About Me
italki teacher since Jun 8, 2020
So you want to learn Dutch? Great! You’re at the right place. We will start our lesson by setting your goals and create a course plan that suits you. In our lessons, you’ll practice real-life conversations like making Dutch small talk, handle work situations or expressing your thoughts about complex topics. If you need to pass an exam, then we’ll cover every section so you’ll be fully prepared. You, or your child, will be speaking Dutch confidently before you even know it! If this sounds like what you need, book a lesson today and let’s get to know each other!

 -- personal information -- 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 six years now. I have made many videos on YouTube about language learning of which many have reached 100k+ views and a few even 1m+ views. In my free time I enjoy discovering new hobbies and learning new things. I like to drink coffee and tea, bake pizza, talk with friends, read about a wide variety of topics and walk in the city or nature. --about my teaching style-- I guide my students through their learning journey and enjoy teaching them Dutch language and culture. I want my students to feel comfortable but challenged at the same time. I love listening to their stories, and nothing makes me prouder than seeing their progress and becoming more fluent in Dutch! I hope to see you soon!

I've had about 10 lessons with Tim and enjoyed each and everyone of them. He's patient, provides good feedback and tailors his program to the need of his student. I cannot recommend his services enough and I am very happy with the progress I've made so far thanks to 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!

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 :)
