Thema von InteresseEssenWissenschaftMusikReisenGeschichte
8 years ago I finished my studies with a second bachelor in Business, with great honorees. Immediately after that I started travelling and I never really stopped. I have lived in Korea, Philippines, Australia, New-Zealand and travelled around in 20+ other countries. Along the way, I picked up fire dancing as a hobby, and there I discovered a passion for teaching.
To fund these travels, I worked as a Logistic Planner, Lab Assistant, Hotel Manager, Property Manager, WH Supervisor, HR-consultant and Carpenter.
Three years ago, I started helping immigrants with their English. Now, I am TEFL certified and ready to help you with your struggles in learning a new language.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a teacher, I love one-on-one classes. I listen to your goals and we go from there.
I offer 2 types of lessons to choose from, that we alter together to reach your goals:
- Conversational Class ==> through interesting conversations, I help you build vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Perfect for both kids and adults who want to practice and improve!
- Traditional Class ==> with 3 course books, we tackle all kind of grammar topics or industry-specific vocabulary based on your needs. This is a structured, well-prepared class for absolute beginners and people looking to get better in Dutch! No need to buy additional course books, I send you screenshots of all the pages ;)
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
With the conversational classes, we dive into your passions. We'll explore relevant articles together, creating a positive learning experience.
Dive into 'Dutch in 3 Months' or 'Basic Dutch' for creating some solid basics, from alphabet to sentence structure, boosting your confidence to converse fluently. These basics you will have to drill, because you can't build a house if you don't have a good foundation.
Already have a good foundation, but you want classes to improve? 'Intermediate Dutch' will get you forward with challenging topics and in-depth grammar.
On top of all these courses, i make my own exercises for you, to ensure that you retain everything you've seen with me.
I cannot recommend Quinten enough. Lessons with Quinten are always engaging and fun, he can pick up on the mistakes I keep making and provide an explanation for everything I don't get straight away - and there's a lot of it in my case. Which brings me to the point that he's also very patient and, most importantly, he has loads of useful materials and articles to share with you - tailored to your level and needs, of course.

Quinten is echt een vriendelijke en innemende leraar die een goede balans weet te vinden tussen je helpen met spreken en het corrigeren van je fouten. Hij is ook een interessant persoon, dus je komt nooit gespreksonderwerpen tekort. Ik kijk uit naar de volgende les!
