Sofia K.

Hi there!

My name is Sofia, and I'm a native Dutch speaker with a passion for languages and helping others learn. Whether you're just starting out or looking to improve your fluency, I'm here to guide you on your journey to mastering Dutch.

I tailor my lessons to your goals—whether that's confidently having daily conversations or gaining a better understanding of Dutch culture! I believe that learning should be engaging, practical, and fun, so I focus on interactive, real-life situations to help you progress naturally.

With experience teaching students, I know how to adapt to different learning styles and needs. Patience and encouragement are two key pillars in this learning journey!

Let's take this step together—book a trial lesson and discover how I can help you achieve your language goals. I look forward to meeting you soon!

I'm a qualified language teacher, dedicated to helping non-native speakers learn Dutch (and previously English and French) in an effective, enjoyable, and personalized way.

I hold a B2-level diploma in Dutch (State Examination), and in my professional life, I constantly communicate in Dutch. This allows me to incorporate my linguistic accuracy and cultural insight into every lesson.

Over the past 10 years, I've taught Dutch (as well as English and French) to students from beginner to advanced levels, working with learners of all ages and backgrounds—expats, students, travelers, and professionals preparing for a move or job in the Netherlands or Belgium. My dream is to help you in everyday situations, like renting a home, making a doctor's appointment, or simply chatting with your neighbor!

My teaching method is student-centered and goal-oriented. I create customized lesson plans based on your level, interests, and objectives. I use a mix of:

- Communicative methods: to build practical conversation skills

- Grammar and vocabulary development: naturally integrated into context

- Speaking and listening exercises: with authentic Dutch materials

- Reading and writing exercises: to reinforce language structure

- Interactive tools and assignments: to make learning engaging and practical

I adjust the pace and style of the lessons to meet the unique needs of each student.

As someone who speaks multiple languages myself, I understand firsthand the challenges of language acquisition. I bring patience, motivation, and structure to our lessons and always strive to create a positive and encouraging learning environment. My students often tell me they feel comfortable, supported, and just the right amount challenged.

Ready to get started?
