Dutch is my mother tongue, I am Dutch and I suggest you improve your level of Dutch by focusing on conversation - pronunciation - learning to express yourself well - convincing shyness to speak. Of course also academic support - explanation of grammar - reading and understanding texts - writing and editing. Preparing for job interviews, raising the level of Dutch for professional use to a higher level, working with university students to prepare for their Dutch exams etc etc. I adapt my lessons to the needs of each student.

I aim my lesson at Dutch speakers who want to learn French, who have difficulties with it at school, or who simply want to refine their conversation skills.
French is my native language, and I have studied Latin and Greek, which gave me a deeper understanding of French grammar and language.

My goal is to restore confidence, explain things differently when necessary, and turn challenges into real successes. I primarily prepare students for the CE1D exam. First, we work together on each skill assessed during this test. Then, I guide the student through the practice of all these skills so they can approach the exam in its entirety with confidence and method.
Regarding the price, if you have financial difficulties, do not hesitate to inform me, we will find a solution. Money has never been a problem for me, the main thing is that your child improves his level and passes his exams.

I’m a passionate Dutch language trainer and certified coach who helps adults improve their communication skills in a professional context. Since 2014, I have been teaching Dutch to employees, managers and university staff in Brussels and beyond — always with a focus on clarity, confidence and authenticity.

My lessons are interactive, tailored to each learner’s goals and filled with real-life situations such as meetings, emails, small talk and presentations. As a coach, I integrate tools that build self-awareness and motivation, helping learners overcome fear or hesitation when speaking a new language.

I believe that learning a language is not just about grammar and vocabulary — it’s about expressing who you are. That’s why I combine language training with coaching techniques to create a safe and positive learning environment where progress happens naturally.

You propose a private course in the Netherlands (conversation and grammar) at the same level as the first level: the débutant at confirmation, for a secondary and superior level of knowledge, and for the whole person to be part of the language.

The method of articulating the axes principally, according to the principle:

1. Cours théoriques : apprendre ou parfaire ses connaissances de la langue à l'aide d'exercices de grammaire (conjugaison, construction de phrases), enrichir son vocabulaire.

2. Cours de conversation : entrainer à pratiquer la langue à partir de textes qui traitent de l'actualité ou de jeux de role.

You choose the appropriate adapter, the rhythm and the specific characteristics of the environment, to create a convivial atmosphere and the apprentissage.

A propos de moi :

Dutchophone de naissance, j'ai grandi aux Pays-Bas avant de déménager en Belgique où je vis depuis maintenant plus de quarante ans.

Since I am young, I appreciate my foreign languages (Français, English, et al.) and my interest in their features; It is important to note that this is an excellent understanding of the general manner of the business, but also helps to facilitate the development of the new language.

Since we are young, we have a tendency to accumulate experience and experience in the long term, and also continue to develop our individual collectives, young and old.
