About me - English
Hello, I am Steven. I am a 39-year-old native Dutch tutor. I would love to help you learn the Dutch language, customs, and culture. In the first 32 years of my life, I was in The Netherlands where I have been teaching, training, and mentoring written and spoken Dutch to all skill levels.
In the past 7 years, I have been living and teaching throughout Europe. Whilst enriching my general cultural knowledge, I have had the pleasure of having students from many different backgrounds from all over the globe.
Qualifications & Experience
I have over 15 years of private (1:1) teaching experience. This varies from teaching language learners from total beginners to C1. But also, C2 and native level for students who are searching to improve their overall communication. I am a certified NT2 teacher for the Dutch language, so I am happy to help you with your official NT2 exam preparations.
