Want to learn Dutch by yourself, in your own pace, in your own time? Then private lessons are right for you! One of our experienced Dutch teachers will do an intake with you before the lessons, so we know exactly what you want to get out of the lessons.

During the lesson we will work on grammar, listen to Dutch dialogues to improve your listening skills, read texts but most of all do lots of talking. We will practice your speaking skills with both roleplays and ‘freestyle conversations’, even after a few lessons you will be able to hold a basic conversation in Dutch.
Our teachers like to make the lessons fun and varied by adding aspects of Dutch culture, such as videos and Dutch songs. These lessons are 100% catered towards your own needs, so we encourage you to always give us feedback so we are teaching the perfect lessons to you.

The best way to learn a language is from someone who clearly has the passion to teach it. Thanks for the lessons!
USAJan’s lessons are very well structured for optimum progress while there are lots of fun things to do 🙂 Also introduction to various aspects of Dutch culture and practicalities must be very helpful for those who are new to the country or would like to finally give it a shot! The teacher is also a lovely good person. Highly recommended!
JapanJan is an enthusiastic teacher that adapts his style to each student. He is very motivating and knowledgeable and finds always themes that are interesting. He uses different apps to send all new vocabulary and he treats each student in a very personal way. Thanks to Jan I got my Dutch to the next level and I can fully recommend him. As an addition to his skills as Dutch teacher he is up to date on what is on in the Netherlands!
SpainI have been a student for 3 years, and I am incredibly happy with my progress as a Dutch language student! It is a personal learning experience that is made to match my needs. My lessons are tailored to make them relevant to my experience here living and working in The Netherlands. I couldn’t ask for a better way to learn a new language!
