Raquel
Professional tutor providing support in building Dutch language skills at all student levels
Workplace Dutch focus. 2.7k lessons. Useful for meetings, email tone, and confidence at work.
Not for: Not a Verified Pro. Skip if you only want proven high-volume tutors.
Does not clear our Verified Pro bar (3,000+ lessons and 4.9+ rating). Still fine for low-stakes conversation if reviews look recent.

About Raquel
Hi! My name is Raquel. I live in the UK and grew up in the Netherlands. My office background strengthened my spoken and written communication skills. I am currently studying Portuguese, which helps me understand the challenges of learning a new language. I enjoy helping students build confidence and use Dutch in daily life. My lessons are well prepared, structured, and personalised, with full attention and guidance throughout. My passion to teach comes from wanting to help students reach their learning goals whether it is to raise one’s confidence or to use the language on a day-to-day basis. Being a student who practices self-study shows me the adaptability needed to provide learners with the required support. From our lessons you can expect them to be well prepared and tailored to your needs. The classes ensure you are given undivided attention and guidance. For new students, evening lessons are available. Please get in touch and state the days and time suitable for you.

What students say (172 reviews)
I’m finding the grammar reviews with Raquel very useful. Besides the obvious opportunity to identify mistakes and improve my Dutch grammar, they give me opportunities to talk naturally without using prepared notes as a “crutch” to lean on and force me to think on my feet. I’m still making mistakes but with further practice, I will keep improving.
I have recently gotten my first Dutch job. This would not have been possible if it had not been for my lessons with Raquel. She has really been invaluable in helping me progress with the language and increase my confidence. Thank you so much! 😊
Raquel chooses very interesting articles to read and discuss but she also very flexible if I wanted to look at a different topic.
We have had to go back to the basics because I have so much going on in my life and Raquel is so patient.
Raquel is excellent with her choices of articles to read and discuss, as the topics are about things that I have experienced personally and can engage with the subject.
I continued with the article from last week and after this was completed, Raquel presented a new article for me to read and discuss with her. This had a similar theme to the previous one so helped to build up further vocabulary.
