Learn Dutch in one or three months - experienced coach (20 years of experience) Staatsexamen NT2 trainer - inspired to teach Dutch to expats

Translated using Google Translate. Click to view original.
A qualified language coach with 20 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. Many private lessons
for optimal results.

In January 2023 I will also start groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near the Beurs metro station, lessons with separate tables at a distance of 1.5 meters, good air circulation with 5 students, so compact!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one on one or up to 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 1.0 hours once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level. This is the normal speed. Live classes last 1.5 hours, for 10 weeks to reach one level. Includes exam and certificate.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I'm used to delivering these very intensive trainings to CEOs who have just arrived ... and want all the lessons in 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

As soon as students improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the Staatsexamen II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.

I will try to switch to Dutch after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice.,

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 20 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles of the beginning.

I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

About Me

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 19 years, it feels like the first year, except the experience makes it even better.

Born in Brazil I discovered teaching at a young age (20) and have never stopped. My mother was a teacher of Dutch and I sometimes think this is more than a profession : it is a vocation.

Because my English was not good enough my father sent me to London to study English and this language became my third passion, now it shares a place with Dutch and Portuguese. I have lived in the UK five years (London and Plymouth) and loved it.

After this British adventure, I studied Portuguese in Portugal because I had an opportunity there to work & study, which helped me a lot to learn the essence of grammar and literature, but my 19 years experience in teaching makes it complete.

Being a spokesperson of a Dutch Ministry I developed my Dutch further and further to a very high level ofcommunication.. 10 years ago I started to teach Dutch to expats, were struggling with the difficult brekthrough after reaching level A-1. This is really my ‘niche’.

Nowadays I teach more and more Dutch to Expats and Foreign Students, but it is a tight race with Portuguese.

As a teacher I try to explain the how of grammatical topics, to keep it interesting. Sometimes with for instance a historical annotation, which students love to learn too. I will also teach about our complicated social culture, this is interwoven in the course.

You will be inspired, but never bored !

Marcelo laat je in je waarde
Erg fijne live startles! Zeer relaxed en laagdrempelig maar ook erg gestructureerd en resultaatgericht. We hebben zin in het vervolg! Aanrader!
Fijne rustig iemand, die alles goed uitlegt, een plezier om van hem les te krijgen.
1e les gehad en zeer goede indruk. Marcelo stemt de les goed af op ons niveau en neemt de tijd. We kijken uit naar de volgende.
Ik heb zelf voorafgaand aan een zakelijke periode in Brazilie les gehad van Marcelo, zowel in groepsverband als prive. Marcelo is ontzettend goed in het helder uitleggen van grammatica en het geven van een inkijk in de BR cultuur. Daarnaast een ontzettend fijn persoon om mee te werken. Jammer dat de lessen voorbij zijn!
...
Oi Tudo bem? Mijn naam is Marcelo en ik kom uit São Paulo. Ik geef Portugees en Braziliaans Portugees in Den Haag en Rotterdam Centrum. Gelukkig kan ik mijn universitaire studies en 20 jaar praktische leservaring zodanig combineren dat de lessen goed onderbouwd en stimulerend zijn. Ik heb in Brazilië en Portugal gewoond en gestudeerd, dus ben een ‘native speaker, met veel kennis van de bijbehorende cultuur. Door speling van het lot, ben ik tweetalig. Jarenlang heb ik ook business trainingen gegeven aan twee zeer bekende taalscholen, dus ik weet hoe ik in korte tijd veel kennis kan overdragen. Dat voel je als cursist al gelijk bij de eerste les. Zakelijk Portugees of met spoed leren (binnen 10 werkdagen) is ook mogelijk. Ik heb een KvK en BTW nummer. Ik heb veel ervaring met geven van lessen per Skype of Whereby (Whereby is professioneler en Europees), al voor de crisis omdat ik ook cursisten in andere landen les geef. Bij virtuele lessen ontvangt u een transcript van de les per email, na afloop van de les. Lessen bij mij thuis zijn ook mogelijk met 1,8 meter afstand en goede circulatie. Mijn lessen zijn zeer gestructureerd en stap voor stap. Daarnaast leg ik altijd het 'waarom' uit van een grammaticaal onderwerp, dat een link creëert die ook beter werkt voor het geheugen en de les interessanter maakt. Omdat ik zo resultaatgericht ben, probeer ik trainees met een zachte hand de trap naar de volle spreekvaardigheid op te helpen en mijn taak is om de lessen zo leerzaam en aantrekkelijk mogelijk te maken. Abraços (vriendelijke groeten) Marcelo

Yasmine
Homework guidance/Prive lessons MAVO/HAVO/VWO AND PRIMARY SCHOOL
Underachieve? Getting low grades and not knowing why? No motivation to study? It is often difficult for parents to estimate whether the child needs tutoring. And if it is certain that the child needs tutoring, 9 out of 10 times it is too late (stay put, advice too low, etc..) to prevent this, sign up NOW for homework guidance! for both high school and elementary school students. I can come to the tutoring student myself (at home) or via facetime, teams and video calling.

Marthe
An enthusiastic and hard working French and English Tutor
Half German living in Brussels and having studied in an International School, I am fluent in French, English and German. I am currently doing my masters in Rotterdam at RSM and would like to offer French and/or English classes to students. I believe communicating with students in the language they would like to learn is key if they want to become confident in the language. Hence, I suggest doing skype classes or real life meetings at home or outdoors depending on your preferences and talking together will be very helpful for the student to improve in a particular language. I will also help with homework, grammar and the theoretical side of the language if desired. I have been a counsellor in summer camps in Canada where I had to teach small children aged from 5-15 English. Some of them didn't even know a single word of English when they arrived. It was very hard but we managed to get to know each other, communicate well and believe me, their English improved a lot.
