About Lodewijk Dekker

Hoi! Ik ben Lodewijk en ik help je graag met de Nederlandse taal. First of all, it’s wonderful that you’re learning Dutch! It can be a challenging language, but with the right guidance and encouragement, you can make rapid progress — and enjoy the process along the way. I’m a native speaker of Dutch, English, and French, originally from the Netherlands and currently living in the UAE. I have a genuine passion for languages and for discovering other cultures through them. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you take your Dutch language skills to the next level!

Teaching style

Adapted to each student’s level of fluency, my lessons focus primarily on speaking through guided conversation. We discuss a variety of topics — from weekend plans to personal interests and passions — allowing the conversation to develop naturally while building vocabulary and confidence. In addition, I may provide written and verbal assignments to complete outside of class. During our sessions, we review and correct these together, ensuring steady progress and clear understanding.
