Learning Dutch

As a TEFL tutor with over five years of experience, I have helped students from diverse backgrounds improve their English proficiency, focusing on grammar, pronunciation, conversation skills, and exam preparation. My teaching approach is interactive, student-centered, and tailored to individual learning needs, ensuring engaging and effective lessons. In addition to English, I also teach Dutch to learners looking to enhance their language skills for personal, academic, or professional purposes. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your Dutch fluency, my structured lessons cover vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and cultural insights to make learning both practical and enjoyable. With a passion for languages and education, I strive to create a supportive and motivating learning environment that fosters confidence and progress.

Hi there! I am Raf, born and raised in Belgium but currently residing in Asia. I am 33 years old and I love to go climbing in my free time or play some games. I also love cooking and eating nice food. I have a 168 hours TEFL certificate and I have experience with teaching people of all ages. I worked face to face at Western International School in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I also have experience in teaching online. I use different teaching styles to keep it interesting and create variety. I think it is very important to learn a new language in a fun and energetic environment.

Hello there! My name is Vanessa and I am a business undergraduate. I am from the Netherlands and I am 24 years old. My hobbies are to sing, dance, listen to music, write songs and poems, reading, shopping, go for walks/explore nature and art! I have done tutoring in the English language, beginner Dutch language and beginner French language. Languages were my favourite subject group growing up. And as an ESL ex student myself, I can somewhat relate to learning English as a second language. I would say my teaching style is very observant/adaptable. Everyone is different in terms of what they know and what they need. I would like to know what your difficulties and strengths are. So that I can tailor lesson materials and delivery accordingly. I believe a combination of explanation, q&a, interactivity and practicality will do a pupil justice. Language is very dynamic so different techniques are involved to bring out the best output.

Education: Higher education. Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Faculty of Cybernetics. Teacher of the highest category. 24 years of work experience. I have been living in the Netherlands for three years. I teach Dutch language for foreigners at a college. Systematic preparation up to level A2+." 1. Where do I even start, there’s so much to do… 2. These words are so strange, how can I remember them? 3. I don’t understand anything when I listen to native speakers. 4. I’m afraid to make a mistake, it’s better to stay silent altogether. 5. I don’t have time to learn the language every day, and without that, it won’t work. 6. It’s so difficult, maybe I’m just not cut out for it? 7. I keep forgetting words all the time, what’s the point? 8. What if I say something silly and they laugh at me? 9. I probably don’t have a knack for languages. 10. I will never learn this language, it’s too difficult for me. 11. I’m already an adult, can you really learn a language at this age? 12. It seems to me that I will never speak fluently. 13. Maybe I should just give up and not torture myself? Do you see yourself in this? Then come join us. Don’t expect a huge leap – start with a small step. Step by step – and you will already be where you dreamed to be.
