Danny

I've been studying with Danny on a consistent basis for several months in preparation for medical studies in the Netherlands. Thanks to our lessons, I have become more comfortable and fluent in Dutch. Danny's passion for languages, teaching, and helping students is evident from our lessons. The conversations are always stimulating and adapted to my level, and he shows genuine interest in what is being said. He is a knowledgeable and patient mentor and can explain concepts in a simple way. Most importantly, the feedback provided is tailored and always constructive. In addition, Danny incorporates cultural elements into the material to broaden understanding of the country's culture. The lessons are casual yet educational, and time flies by quickly! I cannot recommend Danny highly enough, and I look forward to our continued work together. Great work, Danny!

I have been working with Danny as my Dutch language tutor and have been thoroughly impressed with his teaching methods and dedication to my progress. When I first began taking lessons, my primary goal was to be able to communicate with my partner's Belgian family and I am happy to say that I have achieved that goal thanks to Danny's guidance. One aspect of his teaching that I particularly appreciate is his focus on identifying and addressing my specific areas of difficulty. He actively writes down my mistakes during lessons and uses this information to tailor our sessions to my needs. This has been instrumental in my progress as a language learner I will continue taking lessons with Danny to further improve my Dutch and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated and caring Dutch teacher.

Danny is one of a kind, he sets the teaching standard very high ! I’m also a teacher myself and hence in terms of other’s teaching quality, I’m very picky. Danny is super friendly, organised and motivating, immediately one would feel very welcome and encouraged to speak. In the class, Danny is always well-prepared with a clear structure of what we’d do; very clear explanations when I had doubts and he’s very generous with compliments when appropriate. Each class comes with homework for next class and follow-up review of last class. Of course, grammar, vocabulary, cultural elements and pronunciation are also covered continuously. In other platforms, I often feel discouraged when teachers corrected students like a police officer, but Danny knows how to help you improve the language with great patience and kindness. I really enjoy learning dutch with Danny and within less than 10 classes I could already see huge progress of my language. Thank you so much!

This was my 8th lesson with Danny and he keeps on improving his lesson structure and context, we are lucky to have him as our teacher in the community, groetjes!

My second lesson with Danny was fantastic—I was already able to have a short conversation in Dutch! His patience and support make learning incredibly enjoyable and effective. Dankjewel! :)

My first lesson with Danny was an absolute delight! I'm usually a bit shy at the start, but Danny's warmth, humor, and energy made all those nerves disappear. I felt super comfortable jumping in and speaking up. I’m really looking forward to more lessons with him! :) Thank you so much!
