Meet Simon: Your Guide to Learning Dutch
Welcome to Simon Says: Learn Dutch!
I’m Simon, a native Dutch speaker from Brussels and an experienced language teacher with more than 15 years in education. Over the years I’ve helped learners from all over the world master Dutch and Flemish with confidence, from complete beginners to advanced speakers preparing for exams.
A Journey Through Languages
My teaching path has taken me from Brussels to the Middle East and now to beautiful Vienna. These international experiences have shaped the way I teach. I’ve seen firsthand how challenging it can be to learn a new language, not only through my students but also through my own love of learning languages.That’s why my teaching style is engaging, flexible, and practical. I adapt every lesson to your needs, whether you want to build a strong foundation, refine your fluency, or prepare for official exams like the CNaVT or Staatsexamen NT2.
What You’ll Gain from My Lessons
Choosing the right tutor is key to your success. In our lessons, you can expect flexibility that fits your schedule, clear explanations that make grammar and vocabulary accessible, and plenty of speaking practice so that you can immediately put your Dutch to use. I create a supportive atmosphere where mistakes are not something to fear but an essential part of the learning process. My goal is simple: to help you not just know Dutch, but to actually use it with confidence in real-life situations.
More Than Grammar and Vocabulary
Learning a language is never just about words and rules. It’s about connection, culture, and discovery. That’s why I also bring in cultural context, everyday expressions, and tips that make your Dutch feel alive and natural.
