Hi! I’m Jacob — a native Dutch speaker, Microsoft-certified IT Manager, and passionate educator.
I help you learn Dutch in a relaxed, practical way, with real-life conversation and smart tools like AI to boost your progress. With 10+ years in tech and 4+ years leading IT teams, I also coach students in digital skills, product thinking, and modern work life. I use AI daily and love showing others how to use it to learn smarter — including for languages. Outside of work, I travel, play guitar, and learn Hindi and Chinese. I know the challenges of learning a new language — and how to make it fun, personal, and effective.Ik als leerkracht
Because my of my studies in NLP and a bachelor in Social Work I have learned very well to listen to people, let them set attainable goals for themselves and make a plan to reach those. I accept that there;s multiple learning styles and only use those which are effective to people. I'm very patient, kind, but can also be strict when necessary. Because sometimes you just need a little nudge in the right direction. I will use lots of humor in my classes, am accustomed to working with children as well, and am able to motivate you to continue even when things look tough. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I will offer different kinds of classes. I can help you learn vocabulary, give tools to help learn vocabulary, as well and make small stories to make sure you remember this vocabulary. This has always worked will for me, since I'm a visual learning. Learning by repetition is key in this.
I can also give more structured Classes focussing on sentence learning, in normal day-to-day dutch, so not just lesson book dutch. You want to speak like a native, not like a book.
I can also teach business and movie related classes. how to use speech in dutch corporations, the ethics there and how to talk.
I can teach children, having taught Chinese to children before.
Whatever it is, we'll do it!Mijn lesmateriaal

Jacob is truly one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. He shares plenty of useful resources and works efficiently.
He takes tests to evaluate my strengths and weaknesses, which has been so helpful in understanding my exact level.
I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a smart and responsible teacher!

Nog een geweldige les met Jacob !
Hij hielp me niet alleen met mijn grammatica, maar motiveerde me ook om dieper na te denken over mijn gebruik van het Nederlands.
Zijn lessen zijn altijd duidelijk, inspirerend en motiverend. Hij legt alles rustig uit en zorgt ervoor dat je echt begrijpt waarom iets op een bepaalde manier wordt gezegd.
Elke les leer ik iets nieuws en voel ik me zekerder in de taal.
Ik kijk altijd uit naar zijn lessen!

Zijn lessen zijn altijd creatief en uitdagend, vaak boven mijn niveau, wat me echt helpt om te verbeteren. Tijdens de les komt hij ook altijd met interessante oefeningen, waardoor ik actief leer en elke keer iets nieuws oppik. Ik voel dat mijn Nederlands steeds sterker wordt. Hij is geduldig, inspirerend en maakt leren leuk, terwijl het toch zeer effectief is. Ik raad hem aan voor iedereen die echt zijn of haar Nederlands wil verbeteren!

Jacob is a very patient and thoughtful teacher. He always encouraged me to speak and patiently helped me find the right words when I got stuck, which really boosted my confidence to keep going. He prepared useful vocabulary in advance and structured common interview questions so I could practice effectively. That thoughtful preparation helped me feel more ready and less nervous. I also appreciated the practical tips he gave for improving my interview answers. Overall, the class was well-organized and very supportive!
