Video intro
About Rick van Wichen
Hi everyone! My name is Rick, and I’m from Holland. I love languages and would be happy to help you improve your Dutch. As a teacher, I am flexible, honest, and direct. I will clearly explain what you can improve and how to reach the next level. In our lessons, we will first talk about your goals, interests, and learning style. Based on that, I will create a personal study plan for you. My teaching style focuses on comprehensible input, speaking practice, and immersion outside of class. We can discuss Dutch content together so you build confidence naturally. Language learning is a marathon, not a sprint, and mindset is very important.
Teaching style
First, I want to have a chat with the student to find out what interests them and how the learn the best and based on that information I will create a personal study plan. My teaching style would be mostly focused on providing comprehensible content for my students for them to study. This means I require my students to immerse in the language outside of the class. During the classes I will discus the content that the student read (preferably in Dutch) in order to practice speaking. I will explain what the best way of immersion is and how I do it myself. Finally, I will very much focus on the mindset as this is a very important factor.
- Also speaks
- english, german, bulgarian, french, italian, portuguese, spanish
