Does your child need some extra support to build more confidence speaking Dutch?
From 116.79 C$ /h
Learning a new language can be exciting, but also challenging, especially for children who are still finding their place in a new country. My goal is to help children feel more confident, comfortable and successful speaking Dutch.
My name is Ieke and I have been teaching since 1995. I worked as a primary school teacher from 1995 until 2008 and later specialised in teaching Dutch as a second language (NT2). This combination gives me both educational experience and a strong understanding of language learning.
I offer personalised Dutch lessons for children aged 8–11 years old with an international or expat background.
For me, safety and connection come first. That is why we always start with a short introduction meeting to see if there is a good match and to understand your child’s needs. Together we create a personal learning plan.
My lessons are practical, interactive and tailored to your child. No boring worksheets for hours, we learn through conversation, meaningful activities and topics that fit your child’s interests and world. From there, we work on vocabulary, grammar, speaking and confidence step by step.
My aim is not only to teach Dutch, but to help children feel more at home in the Netherlands.
I look forward to meeting you and your child.
Best,
Ieke

About Me
The most important for me is that a student feels comfortable with me. Otherwise the learningproces will be hard.
When there is a click I will always ask the student what he needs to learn. We will work together and it makes me very enthousiastic when a student will bring some articles to the class or ask me questions about the daily life in The Netherlands. Everything you'll learn must have a context, so that's what I'm always looking for during my classes. Ofcourse we will use books, but I also like to use practical examples. So if you like sports, we can use sport (articles, tv programms) to learn Dutch, if you like music I'd like to ask you to tell about the music you like and why. So there is a lot we can work on, but it has to be in a fun and practical way!

Would you like to speak Dutch more fluent and with more confidence?
Maybe I can help you!
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!
