About Renate A.
Renate A is a native Dutch speaker and global citizen who has travelled to over 40 countries, gaining insight into many cultures. She will help you to not only understand the Dutch language, but also to gain insight into the Dutch culture: what makes Dutch people tick and why they do love directness so much. This way, you will achieve great and effective conversations. By offering a variety of materials like slides, podcasts (at all levels), videos and news clippings, the student will be drawn into the use of Dutch expressions that are used on a daily basis. Ik ga even een frisse neus halen or je weet maar nooit hoe een koe een haas vangt, are just 2 of the thousands of sayings that the Dutch language is known for and not to forget words like knettergek, smoorverliefd or stomverbaasd, which all emphasize how good or bad something can be. Of course, she will do this with a great dose of humour, because: studying must be fun, not a punishment. Boasting over five years of experience teaching Dutch online, she is fluent in Afrikaans, English, German and French. Catering specifically for clients above the age of 17, the student determines the pace he/she/they would like to learn at, and how many lessons one would like to do. Furthermore, she assists foreign students who wish to enroll at a Dutch university. Due to legal changes, the required Dutch proficiency level has been raised to B1/B2 level, depending on the study. Renate specialises in the following subjects: • Business Dutch • Bic-registration training for (para)medics • Conversational Dutch, (most general topics, including Dutch history, Dutch nature, geography, tourist information) • Dutch for beginners • coaching lessons - also for Dutch citizens • NT2 (Dutch as a second language) • Preparation for foreign students enrolling in Dutch universities • Exam training • Job preparation and interview training in Dutch • Business presentations in Dutch With more than 35 years of working experience in an international business environment and hospitality industry, she is a language purist, whose vision it is to ensure that her clients have a good grasp of the Dutch language both verbally as well as in writing. Whether you need Business Dutch (from daily conversations with customers to professional business presentations and debating effectively in the boardroom), would like to achieve C1/C2 level for (para)medic registration, plan to take the NT2 exam, or simply would like to speak Dutch like a native, Renate certainly can help. The student will be in charge of his/her/their own lessons: you decide the pace, the number of lessons per week and topics you would like Renate to focus on, for learning Dutch should be fun, not a punishment. Interested? Book a trial lesson now and and get hooked on this difficult but very interesting and fun language. Renate looks forward to welcoming everyone at a trial lesson soon.

Renate has a well-structured class, she shapes the content to your needs. Impressive outcomes with only a few classes.
The lesson was completely personalized to my goals and interests. There was clearly so much thoughtful preparation and creativity that went into the planning. An absolutely wonderful learning experience.
Renate is AMAZING!!!! We have so much fun in our lesson. We laugh a lot (mostly at my pronunciations). We discuss real world examples of conversations and she is amazing at explaining the pronunciation of those tricky sounds. I highly recommend Renate.
Renate is incredibly helpful and a very good listener. The lessons are clear and she always prepares them based on your wishes.
Very clear and useful! (Also great vibe)
Very friendly but also goal oriented lessons.
