About me

Hello, my name is Tim and I'm from the Netherlands (Holland). I speak standard Dutch (ABN). I am an experienced teacher of Dutch as a second language.

I'd like to help you with Dutch as well , and besides I like culture, history, and geography. You are most welcome to send me a PM for further info!

I have seven years of experience in language teaching, during which I have learned how to tailor blended learning methods to your needs and interests with the goal of improving your Dutch. Additionally, I have worked as a coach in various sectors in the Netherlands. I hold a TEFL certification and have acquired extensive teaching experience at the University of Amsterdam (UvA), instructing both adults and children. I utilize custom-designed materials and platforms tailored to each student's level, profession, and specific needs, including fields like IT, medical, agriculture, construction, and business. I look forward to working on your Dutch with you!

I am continually developing and seeking out new materials tailored to your needs. Combined with my experience, these resources will significantly enhance your Dutch skills! Besides assisting you with your use of Dutch and focusing on your profession, role, and interests, I like to focus on different aspects of culture such as food, art, street culture, music, and history.

Schedule a class with me to get to know each other and clarify your goals and level of Dutch. You can also send me a message and I'll get back to you in no-time! Tot ziens!
