We have a conversation so that I can get an idea of the general level of Dutch the student has already reached. On top of that I pay extra attention to specific things the student could make improvements on. I could cater for lessons adapted to those needs if the student would like me to do so.

Prior to the trial lesson we can discuss possible subjects the conversation will be about.

Example of what a BEGINNERS LESSON could comprise:

-1 We go over the alphabet, comprising the main pronunciation of syllables, consonants and diphthongs. I will intervene to put attention on the specific challenges that I hear the students can use more work on.

-2 We have a look at the words/phrases the student already knows and immediately apply to them the newly gained knowledge about pronunciation in step 1. This to get the student gain better grip on them.

-3 I list the personal pronouns and explain the use of them. / We go over a list of main verbs

Students on an INTERMEDIATE or more ADVANCED level can get their specific grammar questions answered in this type of individual lesson.

Individual: Basics: Beginner - Elementary

Duolessen zijn gericht op het bouwen van gespreksvaardigheden, maar uitleg over grammatica, zinsstructuur enzovoort kunnen deel uitmaken van de les als dat nodig is. 

Voorbeeld: 
Ik voorzie materiaal dat de studenten moeten gebruiken in een fictieve situatie, een oefening of een spel. Ikzelf treed op als moderator die tussenkomt en uitleg verschaft wanneer dat nodig is. 

Wie meer informatie wil over hoe ik duolessen maak op basis van de noden en wensen van studenten, kan me steeds een bericht sturen :)

What a GROUP CLASS could comprise:

- frequently asked questions, often made mistakes  
- grammar, sentence structure
- expressions, vocabulary
- dictation
- reading exercices

I adapt the lessons to the needs and level of all students and build on common ground.
