Experienced Dutch Language Trainer & Certified Coach — Helping Professionals Communicate with Confidence

From 74.98 C$ /h

I’m a passionate Dutch language trainer and certified coach who helps adults improve their communication skills in a professional context. Since 2014, I have been teaching Dutch to employees, managers and university staff in Brussels and beyond — always with a focus on clarity, confidence and authenticity.

My lessons are interactive, tailored to each learner’s goals and filled with real-life situations such as meetings, emails, small talk and presentations. As a coach, I integrate tools that build self-awareness and motivation, helping learners overcome fear or hesitation when speaking a new language.

I believe that learning a language is not just about grammar and vocabulary — it’s about expressing who you are. That’s why I combine language training with coaching techniques to create a safe and positive learning environment where progress happens naturally.

Hello,

I am a 22 year old student who has always been in a Dutch-speaking school system. My family is of Flemish but French-speaking origin so I have always played with both at home. Thanks to this it is very easy for me to initiate Dutch with simple and structured explanations while adapting to the student's level. My goal is to teach the student Dutch in a fun way, because contrary to its reputation, Dutch is a beautiful and fun language when you know it. You or your children will appreciate the patience and motivation I have when it comes to initiation.

I introduce myself Laetitia Lobe, student of 20 years in relationships
public and currently looking for a small job. It is
for this purpose that I propose my services as a teacher
particular for homework help as well as for French,
Dutch and English.

French being my mother tongue, I have no trouble helping
people with shortcomings in this area. Furthermore,
i love reading so i always try to maintain a
correct vocabulary and my grammar rules.

Concerning English I am of a level C1 + according to the frame
common European reference point for languages. My grammar,
my conjugation and my vocabulary are therefore of a very good
level. English is a language that I maintain a lot thanks
to my correspondents but also through the films, books,
music ...

Finally, for Dutch, I am B2 (still according to the
framework) and my grammar and conjugation bases are
solid. I can easily help people of a level
beginner in learning this language. It is also a
language that I maintain through book or programs but
also thanks to some bilingual knowledge in my
entourage.

Also, patient and loving nature to teach, I can also
be a help for homework or primary level work or
secondary.

Finally, I am very available because I will reorient myself in my
studies which gives me more free time to give
course. I can move home with no problem no matter
distance while respecting punctuality.

Master student in Science and Environmental Management at ULB, I am fluent in languages and have acquired a bilingual level.

I lived a few months in the United States and in Antwerp after my rhetoric where I attended intensive courses during several months of Dutch and English. I got the EF Cambridge for English.

Subsequently, I pursued university level with advanced language courses.

I worked in a homework school for several years where I taught several subjects including languages to children of different ages from primary to upper secondary.

I also gave private lessons to many students even at university level.

My goal is for my students to understand what I am explaining to them and especially to be able to grasp the rules of grammar to apply them. I adapt the method to each student so that he has a personalized follow-up, so it's different work with each of them because everyone is unique.

Give lessons at home at the student's home or even at home. Possibility of courses by webcam also

I am a Marketing student who can tutor children that are in school to help improve their English in a fun way. I was raised in Hong Kong and Singapore and English has become a language I speak, read and write better than my mother tongue.
My goal is to help kids improve their English in a fun way to keep them interested. Sometimes doing daily activities in English can help a lot more than just learning from a book. I can also help with homework for other courses if necessary.

My name is Ségolène (26 years old). I have a double degree from KULeuven with a Master of Business Administration (NL/EN) as well as the agrégation (Educatieve Master). I worked for 2 years in insurance and currently work at Odoo.

My mother tongue is French, but from a very young age, I was educated in Dutch, which allowed me to become perfectly bilingual. I love supporting my students and seeing them progress. I offer academic support in any subject but also to help them learn how to learn, become better organized, and gain confidence.

MY EXPERIENCE :

I helped several students to pass the CE1D exam in Dutch (written, oral, listening comprehension). In addition, I also assisted students with their homework and for various subjects at secondary level (Maths, Handel (commerce), Sciences: WO, NW...).
Finally, it is also possible for younger children to learn Dutch in a fun way (language games, educational games).

During a test carried out on the CLL site to assess my level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 or C2), I obtained the result C2: "The student expresses himself appropriately in n' any situation, by dominating the linguistic and cultural elements proper to a native speaker and by knowing how to distinguish shades of meaning."
