strategic importance of conversation classes. Integrating oral practice is essential to stand out from traditional academic methods and attract an adult and professional audience.
Developing fluency: Learners overcome the mental block of translating words into words. They learn to express themselves spontaneously and naturally. Building self-confidence: A supportive environment helps overcome the fear of making mistakes. Oral fluency takes precedence over strict grammatical accuracy.
Authentic language acquisition: Discussions expose students to idiomatic expressions, verb phrases, and logical connectors essential for everyday use. Fostering social connection: The relaxed atmosphere promotes a sense of community within your school. Students help each other and share their cultural experiences.

Do you want to learn Chinese, whether for your child, your studies, your work, a trip, or simply out of curiosity? I offer Mandarin courses adapted for children, teenagers, and adults, from beginner to intermediate level!

Currently in my final year of a Master's degree in Chinese studies, I speak four languages (French, Dutch, English and Chinese) and I had the opportunity to live and study for a year in Beijing, at the 外交学院 (China Foreign Affairs University).

My career has also been marked by several participations in the Chinese Bridge Competition, a major international Chinese language competition. I twice achieved second place in the Belgian final and then participated in the storytelling event (故事会), where I reached the Top 50 worldwide.

My method is based on a structured progression inspired in particular by the HSK, while being adapted to the objectives and pace of each student. We can work on pronunciation and tones, vocabulary, grammar, characters, listening comprehension as well as oral and written expression.

For children and teenagers, I use an interactive approach with games, stories, pictures, dialogues, and age-appropriate activities. For adults, I can tailor the lessons more to conversation, practical Chinese, everyday situations, travel, studies, or a professional context.

I also wish to share my passion for Chinese culture, which I had the opportunity to explore in depth during my year in Beijing. Since language and culture are closely linked, the courses can also incorporate elements of traditions, festivals, history, and daily life in China.

Each lesson is therefore personalized according to the student's level, age and objectives.

Whether you are a complete beginner or wish to consolidate an intermediate level, my goal is to enable you to progress in Chinese in a serious, structured and motivating way.
