How I can help
From level 0 to C1, at Teach for Life you will find a course that suits your level.
For whom
Learn the Dutch language with the ‘Nederlands in gang’ course, tailored for educated individuals (partners of Dutch natives, international students, refugees, expats, and more). Haven’t learned a new language in a while, or know you need a bit more time to grasp new concepts? No pressure, we can take a bit more time.
Conversations course - 'Babbelen'
You’ve studied grammar, you can write simple texts and reading is going well.
But speaking? That’s still a challenge.
There aren’t many chances to speak Dutch. And when you do, people often switch to English.
You’re not looking for small talk about the weather, you want real conversations.
About books, podcasts, series, films – topics that matter.
Then ‘Babbelen’ is for you.
This conversation course helps you build confidence in speaking Dutch in a relaxed, small-group setting.
You’ll talk, listen, learn and laugh with space for mistakes. I will support when needed and lots of practice in Dutch.
Companies
For companies, I also offer in-company courses that, if wanted, can be tailor-made to specific tasks within your organization. Or are you interested in my course ‘Dutch for lunch’?
Specific requirements? Contact me and we discuss the possibilities.
Free welcome box
Moving involves a lot. That’s why I have a welcome box ready for you as a new resident of the Netherlands.
The box includes:
√ the textbook
√ additional learning materials
√ whiteboard with marker
√ notebook
√ pen
√ some surprises
This way, you are well-prepared and can get started quickly.
