About Rick - Cornelis V.
Hi, my name is Cornelis and I'm from the Netherlands. I'm a native Dutch speaker with a passion for language, communication, and personal development. I love meeting people from different cultures and helping them feel more confident speaking Dutch. My classes are practical, relaxed, and focused on speaking in real-life situations. As a native Dutch speaker, I assist English speakers in learning Dutch in a practical and natural way. Although I don't have a traditional teaching background, I have plenty of experience in communication, coaching, and clearly explaining complex topics. My lessons are centered around real conversations, building confidence, and making step-by-step progress tailored to your level and goals. Book a lesson with me if you want to learn Dutch in a clear, practical, and relaxed way. We'll focus on your goals and the situations where you want to use Dutch. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, I'm here to help you gain more confidence and make real progress.

He's great.

I am very happy with the Dutch lessons from Cornelis. Dutch is a bit complex for me, and when I started learning the language, I had already learned some things on my own but needed someone to make it easier to understand. Cornelis took the time to ask about my needs and identify the areas where I needed improvement. He adjusts his lessons based on my personal goals and learning needs. He explains everything clearly and teaches in a way that is easy to follow and understand. I would highly recommend Cornelis to anyone who wants to learn Dutch in a supportive, patient, and effective way.

The tutoring is outstanding not only in strengthening academic skills, but also in building confidence in a meaningful way. He is student focused, crafty, scrupulous and awe-inspiring.

Rick is great at adapting explanations of tough concepts to understand in Nederlands and can adapt to your level well, and makes sure to take time with concepts so that you understand them.
