8 years of experience with NT2, CNAVT and integration exams & easily understanding grammar Hello everyone! I’m Merlijn, a Dutch teacher from Ghent (now in Hamburg) with 8 years of expertise in NT2, CNAVT, and integration exams. My superpower? Making tricky grammar feel easy! Whether you’re prepping for a test or just love languages, I blend clear structure with lively chats—plus a dash of tech, gaming, and music to keep things fun. Let’s turn mistakes into progress together! See you in class! I guide students to think critically and explore ideas thoroughly. I focus on building confidence by explaining concepts patiently and encouraging curiosity, helping each student develop their own understanding. I value questions, curiosity and making students feel comfortable and confident during my class. Interaction, gamification and individual approaches are my forte. My lessons are clear, structured, and adaptable. I break down concepts step by step, challenge assumptions, and foster active engagement so students can solve problems independently while enjoying the learning process. Usually, I start with grammar learning and vocabulary acquisition, which may be tested on the spot. A lot of our time is reserved for language production with instant feedback, to guide you through the process.
