Course information

Everyone learns differently, and what’s great about an individual Dutch course is that we can tailor it completely to your preferences. Whether you’d like to build up your skills slowly or take an accelerated approach, we will create a programme that suits you. Not only do you decide where and when you take your lessons, but also what you would like to learn. 

Although the course is fully tailor-made, an individual Dutch course at UvA Talen always includes:

  • A lesson plan that fits your level, wishes, and goals;
  • A personal intake with your teacher;
  • An experienced Dutch teacher who pays close attention to culture and the context you’re in
  • Lessons at your own pace, from once per week to several times per week.

Whether you want to improve your speaking, write more fluently, or prepare for an exam, one-on-one learning will help you progress further – and faster.

Who is an individual Dutch course designed for?

For everyone who would like to learn Dutch quickly, purposefully, and with great results. Perhaps you’ve just moved to the Netherlands and you want to integrate quickly into daily life, or you’d like to speak with more confidence, start a study programme, or prepare for a language exam. No matter your situation, you’ve come to the right place if your looking for one-on-one lessons!

How is an individual Dutch course structured?

We start with an introductory conversation in which you share your goals and wishes. From there, we’ll create a proposal with an initial lesson plan and a tailored quotation. After that, you’ll have an intake with a teacher to determine your starting level and fine-tune the course content. Once everything is in place, you can get started- often within two to three weeks!

Can I take lessons together with someone else?

Definitely! Would you like to learn Dutch with your partner, friend, or housemate? We’re happy to create a proposal for a duo course. Small groups are also possible! Feel free to contact us to discuss these options. Prefer to learn Dutch with your colleagues? We also offer tailor-made courses for business and in-company training.

An individual crash course in Dutch?

Yes, that’s possible! We can adjust the intensity to suit your needs, and in some cases, you can even start within a week. 

Want to make big strides in a short period of time? Then our InTense Dutch course might be the right choice for you: an intensive training where, within one concentrated week of lessons, you make significant progress in your Dutch language skills.

What levels are available?

You can start at any level, from absolute beginner (A0) to advanced (C1). During the intake, we determine your current level and tailor the learning programme precisely to your needs. This way, you’re able to learn efficiently without wasting time on things you already know.

A shortcut to fluent Dutch

Not only will you learn words and rules, but also how to apply them in real situations. How do you greet someone on the street? What do you say when ordering something? How do you start an e-mail or talk about your weekend? From “May I have a cappuccino?” to “Can you explain that in a bit more detail?”, you’ll learn Dutch that is of immediate use to you.
