Understanding and knowing how to speak Dutch and English is a major asset in Belgium. I am bilingual French-Dutch and I would like to be able to help other people progress. I adapt to the level of my student. I can give private lessons or academic support lessons. I am also currently continuing my studies in English.
If you want to deepen your historical knowledge, I would be happy to help you. I studied History for 3 years and it remains a great passion.

Are you looking for someone who can give Dutch or English extra lessons to your child? Then I am someone with pleasure! I have been teaching passionate English and Dutch to students between 5 and 16 years old for 6 years. It gives me satisfaction to see how my students grow and learn to master the language thanks to a tailor-made collaboration.
I have both my Masters in Communication Sciences and my C2 Upper Advanced level English diploma.
Teaching is something I do purely as a job because working with children makes me happy.

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.

Hello! I give Dutch lessons (beginners) in my free time. I am flexible and I adapt my teaching method to the student. I teach you my native language in a creative and effective way!

I can give lessons in English and French.

My language lessons are always tailored to the student. I provide interaction, the pupil will be encouraged from the start to experiment with the Dutch language, always within the pupil's own perception of the world, so that what is learned is placed in a personal context and automatically supplemented with elements that are specific to the pupil.
I have a number of fine methodologies at my disposal, but I also work with ease with material that the pupil has brought from school or from home, or else will select material to measure.
I have been teaching Dutch as a second language for 20 years and have a master's degree in education with a specialization in learning disabilities.

Conversational lessons on topics of your choice in Dutch, English or French. Hi I’m Onya, I’m half Dutch, half Irish and spent most of my childhood in France. I am a native speaker in Dutch, English and French.
I look forward to hearing from you

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."

Dutch truly is the easiest language in the world, and I can help anyone to get better and happier speaking it. I have a very personalized approach, and am a seasoned teacher with 20 years of experience. I will make you love the Dutch language, through conversations, songs, video's and anything you have a preference for. Try a class once, and you'll come back for more...

Hi! My name is Maria, I’m 21 years old, and I have over 5 years of experience in tutoring Dutch, English, and other subjects like Economics. for over 5 years I have worked as an education assistant helping students of all ages improve their language skills efficiently. As an exam trainer I have trained students for various subjects to pass their final exams.

I specialize in exam preparation for secondary school and high school students, and on average, my students see a 9% increase in their grades. But whether you're a student preparing for exams or an adult learning Dutch for daily life, my classes are designed to be efficient, engaging, and tailored to your needs.

What makes my lessons unique?
Immersive learning – From day 1, we’ll focus on real-life conversations and try to speak Dutch as much as possible
Customized approach – Lessons tailored to your specific goals and needs
Grammar & vocabulary – Integrated naturally based on your needs, daily speech and difficulty
Casual & engaging – No pressure, just enjoyable learning

I am also a French speaker (B2) and a Chinese speaker (B1/B2), which can be helpful for learners who speak these languages. My goal is to make learning Dutch efficient and practical, so you can use it confidently in daily life.

Whether you want to prepare for an exam, improve your speaking skills, or just get comfortable with the language, I’d love to help you on your journey. Let’s start learning Dutch in a way that works best for you!

If you are facing difficulties with Dutch or simply want to improve your skills, I can help you. Dutch is an important language, especially in Belgium. As a native speaker, I provide patient and clear guidance to support your learning process.

I offer tailored courses, in person or remotely, according to the needs of each student. For academic support, I adapt to the program followed by the child or adolescent, by deepening the concepts already covered, by re-explaining difficult points or by dissecting problematic themes.

For adults, I mainly teach the basics in Dutch, but I can adapt my lessons to different objectives. For example: learning the vocabulary for a new position, preparing for an exam (Selor, language certification), refreshing your knowledge before an interview, or improving your ability to communicate effectively in a professional or personal context. My approach is always flexible, student-centered, and aims to strengthen both understanding and self-confidence.

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.

Je propose des cours particuliers de néerlandais (conversation et grammaire) à des élèves de tous niveaux : de débutant à confirmé, pour un soutien dans la matière de l’enseignement secondaire et supérieur, ou pour toute personne qui souhaite parfaire sa maîtrise de la langue.

Ma méthode s’articule autour de deux axes principaux, selon vos besoins :

1. Cours théoriques : apprendre ou parfaire ses connaissances de la langue à l’aide d’exercices de grammaire (conjugaison, construction de phrases), enrichir son vocabulaire.

2. Cours de conversation : s’entraîner à pratiquer la langue à partir de textes qui traitent de l’actualité ou de jeux de rôle.

J'ai à coeur de m'adapter aux besoins, au rythme et aux spécificités de chaque élève, afin de créer une atmosphère conviviale et propice à l'apprentissage.

A propos de moi :

Néerlandophone de naissance, j'ai grandi aux Pays-Bas avant de déménager en Belgique où je vis depuis maintenant plus de quarante ans.

Dès ma jeunesse, j'ai appris plusieurs langues étrangères (français, anglais, et allemand) et me suis intéressé à leur fonctionnement ; ceci m'a permis d'avoir une excellente compréhension de la grammaire de manière générale, mais aussi de mieux appréhender ce qui peut faciliter ou entraver l'apprentissage d'une nouvelle langue.

Au cours de ma vie, j’ai déjà pu accumuler de l’expérience en tant qu'enseignant de langues, aussi bien dans le cadre de cours individuels que collectifs, à des jeunes et à des adultes.

I offer Dutch lessons based on an interactive approach.

Secondary school students (all levels)
Difficulties with Dutch (vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, speaking, listening)
Preparation for tests and the CE1D
Students needing to regain confidence or consolidate their foundations
