The content of the lesson depends on what the student / pupil needs. If he or she wants to learn how to write or spell better, or would like guidance with homework or with making a paper, a book summary or a speaking assignment, then I would like to help. I also like to give writing advice for an essay or story written by the student / pupil.

Hello all,
Spanish and French are my mother tongues. I have been teaching for many years in my spare time either in the evenings or during weekends. I simply like to do it and enjoy helping people of all ages either to start talking or reaching a good level. I use grammar books but also online exercises or games on paper depending on the needs and profile of the student.

I started AmsterDutch in 2009 and I'm teaching Dutch since then.

Are you struggling with one of the components of the Dutch language? Dyslexia? Then you can now quickly and in a fun way improve your language skills. Research shows that 95% of dyslexic people benefit from good language education. Spelling and grammar in particular are not that difficult to learn. It is mainly about good explanation, and a lot of practice. I have a lot of experience in helping students who experience problems with language use.
Reading skills, writing skills, style, creative language use. Everything is possible and allowed in the lessons. Because of my Montessori background I have experience in customized lessons. Book a trial lesson now!

Learning languages are always more fun when involving an interaction based on personal interests! That's why I could take a more conventional approach to teaching but I prefer an interactive engaging type of class. We can start with basic daily life based conversations to delving into more detailed and specific contexts, to a level where any types of topics can be covered.
I would encourage students and myself to only converse in the language that is being taught. But I could still provide explanation and guidance in either Korean or English!
Please message me for further info!◡̈

I work at an international language school and I teach Dutch to mainly expats.
My focus is on pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. It is important for language proficiency to keep practicing regularly, which is why I give homework after the lesson. By mainly speaking and doing role plays, I get a lot out of my students and they gain more confidence in speaking the language.
