Video intro
About Johannes Dietvorst
Hello awesome people, My name is Johan Dietvorst. I'm 33 years "young", and I live in The Netherlands. My native language is Dutch. But I have a C2 English score and I'm also able to speak Spanish (I lived in Mexico for 4+ years, so that's why). I speak some Japanese as well (JLPT N-4)! I love Nature, Languages & Culture, Watches, Guitar and Sports (especially skateboarding). Also an avid fish keeper! I love learning different languages, because it makes it way easier to manage/survive in different countries. It also broadens your view. Ow, I love to draw and tattoo as well! I am also a published writer. 📝 (On)zinnige zinnen (1). ----------------------

With a structured plan and customized grammar focus, I was able to pass my NT2 Programma II much earlier than expected. Just 10 months of self-studying and tutoring with Johannes! I'd totally recommend him for learning Dutch with care and precision, yet in the most fun way possible.

Johan's knowledge about the Dutch language is truly impressive. His passion, positive energy and enthusiasm to share it make his lesson always entertaining and full of learning. Also he is very patient and manages to make me talk despite my low speaking level, which I appreciate a lot. And he has a ton of material that he can adapt to suit the way you want to practice. So I can only recommend him, whether you are a beginner or want to improve your current level, you'll be in good hands.

Het is altijd leuk om met Johannes te praten. Ik heb al heel veel geleerd. Vooral de expressies die je nergens kunt leren, vind ik zo tof.
- Karolina★ 5 · Sep 24, 2025
Johannes creates a very relaxed atmosphere, where even new learners feel completely at ease to speak Dutch and improve every lesson. Each lesson is well prepared, explained on a level that is easy to understand and with good material.

I specifically wanted to spend some time working on my written Dutch. I have been keeping a list of things I wanted to write in Dutch, but was not confident enough to do so with my draft version. We have been spending time going through these drafts, correcting mistakes, explaining, and finding ways to elevate/expand my writing. I have been finding this very useful and am getting a lot of value out of it.

Very helpful resources, conversation, and guidance.
