About the tutor
Hi there! My name is Stephen. With over a decade of experience as Dutch tutor, I offer comprehensive language instruction tailored to the unique needs of my students. As a native speaker of both Dutch and English, with a British family background and upbringing in the Netherlands, I provide authentic and fluent language instruction.
Beyond teaching, I am enthusiastic about exploring different cultures and learning from diverse perspectives. Teaching provides me with the opportunity to connect with people from around the world and share my knowledge and enthusiasm for languages.
With an academic background in educational psychology and linguistics, I employ effective teaching methods informed by research and practice.
Throughout my 10+ year career as a self-employed Dutch tutor, I have helped hundreds of people and taught for several large organizations, such as the Dutch consulate in Istanbul, honing my skills in creating engaging and interactive lessons.
I prioritize speaking practice, recognizing its significance in language acquisition, and I tailor my approach to each student's personality and learning style to ensure a comfortable and effective learning experience. My expertise furthermore extends to preparing individuals for various Dutch state exams, including those essential for Dutch citizenship.
Through engaging activities and interactive exercises, I create a supportive environment where you can practice speaking and improve your communication skills effectively.
Get in touch to arrange a trial class so you can experience my teaching style and approach firsthand!

Dutch for beginners
Over half of my students over the past 11 years started off from scratch.
Conversational Dutch
I generally give extra attention to speaking as this is a weakness with many learners. If this applies to you, I will allocate at least 1/3 of each lesson solely to having a free, organic conversation - at your specific level of course.
Intensive Dutch
I've taught quite a number of people over the years at high intensity (such as 5 lessons per week) for a relatively short period of time (such as 3 months). These would typically be people preparing for any of the various Dutch state exams.
Dutch for Children
Love engaging with children! I've given private lessons to many kids, primarily teenagers.
Business Dutch
I've helped many people with the basics of business Dutch.
CNAVT
Though a much less common request than the NT2 exam, I have had a couple of students come to me for this.
NT2
Over the years I've helped many people pass the Dutch "Staatsexamen Nt2", at both B1 and B2 levels.
