Private Dutch language course

Flexible, private training

A one-to-one course is always personalised to your needs and objectives. Would you like to practise speaking? Or do you want to learn more grammar? Are you struggling with industry-specific language or technical vocabulary? We will develop a private course programme based on your specific needs, at times to fit your schedule.

What to expect in this private Dutch language course

Before the course starts, the trainer will contact you to discuss your personal learning objectives and assess your level. It’s the input for the course programme. We’ll arrange 90-minute lessons for you once per week, but more often if that suits you better. One-to-one courses usually take place online.

You determine the course pace and course content. A qualified and experienced trainer will help you achieve your goals and ensure that your learning is enjoyable as well as educational. Here are some examples of what we could work on in a private Dutch language course.
