Dutch courses for expats in Amsterdam and online

My name is Valérie. As a native speaker of French and Dutch and graduated as an interpreter of French/Dutch I give with great pleasure French language courses and Dutch for expats in Amsterdam/ Amstelveen for years to all different kinds of students. Lessons can also be followed online.

The lessons are given in French or Dutch and are mainly focused on speaking the language. They are therefore practically oriented. The lessons are tailor-made because I follow the wishes and goals of the students during the first lesson.

I think it is important that the student experiences pleasure in learning the language, it is and stays a way of communication!

Extra information

Online courses offer great flexibility and accessibility for learners everywhere they are! They can be just as effective as face-to-face ones thanks to professional platforms where learners have access to a variety of educational resources, such as interactive courses, practical exercises, videos, and more.

About Me

Native speaker Dutch and French and with nearly 20 years of experience in providing language training, I offer customized training in both languages.
I’m specialized in offering private Dutch and French courses but also to small groups with max 2 or 3 students . In this way, you will have the full attention of the teacher, which makes it possible to make more progress in a shorter period if you compare it with group courses. This way you can focus on your personal needs and learning objectives. Success guaranteed!
Lessons are highly interactive and are focusing on the teaching methods that fits you best. Communication is paramount and there is a constant focus on speaking situations that apply to the students. Of course, the attention will also be given to grammar and vocabulary.

Prinses Lu
Creative (Dutch) lessons with Rosa or for children with Princess Lu
Hello, my name is Rosa(48). I am born and raised in Amsterdam with roots all over the world. After high school, I studied law. I also studied photography for a year. I have gained many years of experience as a journalist, editor and children's entertainer. I have also been in the classroom of newcomers or as a supervisor at a private school. I have also been a childminder. That was great fun. I love the Dutch language and really enjoy teaching children but also adults. As far as my own children are concerned, I have read myself carefully. Because how exactly does it work with all those Cito keys? We can practice that together or perhaps we can take turns reading aloud. I would like to teach children in a playful way and if that is an idea, I can conjure up Princess Lu myself. If you have a sick child, it is best to contact me via Teams or WhatsApp. Also fun for homeschooling children.

Evan
Dutch for beginners and Intermediates at a conversational level
I want to help people become familiar with the Dutch language. Being born in the Netherlands, I moved to the United States at 8 but learned Dutch at an after school program and from my parents. Now that I am back in the Netherlands, I want to help people who want to learn the Dutch language. Whether you want to learn Dutch for personal reasons or for the "inburgeringsexamen," I want to help by offering relaxed and conversation-based classes at your own pace.

Joska
Enjoy learning Dutch
As a certified NT2 teacher (Dutch for speakers of other languages), I respond to your wishes in learning the Dutch language. We first look together at where you are, what your goals are and how you like to learn. The most important thing for me is that learning the language is fun and that you can use the language with confidence. I have several years of experience in teaching both young people and adults and people with fear of failure/speaker anxiety. As a certified Dutch teacher I will adapt to your wishes when it comes to learning the Dutch language. We will first talk about your language level, what to start with, what your goals are, and in which ways you would like to learn. For me it is most important that you will experience learning Dutch as enjoyable, and that you will be able to use/start using the language with confidence. I have taught Dutch for several years to both children and adults, and people with a fear of failure/fear of speaking.

Nina
High school alpha subjects (languages, history and geography)
I have successfully completed 6 VWO and passed an English Cambridge exam. Currently, I am a law student with a passion for languages, geology and history and I like to share the knowledge - in peace and with full understanding of the student - and together I look for the best method to make this work! I have been working as a tutor for primary and secondary school students for more than 5 years and have experience with people / children who have difficult learning, have little motivation or where the penny has just not yet fallen.

Carolina
Dutch lesson for teenagers & adults adjusted to your needs as a student!
Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter. Brian: Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time. Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language. Afeisha: Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Dynamic Dutch courses with a smiling native speaker ;-)
I use several methods which are specially conceived to teach Dutch to people who have a different mother tongue. I really like to use methods out of the ordinary like role games or methods with which you learn while playing. All these adapted to the student's situation of course. As I learned myself a couple of other languages, it is easy for me to detect difficulties a student can encounter and adapt the way of learning. I can teach in English, French, German and Russian.

Rosemarie
Dutch lessons for children and adults / Basis Nederlands voor anderstaligen (beginners) and children (4-9 years). Huiswerkbegeleiding.
Dutch is my native language. I can teach in English, French and German. I am retired and very flexible with my time. The language is native and has the courage to speak English. I have English and Dutch owners. I also speak French and German. I am reserved and flexible with my time.

Carola
Dutch conversation for kids and adults, to read, to write and understand the language.
In our class we will be relaxed, I will help you with the Dutch conversation, the grammar, reading (like an article or a topic what I will give you). I will help students for beginners-lower-intermediate level. After every lesson I will give you homework for the next lesson. Between the two lessons you can always ask me a question about the subject what we’ve discussed. If you have a subject what you’d like to learn about the Dutch language, let me know. I’m looking forward to see you in my class.
