Nederlands voor beginners tot gevorderden ─ Dutch classes from A1 > C1: personally tailored language classes rooted in cultural context

From 40 C$ /h

as a Cambridge English CELTA-certified teacher & former corporate bank trainer I aim at maximal pupil involvement and participation during our classes: grammar points, vocabulary & pronunciation drills are intermingled with personally tailored cultural topics and songs so that the language you learn is rooted in the cultural context that fuels its production: reading and writing homework gets discussed in class, aided with grammar revisions and sparkled up with poetry and lyricism to awake a thirst in discovering new horizons in this beautiful Dutch tongue
we work at your pace, but be aware that some homework & home study is a prerequisite to proper language learning
try a single lesson, and if you like my teaching style, packages offer interesting discounted rates!

I like working with the Google platform: Google Docs & Slides & Meet, but other options include Zoom or WeChat

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. With advanced students we discuss the news based on newspaper articles.
I speak fluent French, English, and Italian. I am a lawyer by training with 30 years of experience in international business. The ultimate goal of my lessons: to love Dutch and prepare for your future!

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.

The most important thing to me is that we have fun while learning – this makes lessons so much more enjoyable! During our classes, I’m happy to help you with your questions about Dutch grammar, and we can work together on your speaking, writing, and/or listening skills. Do you have homework you need help with? That’s absolutely possible too!

Let me know your current level and what you would like to focus on. I enjoy challenging you, while making sure it always stays fun and never becomes overwhelming.

Feel free to book a 30-minute lesson to see if my teaching method matches your needs.

The listed prices apply to a lesson for one person.

In our class we will be relaxed, I will help you with the Dutch conversation, the grammar, reading (like an article or a topic what I will give you). I will help students for beginners-lower-intermediate level. After every lesson I will give you homework for the next lesson. Between the two lessons you can always ask me a question about the subject what we’ve discussed. If you have a subject what you’d like to learn about the Dutch language, let me know. I’m looking forward to see you in my class.

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

Hello!

I am a teacher in Tokyo. My lessons are particularly suited for those who need to practice their pronunciation and/or their vocabulary.

My classes can also include cultural aspects of the language and Dutch society. They would be ideal to help with orientation before travelling or moving to The Netherlands. If you are interested in the country and its customs, please do not hesitate to contact me.

日本語少し出来ます。宜しくお願いいたします。

I offer Dutch lessons adapted to beginners as well as to people who already have some basic knowledge.

I have a B2 level in Dutch, validated by a certificate of achievement, which allows me to teach the language in a clear, structured and accessible way.

The goal is to make learning simple, progressive and motivating, by advancing step by step on the essential basics of the language.

Each course is structured around:

- useful everyday vocabulary
- Grammar explained simply
- basic conjugation
- oral and written comprehension
- Conversation exercises to quickly gain fluency

I adapt to the pace and objectives of each student (school, work or personal learning), in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.

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

Dutch can be a challenging language. Spelling, grammar, reading comprehension, writing, or speaking often cause insecurity in both children and adults. In my lessons, I help pupils and course participants step by step to gain more control, confidence, and enjoyment in the Dutch language.

I teach online lessons to:

- pupils in primary and secondary education (vmbo, havo and vwo);
- Dutch children living abroad;
- adults learning Dutch as a second language (NT2);
- students preparing for work, study, or emigration to the Netherlands.

The lessons can be taught entirely in Dutch, but if necessary, I also provide support in English, Spanish, or German. This allows non-native speakers to better understand grammar and language structures and make faster progress.

The lessons are practical, personal, and fully tailored to the goals of the student or learner. I use many examples, exercises, and active assignments so that the language becomes immediately applicable.

As a Dutch person living and working in Colombia, I have extensive experience with online education, multilingualism, and international students. My goal is not only better results, but above all more self-confidence and enjoyment of the Dutch language.

I teach conversational Dutch and help with A2 inburgering exam prep for expats and internationals, fully online.

Lessons are structured around your level and goals, whether you're a complete beginner, preparing for the inburgering exam, or already speak some Dutch and want to build confidence and fluency. Each lesson builds on the last, so progress is measurable.

I use my own teaching materials, focused on real, everyday Dutch instead of outdated textbook Dutch. I speak ABN (standard Dutch) and cover all the important everyday topics. Every lesson comes with homework, so progress continues between sessions.
