I'm a language enthusiast in every sense of the word. I love learning new languages, but I also love teaching them. I truly believe that speaking a new language helps you to better understand yourself, others and the world we live in.
I'm a native Dutch speaker from Belgium, currently living in Vienna. I love exploring new book and music stores and I'm always looking for the best cup of coffee!
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I'm an experienced language teacher specialising in teaching Dutch as a foreign language. I use tried and tested methods to help you feel confident right from the start.
In my career, which spans well over a decade, I have helped dozens of students either learn Dutch from scratch or reach a higher level of proficiency.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My approach focuses on interaction and communication. I believe in teaching languages in an environment that mimics the real world, so you can start using what you've learned right away.
I have a relaxed attitude, but I am firm on quality. I believe that one of the most underestimated qualities of a teacher is the ability to really listen to their students. This helps me to identify your specific needs so that I can help you grow as a language learner.

Simon is very good at putting the student at ease to speak, including on more technical and advanced topics. He also has an in-depth knowledge of the Dutch language that will be of interest to anyone wanting to go further in their study of the language.

If you're looking for a casual conversation class as an intermediate-level student, you landed on the right profile! He's a real professional and patient teacher who stays calm when you don't even know what you just said in Dutch/Flemish. And that helps me try things out, make more mistakes, and learn from them. I definitely recommend Simon's class very much!

Simon is a teacher by trade and it shows. He is patient, kind and encouraging but, as any teacher should, he listens carefully to what you say, identifying problems and providing excellent feedback. He completely understands the structure of his own language and is able to explain clearly why something is the way it is. He is also funny and interesting in his own right, so you are unlikely to run out of conversation! I can't recommend Simon's lessons enough.

Excellent trial class! Simon is clearly a very experienced teacher. He provided good structure and was extremely patient and supportive. Will be back for more classes :)

Thank you! Lucas actually said it was really fun and he never says that about Dutch lessons.
