From 27 € /h

Welkom! (Welcome)

Dutch is a hard language to master, but a fun language to learn.

I have 3 years’ experience teaching Dutch as a first and second language to elementary school children abroad.

During my language classes the focus is on your personal goals and specific needs. I will adjust my teaching style and materials, based on what you want to learn.

This class is perfect for children and adults, for beginners, intermediate and advanced students, wherever you are.

Some of the things you can learn with me include, but are not limited to:
- Dutch writing (e.g. a resume, essays, short stories or poems)
- Dutch reading (e.g. news articles, novels and stories or academic texts)
- Dutch listening (e.g. movies and tv shows, complex or simple conversations)
- Dutch speaking (e.g. having conversations, hosting an event, preparing a speech)
- Dutch grammar
- Dutch spelling

About Me

Hi everyone! I am Myrthe, a Dutch national living around the world. I love language learning and five years ago I discovered that I also love teaching languages. I am advanced in English and Dutch, fluent in Chinese and German, conversational in Spanish and am currently picking up Arabic.

I have three years’ experience as a Dutch teacher in Taiwan and four years’ experience tutoring kids aged between 3-14, both in Dutch and English. I have taught various subjects such as language, reading, writing, public speaking, science and more.

My teaching methods depend on your learning style. I am open to following your curriculum or can provide you with one based on your needs. My classes are focused on YOU and are 100% personalized to your desire.

For (younger) children I am a big fan of learning through play and music. I believe that using something within a child's specific interest is an easy way to pick up a new language.

I am also comfortable working with a textbook/method.
In case you decide to work with a specific textbook or method, I can arrange it for you, or you can provide one for me to teach from.

If you are the parent(s) of multiple children, I would be happy to teach them at the same time or different times. I’m sure we can make a good deal regarding rates.

I am also open to teaching adults. It would be a great opportunity for us to connect and engage in conversation or improve your skillset.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a lovely day!

TOEFL Test Preparation for Teens and Adults - Based on your learning preferences

28 € /h

English is the most widely known language across the world and is frequently used for international communication. That's why it's incredibly important and maybe even necessary to master the language. On top of that can it be very helpful to know English when looking for a job, applying for a course or degree program, or starting up a business. Being able to understand and speak English is often considered a pro, if not a requirement.

During this course I can help you prepare for your English test. We can practice together. In this course you can expect to learn and practice a few things:
- reading strategies that will help you find answers in a text
- listening strategies that will help you understand the conversations during the test
- grammar that will help you improve listening and reading
- the keys to writing a good essay during your test
- vocabulary to be able to understand and answer questions on the test

During the classes I will provide you with online materials. I can also give you homework that you can make and which I will check for you. After I check it we will discuss the wrong answers and focus on improving.

My classes are focused on YOU and your goal. That's why my teaching strategy will be based on your learning preferences and knowledge. If you are a visual thinker I will provide you with visualization to make the learning process easier. If you struggle at only a certain part of the test, we can focus on that part alone.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

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 use several methods which are specially conceived to teach Dutch to people who have a different mother tongue. I really like to use methods out of the ordinary like role games or methods with which you learn while playing. All these adapted to the student's situation of course. As I learned myself a couple of other languages, it is easy for me to detect difficulties a student can encounter and adapt the way of learning. I can teach in English, French, German and Russian.

In our class we will be relaxed, I will help you with the Dutch conversation, the grammar, reading (like an article or a topic what I will give you). I will help students for beginners-lower-intermediate level. After every lesson I will give you homework for the next lesson. Between the two lessons you can always ask me a question about the subject what we’ve discussed. If you have a subject what you’d like to learn about the Dutch language, let me know. I’m looking forward to see you in my class.

Teaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

My name is Yvette, I am a primary school teacher and educational psychologist and have more than 10 years of experience teaching Dutch abroad.
During an initial consultation, we'll discuss your needs. Why do you want to learn Dutch, and which aspects of the language should receive the most attention? Everyone has different goals and desires, and my lessons are tailored to them. I teach everyone, young and old, who wants to learn Dutch or improve their skills. I believe it's important to structure the lessons so that everyone gets the most out of each hour, while also allowing room for variety and improvisation. My experience as a teacher and educational psychologist has taught me how to quickly put people at ease. Moreover, I've personally experienced what it's like to learn a foreign language (German and English), so I can easily empathize.
