Practical Dutch A0–A2 for adults – speaking, grammar and Dutch for everyday life

From 53 C$ /h

I give personal and practical Dutch lessons to adults at levels A0–A2. The lessons are suitable for people starting from scratch, but also for students who already understand some Dutch and want to gain more confidence in speaking.

During the lessons, we work step by step on speaking, listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading, and basic grammar. We immediately practice new words and grammatical structures in recognizable situations from daily life and work.

For example, we practice:

Introduce yourself and talk about your family;
make appointments;
grocery shopping and understanding prices;
time, days and months;
housing and transport;
health and contact with the general practitioner;
conversations with colleagues and customers;
simple WhatsApp messages and emails.

I tailor every lesson to the student's level, pace, profession, and personal goals. You receive clear explanations, plenty of repetition, interactive exercises, and personalized homework with immediate feedback.

My goal is that you not only understand Dutch, but also really dare to use it in the Netherlands.

Extra information

You don't need to prepare anything for the first lesson. We start with a brief introduction and look together at what you already know, what you find difficult, and what you need Dutch for. After that, I will create a personal learning plan that suits your pace and goals.

About Me

I work in Dutch secondary education and have extensive experience with newcomers and students learning Dutch as a new language. As a result, I know how important clear explanations, structure, repetition, and a safe learning environment are.

My native language is Ukrainian, and I also speak Dutch, English, and Russian. I can clearly explain difficult grammar, pronunciation, and differences between languages, especially to Ukrainian-speaking students.

I am patient, practical, and enjoy working with personal examples. My goal is for a student not only to learn Dutch but also to increasingly dare to use it in daily life and at work.

Education

University degree in Political Science – Kyiv National University, Ukraine.

In the Netherlands, I completed training and courses in the fields of art and education in Tilburg and Utrecht.

In addition, I have passed the NT2 State Examination, Program II (B2) and have completed training in the Delft method for learning Dutch.

Experience / Qualifications

I work as an Art teacher in an International Transition Class (ISK) in Dutch secondary education. There, I work daily with newcomers and non-native speaking students who are still learning Dutch.

I have experience with various NT2 learning materials and methods, including TaalCompleet, CODE+, and LINK+, and with the Delft method.

Hello!
My name is Mari and I am a native Russian speaker specializing in teaching Russian as a foreign language. I have always been passionate about helping learners to study my native language. I mainly use the communicative approach ( focusing on speaking) to train my students.

In this class we are going to focus not only on speaking but also on grammar. I know for sure how to make your learning process easy and enjoyable!

Join me in this interesting, fun and at the same time very efficient course!

A qualified language coach with 25 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.

I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.

In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).

We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.

My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.

Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.

This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.

I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 25 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.

I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

For all those language enthusiasts like me, I offer private classes during the evenings and weekends. If you wish to learn some Spanish for work, school or just because it's a beautiful language why not try it! I can also teach English or Russian. As this is something I do extra, I would prefer to teach beginner or intermediate levels, however, if necessary I can also do advanced. It all depends on the progress you make!

Hello! I’m Mahmood and I currently live in Gouda (South-Holland). I came to The Netherlands some time ago. As an Expat I know how tough it is to learn a new language, especially the Dutch language with its tough pronunciations and sentence structures. Being an Expat I understand much better what the challenges are that other Expats needs to go through to learn Dutch

I am specialized in preparing Expats and other immigrants for the Basic Civil Integration Examination (Basisexamen Inburgering). I can also teach about the Dutch social culture and History of The Netherlands.

Also I teach Dutch till A2 level or to the people who like to learn Dutch as a hobby.

I teach one on one as well as to Groups (I provide discount for Groups).

What can I teach you? :
- Read and Write in Dutch
- Sound like a Native Speaker
- Participate in Basic Conversations and Use Daily Phrases
- Understand and Pick Up on Basic Conversations

My method of teaching:

i) Starting discussion
At the start, we will discuss your level and objectives. This way I can efficiently give you the help that you need.

ii) Open communication
I have an open way of teaching in which I encourage students to keep telling me what their difficulties are or where they would like to improve. In my experience, this saves a lot of time and also makes the lessons more fun.

iii) Simplify instead of complicate
I am good at listening and understanding why students are having difficulties with certain issues. The thing in which I’m best is explaining complicated things in a simple way.

Do you want to learn to speak and write Dutch? And do you want to do that 1 on 1? My goal is that the participant is challenged with a focus on speaking.
Even if you are a little further advanced, that is no problem.

I also speak Arabic, English and French, so if you master one of those languages, I can support you in that. i believe in reading so i will get you reading too.

Russian language is widely-spread across the world, since all the post-soviet countries operate this language. Also, it may be useful for the purposes of understanding other eastern-European language, like Belarusian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian or Polish.

I can teach Russian or Ukrainian to the children and teenagers. Also, we will discuss literature and culture of music.

I have been teaching Dutch for a number of years, mainly to non-native speakers of level A1 to C1. We will work together to prepare, for example, the State Exam B1 or B2.
I give the lessons from my office in Breda, but online lessons are of course also an option. All lessons are fully adapted to the student and the homework is also tailor-made.

I have taught English, Dutch, German, History and Geography to children of all ages, but primarily high school students. However, through this platform, I hope I will get the chance to work with different age groups as well! Next to private tutoring, I have also been employed as a homework counselor and supervisor during my undergrad years. I currently have lots of free time, so I'm very eager to get started on something with you and help you get to where you want to be!

Hello! My name is Robert and I teach Dutch to expats who want to feel more confident speaking Dutch in everyday life and at work.

My lessons are practical, structured and relaxed. We focus on real communication, so you learn how Dutch people actually speak. Many of my students live and work in the Netherlands and want to improve their Dutch faster.

I enjoy helping students feel more comfortable using Dutch in real situations.

In my lessons we work on:
• speaking and pronunciation
• vocabulary and sentence structure
• grammar explained in a simple way
• understanding Dutch culture and communication

I use conversations, short texts and practical exercises so that students quickly gain confidence in speaking.

My lessons are suitable for:
• expats living in the Netherlands
• professionals who want to use Dutch at work
• students preparing for the inburgering exam
• learners who want to improve their speaking skills

Levels: A1 – A2 – B1 – B2 – C1

A typical lesson (60 minutes) includes:
• a short conversation
• explanation of new words or grammar
• speaking practice
• homework, exercises and feedback

Students usually speak a lot during the lesson, because speaking is the fastest way to improve a language.

Besides books, I also create my own teaching materials and articles, which makes the lessons more engaging and relevant to life in the Netherlands.

Would you like to improve your Dutch and feel more confident speaking it? Feel free to send me a message. I will be happy to discuss your goals and help you make progress.

Hello, my name is Kateryna. I will be glad to become your Spanish teacher. I also speak and can teach Ukrainian, Russian, English and Dutch :) I like to learn new things, especially languages. And also to share knowledge and study methods. I write poems and prose, draw abstractions. I believe in the perfection of the world and a bright future.

I have 3 years of experience as a teacher:
1 year of experience teaching Spanish online;
2 years of experience in private online English lessons;
7 months of offline English language teaching experience for Ukrainian refugees in the Netherlands.

Interesting and fun Spanish lessons for children and adults who remain children at heart.

We watch cartoons, listen to songs, read poetry and prose. We analyze what is happening there, we speak out loud a lot, put pronunciation, do interesting exercises. We also sing a lot - because this is the best way to learn a new language.

I also arrange a practice with a native Ecuadorian. I myself lived in Ecuador and Spain for a long time, and I practice using the language with native speakers every day.
