Personal Dutch lessons that help your child feel at home
Is your child learning Dutch alongside school? Or does your child need extra support to understand, speak and use Dutch with more confidence?
At Geerlings Educatief, Monique offers personal Dutch lessons for children of international families in Amsterdam. She adapts each lesson to your child’s age, language level, school situation and interests. Whether your child is taking their first steps in Dutch or already understands quite a lot, the aim is to make learning feel clear, encouraging and useful in everyday life.
Dutch that connects with your child’s life
Children learn a new language for different reasons. A child at an international school may want to speak Dutch with friends or during activities outside school. Another child may need help following lessons, understanding instructions or expressing ideas in a Dutch classroom.
Monique begins by getting to know your child and finding out where support would make the greatest difference. Lessons can focus on:
- speaking and understanding Dutch
- vocabulary and pronunciation
- reading and writing
- Dutch used at school
- homework or school assignments
- feeling more comfortable using Dutch with others
The lessons are individual, so there is room to slow down, practise something again or move ahead when your child is ready.
A comfortable start in a familiar language
Starting to learn Dutch can feel daunting, especially when everything around a child is new. When helpful, Monique can explain things and communicate with your family in English, Spanish or German. Dutch is then introduced and practised step by step.
For younger children, activities can be playful, practical and suited to their attention span. Older children can receive more structured language support connected to their schoolwork and personal goals.
Personal guidance for parents
Parents know their child best. Monique therefore stays in touch with you about what your child needs and how the lessons are going. If your child’s school situation or confidence changes, the lessons can change with them.
Does another member of your family want to learn Dutch as well? You can also explore our International Families and Family Dutch Flex options.
First let’s talk
There is no need to choose a programme before you contact Monique. Tell her a little about your child, their age, school situation and experience with Dutch. You can then have a personal conversation about what would help and what a suitable first step might be.
