A qualified language coach with 25 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.

I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.

In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).

We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.

My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.

Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.

This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.

I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 25 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.

I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

I am a certified English teacher who has recently moved to Rotterdam from the United States. English is my native language. Whether you are a true beginner, intermediate, or an advanced English speaker who is simply looking for someone to practice with, I am here to help.

I have a true understanding of how intimidating learning a new language can be and tailor each lesson to suit your individual needs. We will assess what you already know and work together to set goals that will push you out of your comfort zone but not be overwhelming. Since moving to Rotterdam I have helped many students work towards their English language learning goals. I have experience teaching ESL (English as a second language) for business and regularly help ESL students prepare for interviews.

A little about the lessons: I like to use a variety of materials to build my lessons but a typical lesson will focus on a relevant topic to suit your interests and needs, and give you various opportunities to practice listening, comprehension, discussion, formation of complex thoughts and ideas, reading, and building vocabulary. I like to utilize technology when it can be used to enrich the lesson and assign homework as a continuation of our session.

*My rate includes our time together as well as additional time spent outside of class preparing your individualized lessons/materials and building a program that works best for your English language learning needs.

I am flexible with scheduling and have a passion for helping others! I cannot wait to meet you :) Please feel free to message me with further questions about my teaching method and current availability.

Hola!

Are you looking for a passionate and entertaining Spanish teacher? Well, look no further! I'm the one you're looking for.

I'm not your typical Spanish teacher. I don't believe in boring lectures and endless grammar drills. Instead, I strive to create an immersive and engaging learning environment that is both fun and effective.

With over 5 years of experience teaching Spanish to students of all ages, I have developed a unique teaching style that combines language instruction with music, games, and even some friendly competition. I have found that when students are having fun, they are more likely to stay engaged and retain information.

But don't let my fun-loving approach fool you, I am also highly qualified. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education and a Master's degree in Music, and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I have experience teaching all levels of Spanish, from beginner to advanced, and I am skilled in adapting my teaching methods to meet the individual needs of my students.

So, if you're looking for a Spanish teacher who can not only teach you the language but also make you laugh, then look no further. Let's learn Spanish together and have some fun while we're at it!

¡Hasta pronto!

My name is Mohamed from Syria, and I hold a degree in Business Administration. My journey with the English language began with a deep passion for learning it. Through dedication and hard work, I mastered the language using Cambridge curricula and other studies, achieving an advanced academic level (C1). This accomplishment inspired me to turn my passion into a mission, becoming an English teacher to support students eager to learn.

For the past three years, I have been volunteering as an English teacher in a non-profit organization, teaching both beginner-level students starting from scratch and intermediate levels (B1-B2).

My Teaching Approach:
I believe that learning English should be enjoyable and easy to apply in everyday life. My teaching method focuses on:

- Simplifying Grammar: Presenting rules in a clear and straightforward manner.
- Improving Speaking Skills: Developing conversational fluency with an emphasis on pronunciation and accent improvement.
- Interactive Activities: Using diverse educational activities to engage students.
- Practical Application: Addressing all aspects of the language that one might need in daily life, whether as a student or for other personal and professional purposes.

I am a TEFL-certified English teacher who is excited to help you achieve all of the goals you have set for yourself on the journey of learning English. I combine elements of traditional methodologies with some less traditional methods and approaches that I have extracted from my own experience with learning, as I am someone who speaks several different languages and am therefore very familiar with this process and what it takes to get better at a new language. I look forward to showing you how simultaneously efficient and fun learning a new language can be.
