About Me
italki teacher since Apr 6, 2023InterestsFoodScienceMusicTravelHistory
8 years ago I finished my studies with a second bachelor in Business, with great honorees. Immediately after that I started travelling and I never really stopped. I have lived in Korea, Philippines, Australia, New-Zealand and travelled around in 20+ other countries. Along the way, I picked up fire dancing as a hobby, and there I discovered a passion for teaching.
To fund these travels, I worked as a Logistic Planner, Lab Assistant, Hotel Manager, Property Manager, WH Supervisor, HR-consultant and Carpenter.
Three years ago, I started helping immigrants with their English. Now, I am TEFL certified and ready to help you with your struggles in learning a new language.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I love one-on-one classes. I listen to your goals and we go from there.
I offer 2 types of lessons to choose from, that we alter together to reach your goals:
- Conversational Class ==> through interesting conversations, I help you build vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Perfect for both kids and adults who want to practice and improve!
- Traditional Class ==> with 3 course books, we tackle all kind of grammar topics or industry-specific vocabulary based on your needs. This is a structured, well-prepared class for absolute beginners and people looking to get better in Dutch! No need to buy additional course books, I send you screenshots of all the pages ;)My lessons & teaching style
With the conversational classes, we dive into your passions. We'll explore relevant articles together, creating a positive learning experience.
Dive into 'Dutch in 3 Months' or 'Basic Dutch' for creating some solid basics, from alphabet to sentence structure, boosting your confidence to converse fluently. These basics you will have to drill, because you can't build a house if you don't have a good foundation.
Already have a good foundation, but you want classes to improve? 'Intermediate Dutch' will get you forward with challenging topics and in-depth grammar.
On top of all these courses, i make my own exercises for you, to ensure that you retain everything you've seen with me.My teaching material

I cannot recommend Quinten enough. Lessons with Quinten are always engaging and fun, he can pick up on the mistakes I keep making and provide an explanation for everything I don't get straight away - and there's a lot of it in my case. Which brings me to the point that he's also very patient and, most importantly, he has loads of useful materials and articles to share with you - tailored to your level and needs, of course.

Quinten is awesome, I honestly really look forward every week to our lessons. I like them so much that I even got my brother to also start taking lessons from Quinten! They are always super engaging and fun, and that's down both to his great personality and smart teaching style. I've been meeting with Quinten for a few months now and have definitely noticed significant improvement. In fact, the other day I was even able to have a conversation with my opa completely in Dutch for 30 minutes (I probably wouldn't have been able to do even 5 minutes back when we started), and I would attribute a lot of that to these lessons I've had with Quinten. Thank you Quinten, and looking forward to many more lessons!

I had a lot of fun chatting with Quinten and swapping stories about about world travels from Belgium to Burma and on to Belize. He patiently offered me some helpful corrections for my mistakes, written on-screen for me to see during a break in the chat. This is helpful as it lets me practice talking without breaking the flow, and then review areas where I can improve

Ik was tevreden met de proefles. Alles verliep soepel en volgens verwachting. Quinten was vriendelijk en professioneel en ik voelde me goed geholpen.
