Hi! I am Maaike, a Dutch primary school teacher. Every day I'm doing by best to teach the Dutch language well to the childeren, but also other... languages such as English and Spanish. I have more than 12 years of experience as a teacher, in the Netherlands and abroad, to young and old! In the Netherlands I have experience in each grade, so I know exactly how the Dutch language is given in primary education. This can certainly help children, but also adults who want to learn the Dutch language in a correct way, having a good basic knowledge is the most important part of learning a new language. I lived in Spain for 3 years where I taught English to Spanish children and adults. During that period I also followed an intensive language course to learn the Spanish language. Currently I am learning Nepali through Skype. I know what it is like to learn a new language, what it involves and how the learning process works. I will first discuss with you what you would like to achieve by following the language lessons and what your needs are. Maybe it's just speaking skills, or grammar or listening skills, or a combination. In addition, I want to use my creativity to apply methods that work best for you, personalized language classes. :) My goal is to give you the feeling after each class that you've come one step closer to your personal goal! Feel free to request a trial class, so we can see what I can do for you and if my way of teaching suits you. See you soon! :) Read more

My name is Job and Dutch is my native language. I can help you with all the basics of speaking, reading and writing. I can also help you pass... exams that require dutch, like your inburgeringscursus (NT2a or CNAVT). I can teach students from A1 up to B2 level. Also, I passed for my TEFL for the English language, so there will be no problem with explaining the Dutch language. Discipline is the key to effective learning. I'm extremely organized, well-prepared for each of my lessons and I will never miss a single class. I have tons of study materials, which I hand out to my students after the class and customize lesson plans with. Each learning objective is met by the end of the lesson. Grammar and a sufficient range of vocabulary are impossible to overlook, and I value it in my approach. Dutch grammar can be tricky for non-native speakers. I go over concepts repeatedly until my students get the hang of it. Why choose me as your tutor? I am: --> Students passed for their exams with help of my lessons. --> Organised; always prepared for every lesson. --> Patient: we can continue as long as we need. --> Friendly --> Enthusiastic --> Like meeting new people from the rest of the world. My Methodology My classes are normally up to one hour. It's possible to have longer lessons If you prefer this. So far I have done over 1000+ lessons and gathered sufficient information that is useful in order to pass your exams or to get familiar with the language. My materials comprise of speaking, writing, grammar, reading and listening. During our lessons we shall cover all of these aspects. Here's a normal lesson plan with me if you're a beginner: - Vocabulary (5 min): discussing new learned verbs. - Pronounciation (10 min): reading a short story and building on vocabulary and articulation. - Writing (15 min): Q and A sessions where I write your answers down and further discuss sentence structures and mistakes. - Speaking (20 min): eloquently answering questions which are commonly asked in the exams. -Listening (10 min): listening to an audio of a short story and answering questions. The lesson plan varies according to your level of Dutch. Naturally, more advanced speakers focus on speaking and writing. I always make sure I'm prepared before our lesson starts, so we can start right away and make the most of your time. If you wish to have a well-organized and disciplined tutor who can help you achieve your goals and express yourself authentically - you can count on me! I will make sure you're on track and every minute of your learning experience is valuable. Dutch is a pretty straight-forward language, and so am I - do ask me anything you'd like to know!
