Native Dutch tutor for every age/level
Hi :)
My lessons are constructed from a variety of exercises that I will assemble according to your needs. In the introduction we will establish your current level followed by marking your personal goal. In our 'real' lessons there is time for explanations on all the topics that concern you (grammar, vocabulary, orthography, speech, sentence construction, etc.), followed by some personalised exercises. We will do some of them together during our lessons, so I can support you and explain them. And then I will give the rest to you so you can practice at home in your own time. Together we will definitely tackle your goal.
I strive to talk Dutch in our lessons, but if need be I can give explanations in English or in German.
Hope to see you soon!

Hello! My name is Hiltje,
I am a Dutchie and have been living in Romania since 1997. I would love to teach you my mother-tongue "Nederlands".
I like to impart Dutch daily-life culture, history, and traditions in our lessons and conversations.

Learn Dutch with personalized classes and interesting conversations!
Hallo! I'm Pauline, and I would love to help you improve your Dutch. In my classes, the focus will be on conversation and interactive teaching. We will discuss what your needs and goals are, and adapt the classes so that they are perfect for you! This is what a typical class can include:
- I will offer you some useful grammatical tools which you can build on. We will practice these through conversation to make sure you completely understand each concept and are comfortable using it.
- We will have conversations tailored to your level about something that sparks your interest. Although it might seem scary, talking in Dutch regularly is how you will improve the fastest!
- We make use of articles, lyrics, and other multimedia to explore not only the language but also the culture.
- I will direct you to some resources/suggest some small tasks so that you can keep practicing outside of my classes as well. This is of course not mandatory.
- We keep track of your progress and evaluate regularly if the classes fit your needs and whether it is going in the direction YOU want it to go.
I'm a Belgian girl, and I love playing the violin, reading, decorating, going to museums & concerts and much more! I'm very interested in languages and cultures, so this is why I want to share mine with you. I taught myself Spanish, which gave me a lot of insight about what is helpful when learning a language. I hope to see you soon!

Enthusiastic native Dutch tutor helps you speak with confidence
Hoi! I'm Amarins originally from the Netherlands, but now living in Spain.
After helping my Australian boyfriend passing the Dutch 'inburgeringsexamen' and working as a coach in my previous job, teaching Dutch online was a logical step. Helping others improving their Dutch while working with different nationalities really brings me joy. Now I would like to help you!
My approach to teaching depends on you as a student and your goals . For my students who are just starting to learn Dutch I use an online program in which you can practice outside lessons as well. We also focus on speaking a lot so you can make connections with your friends, in-laws or neighbors. For my more experienced students, I adapt the lessons to your needs too. Whether it is preparing for an exam, wanting to master the different past tenses or needing more specific vocabulary for an internship, I am here to help you.
With my patience I encourage you to express yourself more confidently in Dutch while enjoying the process.
I would love it if you book a trial lesson now so we can start working together on reaching your Dutch goals!

Qualified Dutch teacher with more than 2000 hours of experience in online teaching
Until the start of the COVID 19 crisis, I was teaching both online and in a language institute. But since the start of the crisis, I have been teaching online full time. Iยดve always loved meeting people and talking to people. So, working as a teacher was a logical step. By now, I have taught more than 2000 online classes and received training in NT2 teaching from the University of Leuven. My students tell me they like my classes because I am patient, have a sense of humor and because I make them feel comfortable in speaking the language that we are learning.
With beginners, I like to use a structured approach that focuses on all aspects of the language. With advanced students, it depends on their goals. Sometimes I use a structured approach, but if they are going for a job interview, want to be able to communicate better with family/school/โฆ, or have other specific goals, my classes will be very different. I will also adjust the classes to the learning style of every student.
I enjoy myself when I teach and my students do too. If you have fun while you learn, youยดll learn faster and stay motivated. I also get a lot of satisfaction out of helping my students reach their goals. I've helped people get a better job, have more fun in Belgium and the Netherlands, pass exams such as CNaVT, SELOR and inburgeringsexamen. If you need some help, Iยดll be happy to assist.

Renee V
Experienced Dutch teacher (3000+ hours) for absolute beginners to intermediate students
Hello, my name is Renรฉe. I am an experienced and passionate Dutch teacher.ย I teach absolute beginners to intermediate students, starting from 13 years old and above.
What can I help you with? Dutch basics, grammar, job interviews, conversational Dutch, etc.ย
I will provide you with customized lessons, adjusted to your needs. All materials are provided by me. I use NT2 materials (LINK+, De Opmaat, De Sprong and Koffiepraatjes), voice recordings, online material, Word-documents, and much more. After each lesson you will receive the material for your next lesson, so that you have enough time to prepare.
My lessons are relaxed, fun, structured, informative and of course educational. What I find important when teaching a language to my students, besides teaching what you need to know, is to provide patience, understanding, motivation and guidance.ย I know how challenging it can be to learn a new language, and I will guide you through it each step of the way. I will provide you with constructive criticism and will keep you updated about your progress.ย
When you are a beginner, we will first focus on building up some basic vocabulary and work on pronunciation. After that you will learn the fundamentals of Dutch grammar, and then we will fully focus on the practical use of Dutch with lots of speaking, listening, reading, and writing exercises.
I am looking forward to meeting you. See you soon!

Enthusiastic Dutch tutor with over 8 years of teaching experience
Hoi!
I am Melanie and I have over 8 years of experience teaching English and Dutch to students of all ages and levels. ย
I teach the basics of Dutch to beginners, help intermediate and advanced students to improve their communication skills and prepare NT2 students to successfully pass their B1 and B2 exams.ย My classes are tailor made to the needs of each individual student, but also have a fixed structure with a strong focus on grammar, pronunciation and communication.
In my opinion people learn best when they enjoy what they are doing and when they are provided with guidance that is attentive to their needs. I want my students to feel at ease, relaxed and confident during class, but I also expect my students to be actively involved in learning Dutch. My goal is to provide a strong foundation that can be used to actively build new knowledge upon.ย In that way, students will become confident Dutch speakers.
No matter what level you currently have, we will work together to elevate your Dutch to the next level!
I hope to see you soon in class.
Groetjes,
Melanie
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to find a Dutch tutor near me in Leeuwarden?
If you prefer not to learn online with tutor, LanguaTalk may not be the right choice for you. Instead, you can search for tutor, we recommend giving online learning a try as it is often as good as in-person learning and allows you to access better tutors at a lower cost. You can also book a free trial session to see if it is right for you.

You can also join group lessons with Dutch tutors in Leeuwarden if you prefer a social learning experience. Alternatively, you can take one-on-one lessons with a private tutor, which is more expensive but may be the most effective option if you have a good tutor.

How much do Dutch tutors in Leeuwarden charge per hour?
Our research indicates that the average cost for private Dutch lessons in Leeuwarden is between $25-$35 per hour. Online tutors do not need to travel to you and often live in countries with a lower cost of living, so the hourly cost is generally lower.
What are the differences between learning Dutch online with a tutor and learning face-to-face with a tutor in Leeuwarden?
Sometimes students tell us that they're not sure about learning Dutch online because they think itโll be completely different to learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a solid relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen tutor, youโll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor will typically also share learning resources with you (newspaper articles, YouTube, etc.) and youโll be able to collaborate in real-time using a tool like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk offer in-person Dutch lessons in Leeuwarden?
Some tutors on LanguaTalk may offer local lessons, but most only provide online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. In addition, many tutors do not teach Dutch in Leeuwarden as they live elsewhere in the world. If you book a lesson with a tutor, you should assume that it will be online unless the tutor specifically states that they offer in-person lessons in Leeuwarden.
The advantage of taking lessons online is that you can learn at any time and from any location. When you select a tutor, check their calendar to ensure that they have available slots that fit your schedule. Some tutors may have limited availability due to high demand from other students.
Most students take 55-minute lessons. However, some tutors also offer the option of 30-minute lessons. If this is available, it will be noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the 'Buy Lessons' button).
In general, we recommend 55-minute lessons for most students. You may want to consider 30-minute lessons only if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice, or if the lesson is for a child.
