Learn Dutch faster - explained clearly in 8 languages Hi everyone! My name is Rick, and I’m from Holland. I love languages and would be happy to help you improve your Dutch. As a teacher, I am flexible, honest, and direct. I will clearly explain what you can improve and how to reach the next level. In our lessons, we will first talk about your goals, interests, and learning style. Based on that, I will create a personal study plan for you. My teaching style focuses on comprehensible input, speaking practice, and immersion outside of class. We can discuss Dutch content together so you build confidence naturally. Language learning is a marathon, not a sprint, and mindset is very important. I am a very flexible teacher and I will tell you straight what I think and how to advance to the next level. I am very direct (I guess part of being Dutch :-) ). Furthermore, I expect the students to be motivated and to do as we discussed. Language acquisition is a marathon not a sprint. ;-) First, I want to have a chat with the student to find out what interests them and how the learn the best and based on that information I will create a personal study plan. My teaching style would be mostly focused on providing comprehensible content for my students for them to study. This means I require my students to immerse in the language outside of the class. During the classes I will discus the content that the student read (preferably in Dutch) in order to practice speaking. I will explain what the best way of immersion is and how I do it myself. Fin...

Rick is a super nice contact. He explains things in a few minutes that have been with me for years. He established a common thread, brought structure, and set goals. Highly recommended, don't think twice, just book 👌 😃

I had my first Dutch lesson for complete beginners with Rick, and it was excellent. He is a fantastic tutor—clear, easygoing, and great at explaining pronunciation. I really appreciated how he naturally integrated essential grammar guidelines and new vocabulary into our practice.

I enjoyed my first lesson with Rick. He is super friendly and passionate about teaching. He assessed my level and moved on to some important grammar points. His explanations were clear and organised. I am looking forward to the next lesson!

great vibes, open conversation while working on correct pronunciation and showing grammar rules and vocabulary. Rick uses his own notes app that tracks everything you discuss and includes voice notes to help practice pronunciation whenever you want.

My first lesson with Rick was great. He made me feel comfortable speaking, even though my Dutch is quite rusty. I look forward to my next lesson!

Уроците по холандски с Рик са истинско удоволствие. Обяснява по изключително ясен и разбираем начин както на български, така и на английски, което много помага за усвояването на езика. Часовете винаги са приятни, спокойни и често много забавни, така че ученето става естествено и мотивиращо. Рик обръща внимание на детайлите и ако усети, че има нещо, което не съм разбрала напълно, веднага намира начин да го обясни по-добре и да го упражним. Същевременно много уважава времето ми – по време на урока се фокусираме върху най-важното и върху нещата, които наистина изискват неговото обяснение и насоки. Много съм благодарна за търпението, отношението и начина, по който преподава. Уроците с него са не само полезни, но и наистина приятни, и го препоръчвам от сърце на всеки, който иска да учи холандски.
