About Me
italki teacher since Jan 22, 2023Interest topicMusicSports & FitnessHistoryTravelArt
My name is Julius and I come from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I am 39 years old and have almost 20 years of teaching experience. I have BA teaching degree in history for secondary education, but have spent most of my teaching years teaching Dutch and English. Over the past few years I also taught Dutch at a refugee center in the Netherlands as a volunteer to groups of Syrian and Ukrainian families, next to my normal job as IT specialist at the International School of Amsterdam.
Currently I live in Portugal, but I have lived in Holland, Spain and Ireland before. I love playing guitar/writing music (I sing in Dutch), surfing and photography.Me as a Teacher
Characteristics that are important to mention and define me as a teacher:
1. I am patient. There is no point in rushing new grammar rules if the student(s) are lost. The student should never feel rushed.
2. I am sociable and friendly. This will make a lesson more and enjoyable for both the student and myself. I am also very interested in the student. I believe that a student learns better and quicker if the teacher shows genuine interest in the student.
3. I am creative. I have been a musician all my life. I believe there are many different and alternative ways of learning a language rather than just doing exercises from a textbook.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are always based around a theme or topic regardless the level of the student. In every lesson there will be room for: reading, writing, listening and speaking. I think that repetition is key in learning a new language. Repetition can be done in various ways, such as songs, games, poems or maybe storytelling.
Last but not least: Every lesson should be fun! If a lessons isn't any fun and boring even, there is little chance that the student will learn anything.My teaching material

Ik ben erg blij met deze leerar! Ik ben op mijn derde les en ik heb mijn Nederlands verbeterd en het is heel gemakkelijk om te onthouden wat ik tijdens de lessen leer. Ook door oefenen gedurende de week.

I was away from the lesson for a few months but Julius was very kind to support me and guided me very well. He corrects my grammar and pronunciation mistakes very well which I appreciate it.

Het was heel leuk om met Julius te praten!
Hij corigeert mijn Nederlands op een manier die ik goed kan leren. Ik kijk ernaar uit om zijn les opnieuw te volgen.
