Dynamic Dutch courses with a smiling native speaker ;-)

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.

About Me

Hello, my name is Marcel, I am Dutch and I love languages. I really enjoy teaching languages or practicing them either by speaking, reading or writing. I have lived in several different European countries and have met a lot of different people with different accents. I learned French in France, but now I've been living in Brussels for 20 years. Today I speak French fluently, but it didn't happen overnight, so I know the difficulties of learning another language. I am married and a father of two children (14 and 11) whom I educate in Dutch. As they grow up in a predominantly French-speaking environment, I see and work with them the problems they encounter. I also take Russian lessons (so I know what it's like to be a student). I can teach in French, English, German, Russian and of course in Dutch :-) Looking forward to meeting you!

Education

I studied in the Netherlands where I lived until I had the of 23. I did the equivalent of a graduate in tourism there - for two years I have been training as a coach.

Experience / Qualifications

30 years of experience learning and speaking other languages - trying to improve them. 10 years of experience as a language teacher

Reviews (17)

Marcel is een ontzettend prettige leraar waarbij ik me comfortabel voel en daardoor makkelijk Frans praat
Marcel came prepared with a plan to introduce language fundamentals to build on. He was patient and encouraging through the lesson.
Marcel s'adapte au niveau et connaissance d'autres langues de l'élève. Le premier cours était intense, mais très interactive, et après une seule heure j'ai appris à lire, conjuguer les verbes, des phrases basiques et même de compter jusqu'à 100! Je n'ai aucune doute qu'avec Marcel, je vais vite apprendre à parler néerlandais :)
After a few lessons I can only recommend him. Learning with Marcel is fun and effective.
Very nice first lesson! :)
...
I like to use different methods to teach French to students. It can be through songs, drama, role play or videos. I also very often use situations close to the student's experience, such as describing places they have been or talking about what they have experienced. At the same time, I teach the grammar rules to the student. I now live in regions where French has been spoken for over 30 years. Because I have learned French myself (and I am still learning other languages), I can easily put myself in a student's shoes. I can teach in French, Dutch, English, German and Russian.

Gino
English teacher (mother tongue) gives lessons at all levels individually or in small groups
Method adapted to the needs of the student. Different "tools" will be used (videos, exercises, scenarios ...). The emphasis will be on practice and orality (importance of the accent to express yourself well and be understood). I guarantee we shall have a jolly good time!

Serdane
Dutch courses for high school / adult students
My name is Serdane and I offer Dutch courses to high school and adult students who have trouble developing a work method that suits them. Extrovert and bubbly ... and above all, a lot of humor! I think language learning is primarily about developing a suitable learning method. Some learn the languages ​​intuitively by throwing themselves into the bath of conversation. Others, on the contrary, need to be exposed to the grammatical concepts in a rigorous way before starting the conversation. There are so many ways to learn that there are students ... That's why I adapt my courses to everyone's needs, and most importantly, I try to help students discover what works for them. him so that he can continue to progress independently. Having received a bilingual education and part of my schooling in Dutch, I have a perfect command of the language. After high school in Saint-Boniface, I did a double bilingual bachelor's degree (law) and economics at Saint-Louis University, then a law degree at UCL (completed in June 2018). including an Erasmus in German at the University of Vienna. This varied career allowed me to develop a solid working method. My areas of expertise: - Enhancement - catching up - Grammatical reviews - Conversation course - Method of work (organization, schedule of revisions, etc.) My price includes a complete tutoring (private lessons, the possibility to ask questions outside class hours, writing and correcting questions, etc.).

ENGLISH - from a qualified and experienced bilingual teacher
Hi! If you are struggling to get to the next level with your English I can help, whether you are a beginner or fluent, young child or happily retired. I am bilingual, a qualified and experienced English teacher with several years' of private tutoring as well as language school teaching. One of the things I have found important with teaching at any level has been to make sure that passive vocabulary becomes active through speaking (and writing). Therefore I tend to ask my pupils to learn vocabulary between classes so that we can put them to use together. I can teach online (during office-hours) as well as in person in my home or your home (evenings and weekends). I am happy to teach people in small groups.

Nina
Languages: French, Dutch and English; Sciences: Math, Biology, Chemistry
I am a bioscience engineering student (masters) and fluent in French, Dutch and English. In my language classes, I combine written and verbal aspects of the language and focus on the difficulties of the student to make sure the student feels comfortable with the language. I prepare my class beforehand according to the needs of the student and the content of his/her course. In my science classes, I start with a general overview of the matter to make sure the basics are understood. Furthermore, I will make sure the student feels comfortable solving problems or understanding pathways and mechanisms. I prepare my class beforehand according to the needs of the student and the content of his/her course.

Aline
Learn Dutch or help with homework.
I did all my secondary years in Dutch and I continue my university studies also in Dutch at the VUB. I can help your children with homework in Dutch. I can just as much give in-depth lessons to young people in high school or young adults.

Emma
Private lessons in English - French - Dutch - Chemistry. Help with homework and schedule achievements.
Student at the IHECS in 3rd. I was at the Athénée Robert Catteau until Secondary IV, and then at the Athénée Adolphe Max where I obtained my CESS in Languages-Economics. In my free time, I can help your children study and do their homework in a good mood, while remaining serious! I am open and patient but sometimes maybe a bit too perfectionist ... I have many tools like grammatical aids, my old lessons, books to learn a language (Headway, Choices, Tandem, ...). Do not hesitate to contact me!

Sebastian
German course for adults and teens! (All skill levels)
I am a German native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides German, I speak English, Swedish, Spanish, French and Italian. Having learned 6 languages myself, I am 100% convinced that I will successfully teach you German(in a fun and relaxed manner)! Therefore, I offer a money-back guarantee: Should you not be satisfied with the results of a course with me, I will reimburse you! I have been teaching since 2018 and am currently one of the most-reviewed teachers on this platform. I encourage you to pause here and have a look at my reviews. I am confident that you too will have a similar view after having had some classes with me. On top of teaching here on Apprentus, I have taught offline group classes for the Volksuniversiteit The Hague (A Volksuniversiteit (litt. folk university) is an institute for non-formal adult education in the Netherlands). I also taught for and underwent training with Berlitz, which is one of, if not THE largest language school in the world, operating in over 70 countries and 500+ locations. I am 33 years old, have an honours degree from Leiden University, The Hague, am calm, encouraging, and, most importantly, PATIENT. My main objective in classes is to make the student feel relaxed and at ease. I encourage you to speak without fear of making mistakes. In fact, I celebrate making mistakes. "Why?", you may ask. Well, making mistakes means that you are leaving your comfort zone. You are trying something that you are not already skilled at. You don't choose the easy path! People who never make mistakes are stagnant. Therefore, making mistakes should be CELEBRATED instead of shunned! So, good on you for mispronouncing "Nachmittag (Afternoon)", or using the wrong grammar when making a sentence! Here, let me help you get it right this time! :) Do you already have German knowledge? No problem! Instead of building the basics, we can design classes that meet your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can hold presentations about topics of your interests or topics that I provide, we can discuss current events, hold debates, you can write news-paper article summaries, or we deep dive into advanced grammar. Whatever it is that you enjoy and need: We can do it together. All my classes combine speaking, listening & grammar exercises in interaction with me. Unless you're a very advanced student, we will work with learning materials created by some of the best publishers for language learning in Germany. These materials serve as a red thread for our course that introduces new words, grammar, and exercises in a good pace and interesting manner which keeps you engaged and motivated. Furthermore, I show you German food, music and places. On top of that, I introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level! Another important factor for me is having a personal connection. Unless you prefer to "stick to business", which is fine as well, we typically start our classes by talking about how the weekend or preceding weekdays have been. I don't see my students as a resource to be extracted, but as people for whom I develop a genuine interest. Over the course of time, we both know what is going on in our respective lives and update each other about small or big life events. Having taught many students for multiple years, I can gladly say that I have made real friends thanks to our classes, some of which I even have met in real life. I am extremely confident that you very soon will have the same success that I have had in learning languages! So what are you waiting for? Get in touch now to book an initial meeting in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn about you, your needs and wishes, which will allow us to design the optimal course for you. See you soon! Bis bald! Sebastian
