Hoi! Ik ben Lodewijk en ik help je graag met de Nederlandse taal.
First of all, it’s wonderful that you’re learning Dutch! It can be a challenging language, but with the right guidance and encouragement, you can make rapid progress — and enjoy the process along the way.
I’m a native speaker of Dutch, English, and French, originally from the Netherlands and currently living in the UAE. I have a genuine passion for languages and for discovering other cultures through them.
I look forward to getting to know you and helping you take your Dutch language skills to the next level!
Me as a Teacher
Two core principles guide my teaching: self-confidence and progress.
I make sure my students feel at ease and comfortable when speaking Dutch.
They should never be afraid to make mistakes — that’s exactly how we identify areas for improvement and learn from them.
My lessons & teaching style
Adapted to each student’s level of fluency, my lessons focus primarily on speaking through guided conversation. We discuss a variety of topics — from weekend plans to personal interests and passions — allowing the conversation to develop naturally while building vocabulary and confidence.
In addition, I may provide written and verbal assignments to complete outside of class. During our sessions, we review and correct these together, ensuring steady progress and clear understanding.
