Interview Preparation - Dutch Tutors & Teachers

My name is Sarah, I am half dutch half Italian and I grew up with three languages because my parents spoke English to each other. I lived the same number of years in Holland as in Italy. Currently I am studying in Groningen, a very nice city in the north of the Netherlands. Over the past two years I have taught Dutch to foreign students living in Groningen and I would love to teach you as well! In Italy I graduated from a "Language Highschool" (Liceo Linguistico) where I learned English Spanish and French language and literature. I have a very big passion for languages. Each language has its own typical expressions and its own sound, and when you learn and understand these you also get to know a different mentality, a different culture, that fascinates me so much. I am a musician and I like and learned to work on the sound of a language, the pronunciation. Dutch has some tricky sounds- like “eu” and “ui”- or “ee” and “ei” - or S-Gravenhage. My lessons will adapt to your level and focus on your needs. I like dynamic, interesting and organized lessons that help you feel more and more comfortable and confident with the dutch language. We will work together on grammar, pronunciation, writing and listening, conversation and getting to know dutch culture as well. I would say try it out to see if it fits you! I am looking forward to help you with your dutch :) Doei, hopelijk tot ziens! Hallo! Mijn naam is Sarah, ik ben half italiaans en half nederlands. Ik wil je graag helpen met jou Nederlands. Zoals je ziet zijn er veel overeenkomsten met het Engels, je zult zien dat het best makkelijk gaat en we zullen zeker plezier hebben! Ciao! Se sei italiano/a posso aiutarti ancora meglio ad imparare l'olandese ;) Igual si vienes de España estoy aqui para ayudarte a aprender Holandes tambien empezando de tu propio idioma :)

Hi My name is Pascale! My native language is Dutch, and my second language is English. I speak many more, because I am fascinated by languages. I believe I can help you in a great and fun way to learn a language. Learning a new language can open so many doors to people and it can be life changing. It is just fascinating! So if you take a chance on me, I will make sure to help you in the best way I can! In 2014 I started teaching English and Dutch online to adults and children. I teach students from entry to advanced levels. I can help you with:  - fluency - pronunciation - grammar - listening skills - conversational skills - vocabulary preparation for:  - job application - NT2 We can read something, do role plays, describe pictures, listen to music or short video's, have a free conversation; it is all possible. It is important to me to make my students feel comfortable and to have fun during the class, as I believe it's the best motivation to improve and to get the most out of it. My goal is to get you talking as soon as possible! Conversation is the most important to focus on and most motivating in my opinion. Every person is unique to me. I am convinced that we can find a method catered to your needs. We can learn material that fits your level, or have a free conversation about a topic of your interest.  I am very flexible and patient, and like to use recognizable illustrations and examples during the class to support an understandable explanation of things. After we've determined your level we will decide together how we will conduct the class. I am open for your suggestions as well, so please feel free! "If you don't use it, you'll lose it", so let's use the language together.  I am looking forward to meet you very soon!  Pascale - I ask all students to have their cameras on. - Classes can be rescheduled or cancelled up to 12 hours prior to starting time. After this time the classes will not be rescheduled/ cancelled, and will be charged accordingly - If I do not receive a message that the student will be late, I will wait 15 minutes for the student (10 minutes for trial classes). After this the class will be considered complete, and charged accordingly. *****
