Welcome to my page!

I offer private Dutch lessons for non-native speakers (NT2). All levels are welcome!

Several issues can be dealt with:

- Grammar
- Spelling
- Conversation (with pronunciation exercises)
- Focusing on the tasks within your field where you need Dutch
- ...

I am a dynamic teacher and I think it is important to put the student at the center of my lessons. We link back as much as possible to the professional and/or personal life of the student. The needs and objectives of every student are different. Therefore, the first lesson is very important to detect it. Based on this, we can then discuss various themes. The focus is really on activating the student.

I am flexible and especially free in the evenings. Be sure to contact me to check when we can schedule a lesson.

I teach (basic) Dutch to (young) adults who speak other languages. The purpose of the lesson is to be able to have easy and simple conversations in daily life. In addition, there is also practice on language comprehension and written language production. We practice Dutch on the basis of role plays, audio clips and newspaper articles. Also people who already have some knowledge of Dutch are more than welcome to join. During the first lesson we will discuss your requirements so that I can adapt my lessons accordingly.

As a graduated speech therapist, I have already completed several internships where I worked intensively with children who experienced various learning disabilities. Through my internships, I have gained extensive experience in working with children with various learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, articulation disorders, language disorders and more. My experience and education enable me to make a valuable contribution to the cognitive development and learning process of these children.

Every child is unique and deserves an individualized approach, focused on both qualities and challenges. In my approach it is also crucial to create a supportive and positive learning environment for the child. In addition, I think it is important to also involve the parent(s)/educator(s) in the learning process.

I am committed to helping your child reach their full potential!
If you would like to have an initial introductory meeting, this is certainly possible. We can also discuss the expectations of the tutoring(s).

Hola!

Would you like to learn Spanish in an interactive way with a focus on speaking? Do you love Latin American culture as much as I do? Say no more!

We first look at where you are now and what you would like to achieve and I adjust my lesson based on that. Having lived in Ecuador, I know all too well how important it is to be truly immersed in a language. That's why I think practice is very important: talking about your interests! Because... one learns by doing :D

Not: pure theory and rules while sitting down
Do: theory and practice - we chat a lot and get to work with photos, music, cooking, etc...

The lessons are standard at my home in Ghent Center (negotiable in Aalter). Due to training, I will not be available one Thursday and Friday per month until January '25. The other weeks and on Saturdays.
