About Me
italki teacher since Jun 8, 2020Me as a Teacher
My name is Timothy. I majored in Arabic language at the University of Amsterdam. I have lived in few countries and learned a lot about different languages and cultures. I have been teaching Dutch professionally for five years now. I have made many videos on YouTube of which many have reached 100k+ views and a few even 1m+ views.
I enjoy discovering new hobbies and learning new things. I like to drink coffee and talk with friends, read about a variety of topics and walk in the city.

I want my students to feel comfortable during our lessons. I enjoy challenging them, but never with too much pressure, and I always give them time to think about their answers. I love listening to their personal stories, and nothing makes me prouder than seeing their progress.
I hope to see you soon!My teaching material

Had my first trial lesson today. Even though it was just 30 min, we managed to get a good understanding of my language level and what actions to take next. My impression is that Timothy knows what he is doing, he's very friendly and professional. Looking forward to many more lessons with him :)

Tim is one of the best italki teachers that I've tested so far. He really takes care of your learning journey and listens to your needs and struggles. I would recommend him to everyone!
