From 138.94 C$ /h

I am a driven and enthusiastic teacher. I teach Dutch, Knowledge of Dutch society, Citizenship and Study skills to students of the International Transition Class. I also work in adult education as a teacher of Dutch for non-native speakers.
I use a mix of different methods, but I prefer to adapt the lessons to the needs and abilities of the student. Tailor-made studying at your level and pace!
Because I speak several languages, I can easily explain the differences and similarities in language.
Do you have questions? Feel free to send a message and we will look together at the possibilities to help you move forward!

COMPLETE BEGINNERS WELCOME

My name is Valérie. As a native speaker of French and Dutch and graduated as an interpreter of French / Dutch I have given with great pleasure French language courses for years to all different kinds of students.

The lessons are given in French and mainly focused on speaking the language. They are therefore practically oriented. The lessons are tailor-made because I follow the wishes and goals of the students during the first lesson.

I think it is important that the student experiences pleasure in learning the language, it is and stays a way of communication!

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 completed 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.

Dutch language lessons for people who want to integrate or improve their Dutch. I use Coutinho's books to teach the lessons. Expats who do not want to integrate, but want to learn the Dutch language can also register. I am very flexible in class times

As a creative copy professional and philosopher, I see every lesson as an experiment. To keep us both on the edge of our seats, I continuously explore new ways of teaching that fit your specific needs. Feel tempted? Book your first lesson and get one extra!

Doubts? Dutch might feel a little violent to a delicate mouth in the beginning. But once you get passed that, a sea of inspiring and quirky new ways to express yourself will open up. To help you move beyond that hump, I will adjust my lessons to your personal passions and interests, including your specific reasons to speak and/or write in this language right now.

Two kids that are roughly the same level can share one webcam lesson of one-hour minimum. Keep in mind that we will stay online for at least 15 minutes extra, as young ones will need at least two 5 minute breaks.

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 the Dutch language for non-native speakers (NT2), and I am happy to help you broaden your knowledge of not only the language but also Dutch customs and traditions. You can also come to me for CNAVT exams, which are Accredited Dutch language exams. You can start preparing now with lessons for an exam in November 2026 at A-2 or B-1 level.

As a medical and law student I have had a lot of experience in different fields. I can use this to contribute to the development of young children to beginning students. The lessons will be informative, creative and educational with a fun twist.

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.

A warm welcome. I am happy to help students on their way to an agreed final result. After the introduction, I will delve into the specific material and methods used at the school and get to work on the challenges at hand.
