About Me

Bonjour à tous! Hello everyone!
Being born in Belgium, I grew up in a multilingual (French / Dutch) context. Early on at school I already discovered my interest in language and culture which grew out to a passion for language, food and travel.
Me as a Teacher
I've been a teacher for 7 years now. I gathered my theoretical knowledge during my academic education (Master of Arts in Linguistics and Literature French / Spanish). However, it is mostly my practical experience which allows me to provide practical and hands-on tutoring (Specific Teacher Training in Languages and 6 years of experience as a French teacher).
The most attractive quality of (online) tutoring is the fact that I can teach goal oriented, in function of the specific needs of the student. I offer interactive lessons. Based on my experience with students of different ages and different levels of language proficiency, I'm able to offer a variety of exercises in different aspects of the language skills: oral, written (both active and passive). I use a wide range of authentic resources (audio / video / texts) to encourage your participation and progression. The most important to me is to make you speak as naturally and confidently as possible.

A qualified language coach with 25 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.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.

In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).

We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-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 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.

This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

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

I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 25 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.

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

Hello! I’m Mahmood and I currently live in Gouda (South-Holland). I came to The Netherlands some time ago. As an Expat I know how tough it is to learn a new language, especially the Dutch language with its tough pronunciations and sentence structures. Being an Expat I understand much better what the challenges are that other Expats needs to go through to learn Dutch

I am specialized in preparing Expats and other immigrants for the Basic Civil Integration Examination (Basisexamen Inburgering). I can also teach about the Dutch social culture and History of The Netherlands.

Also I teach Dutch till A2 level or to the people who like to learn Dutch as a hobby.

I teach one on one as well as to Groups (I provide discount for Groups).

What can I teach you? :
- Read and Write in Dutch
- Sound like a Native Speaker
- Participate in Basic Conversations and Use Daily Phrases
- Understand and Pick Up on Basic Conversations

My method of teaching:

i) Starting discussion
At the start, we will discuss your level and objectives. This way I can efficiently give you the help that you need.

ii) 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.

iii) Simplify instead of complicate
I am good at listening and understanding why students are having difficulties with certain issues. The thing in which I’m best is explaining complicated things in a simple way.

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.

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.

Teaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

Hello!

Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands, Flanders, and also in South Africa and Suriname, with some variations. Dutch is more than just a language; it's a culture!

Discover Dutch courses designed for French speakers who want to progress with confidence, precision, and enjoyment. As a native speaker, born in Hasselt and raised in Flanders, I have studied diction, elocution, and drama. My Dutch is therefore not just my mother tongue: it's a language I master, use, and pronounce with professional precision.

I am a sworn translator and interpreter for Dutch and have been teaching since 2005. I have taught in recognized institutions such as the Language Academy, the CLL, My Sherpa, as well as in compulsory education, including language immersion programs. This diverse experience allows me to adapt my methods to all levels: beginners, advanced learners, children, adults, and professionals.

My courses cover all skills: listening comprehension, conversation, reading, writing, and pronunciation. Each student benefits from personalized, structured, and motivating support in a caring environment where progress is tangible.

As a self-employed person with a secondary occupation, my activities are declared and I am up to date with my contributions to the UCM.
