Video intro
About Michael H.
I’m Michael, born in Amsterdam, and currently living in sunny Spain with my Russian wife and three children. From 2016 to 2022, I had the amazing experience of living in Ufa, Russia, where I immersed myself in the culture and language. I am Dutch, fluent in English, and I also speak Russian. Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to reach a specific level, I can guide you every step of the way to achieve your language goals. I believe in a structured approach to language learning, focusing on building a solid foundation in grammar and vocabulary. I’ll guide you through understanding the rules and applying them effectively in practice. I also offer conversational classes where we can focus on improving your speaking skills in a relaxed and practical way. Together, we’ll create a learning plan that suits your needs, making the process both effective and enjoyable! Over the years, I’ve helped students of all ages and backgrounds improve their Dutch and prepare for exams. I can teach in both Russian and English, making it easier to explain complex concepts in the language you feel most comfortable with. If you’re ready to start your language journey, let’s work together to achieve your goals. I began my teaching career in English schools in Russia, where I specialized in preparing students for their Cambridge speaking exams. Over the years, I’ve also been teaching Dutch online, helping a diverse range of learners. My students include those interested in learning a new language and those preparing for specific exams, such as the Dutch integration exam (inburgeringsexamen). I believe in making language learning clear and practical. It’s not just about knowing how to use grammar but also understanding why it works. Alongside grammar, I have a lot of experience with speaking classes, helping students feel confident and fluent in everyday conversations. Let’s work together to achieve your language goals. Whether you want to master grammar, improve speaking, or prepare for an exam, I’m here to help!
