Individual (extra) German lessons at every level by an experienced teacher, also coach, counselor, mediator

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
You can contact me for extra German lessons at any level. This may include speaking, reading and writing skills, but also grammar, literary history or exam training.

I myself have a broad German education: MO-A, MO-B and doctoraal.
I have provided German lessons for the Scheidegger Institute, the Educational Center, in-company training and students of VCL The Hague.
In addition to German, I teach Dutch up to and including the level of secondary education and NT-2 to non-Dutch speakers.

I do not assume fixed teaching methods, but tailor the teaching material to you as an individual student as optimally as possible.
In doing so, I make good use of my knowledge from other courses: coaching, counseling, mediation and didactics.

As a retiree I can freely dispose of my time and therefore I am flexible in terms of dates and class times.
In principle, a lesson lasts one clock hour. This can be extended if desired.
I can always be contacted for interim questions.

Finally, I can mention that I am a 'stacker' myself, who from the age of 21 to 55 did all his studies in the evenings in addition to a full-time job.
Again, "Nothing is impossible for those who really want to"!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
In the description of the lessons that I offer, I have already gone into my approach a little deeper, so that I will not repeat this here.

I can say that I am a vital retired man who has lived for decades in the Statenkwartier in The Hague (close to the World Forum Congress building) and has been married to Joke for over 50 years.

The blood creeps where it cannot go. There is a great shortage of German teachers in mainstream education, but this does not appeal to me for various reasons.
What I am really looking forward to again is giving individual lessons, where I am strongly intrinsically motivated to get the best out of the student.

This motivation has everything to do with my own past as a so-called 'stacker', who went to evening classes after his military service and only stopped studying around the age of 55.

My motto is therefore 'Nothing is impossible for those who really want to'!

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Relevant for the classes offered: Doctoral German Language and Literature at the UVA, MO-A School for Language and Literature and MO-B at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. Coaching and counseling at the Hague school for BGL in Hoofddorp and mediation at the Netherlands Mediation Institute. MO-A and MO-B including educational sciences and teaching methodology.

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
In addition to a long experience in business and education as a German teacher, I have followed courses and had my own practice in coaching, counseling and mediation. As the 1st of my group of students I graduated after a shortened doctoral training in German Language & Literature at the University of Amsterdam. I was also allowed to act as a coach.

Bernardo
Conversational partner and or written support in Spanish, English and German.
A language is the key to communication and in the interconnected, globalized world that we find ourselves in, a language can really broaden your horizons and extend your web. In addition, a new language also brings culture with it and a vast array of new traveling opportunities. However, despite all of these advantages, learning a language can be challenging and demotivating, in particular when it is studied without being in touch with native speakers and the corresponding culture that a language brings with it. The language tutoring provided will be personalized to the student's needs and will provide the cultural context that comes with a language, allowing for a more enjoyable and interactive language acquisition process. If you are looking to improve your conversational skills or even written proficiency, This is the class for you.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

Nadine
German, Thai (Native) and English (Fluent) Class .
I’m a 28-year-old German native speaker with a passion for teaching languages, including German, English, and Thai. Currently, I’m in my 4th year of medical school, but I’ve always been enthusiastic about languages and cultural exchange. I have experience working as an English teacher in Japan, where I developed strong teaching skills and an understanding of different learning styles. Additionally, I’ve babysat while incorporating a bit of language exchange, further enriching my teaching experience. Growing up bilingual, with a German father and Thai mother, I have native-level proficiency in German and conversational skills in Thai. I’ve also traveled extensively and spent several months in Australia and New Zealand and currently I am studing in English, which helped me achieve fluency in English and even understand Australian slang. I offer 1-on-1 tutoring sessions tailored to your needs, where we can focus on conversation, grammar, and vocabulary. Whether you're looking to improve your language skills for travel, work, or cultural understanding, I’m here to support your learning journey. Feel free to ask questions or request specific lesson structures—I’m flexible and eager to help you reach your goals.
