DUTCH COURSE (For Expats, Beginners & Intermediate learners)

From 334.39 CNY /h

*** THE COURSE: This course is designed for adults (18+) who want to learn Dutch in a structured and motivating way. We’ll use the textbook "Nederlands in Gang", a complete method that takes you up to level A2 (and beyond, see below!). It’s a very comprehensive program, which makes guided lessons with an experienced teacher the perfect way to follow it.

*** YOUR TEACHER... CHRISTIAAN: My name is Christiaan, and I’m a Dutch teacher with over 8 years of experience teaching at an international school. I was born in the Netherlands and speak both Dutch and English fluently. Besides teaching languages, I’m also a piano teacher and I am writing a Dutch children’s book. People often say that those from Haarlem speak the clearest Dutch — so you’ll be in expert hands!

*** YOUR CURRENT ABILITY: If you already have some knowledge of Dutch, we can continue with the next books in the same series (Nederlands in Actie, Nederlands op Niveau, Nederlands naar Perfectie). The method includes self-checks and progress tests so you can clearly track your improvement.

*** THE LESSONS: Lessons are held online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom. If you live near Haarlem, you’re welcome to join in person. Weekly participation is essential. Learning a language takes dedication, but with consistent effort, you’ll be amazed at your progress. Whether you can study 15 minutes a day or an hour, we’ll find a rhythm that fits your schedule! Ready to start your Dutch journey? Let’s begin!

Extra information

- A laptop, tablet or phone is needed for the online lessons.

About Me

My name is Christiaan (41). I am a primary school teacher and I also give piano lessons in my free time. I have written a six-part piano method (pianoboekjes.nl). I am always busy with music and playing the piano. I am Dutch, but I also speak English.

Education

From the age of 8, I took piano lessons with Sherry van Baaren and later with Michael Markov in Enschede, as well as with several other piano teachers for shorter periods. Even at a young age, I always enjoyed playing the piano and would always try out the most challenging pieces.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been giving piano lessons for about five years alongside my work. I am good with children and know how to motivate them. Having written my own method and guided many different students on their musical journeys, I am well-equipped to train a student from the very beginning up to approximately conservatory entry level.

Start piano lessons now and discover a world of music! (Haarlem-Heemstede)

318.07 CNY /h

Learning to play the piano is incredibly fun! You'll learn something most people can't do, but would love to learn. You'll learn to read music, tap rhythm, use both hands simultaneously, play loudly and softly, recognize chords, and much more. Playing the piano is a true art, but almost anyone can learn it! With regular practice, you'll surprise yourself.

We start with a solid foundation, such as proper posture, hand position, reading music, and playing in tempo. For advanced students, the focus is on articulation, dynamics, phrasing, and how to play in a classical or popular style. My lessons emphasize rhythm and expression. It's not about being able to play something incredibly fast, but about being able to play a piano piece with feeling and in the right rhythm.

I'm now 41 and have been playing piano since I was 8. I started with simple pieces and took lessons from various teachers, including Sherry van Baaren. In Enschede, I studied with the Russian pianist Mikhail Markov for the correct interpretation of classical music such as Mozart sonatas and romantic pieces. All of this has led me to now teach piano myself and also to write my own piano method.

I work as a teacher at an international primary school in the Netherlands and am used to working with children aged 3-12. Four or five is the minimum age for piano lessons, but adults are also very welcome.

Sincerely,
Christian

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.

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

When you come to live in the Netherlands as a foreigner, it is important that you have a good command of the language. Speaking skills first where listening skills are indispensable.
We will get to work so that you can manage in the Dutch language. Together we will see what is needed for this.

I have an NT-2 certificate and experience as an NT-2 teacher for small groups.

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!

Ciao! I am a native Italian and English speaker and I have been teaching teenagers and adults in the last ten years. A History, Cultural Heritage and Chemistry graduate, I am especially passionate about linguistics and different cultures!

Our conversation lessons will help you learn and practice your Italian, whether you are a beginner or want to perfect the language. Topics will be tailored to your needs and can range from basic scenarios to more specific ones (professional, travel or cultural context). When necessary we can focus on specific grammar rules and expand vocabulary that is more important to you.

Approach - I always encourage the student to develop a personal connection to the language by exploring personal interests and real-life language use. In my lessons, I favour a flexible approach and encourage regular practice, which will definitely help you to develop your Italian and keep it active in the long run.

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.
