Experience
Hi! My name is Bart, I am 31 years old, live in Amsterdam and I'm a Dutch (advanced) native speaker and teacher. Having lived in several countries I know what it's like to learn a foreign language and how challenging this can be. Especially Dutch, with it's unusual pronounciations and irregular forms and exceptions (and 'de and het'). During our lessons I will explain how to deal with these kind of issues and try to simplify them for you. How I teach: 1 - Your level and objective(s) At the start we will discuss your level and objectives. This way I can efficiently give you the help that you need. The levels I teach: - Beginners - Intermediate - MBO, HBO, University students (essays, cases, thesis etc.) - (Advanced) Dutch for professionals. 2 - 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. 3 - Simplify instead of complicate I am good at listening and understanding why students are having difficulties with certain issues. This way I can simplify the issue and teach you Dutch in an easy and understandable way. 4 - Involved I am involved with my students' objectives and am constantly looking for the best and most efficient way to make progress. The reason why I like teaching so much is because I enjoy showing people what they are capable of and to help them achieve their goals. At the same time I am becoming a better teacher after every lesson so, in fact, you are also teaching me :)
