Casual Conversations or Structured Classes, you decide! 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've 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. 4 years ago, I started helping immigrants with their English in Canada. Then a friend immigrated to the Netherlands, so i started helping her with that language. From there on, the Dutch-tutor-ball got rolling. I love one-on-one teaching because of 2 things: 1) how people learn is incredibly interesting for me. Different people learn in different ways, and the brain science behind these ways of learning is fascinating to me. And I do approach it like a scientist: testing something new, seeing how it works, and try to optimize it based on how well people retain it. 2) YOU. Through one-on-one teaching, i get the chance to really get to know the student. All the different kind of stories people can share, is the most rewarding for me, personally. I am currently travelling on my motorbike from Canada to Argentina. Lots of experiences, but that doesn't mean i don't take my classes seriously. That just means i got a lot of experiences to share too!

J'attends toujours nos cours avec impatience. Dès le début, je me suis senti à l'aise grâce à son approche chaleureuse et bienveillante. Il sait parfaitement guider, encourager, corriger et expliquer les notions de façon claire, tout en gardant une ambiance détendue où l'on n'a pas peur de faire des erreurs. Les conversations sont toujours intéressantes et je sens que je progresse à chaque leçon. Je recommande Quinten sans la moindre hésitation à toute personne qui souhaite apprendre le néerlandais. 100 % recommandé !

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 really enjoy my Dutch conversation lessons with Quinten. He is friendly and easy to talk to, with lots of life experience that made lessons interesting. Our discussions went beyond language practice and covered many interesting topics and debates. I particularly appreciated the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from his experiences while improving my Dutch. His lessons are always enjoyable, stimulating, and motivating.

I highly recommend Quinten!! He has been tutoring my son Lucas for a few months now in Dutch. He has successfully developed Lucas's conversational skills into grammatically correct Dutch. Lucas is now prepared to start secondary school in Belgium in the fall. Thank you and great work!

Quinten is very patient, friendly, and genuinely has a wonderful personality that makes lessons enjoyable. His teaching style is very much tailored to your specific goals, I had a letter I needed to write and speak in Dutch, and by the end of our sessions I actually sounded fairly fluent. His materials are excellent and the homework he gave for me was very fun and effective. Highly recommend to anyone serious about excelling in Dutch!
