I'm Ruben, currently 20 years old and live in a small town near the center of Utrecht, The Netherlands. My greatest passion is dancing, which I've been doing for over 10 years. I also love learning languages. Currently, I'm studying Czech and I have just started with Italian.
Me as a Teacher
I totally understand the frustration that comes with learning languages. Believe me, I've been through it myself. I'm currently learning Czech, so I'm familiar with the struggles my students face. Learning a new language is a journey, and I'm right there alongside my students, navigating the ups and downs together.
The minium age for my students is 16+
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is all about jumping into conversation. That's where the real fun begins. It keeps you motivated and eager to learn more. So, get ready for loads of chatting and lively discussions in my lessons because that's what improves your speaking ability! We can talk about whatever you want. I'm all about keeping things fresh and fun, so feel free to toss any ideas my way!
I only teach the basics of grammar.
Late/absent policy
If a student is late or absent , I will wait for only 10 minutes to pass (with or without notification). After the 10 minutes, I will leave the classroom and charge the full price of the class. If you book a class you have automatically agreed to my terms.

After having had a couple of lessons with Ruben, I can confidently say he is an excellent teacher for conversational practice. He gently corrects mistakes and provides thoughtful advice on how to phrase sentences in a way that sounds natural in Dutch. His patient approach creates a relaxed learning environment, making it easy to improve fluency. I wholeheartedly recommend Ruben as a language tutor!

Ruben is really nice! Just had my first test lesson and I can't wait for the next one. He was instantly able to provide materials that were perfect for my Dutch level, and helped me a lot.

I just had my first lesson with Ruben which I enjoyed greatly. We spoke Dutch the entire time and despite far from being fluent in Dutch, I felt comfortable right from the start, because Ruben is naturally able to create an atmosphere in which I had no fear of making mistakes or hesitating here and there while searching for a word.
Thanks, Ruben, and I'm looking forward to the next lesson.

Ik vind Ruben een zeer behulpzame gespreksbegeleider. Hij is flexibel, heel makkelijk om mee te praten en hij ondersteunt mij goed waar ik nodig heb dus hij is een echte aanrader. Ik kijk uit naar mijn volgende les 👍
