German Tutoring
in Eindhoven

Overcome the challenge of learning German with expert guidance.

With over 25 years of experience as an editor and author of language guides—including my publication German Slang – the real German—I help students and professionals gain confidence and fluency in German.

I also have hands-on experience raising trilingual children (Dutch-German-English) as a single mother for over 13 years, applying language immersion techniques daily and reading extensively in all three languages. This gives me unique insight into practical strategies for learning and retaining a new language.

Whether preparing for school, university, or professional life in Germany, my personalized, immersive tutoring ensures that German becomes relevant, practical, and enjoyable.

 

Dutch Language & Cultural Coaching in Eindhoven

Learn Dutch and navigate Dutch life with confidence.

As the author of the German-language book KulturSchock Niederlande and a “repat” who has lived among expats in the Netherlands for nearly 25 years, I understand both the Dutch system and the challenges internationals face when adapting to it.

My coaching combines:

  • Personalized Dutch lessons in real-life settings (home, work, or around the city) to build confidence quickly.

  • Practical cultural guidance on Dutch daily life—politics, healthcare, education, and customs

I provide personalized, in-person coaching tailored to your level and goals—whether it’s passing the inburgeringscursus, communicating confidently at work, or navigating daily life with ease. Lessons are immersive, practical, and immediately applicable, so you can settle in and feel at home faster.

“For many years, E. Gilissen has been providing us with excellent translations in the specialized field of jazz and contemporary music, capturing the unique language and nuances of the genre with great mastery. This skill has significantly expanded our international reach and is especially valuable in communication with the artists themselves. Moreover, the translations have always been delivered faster than we expected.”
