Hello, I am Sungjin who is South Korean and I am attending Lemmense now.
My major is Jazz drum.
Actually, When I was in South Korea, I already have teaching experience in music academy, that's why I taught many students who are children, adult, and teenager.
Also, When I lived in the Netherlands, I taught students in Den Haag.
So, If you want to learn about Jazz or Pop music with drums, please contact me.
I can teach all ages very well.

Please contact me.
Thank you.

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.

Need extra support when studying Dutch in primary or first grade of secondary school? I like to help repeat or process new material.

I start from the handbooks that you use yourself, and collect material that can help you.

Prepare in an efficient, intensive way for the ITNA (Interuniversity Language Test Dutch), based on tailor-made exercises.
We practice together on language in use, grammar and vocabulary, gap texts, structuring exercises, dictation, presentations and argumentation.

Would you like to learn Dutch at a different level (A1 - C1) or are you a native speaker with a specific question, be sure to check out my other lesson "Dutch for non-native speakers and native speakers".

Looking for a native speaker to chat about k-drama, k-pop or the in-depth of Korean culture? I am here for you!

My name is Jinha(진하) and my native language is Korean.
I can write, read and speak Korean and English fluently. I was born in South Korea and grew up in California, U.S.

Growing up with two different culture all my life I know the difficulties in learning a new language and adjusting to the new culture. We can discuss on what you would like to learn, whether it be learning the language from beginners level or just looking to improve on everyday talk!

*I find it important to only speak in Korean during the session*
(but if questions come up and you are having trouble we can speak in English or dutch/ik sprek een betje Nederlands)
*You can ask to meet at Café or group class(with friends)*

I look forward to meeting and sharing my personal knowledge in Korean!
Ik kijk ernaar uit u te ontmoeten en samen Koreaans te speken!
우리 곧 만나서 재미나게 한국어를 배워봐요!

I offer basic Dutch to Thai people with little or no knowledge. I speak thai, Dutch and English fluently. Suitable for people who have just moved to Belgium and want to learn Dutch (Flemish) or children who want tutoring to understand Dutch faster.

Enjoy Korean Dramas
Korean cinema and TV culture are especially fascinating. And the quality is very high. Boong Joon Ho’s Parasite won 4 Academy Awards as proof of that. If you want to experience Korean films and Korean dramas to their full extent, speaking Korean is a must.

You’ll be able to read the subtitles and understand the characters. In fact, if you enjoy Korean entertainment, you can also substitute your language classes. Why learn Korean with boring grammar drills, when you can immerse yourself with exciting K-Dramas!?

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).

These lessons are specially designed for people who have no or very limited knowledge of Dutch. The lessons are very practically designed so that you memorize the vocabulary easily and quickly.

These lessons are designed for all ages, the approach is always very individual.
For children this is learning through play, for adults more conversational exercises.
The lessons can be scheduled flexibly. For July, August and September I’m available the whole weak and every hour between 11 and 23 Brussels time.

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.
