Individual (extra) German lessons at every level by an experienced teacher, also coach, counselor, mediator

From 116.64 C$ /h
arrow icon
You can contact me for extra German lessons at any level. This may include speaking, reading and writing skills, but also grammar, literary history or exam training.

I myself have a broad German education: MO-A, MO-B and doctoraal.
I have provided German lessons for the Scheidegger Institute, the Educational Center, in-company training and students of VCL The Hague.
In addition to German, I teach Dutch up to and including the level of secondary education and NT-2 to non-Dutch speakers.

I do not assume fixed teaching methods, but tailor the teaching material to you as an individual student as optimally as possible.
In doing so, I make good use of my knowledge from other courses: coaching, counseling, mediation and didactics.

As a retiree I can freely dispose of my time and therefore I am flexible in terms of dates and class times.
In principle, a lesson lasts one clock hour. This can be extended if desired.
I can always be contacted for interim questions.

Finally, I can mention that I am a 'stacker' myself, who from the age of 21 to 55 did all his studies in the evenings in addition to a full-time job.
Again, "Nothing is impossible for those who really want to"!
Extra information
Bring everything you think you need, but certainly a portion of motivation!

About Me
In the description of the lessons that I offer, I have already gone into my approach a little deeper, so that I will not repeat this here.

I can say that I am a vital retired man who has lived for decades in the Statenkwartier in The Hague (close to the World Forum Congress building) and has been married to Joke for over 50 years.

The blood creeps where it cannot go. There is a great shortage of German teachers in mainstream education, but this does not appeal to me for various reasons.
What I am really looking forward to again is giving individual lessons, where I am strongly intrinsically motivated to get the best out of the student.

This motivation has everything to do with my own past as a so-called 'stacker', who went to evening classes after his military service and only stopped studying around the age of 55.

My motto is therefore 'Nothing is impossible for those who really want to'!
Education
Relevant for the classes offered: Doctoral German Language and Literature at the UVA, MO-A School for Language and Literature and MO-B at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. Coaching and counseling at the Hague school for BGL in Hoofddorp and mediation at the Netherlands Mediation Institute. MO-A and MO-B including educational sciences and teaching methodology.
Experience / Qualifications
In addition to a long experience in business and education as a German teacher, I have followed courses and had my own practice in coaching, counseling and mediation. As the 1st of my group of students I graduated after a shortened doctoral training in German Language & Literature at the University of Amsterdam. I was also allowed to act as a coach.

My name is Ieke and I teach Dutch as a second language to adults.
I teach in a flexible way and there is always a possibility to bring your own ideas. But first of all, we'll have an intake, so we can talk about your goals, expectations, way of learning and the methods/ books we can use.

We will work together to put your Dutch to a higher level. I will also give you homework which can contain several skills like watching Dutch tv, speaking with the neighbors, reading an article you're interested in and so on. Above all, I hope to make the lessons interesting, fun and informative.

Tot ziens!

You wanna learn the language of the people who invented the Oktoberfest and Volkswagen? My name is Izzy, I was born and raised in Germany and would love to teach you how to read, write and talk German correctly. My tutoring style is a mixture of writing, reading and talking exercises; if you want to, we can also grow your German vocabulary. Long-term, short-term, only for one exam or otherwise - just let me know what fits you :)

I provide lessons for the Nt2 Staatsexamen and Dutch Nationalisation exam (Inburgering examen)and Business Dutch for ex-pats and people who want to learn everyday Dutch. In the citizenship exam course, students learn about history, geography and basic vocabulary which are the contents of the exam. They learn how to respond to basic questions. Besides preparatory lessons for (Inburgering examen ,citizenship exam ,I teach Business Dutch( Zakelijk Nederlands) to expats. Online lessons are delivered through Google meet and Ms Teams and other online platforms. The lessons are conducted online as well as at a location in The Hague. Both private and group lessons are available.

I take pride in saying that all my students who I prepared for Dutch exams passed their exams with high scores:)

I am Léonie from Germany and I am studying Design in The Hague. I propose German classes to people at any level, who like to start learning the language, need support at school or would like to practice their language skills.

I teach Dutch to children, adapted to the level of the child, the age and the goals that wish to be achieved. The lessons can be given entirely in Dutch, or with explanations and translations in English where necessary (if the child speaks English). With young children I often use cheerful images, games and songs to learn the language in a playful way. From experience, this also works fine online, via video calls.
If you send me a message, we can discuss the options together.

Tambien puedo dar las clases con traducciones en español.

Hello!
My name is Alice and I'm from Geneva. I just arrived in the Hague to study hospitality management and Business.
I would love to give French, English, or German courses (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, discussion, reading, oral and written comprehension).

As French is my first language and I studied French until I graduated from high school, it's for me more than natural to speak French and teach it.
Having lived in Germany for a few years and having passed exams I was certified with the B2 Telc certificate in grammar. It will be a pleasure to help with the German language (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, discussion, reading, listening, and writing) as I have been very interested in this language and German culture.

Finally, I can also offer English classes as I have the C1 level and have been living in New Zealand for a year as well.
Being trilingual has proved to me how important, and enriching is it to speak many languages at a professional level but also as a personal one to understand other cultures and meet so many people.

I can't wait to meet new students and continue to do what I like; teaching. Don't hesitate to contact if you have any questions or requests,

Kind regards,
Alice

A language is the key to communication and in the interconnected, globalized world that we find ourselves in, a language can really broaden your horizons and extend your web. In addition, a new language also brings culture with it and a vast array of new traveling opportunities.
However, despite all of these advantages, learning a language can be challenging and demotivating, in particular when it is studied without being in touch with native speakers and the corresponding culture that a language brings with it.
The language tutoring provided will be personalized to the student's needs and will provide the cultural context that comes with a language, allowing for a more enjoyable and interactive language acquisition process.
If you are looking to improve your conversational skills or even written proficiency, This is the class for you.

ENGLISH: I have been teaching Turkish and Dutch to local and international adults and their children living in the Netherlands since 2020.
My main motivation for teaching my mother language is to contribute to Turkish children’s bilingual achievement and help Dutch-Turkish people close the cultural gap in their families.
My lessons are based on the needs of the individuals such as communication in daily life, reading business or project management documents and enjoying their time while exploring Turkish culture and cuisine.

NEDERLANDS: Sinds 2020 geef ik Turkse en Nederlandse lessen aan lokale en internationale volwassenen en hun kinderen die in Nederland wonen.
Mijn belangrijkste motivatie om mijn moedertaal te onderwijzen, is om bij te dragen aan de tweetalige prestaties van Turkse kinderen en om Nederlands-Turkse mensen te helpen de culturele kloof in hun gezin te dichten.
Mijn lessen zijn gebaseerd op de behoeften van de individuen, zoals communicatie in het dagelijks leven, het lezen van zakelijke of projectmanagementdocumenten en genieten van hun tijd tijdens het verkennen van de Turkse cultuur en keuken.

TÜRKÇE: 2020 yılından beri Hollanda'da yaşayan Türklere, yabancılara ve onların çocuklarına Türkçe ve Hollandaca öğretiyorum.
Anadilimi öğretmekteki temel motivasyonum, Türk çocuklarının iki dilde iletişimine katkıda bulunmak ve Hollandalı-Türk aile bireyleri arasındaki kültürel uçurumu kapatmalarına yardımcı olmaktır.
Derslerim, günlük yaşamda iletişim, iş veya proje yönetimi belgelerini okumak ve Türk kültürü ile mutfağını keşfederek keyifli vakit geçirmek gibi bireylerin ihtiyaçlarına yöneliktir.

I am happy to help you learn German through:

- Conversations
- Learning by reading
- Pronunciation
- Reading

A special learning method is when German texts are heard in everyday life. I am happy to capture personal texts in voice recordings.
Looking forward to get in touch with you.

Could your or your son or daughter use some support with learning Dutch (reading, conversation, spelling or grammar)? Let me help! I have worked as a remedial teacher in primary education for the past three years. I have helped students individually or in small groups with reading, spelling and arithmetic. Because I lived abroad as an expat for a few years myself - where my son went to an international school - I know from experience how challenging it can be to have to communicate and learn in different languages.
Back in The Hague, I have helped expats with Dutch conversation (individually).
I use different methods to make Dutch as accessible as possible! It is a difficult language, but I try to make it simple.
--> I live 7 minutes by bike from the International School of The Hague.
--> It is also possible to take lessons together with 1 or 2 classmates.
