    Dutch for non-native speakers and primary school students

    Hello, my name in Lies (Liz) and I’m from Belgium. Languages have interested me since I was little, that's why I want to make a job out of my interests. Sharing with others what you have learned and not let your knowledge go to waste, is one of the most fulfilling things there is.

    I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Japanology and a minor in Korean Studies. At first Japanese and Dutch don't seem to have much in common, but by learning a language yourself you come to understand the learning process and the needs of the students. I mainly like to teach those who don't have any prior knowledge of Dutch and primary school students.

    I currently work as a translator and a tutor on different platforms. During my student years, I also did various jobs that included teaching certain subjects to people/children. You can see that I have enough teaching experience.

    The materials I use for my lessons are supported by the government. The language I use for teaching is usually English or Dutch. I like to focus on the native language my students speak and try to find similar sounds, words or grammar between the original and target language. From my experience, I noticed that it really helps my students to grasp the meaning of certain sentences or grammatical structures and their pronunciation improved really fast. In my opinion, the practical part is more important than the theoretical part, so I use a lot of exercises in my lessons. You only learn a language by using it.

    Of course, if you have certain things you want to work on, or you already have some knowledge of Dutch, we can especially focus on those things. I’m very adaptable. But the most important thing is to love your language learning journey. The more fun you have doing something, the more you'll feel encouraged to get even better.

    About Me

    De Aziatische cultuur heeft mij al van kindsbeen af geïnteresseerd, daarom heb ik ook besloten om hier mijn studierichting van te maken. Ik heb mijn bachelordiploma behaald in de richting Japanologie (met minor in Koreaans), en kijk ernaar uit mijn kennis met anderen te delen.

    Education

    In het middelbaar heb ik talen gestudeerd en in deze richting wou ik verdergaan. Ik heb een bachelordiploma behaald aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in de richting Japanologie, met een minor in Koreaans.

    Experience / Qualifications

    Ik zit in mijn eerste jaar van lesgeven, maar ik heb wel gewerkt als monitor en animator, dus ik heb al een paar jaar ervaring in het onderwijzen.
    Asian culture has interested me since childhood, which is why I decided to make this my field of study. I completed my bachelor's degree in Japanology and look forward to sharing my knowledge with others. I also have some experience in teaching, thanks to previous student jobs. I currently also teach on various online platforms, my students are very satisfied with these lessons. For my lessons I mainly base myself on the books of Genki 1 and 2, and video material for some variety. In my opinion, learning grammar and speaking skills is the most important, but if there is an interest in, for example, listening skills, reading skills, writing skills, etc., this can certainly also be practiced.
    For my lessons I mainly base myself on the Integrated Korean beginning 1&2 books and video material to vary it up a bit. In my opinion, learning grammar and speaking skills is the most important, but if there is interest in, for example, listening skills, reading skills, writing skills, ... this can certainly be practiced. I took Korean classes at university and obtained a Postgraduate certificate in Korean Studies. So I am familiar with the difficulties of this "language learning journey", and thanks to this experience I know how to guide my students through them.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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]
