Laid-back, yet experienced tutor (6000+ lessons) for all levels, apparently fun to talk to ;-) Hoi hoi! I’m Miguel, your laid-back Dutch tutor with 6,000+ lessons under my belt—helping everyone from beginners to advanced speakers nail 'gezellige' conversations or ace exams like NT2 or the 'inburgeringsexamen'. So far, I’ve chatted with students from over 75 countries. Born in Eindhoven, and trained in art (Royal Academy Den Haag) and Literature & Film theory (Leiden Uni), I can weave some culture into lessons. I also used to be a chef, but now I work as a scuba dive instructor in Koh Tao, Thailand. So whether you’re a complete beginner, or prepping for your 'inburgering' or just want to talk about 'Koetjes & Kalfjes', I’ll make it fun and tailored. Let’s dive right in! I have learned that there are many ways to teach a language. But I believe that speaking is the best training, so I will focus on conversation, from the start. For the beginners: have no fear! I am pretty laid-back and I can adjust my lessons to your level. You will feel comfortable trying to speak Dutch. Also, I have been living abroad long enough now, to have lost my 'Dutch directness' a bit and I get along quite well with people from different cultures. For the advanced learners: I can make things difficult as well and challenge you as much as you like. Of course in a fun and interesting way. Based on your interests and learning goals, I will customize your classes to your specific needs.
Today I have completed my 38th lesson with Miguel and couldn't be happier with my choice of teacher! Two more lessons and I'll complete 2 full packages with him :) Miguel, thanks a lot for this journey we had in last 3 months! Thanks for tons of patience you had with me, you know I'm like a Dory from "Finding Nemo" :D In 3 months from absolute zero level to somewhat A2 and I'm planning to continue! Lessons with Miguel are always fun, engaging and educating, not only on Dutch language itself, but also on Dutch culture! 200% recommend Miguel for your Dutch learning goals!
Thanks to Miguel, I passed all my integration exams, and I'm getting more confident with speaking Dutch to other people, top teacher!
I'm preparing for my B1 integration exams and Miguel has been invaluable! He was able to accurately assess the level I was at and determine what I would need to work on in order to bring my Dutch to the next level. Miguel is friendly, patient and encouraging. He also has a very clear way of explaining things that makes things easy for an English speaker to understand. He's patient and also fun to chat with! After several lessons with Miguel I can say I am not only more confident in writing and speaking Dutch, but also more at ease having conversations in Dutch. Thank you, Miguel!
Miguel is an incredible teacher! I will recommend him to everyone. He is a super fun teacher that is able to make something boring into something exciting. He is also a very kind person to have around! Really a pleasure to learn dutch with him :)
I feel Miguel is very invested in my learning. He shapes the lesson according to my need and creates an environment where I can practice Dutch while speaking about topics that I find interesting and engaging.
Miguel is an amazing teacher. Always adapts to what I want to focus providing valuable insights into the Dutch language and goes the extra mile to provide a deep explanation.
