Jacob Poot
Microsoft Certified Trainer and generalised teacher-of-everything
Workplace Dutch focus. 115 lessons. Useful for meetings, email tone, and confidence at work.
Not for: Not a Verified Pro. Skip if you only want proven high-volume tutors.
Does not clear our Verified Pro bar (3,000+ lessons and 4.9+ rating). Still fine for low-stakes conversation if reviews look recent.
Video intro
About Jacob Poot
Hi! I’m Jacob — a native Dutch speaker, Microsoft-certified IT Manager, and passionate educator. I help you learn Dutch in a relaxed, practical way, with real-life conversation and smart tools like AI to boost your progress. With 10+ years in tech and 4+ years leading IT teams, I also coach students in digital skills, product thinking, and modern work life. I use AI daily and love showing others how to use it to learn smarter — including for languages. Outside of work, I travel, play guitar, and learn Hindi and Chinese. I know the challenges of learning a new language — and how to make it fun, personal, and effective.
Teaching style
I will offer different kinds of classes. I can help you learn vocabulary, give tools to help learn vocabulary, as well and make small stories to make sure you remember this vocabulary. This has always worked will for me, since I'm a visual learning. Learning by repetition is key in this. I can also give more structured Classes focussing on sentence learning, in normal day-to-day dutch, so not just lesson book dutch. You want to speak like a native, not like a book. I can also teach business and movie related classes. how to use speech in dutch corporations, the ethics there and how to talk. I can teach children, having taught Chinese to children before. Whatever it is, we'll do it!
