About
Beginner or Intermediate Dutch? I can help you.
I was born in the Dutch speaking half of Belgium, and grew up in the charming town of Bruges. I learnt English as a child watching the BBC and listening to pirate radios like Caroline, and eventually I obtained a BA in translation Dutch-English-French.
My love for the Dutch language led met to pursue a professional career as a journalist and editor in Belgium. My love for the English language came in handy when I moved to the UK and started a business with my British partner.
I started teaching Dutch online during the pandemic, and I absolutely love it, I love helping people learn a new language from scratch.
My lessons are adapted to your goals, your time, your interests, how you learn best. I use everyday language, and I can tailor it to Dutch as spoken in the Netherlands or Dutch (Flemish) as spoken in Belgium.
I offer flexible one hour or two hour lessons.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Patrick C.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Patrick is a lovely man and a fantastic teacher. I have noticed such an improvement in my dutch already - particularly with my confidence. He is very good at explaining things in many different ways, for instance if I don’t understand something he can explain it in a different way until I do understand. He is very patient and kind and you can tell he loves tutoring! I would absolutely recommend Patrick!
