I can offer a learning experience (content and pace) that is tailored to your needs - school work, grammar, preparation for DELF and DALF tests or just to have conversations. We can follow our lessons in a relaxed atmosphere while enjoying the various joys of learning a language. It is not just about learning conjugations by heart!

My belief is that each student is different and requires a tailor made lesson to meet that student’s needs and goals. Every class is personalised for your own profile and is adapted as needed. I give priority to conversation, convinced that even from the very first day, one can start to communicate in the new language and thus gain confidence to go on. I base my courses on the four essential competencies: speaking, listening, writing and reading, always focusing on your personal goals and motivation. I progressively integrate phonetics, grammar, conjugation, vocabulary in the courses which always include practical exercises. You will also learn a lot about the culture as it is deeply linked to the language. The pedagogic materials I choose are mostly created for native speakers : texts from literature, newspapers, radio podcasts, videos, songs.... Indeed, I am convinced that the learning process has to tackle « real subjects », as languages are alive and constantly changing. My main challenge is to help the learners to be able to « think » in the second language. The debate is the heart of my classroom, but always in a playful way, through many role games — for me learning a language is first and foremost a great joy !

Hi! My name is Bart, I am 31 years old, live in Amsterdam and I'm a Dutch (advanced) native speaker and teacher. Having lived in several countries I know what it's like to learn a foreign language and how challenging this can be. Especially Dutch, with it's unusual pronounciations and irregular forms and exceptions (and 'de and het'). During our lessons I will explain how to deal with these kind of issues and simplify them for you. I offer teaching for: - GROUPS - PRIVATE - INBURGERINGSEXAMEN How I teach: 1 - Your level and objective(s) At the start we will discuss your level and objectives. This way I can efficiently give you the help that you need. The levels I teach: 2 - Open communication I have an open way of teaching in which I encourage students to keep telling me what their difficulties are or where they would like to improve. In my experience this saves a lot of time and also makes the lessons more fun. 3 - Simplify I am good at listening and understanding why students are having difficulties with certain issues. This way I can simplify the issue and teach you Dutch in an easy and understandable way. 4 - Involved I am involved with my students' objectives and am constantly looking for the best and most efficient way to make progress.

I specialize in tutoring for students taking english course and introductory french course. I have undertaken a bachelors degree in History and Political Science and I am currently completing a masters in Urban Studies (Social Science) so I can assist students with work related to these subjects. In these subjects, I can help students get a richer and more complete understanding of material, give them focused attention on areas of difficulty and help them to prepare better for their classes. For tutoring in French and English I can also provide extra assignments to work through during the tutoring session. For English, History and Social Science I can tutor in Advanced level classes For French I can tutor in beginner and intermediate level classes. For students under 12, I can also assist with Math and Science homework.

This class aims to teach french language through different forms of study rather than a classic academic approach to language learning. For example those methods can be expressed in oral conversations, study of texts, art pieces, or movies in french, and of course more conventional teaching. I believe that a language is learnt better in it's cultural context and applications rather than though a decontextualized approach. If you are interested don't hesitate to ask any question.

As a native speaker, having experience in teaching french and having recently undertaken a training for teaching french as a foreign language, I can easily adapt to each student's level and needs. My classes focus mostly on communication, you will practice and lot. I work with students on original french documents, so they learn step by step vocabulary and grammar but always in a specific context that makes learning funnier and easier ! Whatever your level is, don't worry we can either start with the basics or build on the skills you already have. I have good knowledge of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages in order to properly assess and reference achievements of students. I can also answer to specific needs (exams, professional requirements, etc.) and help with french homework.
