Experienced Dutch and English teacher, 30 years of experience. 13k+ classes on iTalki in 6 years. Hello! My name is Hans Simons, a Dutch native with a passion for languages, cultures, and connecting with people. Born and raised in the Netherlands, I trained as a nurse, which gave me a strong professional background and the chance to live in the US, UK, Colombia, Italy, and Spain. These experiences helped me learn several languages and understand the joys and challenges of adapting to new environments. Mijn naam is Hans, geboren en getogen in Nederland. Als verpleegkundige heb ik veel gereisd en spreek ik meerdere talen. Ik weet hoe belangrijk het is om je thuis te voelen in een nieuwe taal en cultuur, en dit inzicht neem ik mee in mijn lessen. If you want a teacher with real-world experience, a global outlook, and a supportive approach, I’m here to help you achieve your Dutch or English goals. Whether you’re preparing for life in the Netherlands, university, or need medical Dutch, I make language learning practical, enjoyable, and tailored to you. For Dutch lessons, I use the Zichtbaar Nederlands method, focusing on sentence structure, vocabulary, and guiding you through the integration process if needed. Let’s make your language journey rewarding and successful together!

Hans is amazing with helping our kids learn Dutch. He's professional, personal and incredibly patient! We'll be scheduling another set of lessons with him.

Het is goed om artikels te lezen en probeer mijn uitspraak te verbeteren. Ik ben vergeten om voor een beetje feedback te vragen
