My name is Guy and I'm a Dutch native. I started tutoring in December 2022 and I’ve gained a lot of experience since then. Apart from tutoring, I work as a journalist for a local newspaper and as a text writer. Throughout the years, I’ve found that I like to work with the Dutch language and to get to know people from all over the world in the process.

Most of the classes I give are conversation classes, with topics ranging from buying a bread at the bakery to professional and news related topics for advanced students. I can help you in becoming more knowledgeable in the Dutch language, but above all, I can help you to become more confident and fluent in Dutch conversation. I teach all levels, from beginner to advanced. I focus mainly on adult learners, but teenagers are welcome too.

Beginning students need a lot more explanation than advanced students, so I adjust my lessons according to the level and interest of the student.

I sometimes give listening and reading exercises during classes if the student likes this. These exercises can help you to recognize authentic Dutch speech or text better and are adjusted to your level. If you wish to do homework, I have many exercises such as gap-fill and translation exercises.  

Apart from being a native Dutch speaker, I speak English fluently and some German. I also have a limited command of the French and Spanish language and I'm currently learning Khmer (Cambodian).

My teaching experience
I’ve been gaining experience as a tutor since December 2022, and it has become not only my job, but also my hobby. I love to help people with learning this small but challenging language and getting to know many interesting people from all over the world in the process.

To become more confident and gain some didactic skills, I’ve completed a digital language teaching course. I also take language classes myself (Khmer). These classes help me to understand what a foreign language learner needs. 

Book a trial with me!
I invite you to book a trial lesson with me. We'll start by getting to know each other. After that, I'll tutor you and teach you a few new things already. We'll wrap up with an evaluation and discuss a plan for future classes.  

If you have any questions regarding my tutoring, just send me a message. I hope to see you in our first class!
