About the tutor
Hi there, my name is Laurien. I am a native Dutch speaker. I teach adults (18-88+) from beginner to intermediate.
I have been a teacher for 20+ years. Not in language, but in horseback riding. Teaching is still my passion and I am now a Dutch teacher! I currently live in Spain, in the mountains, and enjoy nature and all sorts of animals.
I am a very patient teacher and I understand if you feel hesitant to speak Dutch. Don't worry, I will help you feel more confident! I can take you by the hand and guide you at a pace you feel comfortable with.
It's not easy learning a new language as an adult. We lack the instinct that kids still have. But together we can do it, we can teach you to speak Dutch!
I can adjust to your pace and take it slow or speed up if we feel that's what we should/can do. I will make you feel comfortable in our lessons and you can learn in a relaxed way. I won't judge you for your faults or on how fast you progress. Just take it step by step.
My lessons are for beginners and more experienced students. I focus on teaching adults, I don't teach children under 18.
With beginners, I like to work with The Delft Method, that's a learning method in which you do preparing homework before the lessons, and in the lessons we focus on speech and conversation about the new words and sentences you learned. It's a really natural way of learning Dutch. In addition, I give grammar topics and exercises to strengthen your grammatical knowledge.
For more experienced students, I make lessons according to your needs and wishes and we can certainly do conversational lessons, where we can debate, talk about topics that interest you, talk about texts I send you before class, etc. We can also work on improving your pronunciation if you want.
I'm LGBTQ+ friendly and open for all nationalities. I don't judge people on anything, you are safe with me.
Book a trial lesson with me so you can see if I'm a fit for you! And please tell me your goals and difficulties and maybe even your fears, so I can help you!
