Are you ready for an adventure? Level Up Your Dutch Skills with the RPG Teacher Method

Hey there! I'm [Your Name], and I'm on a mission to transform the way you learn languages. If you've ever found traditional language classes a bit dull and disconnected from real-life conversations, then you're in for a treat.

Picture this: I've always been captivated by games, especially board games and RPGs (role-playing games). I've also got a thing for languages, and I've spent years studying and teaching them. So, I had this wild idea—why not combine the magic of gaming with the art of language learning?

And that's how the RPG Teacher Method was born. With this approach, learning a new language becomes an epic adventure. You won't just study grammar rules and vocabulary lists; you'll step into the shoes of characters in a thrilling story. You'll use the language to solve challenges, make friends, and achieve your goals.

The best part? You'll gain not just language skills but also the confidence to use them in real-life situations. No more feeling tongue-tied when you want to have a conversation in your new language. With the RPG Teacher Method, you'll be ready for anything. Let's unlock the full potential of language learning together and make your language journey one you'll never forget!

Extra information

In my lessons I combine Dungeons & Dragons with language learning. Before the lesson I will send you information about this method, so you can assess if this method is right for you.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
ello there! I'm Hester, and I'm on an exciting adventure that brings together my two passions. I love games, especially board games and RPGs, like D&D, where I cook up stories. But there's more to the story. I'm also super into languages. I've studied how we talk and teach in university, and after working some jobs in communication, I jumped into education. That led me to a serious game company, and here's where I had a big idea: why not teach Dutch through RPG games? That's when I became the RPG Dutch teacher. Want to join this journey? It's where fun games and learning mix!

She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter. Brian: Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time. Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language. Afeisha: Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

With every lesson she provides lesson material.

Lessons Dutch for Russian speakers by a native speaker!
These courses are specially designed for people with little or no knowledge of Dutch. The lessons are very practical, so you can memorize vocabulary quickly and easily. The approach is always very individual. For children, it's about learning through play; for adults, it's about conversation exercises. You always have access to online documents for practice. I also offer group lessons ate a lower price, contact me for more information.

Dutch conversation for kids and adults, to read, to write and understand the language.
In our class we will be relaxed, I will help you with the Dutch conversation, the grammar, reading (like an article or a topic what I will give you). I will help students for beginners-lower-intermediate level. After every lesson I will give you homework for the next lesson. Between the two lessons you can always ask me a question about the subject what we’ve discussed. If you have a subject what you’d like to learn about the Dutch language, let me know. I’m looking forward to see you in my class.

Marcel
Dynamic Dutch courses with a smiling native speaker ;-)
I use several methods which are specially conceived to teach Dutch to people who have a different mother tongue. I really like to use methods out of the ordinary like role games or methods with which you learn while playing. All these adapted to the student's situation of course. As I learned myself a couple of other languages, it is easy for me to detect difficulties a student can encounter and adapt the way of learning. I can teach in English, French, German and Russian.

Rosemarie

Carolina
Teaching children until the age of 11 years old playfully Dutch
Teaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

Irma
Dutch lessons at any level.
The most important thing for me is that we have fun while learning – that makes everything a lot more fun! In the lessons I am happy to help you with your questions about Dutch grammar and we can work together on your speaking, writing and/or listening skills. Do you have homework that you need help with? That is of course also possible! Let me know what level you are at now and what you would like to learn. I would love to challenge you, but make sure it is always fun and that you don't have too much at once. The prices stated are for a lesson for 1 person.

Caroline

Astrid
Dutch lessons for young professionals as well as academic/university support
Dutch is my mother tongue, I am Dutch and I suggest you improve your level of Dutch by focusing on conversation - pronunciation - learning to express yourself well - convincing shyness to speak. Of course also academic support - explanation of grammar - reading and understanding texts - writing and editing. Preparing for job interviews, raising the level of Dutch for professional use to a higher level, working with university students to prepare for their Dutch exams etc etc. I adapt my lessons to the needs of each student. With advanced students we discuss the news based on newspaper articles. I speak fluent French, English, and Italian. I am a lawyer by training with 30 years of experience in international business. The ultimate goal of my lessons: to love Dutch and prepare for your future!
