Laid-back, yet experienced tutor (7000+ lessons) for all levels, apparently fun to talk to ;-)
Strong exam angle. 7.3k lessons, ★5.0. Good if you need structure toward NT2.
Hoi hoi! I'm Miguel, your laid-back Dutch tutor with 7,000+ lessons under my belt, chatting with students from over 75 countries. I've helped many students pass their inburgeringsexamen (A2 & B1) and NT2 staatsexamen (Programma I & II)—alongside beginners and advanced speakers just here for 'gezellige' conversation and to integrate in Dutch society. Born in Eindhoven, trained in art (Royal Academy Den Haag) and Literature & Film theory (Leiden Uni), and once a chef, I now work as a scuba instructor on Koh Tao, Thailand. I bring a bit of culture, and a lot of patience, into every lesson. I know a (university) language centre is an option too, often using the same textbooks I do ('Nederlands in Gang', 'Nederlands in Actie', 'De Delftse Methode'). The difference? You won't be one of twelve people waiting for your turn, or having a fixed exam-prep schedule—just you, me, and your pace. I believe speaking is the best training, so we focus on conversation from lesson one, tailored to your goals. Beginners: no fear! I'm laid-back, and living abroad has softened my 'Dutch directness'—you'll feel comfortable trying to speak right away. Advanced learners: I'll challenge you as much as you like—idiom, debate, business Dutch, exam prep—always in a relaxed, fun way. Let's dive right in!
Focus on conversation from the start; tailored lessons based on individual needs and levels.
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.
