Video intro
About Jelke V.
Hi, I am Jelke and I was born and raised in the Netherlands. Dutch is my native language, I speak neutral "ABN" Dutch. Throughout my entire life, I have studied the English language. I have also studied Spanish, French, German, Italian and Thai. So, I know how tough it is to learn a new language and how to overcome all the difficulties in the process. My lessons are focused on various disciplines for you to master: ✅ Conversational skills ✅ Grammar lessons ✅ Vocabulary improvement ✅ Reading & writing ✅ Exam preparations Study material is provided! All levels are welcome! I am a skilled conversationalist, able to speak about a wide range of topics from current events to cultural insights and intellectual facts. ...But I can also just talk about football ⚽️😉 My goal is to boost your Dutch language skills to the highest level, while also building your confidence in using the language effectively. The skills I acquired through the years teaching English, will be applied teaching my native language Dutch. The most important aspect of learning a language is to have fun. Without having fun, hardly any progress will be made. I like to keep my classes fairly casual but I am very willing to adjust my class to fit your needs. However, we will mostly focus on developing your conversational skills to the highest level. Don't worry about anything! I will do all the work for you! You are welcome to schedule a consultation lesson and we can discuss it together. I look forward to seeing you. Kind regards, Jelke
