My name is Timothy. I am here to teach you Dutch. I majored in Arabic language at the University of Amsterdam.

I like to drink coffee and talk with friends, read about a variety of topics and walk in the city. I hope to see you soon!

Me as a Teacher

My lessons & teaching style

I want to help you as much as I can on your learning journey. This includes: planning your goals following your progress finding your strengths We will start by getting to know each other to make the best strategy for you according to your needs and wishes. If you are an advanced learner, then we can talk about technical topics, where you learn all the new vocabulary to reach C1 or C2 level. I will try to refer back to previous lessons to see if you have remembered the words. I like to give historical context of all the grammar I explain as well. By providing historical context I can show more background information, so you can understand why the rules are as they are today.

Tim's lessons are always interesting, engaging and fun. There's a wide range of topics you can discuss with him and he's always well-prepared. Time flies by during each lesson! Since I started learning Dutch with Tim last year, my language skills have improved significantly. I now feel comfortable having everyday conversations on a variety of topics. The lessons have really boosted my confidence. Totally recommend!

I have learned a lot of languages on Italki before, but Tim has to be by far my favorite teacher. I look forward to my lesson every time. Even on days when I am not in the mood, learning with Tim puts me in a good mood; he's a great teacher!! He is also experienced in learning languages so he is good at finding examples and rephrasing things to make sure you understand. He also revisits things from the past to check your progression and help you remember what you have learned! Thanks for everything!
