GET TO KNOW YOUR TEACHER
Hi, I’m Driss.
I’m a Belgian native Dutch speaker and professional language teacher based in Vietnam. I know what it is like to build a life in another language. My lessons combine structure, practical conversation and honest feedback.

CLEAR STEPS. REAL PRACTICE.
A plan, with room for you.
Tell me what matters
We discuss your current Dutch, the situations you want to handle and what has been difficult so far.
Practise something useful
Try an activity at your level. We add useful language and repeat the conversation with feedback.
Keep building
Follow a clear learning path, revisit useful language and adapt the lessons as your needs change.
What would you practise in a lesson?
Choose a situation. Here is one small example of the kind of language we can work on together.
Check what a colleague needs.
A colleague asks for help with a task. You need to check the deadline.
Try the question, listen to a possible answer, then practise with your own task. We add grammar and pronunciation where they help.
When do you need it by?
Stay in the conversation.
You catch part of a story at the table, but miss the last sentence.
Practise asking for help, listening again and adding a short response of your own. A question counts as joining in, too.
Could you repeat that last part?
Introduce yourself. Then ask a question.
You are meeting someone for the first time. A few useful patterns are enough to begin.
Build a short introduction with your own details, ask a follow-up question and practise understanding a simple reply.
I’m … I live in … And you?
Examples, not a fixed syllabus. Your level and goals shape the actual lesson.
