Nederlands voor beginners tot gevorderden ─ Dutch classes from A1 > C1: personally tailored language classes rooted in cultural context

as a Cambridge English CELTA-certified teacher & former corporate bank trainer I aim at maximal pupil involvement and participation during our classes: grammar points, vocabulary & pronunciation drills are intermingled with personally tailored cultural topics and songs so that the language you learn is rooted in the cultural context that fuels its production: reading and writing homework gets discussed in class, aided with grammar revisions and sparkled up with poetry and lyricism to awake a thirst in discovering new horizons in this beautiful Dutch tongue
we work at your pace, but be aware that some homework & home study is a prerequisite to proper language learning
try a single lesson, and if you like my teaching style, packages offer interesting discounted rates!

About Me

trained by Norbertines in Ancient Greek & Latin poetry & grammar, with a knack for etymology & a taste for philosophy
CELTA-certified by Cambridge English, I was a French summer camp teacher for two seasons, been tutoring a teen's home work & exam preparation for three years, was a nanny to wee tots in California for a year & a creative arts tutor at a San Francisco kindergarten; the last two years I worked as a corporate trainer for a Belgian bank
it wasn't until traveling far and wee and coming home that I discovered the humble strength of Dutch: its mellow and sappy sound pallet, the dynamics of its syntax & the vast range of glorious poetry it has to offer

City College of San Francisco graphic communication certificate
Cambridge English CELTA
European School of Bar Tending barista & mixology certificate

Marcel
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.

Carola
Dutch conversation for kids and adults, to read, to write and understand the language.
In our class we will be relaxed, I will help you with the Dutch conversation, the grammar, reading (like an article or a topic what I will give you). I will help students for beginners-lower-intermediate level. After every lesson I will give you homework for the next lesson. Between the two lessons you can always ask me a question about the subject what we’ve discussed. If you have a subject what you’d like to learn about the Dutch language, let me know. I’m looking forward to see you in my class.

Carolina
Dutch lessons for adults, teenagers and children, fully adapted to the needs of a student!
Hello everyone, in my class it is first of all important that the student feels comfortable! We will therefore first get to know each other better and you as a student can then tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. From there we draw up a schedule and step by step ensure that you as a student master the Dutch language. Some of you will come to me because it is necessary, for example an integration exam, some of you will come because they are going to work temporarily in the Netherlands, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My classes are tailored to your wishes so that you will feel truly comfortable. From young to adult students, I enjoy teaching all over the world. I hope to have made you curious and to meet and welcome you in my class :)

Irma
Dutch lessons at any level.
First of all, I think it is important that we have fun while learning. After all, that makes learning much more fun! In the lessons I am happy to help you with your grammatical questions about Dutch. We can also work on your speaking, writing and/or listening skills. Do you want help with your homework assignments? This is certainly possible! I would like to hear at what level you master the language and what you would like to learn. I like to challenge you but don't want to overwhelm you. The price for the lesson is for 1 person.

Enthusiastic teacher with a university degree and 20 years of work experience in the Netherlands offers Dutch and Turkish lessons for beginners and advanced students. I was born and raised in Turkey.

Astrid
Dutch lessons for young professionals as well as academic/university support
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. With advanced students we discuss the news based on newspaper articles. I speak fluent French, English, and Italian. I am a lawyer by training with 30 years of experience in international business. The ultimate goal of my lessons: to love Dutch and prepare for your future!

Ronald
NT2 and/or Dutch (possibly support for your thesis - I have two titles: MA and MEd). I was '(Nova) teacher of the year (2019)'.
Dutch? Just say it ... preparation exams? Fine. Do you want to know about spelling? Just ask. Larger vocabulary? Practice speaking/presenting? Grammar? Naturally. I teach and teach (semi) illiterates and academics, and I feel at home with all of them. Feedback from a student (non-Apprentus): "Hi Ronald I will miss our wonderful lessons so much [...]. You teach in such a warm and pleasant way, I enjoyed every second of it. [...] Thank you for this educational time and the nice words I received from you. Yours sincerely" [name known]
