As non-native parents it is certainly not easy to teach your children Dutch or to help with the fluency of the new language. Who wants some... extra exercise for his children? I can help you with that. As their vocabulary becomes more and more extensive and their sentences become increasingly fluid, your children will get more and more self-confident. To speak well the Dutch language will surely benefit them now and later. Do your children need some help with their homework, especially with their Dutch, then I can help with that. Even as non-native-speaking adults, it is sometimes difficult to have enough exercise. That is why also adults who want to make progress in speaking the Dutch language are welcome here! We can practice the everyday language together. Read more

I teach: Italian, Dutch, Spanish

Hi! I've been teaching Dutch, Spanish and Italian for many years, in The Netherlands for private institutes and for the integration of... foreigners into society, and online from Italy, where I currently live. I identify your strengths and weaknesses, helping you in becoming confident with the language so that you will start speaking it from the very beginning. It's a step by step process but by focusing on conversation and pronunciation, you will be satisfied with the results. I offer regular methods but adapting my teaching style to your needs. Also, we will work with articles and books to talk about topics of your interest, videos and the news. I'm looking forward to meeting you! Read more
