From 86.65 C$ /h

Dutch is a fun language with a rich history. You will master the basics very quickly! Would you like to speak the language a little more fluently? Then things quickly become a bit more challenging. Our Dutch course focuses on the acquisition of basic grammar and vocabulary. Then we move on to more advanced topics, tailored to your needs. This will help prepare you for your professional and academic challenges.

Many expats in Brussels live within the bilingual region or on the outskirts of Brussels. Often the choose to enrol their children in Dutch-speaking schools. Next to Brussels, Flanders is the economic hub of the country, with the most employment opportunities. In Belgium, it is therefore almost indispensable to speak this language to find work and settle in your (new) community.

Would you like to discover together which opportunities Dutch can offer you? We tailor this course to your needs, and we'll be sure to cover the most essential professional communication skills, cultural peculiarities you might encounter and all the much-needed topical vocabulary.

About Me

Nice to get to know you!
My name is Jan and I'm from Antwerp, Flanders.
There I studied Linguistics and Literature.
I graduated in applied linguistics.
After my studies, I moved to Brussels.
Since 2012, I have been working there as a language trainer and speaker coach for companies and government bodies.
During my work, I mainly focus on the self-reliance of my trainees.
To me, grammar and lexis are mainly tools to master the language, not a goal in itself.
I coach trainees to speak with self-confidence and impact.
Besides Dutch, I can also guide you through the history of Brussels and through the beer menus in your local pub ;)
Hope to see you soon?

I could help to learn one of these 3 languages by giving classes in the chosen language. I offer help for homework or I could play games, have conversations on hot topics, excersises adapted to the student, ....

I'm a 33 years old french teacher and I've been living here in Brussels for 11 years, 8 of them as a french teacher. Before that I studied political sciences and had a couple of experiences in public communication.
As a teacher, I gave classes in languages centers (such as Berlitz or Semantics), so I worked and continue working in different environments like lawyer cabinets, hospitals, companies or NGO based in Brussels or with people learing french through unemployment programs). But I also give private lessons, like the one we might do together. This brought me to work with different linguistic, cultural and professionnal backgrounds as well as with very different age classes (from 5 to 65).
My class is essentially based on improving communication skills, that is to say that I give an advantage to the practice of verbal expression, through simulations (of professional situations, like doing a public presentation or conducting a meeting,...) and conversation (around documents and medias like articles, audiovisual items,...).
Nevertheless, when learning or doing the revision of grammar points is needed, I organize grammar items to work on too (the use of the subjonctif, la concordance des temps, how to express hypothesis,...). For that, I use primarly the book Grammaire Progressive du Français but can also use different material (I worked with some product of the editions Alter Ego more centered on workplace oriented needs for example).
So my methode is "taylor-made" as I adapt the content around the needs of each students in term of their communication objectives.
Don't hesitate to ask me if I forgot to mention anything in this quick profile!

The mastering of language is important, it opens up job opportunities when you're an adult and helps you in socializing with peers when you're a child.

Hello! My name is Alfonso. I'm a native 25 years old spanish guy who lives in Brussels. I’ve been trained to teach spanish at the Instituto Cervantes in Brussels, one of the official leading institutions for teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I also speak English fluently, so don’t worry if you’re just starting out, I’ll guide you in every step of the way!
I offer personalized Spanish lessons (private or in group), focused on vocabulary, grammar, and conversation, for all levels: from absolute beginners to advanced learners. Whether you're learning for travel, work, exams, or just for fun, I’ll tailor the classes to your own goals.
My teaching style is practical, engaging, and always encouraging. The idea is simple: feel confident speaking from day one. Ready to start? Let’s learn Spanish together!

I offer professional language translation support and personalised lessons for students, professionals, and anyone looking to improve their translation skills. My classes focus on accuracy, clarity, and natural language use, helping you understand not just what to translate, but how to translate effectively.

During the sessions, we will work on:

Translating texts clearly and accurately

Understanding grammar, tone, and context

Improving vocabulary in both source and target languages

Common translation mistakes and how to avoid them

Real-life texts (articles, emails, documents, conversations)

Lessons are adapted to your level (beginner to intermediate) and your goals, whether you want to learn translation skills, improve language comprehension, or get help with specific texts.

Classes are friendly, structured, and focused on helping you gain confidence and practical skills.

Dutch can become natural for you too.

I have spoken Dutch since I was 2 years old.
Over time, I have not only kept this language: I have worked on it, perfected it and mastered it until it became a real asset.

This journey has allowed me to understand one essential thing:
👉 Dutch is learned much better when you experience it, rather than when you endure it.

A method that really works

I have helped many people learn Dutch, even those who thought they would "never succeed".
Thanks to a clear, progressive and effective teaching method, my students quickly gain confidence and fluency.

No unnecessary theory here:
We talk, we understand, we practice from the start.

For who ?

✔️ Beginners or false beginners
✔️ Students and professionals
✔️ Anyone who wants to learn without stress and with results

My objective

To show you that Dutch is not complicated, and to help you learn it simply, effectively and sustainably.

The course module is tailored to the student's needs.

A program overview will be presented during the first class.

I will guide you in developing your written and/or oral communication skills, adopting an approach grounded in the science of political communication, international relations, and the social sciences and humanities.

The goal is to teach you how to structure a clear, impactful, and persuasive message, while mastering various persuasion and negotiation techniques.

▪️ Political communication involves the creation and exchange of ideas and opinions among citizens, political leaders, public institutions, and related stakeholders, such as the media. It encompasses all discourse throughout the political process at the local, regional, national, and international levels, as well as how political information can be used for strategic purposes or to achieve political objectives. Those trained in political communication can work in fields such as diplomacy, public and private policy consulting, public relations, journalism, media and digital campaigns, market research, community organizing, lobbying, and other related sectors.

▪️ The techniques taught will allow you to gain confidence in both public speaking and the development of your strategic speeches and narratives.

▪️ But above all, to achieve your goals, it is essential to master the art of public speaking, that is, the ability to express yourself clearly and effectively before an audience. This generally refers to a formal, face-to-face speech in which a speaker addresses a group of people.

▪️ At the student's request, the course can also incorporate skills in marketing, promotion, digital optimization, and SEO, allowing you to acquire:
- An integrated digital marketing strategy, adapted to the context and objectives of your organization;
- The skills necessary to analyze and leverage data in order to make informed, strategic, and innovative decisions;
- A forward-looking vision of marketing, including the use of new digital channels and technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots; and
- The ability to anticipate challenges and seize opportunities offered by disruptive technologies in your digital marketing strategy.
