Thank you for your patience with me! I feel that pronunciation is the hardest part for me, but hopefully once I can construct a sentence with more ease, the pronunciation should be easier! I liked having the text and audio before the lesson so I could practice and have something to work with. Thank you and I’m looking forward to the next lesson!

Helen was friendly and I felt at ease as a person that has never spoken Dutch before, only read and listened. The lesson was professional and organised and I felt assured that Helen had a plan and was certain about the direction. Helen was encouraging and patient. I am excited about the progress I will make toward learning a new language!

Helen has loads of patience and is very pragmatic when encountering IT issues.
Every lesson I feel I make progress. Always a step in the right direction.

About me - English
Hello, My name is Helen Koolschijn and I'm an experienced native Dutch language tutor currently living in Barcelona, Spain. I have been teaching Dutch since 2006 as a second language through Skype and ZOOM. I also speak fluent English and Spanish.
I love teaching, traveling, learning about other cultures.
Qualifications & Experience
Since 2006 I have lived abroad and from that moment on I started to teach English as a second language at a language school in La Paz, Bolivia and Dutch as a second language online.
I have a certification in TEFL, TESOL, TEYL and I speak fluent English and Spanish, I also understand a bit of German and French.
Teaching Approach
My lessons are based on speaking the language but we will have a look at grammar, reading, listening and writing as well. I will make you feel comfortable to speak Dutch and we will have a lot of fun.
I can help you with your grammar, reading, speaking, listening and writing and also prepare you for the Dutch Integration Exam A1, A2 and B1, NT2 Program I and II, CNAVT exam or help you with an interview. I usually work with books but I have a lot of other material as well.
I always consider the individual needs of my students and adapt my lessons to their level and needs. Teaching for me is not just a job it is something that I really enjoy doing.
