Video intro
About Tim B.
Hello, my name is Tim and I'm from the Netherlands (Holland). I speak standard Dutch (ABN). I am an experienced and enthusiastic teacher of Dutch as a second language. Besides that, I am fond of culture, history, and geography. I have years of experience in language teaching, during which I have learned how to tailor blended learning methods to your needs and interests with the goal of improving your Dutch. Additionally, I have worked as a coach in various sectors in the Netherlands. I hold a TEFL certification and have acquired extensive teaching experience at the University of Amsterdam (UvA), instructing both adults and children. I utilize materials tailored to each student's level, profession, and specific needs, including fields like IT, medical, agriculture, construction, and business. I look forward to working on your Dutch with you! I am continually developing and seeking out new materials tailored to your needs. Combined with my experience, these resources will significantly enhance your Dutch skills! Besides assisting you with your use of Dutch and focusing on your profession, role, and interests, I like to focus on different aspects of culture such as food, art, street culture, music, and history. Schedule a class with me to get to know each other and clarify your goals and level of Dutch. You can also send me a message and I'll get back to you in no-time! Tot ziens!

Tim is always prepared for every class. He creates a schedule especially for you and everything is always neatly organised. Tim is friendly and professional at once. The exercises vary, so it is never boring. He always encourages you to try! I really recommend this tutor!

He is a professional and passionate teacher. Thanks to him, my imperfect Dutch sounds more and more like that of a native speaker.
- Frank★ 5 · November 5, 2025
He is very committed and replies super fast if you have to correct homework, and any other questions. The training materials are excellent.
