Education

I hold a Master's degree in Language and Literature from KU Leuven, where I specialised in languages. I also completed a teacher training programme in Dutch and English, which provided me with the pedagogical and didactic skills to teach both languages effectively.

My academic background, combined with my teaching experience, has given me a solid foundation in language acquisition, grammar and communication.

Experience / Qualifications

I have 16 years of experience teaching Dutch to non-native speakers. I started my teaching career at the Language Institute of KU Leuven, where I taught Dutch to international students. I currently work as a private Dutch tutor and as a Dutch language instructor at ULB (Université libre de Bruxelles).

Over the years, I have gained extensive experience working with students from different backgrounds and with varying levels of Dutch. This has taught me how important it is to adapt my teaching methods to each student's individual needs and learning objectives.

In a personal learning route you walk on your own level and at your own pace through vocabulary, grammar and especially talking.
No school stuff, but a lot of variety to stimulate your GOESTING for the language and give a boost to your self-confidence.
YES, YOU CAN!
I am a certified language teacher (NL-ENG) with many years of experience in schools, adult education and companies, and consider me a 'language desire architect'.
Together we open doors in a creative way, we bring the world a piece of 'on your doorstep'.
And, who knows, in the near future you will have a (linguistic) lump richer!

Being able to communicate, write and understand a language is a real enrichment. Just think of being able to make a telephone conversation, explain the way, place an order in a restaurant or make a booking for a hotel... I would like to help teach the material such as vocabulary, conjugating verbs in different tenses... at your pace and to your specific needs.

Depending on your needs and requirements, I will teach you, completely tailored to your needs!

No boring one-fits-all language lessons or a fixed program, but hands-on lessons tailored to your specific needs, working environment and language level.

I prefer to work with practical cases taken from your business environment. So be sure to bring your presentation or e-mails to our class. This way you will learn faster and you will have another item to tick off your to-do list. That's a double win.

During the lessons, I also work with key phrases to give you something to hold on to during conversations and we practice the vocabulary and key phrases learned with a role-play. I use training material from manuals such as ‘Ter Zake’ and ‘Taaltrainer’ and lessons I have compiled myself.

Of course, in all this we also pay due attention to Dutch grammar.

An informal, relaxed chat about hobbies, family, travelling and so on is also part of the lessons. Because in the end, that's the best and most fun way to practice the everyday language!

I speak English, French and German, so I can clarify specific questions or grammatical topics in your mother tongue.

In this way, I try to achieve your goals for the lessons in the most efficient and enjoyable way.

Learning Dutch in Belgium is important for several reasons. First, it helps with integration into society, especially in Flanders where Dutch is the main language. Second, it improves access to education and job opportunities, as many schools and workplaces operate in Dutch. Third, it fosters better communication and social connections with locals, which enhances the overall quality of life."

Throughout the course, you will practice introducing yourself, asking and answering simple questions, talking about family, work, food, travel, and daily routines. By the end of the course, you will be able to understand and use common Dutch phrases, form basic sentences, and take part in simple conversations.

Intermediate Dutch

This intermediate Dutch course is designed for students who already know the basics and want to become more fluent, accurate, and confident in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. You will expand your vocabulary, strengthen your grammar, and learn how to express yourself more naturally in a wide range of everyday and professional situations.

Throughout the course, you will practice longer conversations, improve your sentence structure, and develop a better understanding of spoken and written Dutch. You will learn how to discuss opinions, describe experiences, handle common real-life situations, and communicate more comfortably with native speakers.

If you want, I can also make these sound more professional, more casual, or more sales-focused for a course platform.

Every child learns differently. That is why I do not believe in a standard approach, but in tailored guidance. I create a safe environment where children dare to ask questions, are allowed to make mistakes, and can gain experiences of success. By explaining difficult subject matter in a simple and understandable way, I help students progress in arithmetic, language, and spelling. I consider strengthening their motivation and self-confidence equally important, so that they go to school with more pleasure and confidence.
