Video intro
About Iskander A.
Hello! I'm Iskander, your Dutch learning partner 🇳🇱 Many expats in the Netherlands have been "planning to learn Dutch" for years. With me, you actually start. After a few weeks, you'll order a broodje gezond without switching to English halfway through. As a native Dutch speaker and language teacher, I make Dutch practical, personal, and (yes) fun. No boring PDFs. No textbook drills. No "open page 47." Here's what you get instead: 🎯 Real conversations from minute one, about your job, your weekend, your koffiepauze 📚 Serious, targeted homework between lessons. I don't hand out busywork. Real progress requires real effort. 🌍 Russian explanations when something just won't click in English My style? Patient, but not soft. I push you, because that's how you actually speak Dutch, not just study it. 👉 Ready to begin? Book a trial lesson and let's make Dutch click for you. I'm currently a Dutch teacher at a professional language school, where I work daily with international students at every level from A0 to B2. My background in multicultural business environments gives me a real sense of what it takes to switch between languages and cultures. I've also done volunteer translation work, and I can explain things in Russian when it helps a student learn faster. My approach is interactive, practical, and focused on real communication. The Dutch you'll actually use at work, with your neighbours, and at the gemeente. Ready to Speak Dutch? Let's Go! 🚀 Here's the deal: you'll speak Dutch in your trial lesson. Not after you've memorized all the rules. Not once you "feel ready." From the very first minute. In your trial lesson: ✅ We assess your level and set clear goals ✅ You start speaking Dutch from minute one (yes, really) ✅ You leave with a personalized roadmap that fits your life This is for you if you've just moved to the Netherlands, if you work with Dutch colleagues and want to join the koffiepauze, or if you're preparing for inburgering or everyday life at the gemeente. One thing though: you need to be ready to put in focused practice between lessons, not just show up once a week and hope.

Iskander is a great teacher! He is very patient and supportive of your language learning goals. Every lesson is productive and effective. Every lesson feels like a fast track to learning grammar, pronunciation and speaking.

It has been a great experience being tutored by Iskander. I can see my language skills improving already. He also takes the time and effort to provide the lessons and homework, cured to your personal preferences and weakness. Will always recommend him if you want a friendly guide to help you through the journey of learning your new language!
