Want to expand and improve your knowledge of the English language and gain more self-confidence? Which can! With my varied conversation lessons, alternating with reading, listening and short tests, we playfully build on better pronunciation and understanding. The lessons are adapted to your needs and we can certainly work on specific goals.
I have more than 40 years of experience with the English language, have lived in South West England for > 16 years and worked for many years in business in both the UK and the Netherlands. With a lot of hands-on experience with the language and internally improving the language use of international colleagues (Thailand, Philippines, Dutch, etc.), I now also have a TEFL/TESOL Teaching Certificate and have now focused on teaching.

I also enjoy teaching and tutoring in the Dutch language for non-native speakers and am happy to help you broaden your knowledge of not only the language but also Dutch customs and traditions.

About Me
I teach lessons that are varied in content and therefore certainly remain interesting; with a touch of humor here and there because that is certainly part of the English language. After having lived in various countries, including Portugal, France and the United Kingdom, I now live close to Alkmaar (NH). My knowledge of the English language in particular, but certainly also other languages, has always contributed to good contact with people locally and in the business world, as you always have 'added value'. Now I would also like to teach locally in people's homes and online. By being open to the knowledge, language and customs of other nationalities, I have enriched my life and I would like to pass on this inspiration to others.

(Class currently on pause / pauzeren for upgrading the learning materials)

I am a Vietnamese native (born and raised in Hanoi) who has lived in the UK for 2 years, and now in my 8th year living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I am currently working full-time at an international Dutch company and tutoring Vietnamese is my favorite hobby!

This class will introduce you to various aspects of the Vietnamese alphabet, grammar, and spelling. I will also provide speaking practice at the end of every class. This class is designed for those of you who are interested in the Vietnamese language, as well as Vietnamese culture.

New vocabulary for each topic will be discussed. My study background is in Mathematics and Statistics, thus with the combination of languages you can expect 'a bit' of reasoning logic behind all lessons I give (which I think gives some structure to the lessons as well)!

Are you a student, working or living in the Netherlands, or do you want to take online classes to learn the Dutch language? I am a patient, social and open minded tutor with a good capacity to empathize. And I have 10 years of experience in teaching Dutch! Because of my lessons my students have grown in speaking the Dutch language. And many of my students have reached level C1! I am sure you can reach it too if you get in touch with me. I am open to help people with all learning styles and I believe that the classes should always be fun.

PS: To use my services a reasonable level of english is required. If you have any futher questions don't hesitate to ask. Send me a message before your first class, so we can agree on a date and time.

The content of the lesson depends on what the student / pupil needs. If he or she wants to learn how to write or spell better, or would like guidance with homework or with making a paper, a book summary or a speaking assignment, then I would like to help. I also like to give writing advice for an essay or story written by the student / pupil.

Private Dutch lessons, all levels. Focusing on the aspects that are most challenging for you (for example getting more experience in actually speaking Dutch). I used multiple methods, books, strategies to fit your needs. I can help preparing for inburgeringsexamen or staatsexamen.
I am trained as teacher, I did a master in economics and I am a certified Dutch teacher with special training to teach Dutch as a foreign language. I'm also a official examiner for the NT2 Staatsexamen.
I started AmsterDutch in 2009 and I'm teaching Dutch since then.
Lessons can be face to face or online.

こんにちは! はじめまして!
Are you looking for an easy way to learn Japanese? Or are you looking for someone to talk with Japanese? Then, you found the right course!!

Hello! I'm Shino.

Here’s the class for easy Japanese conversation with Japanese native speaker. I truly believe that if you want to learn new languages, the fastest way is the Conversation!

Don't worry too much about the grammar and let’s get started with me ;)

Are you struggling with one of the components of the Dutch language? Dyslexia? Then you can now quickly and in a fun way improve your language skills. Research shows that 95% of dyslexic people benefit from good language education. Spelling and grammar in particular are not that difficult to learn. It is mainly about good explanation, and a lot of practice. I have a lot of experience in helping students who experience problems with language use.
Reading skills, writing skills, style, creative language use. Everything is possible and allowed in the lessons. Because of my Montessori background I have experience in customized lessons. Book a trial lesson now!

I work at an international language school and I teach Dutch to mainly expats.
My focus is on pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. It is important for language proficiency to keep practicing regularly, which is why I give homework after the lesson. By mainly speaking and doing role plays, I get a lot out of my students and they gain more confidence in speaking the language.

*** THE COURSE: This course is designed for adults (18+) who want to learn Dutch in a structured and motivating way. We’ll use the textbook "Nederlands in Gang", a complete method that takes you up to level A2 (and beyond, see below!). It’s a very comprehensive program, which makes guided lessons with an experienced teacher the perfect way to follow it.

*** YOUR TEACHER... CHRISTIAAN: My name is Christiaan, and I’m a Dutch teacher with over 8 years of experience teaching at an international school. I was born in the Netherlands and speak both Dutch and English fluently. Besides teaching languages, I’m also a piano teacher and I am writing a Dutch children’s book. People often say that those from Haarlem speak the clearest Dutch — so you’ll be in expert hands!

*** YOUR CURRENT ABILITY: If you already have some knowledge of Dutch, we can continue with the next books in the same series (Nederlands in Actie, Nederlands op Niveau, Nederlands naar Perfectie). The method includes self-checks and progress tests so you can clearly track your improvement.

*** THE LESSONS: Lessons are held online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom. If you live near Haarlem, you’re welcome to join in person. Weekly participation is essential. Learning a language takes dedication, but with consistent effort, you’ll be amazed at your progress. Whether you can study 15 minutes a day or an hour, we’ll find a rhythm that fits your schedule! Ready to start your Dutch journey? Let’s begin!
