I'm a native Dutch speaker who moved to Bangkok Thailand. I’m currently working part-time at internationals schools as a dance instructor. I would describe myself as informal, friendly and patient. Besides that, I love learning about new topics, getting to know new people, teaching, dance and drawing.
Me as a Teacher
My main focus is to teach through conversation, but I also explain underlying grammar. It’s my goal to match someone’s language level in my conversational speed, vocabulary and level of corrections/ feedback. I believe it’s important to take student’s preferences into account instead of using a one fits all approach, so feel free to let me know what you’re looking for, and I’ll try to base our lessons on it.
My lessons & teaching style
In these lessons it’s possible to use materials such as pictures, video’s, conversational topics or just have a meet up and talk about our week, interests or live in general. These lessons are for beginners that are starting from 0 to students that are trying to master the language (A0 to C2).
Andreas is very easy to talk to. He always has something to say about any conversation that we have and I always feel at ease even when I make a mistake, as he gives good suggestions for alternate vocabulary or idioms.

Andreas is the best without a doubt. Our conversations are always diverse and most importantly he never interrupts me when I am speaking Dutch until I finish my thought and then we will discuss corrections or proper translations. Great teacher and person!

It's just my second lesson with Andreas and it already feels like I'm talking with a good friend. We shared stories about culture, history, and politics in a short amount of time and even had a good laugh. I'm still a beginner in Dutch, but he helped me stay relaxed as I sometimes struggled to find the words. I'm looking forward to booking more lessons with him.
