Angelique I.

During my six years working at an international shipyard, I taught our international employees Dutch conversation lessons. I'd be happy to help you improve your Dutch conversation skills or overcome your uncertainty when speaking. With authentic listening exercises, we can also improve your listening skills. Together, we decide which topics we will talk about, whether social, business, or philosophical.With each lesson we expand your vocabulary and after each conversation we discuss what issues you encountered and what could be improved. We can then also discuss mistakes you made and explain grammar issues better.This way, you learn to speak Dutch with more confidence and pleasure at work and in everyday life.

If you have a deadline, you've come to the right place too. Together, we will determine your goal and map out the route to success. Personal attention, plenty of authentic practice material, and extra support are available.

For the past 10 years, I have worked as a professional sworn translator, giving me an in-depth knowledge of cultural differences. I have translated corporate documentation for multinationals and documents for the European Union, and helped train in-house communication specialists.I have also held management support roles for many years. Both at various companies in the Rotterdam port area, and at IT companies in Amsterdam. As facilities coordinator, I often gave presentations to the international management team and clients.I tailor my lessons to your goals; we focus on subject terminology relevant to you and we do listening assignments using authentic videos selected especially for your goals.This not only develops your general language skills, but also practical language skills that you can immediately apply in your work.

My expertise extends to preparing you for the various Dutch state exams, including those essential for Dutch citizenship. We have methods, exercises, authentic materials for all levels, extra information, and 'proefexamens', all available for your personal learning journey.

With my extensive toolkit filled with methods, exercises, authentic materials for all levels, information, and 'proefexamens', I’m more than equipped to coach you to your desired level.
