About Job den Besten
Hoi! I’m Job, a native Dutch speaker with 5+ years of teaching experience. I specialize in helping students pass their NT2/Inburgeringsexamen (A1-B2)—many of my students succeed on their first try! As a TEFL-certified teacher, I explain Dutch clearly in English, making grammar and pronunciation easier to grasp. Whether you’re preparing for exams or just want to chat confidently, my lessons are structured, patient, and tailored to your goals. Let’s make Dutch feel like home—book a trial and see how simple it can be!
Teaching style
My materials comprise of speaking, writing, grammar, reading and listening. Here's a normal lesson plan with me; A1-B2; - Vocabulary (A2-B2 (5-15min): discussing new learned verbs/words or talking about recent days. - Pronunciation (A1-A2) (10-15 min): reading a short story and building on vocabulary and articulation. - Writing (A2-B2) (15 min): Q and A sessions where I write your answers down and further discuss sentence structures and mistakes. - Speaking (A2-B2) (20-40 min): eloquently answering questions which are commonly asked in the exams or free talking to practice general conversations. - Listening (A2-B2) (10-15 min): listening to an audio and answer questions. Tot snel/See you!

In just a couple weeks, I can already read and speak quite a lot more than I ever expected at this point. Job’s teaching style really helps me build fluency without even realizing it! We focus not only on grammar and vocabulary but more of the speaking in natural conversation which has helped me tremendously. Job is also very fun and adapts to my needs while noticing where I struggle to truly target my weak areas. I will keep working with Job to build my confidence and ability in Dutch.

Job is a wonderful teacher! My goal is to prepare for the civic integration exam within a couple of months, and with Job’s help I was able to pass test examination only after one month of preparation. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Job is an incredible teacher. He moves quickly, maximizing the use of time, but it doesn’t feel rushed or overwhelming either. Time flies, and I feel like I learned a lot! Dankjewel!

Job helped me a lot during my Inburgering exam preparation. He really helped me with specific parts of the exam and gave me a strategy on how to pass them one by one. We only discussed grammar when I made mistakes during conversations or while solving tests, which was the most optimal way for me. So I think Job used our time 100% effectively to help me achieve my main goal - the exams. I am very grateful to Job and will definitely come back to him if I need to learn more Dutch and will also recommend him to my friends. Thank you very much, Job!

I enjoy my lesson with Job. I can see how much I improved with his classes. In the beginning I couldn't read and now I can do it. I'm focused on the inburgering examen and I can see how prepared he is. Every class he has a topic with all the explanation. He is super organized and he gives you feedback on your homework.

Thank you Job for all your guidance with my Dutch language learning journey. He also provided local info for my travels to the Netherlands. Job is a very practical teacher, and he makes learning fun and applicable to real life situations. I am so excited to use my Dutch skills when I visit the Netherlands soon!
