About Me
italki teacher since Jan 25, 2021InterestsArtTravelFilms & TV SeriesFoodScience
Hallo! I'm Miguel, a 'bon-vivant', born and raised in Holland. I studied art at the Royal Academy of Fine Art in Den Haag, and Film and Literature Theory at the University of Leiden. So I guess it's safe to say that I have a cultural background. I'm also a fanatic 'foodie' and chef. I now live and work in Koh Tao, Thailand, as a Scuba dive instructor. I am easy-going and laid back.
Since Covid I work as a Dutch tutor with Italki. I really like to help people with their Dutch. So far I have done almost 5000 lessons with people from 53 different countries around the world.
Me as a Teacher
I have gained a lot of experience in the past years with Italki. So I have developed different methods or styles in teaching, so we can figure out which way suits you the best.
Also for the beginners: have no fear! I am pretty laid-back and I can adapt my lessons to your level. Also, I have been living abroad long enough now, to have lost my 'Dutch directness' a bit and I get along quite well with people from different cultures.
I like to keep things quite casual during the lessons, but if you like your lessons a bit more strict, than that´s not a problem as well.My lessons & teaching style
Based on your interests and learning goals, I will customize your classes to your specific needs.
For the beginners classes, I have lots of Dutch textbooks in PDF, such as 'Nederlands in Gang' (A1/A2), 'Nederlands in Actie' (B1), or 'De Delftse Methode´. These books use different methods, so we can discuss which is best for you.
I can also train you for the different language state exams: Inburgering, NT2, EER, etc.
For the more advanced students, who want to practice conversation: We can address different topics, or debate on issues, or practice business Dutch. I am open to anything.
But all in a laid-back and relaxed manner, to ensure you will enjoy your lessons!My teaching material

I definitely recommend Miguel if you are looking for a superb Dutch teacher! He is always extremely well prepared, reliable and knowledgeable and, besides that, also has a relaxed, encouraging style, which makes me feel very comfortable to speak. His sense of fun and humour and his natural gift for teaching ensure that I enjoyed and educated myself at the same time. :)

Miguel is een heel goede leraar. De lesen zijn altijd zowel interessant als ook grappig. Je kan met Miguel over erg vele onderwerpen praten en hij kan je ook met de voorbereiding voor het NT2 examen helpen.
