Personal Description:
I am bi-lingual (Dutch - English) having been brought up in Belgium (Flanders) and lived 11 years in The Netherlands. I have a Bachelors degree and PhD in Dutch Studies.
Teaching Experience:
I have taught Dutch from beginners to intermediate at the Brasshouse Languages in Birmingham for the past 3 years. I have also tutored people studying the A-level Dutch (which unfortunately no longer exists) and have taught some conversation classes at university.
Teaching Approach:
The focus is primarily on speaking and listening for beginners. In order to gain confidence in speaking and listening there needs to be a basic understanding of how the language works (grammar). I like to introduce the vocabulary through common and useful topics, such as introducing yourself and shopping for beginners or academia for advanced students of Dutch. I provide plenty of activities (fill in exercises, translate, spot the mistakes) and use powerpoints as well as show clips with questions and activities that encourage speaking. I use various textbooks to support the teaching.
