Video intro
About Arjen J.
If you need Dutch for work, relocation or daily life, I can help you use it with more confidence. Since 2017 I’ve helped expats and professionals feel more confident using Dutch at work and in everyday situations. My lessons are calm, structured and practical. We focus on real conversations, clear explanations and lots of speaking practice, so you can actually use your Dutch in meetings, small talk and everyday situations. I work with a limited number of students to ensure personal attention and well-prepared lessons. I also speak English and Farsi, so we can always clarify things in your own language if needed. I teach adults online from complete beginner (A0) up to B2. My students are mainly expats and professionals who need Dutch for work, relocation or integration. In our lessons you can expect: • speaking practice with role-plays and real-life scenarios • pronunciation coaching so people understand you easily • short grammar points with instant practice • vocabulary you can use immediately in your job and daily life Previously I taught Persian to adults, which trained me to keep lessons clear, friendly and results-oriented. Book a trial lesson and we’ll start with a quick level check and a short mini-lesson. Then we’ll create a simple study plan that fits your goals (work, relocation or daily life). Tell me what you need Dutch for, and I’ll guide you step by step so you can speak with more confidence in real situations.

I’ve had a great experience learning Dutch with Arjen. He is very kind, patient, and attentive. He always takes the time to understand mistakes and correct them clearly, especially when it comes to pronunciation, where his feedback has been particularly helpful. He uses high-quality learning materials that are well-structured, with chapters focused on both reading and listening. This approach really helps improve grammar and vocabulary in a balanced way. At the same time, he encourages a lot of speaking practice, making sure you actively use what you learn and build confidence. Overall, Arjen is a very supportive and effective teacher, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone learning Dutch.

I’ve been learning with Arjen for the past month, and I’ve already seen a significant improvement in my Dutch. He is incredibly patient, explains concepts in a variety of clear and engaging ways, and brings different activities to each class. He also creates a comfortable learning environment that allows me to progress at my own pace. I’m extremely happy with the experience!

Arjen is the best Dutch tutor I have had. He is extremely supportive and comes to lessons well prepared. He always keeps an open dialogue with me to figure out which topics are most important to me in my learning and is very flexible to accommodate. I cannot recommend him enough!
