trained NT2 teacher with more than 2000 classes given Hello! I’m a native Belgian (Flemish) speaker with a passion for languages and cultures. After university, I worked as a teacher, translator, and guide in over 40 countries. Now settled in Mexico, I specialize in teaching Dutch/Flemish. My global experience means I understand the challenges of learning a new language—and how to make it fun and practical for you! Let’s turn your Dutch goals into reality, whether for work, study, inburgerings- of ITNA exam, or your next adventure in Belgium! Until the start of the COVID 19 crisis, I was teaching both online and in a language institute in Mexico where we take our students from beginner level to proficiency. But since the start of the crisis, I have been teaching online fulltime. I´ve always loved meeting people and talking to people so when I stopped travelling and settled down here in Mexico, working as teacher was a logical step. I really enjoy seeing my students develop and improve. I´ve taught people between the ages of 14 and 70.

I adjust my classes so that they are suitable for that specific student. If you are preparing for the NT2 exam or het inburgeringsexamen, then my class will be different than for someone who wants to learn Dutch for business purposes or for someone who want to learn Dutch in order to adapt more easily and have mo...

I have had the pleasure of learning Flemish with Erik, and I can confidently say he’s an exceptional teacher! From our very first class, he created a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that made it easy to dive into learning. Each day, Erik introduces new challenges that keep the lessons engaging and rewarding. What I particularly love about his teaching style is the dynamic mix of activities—there’s a perfect balance of grammar, speaking, reading, and even role-playing, which makes the lessons both fun and practical. If you’re looking for a dedicated, enthusiastic, and skilled Flemish teacher, I highly recommend Erik for an amazing learning experience! Hartelijk dank Erik! :)

I have been learning with Erik for half a year now, and the lessons with him have always been pleasant and helpful – without exception. Erik is open-minded, funny, attentive, and patient, which makes language learning very enjoyable. Erik is also very competent and skillful at explaining things, so I could progress much faster than I had expected.

Erik's patience and encouragement is amazing! The man is a saint. (I'm too old to be learning a new language but it's fun to try with this tutor.)

With Erik you don't just learn a language, he also teaches you to love a language and the culture. He is the best teacher I ever had. He is always well trained, professional, respectful and very patient. Thanks for all the help.

Erik helped me with some extra preparation for the ITNA exam and I couldn't be more satisfied! He's a great conversation partner, always funny and attentive. At a higher language level, it's all about the details and nuances and he managed to catch them all and explain things in a simple manner that I believe will stick forever. He provided plenty interesting and useful materials and resources.

Missing structure of the lesson. It was just talking about random topics with no link to any specific learning subject. Conversation required vocabulary from higher language level than currently I am in.
