I tutor children at your home, at a location of your choice (max. 10 minutes travel time) or online (from about 12 years). I also teach Dutch: conversation, spelling, grammar, reading, NT2. I listen carefully to what you need and I adapt my lessons to that. I am a patient, flexible and friendly person and I like a bit of lightness in the lesson. I believe that you as a student should enjoy the lesson (at least a little bit), then learning will happen automatically. Because a good result, that is what we strive for together! I am flexible from week to week.

Do you need help for your integration exam / NT2? Or do you want to improve your conversation in Dutch? Do you or your child need extra help and support in the Dutch language, in speaking, listening, writing, reading, spelling ... I am an experienced Dutch teacher. I have a personal, patient approach and I offer a mixture of fun and seriousness during my lessons. Let's get started! I have plenty of lesson and exercise material.
Extra information
For NT2 lessons, please note that we will use the method Dutch in Gang/Dutch in action/Dutch at level. For conversation lessons we can additionally use the method Spreken op B1 or Spreken op B2.

About Me
I graduated as a Linguist from Tilburg University. Since 2006 I have had my own company in language assistance and copy editing for the Dutch language. I have guided many pupils and students with their papers, assignments or reading exercises. This guidance had the Dutch language as an approach, but it was often also about finding motivation together again, because it is really no fun when you get stuck with a subject!
I've been tutoring Dutch since 2020 to primary school and secondary school students, as well as students in vocational education (MBO), higher professional education (HBO), and university. For primary school students, I teach grades 6 through 8.
I listen carefully to what you need or what your child needs, and I adapt my lessons accordingly. I am a patient, flexible and friendly person and I also like a bit of lightness in the lesson. I believe that you as a student should enjoy the tutoring (at least a little), then learning will happen automatically. Because a good result, that is what we strive for together! I am flexible from week to week, from Monday to Thursday between 9:00 and 18:00.
Education
University, Master, Linguistics, graduated in 1989 from Tilburg University. Specialization: Text Studies, NT2 (Dutch as a Second Language). Numerous courses in writing, presenting, teaching, communication.
Experience / Qualifications
Work experience with the Dutch language since 1991: guiding students with writing and reading, VoorleesExpress, Dutch tutoring and correcting/checking assignments.

Sandra
Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities.

Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.

I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Please note: This course is ONLY for native English speakers (or those with a high level of English).

In this 10-lesson course you will learn concepts and strategies for learning Dutch (and any European language). We will investigate and practice the many ways you can leverage native English speaking for rapidly learning Dutch. This course will leave you inspired and interested in foreign languages. The priority is on increasing your confidence in speaking a second language in daily life and to provide tools for independently learning Dutch.

LOOM is inspired by both the classic work on language learning The Loom of Language (1923), and the joy of watching children learn languages first hand.

This course is especially useful for:
- Those frustrated by conventional approaches to learning language
- Those with a bad memory for words
- Those who enjoy playing with language and meaning
- Those who prefer thinking and understanding over rote learning

Please note: You do not need to commit to all 5 lessons in advance. First book a single lesson and see if this approach works for you.

About me:
I am a scientist by training and studied at Oxford and received my PhD from Cambridge. I currently work as a research scientist at Utrecht University and teach Dutch in my spare time. I have a passion for learning Dutch and finding hidden connections across languages, which I share with others. I am a native English speaker and very competent Dutch speaker (C1 level) - so I have personal experience of learning Dutch as an adult (and the challenges faced).
