You want to speak Dutch?
Maybe you're just starting. Maybe you've tried before. Either way, let's get you talking.
I teach Dutch through real conversations and personalized content.
Here's what makes this different:
Your life becomes your Dutch material. We talk about your actual world, your job, your plans, whatever you're dealing with, and I turn those conversations into stories, vocab games, audio, and practice materials that are about YOU.
Not textbook scenarios. Your Dutch.
I wanted to do this for all my students but creating everything manually for 30-50 people? Not realistic. So I built systems that automate the personalization.Me as a Teacher
Now everyone gets custom content and Dutch stays active between lessons.
Students say the lessons feel like talking to a friend. That's the vibe. Relaxed, fun, but you're progressing. I'm tracking what's working and adjusting as we go.
I'm learning Thai and Mandarin myself right now. Butchering tones. Forgetting words. So I know what helps versus what wastes time.
What you get between lessons:
Personalized stories based on your words and situations. Lesson transcripts with flashcards. Pronunciation feedback. Vocab games. Audio for busy days. NT2 or Inburgering drills if you need them. Sometimes a personalized song because why not. My lessons & teaching style
The tools keep Dutch active when life gets chaotic. Teaching since 2018. Communication degree, Life Coach cert. Trained other tutors, which showed me that what students need is usually different from what teachers think they need.
What happens:
Beginners have conversations in Dutch within weeks. People who felt nervous speaking get confident. Students handle work meetings, make Dutch friends, pass their exams.
Students bring their partners after seeing it work.
Trial lesson:
We talk, I figure out your level and what you need, you leave with a plan and your first materials.

Ik heb genoten van mijn proefles met Rick. Hij was geduldig, goed in het stellen van vragen en het geven van nuttige adviezen tijdens onze les!

Excellent lesson. Rick is a motivated, bright and engaged teacher. He has a gift for making you feel comfortable and giving you self-confidence in your target language. He is also effective in spotting the areas and aspects of your learning process where you need to work further. Our conversations are always very interesting and after about a month of working with him I feel more comfortable in dutch and my word flow has definitely improved.

Nou meiden, ik ben er vrijwel zeker van dat ik jullie er niet allemaal aan hoef te herinneren dat Rick niet alleen toch helemaal hét is, noch hoef ik jullie natuurlijk niet te vertellen dat hij echt ontzettend fabuleus, verbluffend en prachtig is als leraar Nederlands, maar daarnaast is hij inderdaad ook wel hét moment — Nou kom op nu! 💖
