About Johannes Simons
Experienced Dutch and English teacher, 30 years of experience. 13k+ classes on iTalki in 6 years. Hello! My name is Hans Simons, a Dutch native with a passion for languages, cultures, and connecting with people. Born and raised in the Netherlands, I trained as a nurse, which gave me a strong professional background and the chance to live in the US, UK, Colombia, Italy, and Spain. These experiences helped me learn several languages and understand the joys and challenges of adapting to new environments. Mijn naam is Hans, geboren en getogen in Nederland. Als verpleegkundige heb ik veel gereisd en spreek ik meerdere talen. Ik weet hoe belangrijk het is om je thuis te voelen in een nieuwe taal en cultuur, en dit inzicht neem ik mee in mijn lessen. If you want a teacher with real-world experience, a global outlook, and a supportive approach, I’m here to help you achieve your Dutch or English goals. Whether you’re preparing for life in the Netherlands, university, or need medical Dutch, I make language learning practical, enjoyable, and tailored to you. For Dutch lessons, I use the Zichtbaar Nederlands method, focusing on sentence structure, vocabulary, and guiding you through the integration process if needed.

Ik heb in 3 jaar tijd 50 lessen bij Hans Simons gevolgd: eerst om mijn Nederlands te verbeteren, daarna om medisch Nederlands te oefenen en nu af en toe om de finesses te verbeteren. Ik vind het ook heel nuttig om met hem te praten, niet alleen als docent maar ook als persoon. Zeker een aanrader!
Really enjoyed my first lesson with Hans! Can already start applying what I learned in my day-to-day :D
I always learn something new in his classes.
Hans makes learning Dutch so easy.
I appreciate Hans' teaching approach which is focused on understanding the structure of the language first, then building on that with vocabulary and practice. He is very clear and concise in the way he explains things and offers a vast array of resources and materials to help you progress at a pace that best suits you. I look forward to my continued journey with Hans and am excited to learn more!
great session to tackle the reading part of the exam. looking forward to future sessions.
