I had lessons with Marten for over half a year. He is a great tutor, very knowledgeable and has prepared every lesson with topics that he knew I was interested in. I learned a lot about the language, Dutch culture, but also about local events, which have helped me with feeling better integrated. Highly recommended!

I had a great experience learning Dutch with Esther. She brings a very personal touch to every class, and can easily understand, support and adapt to your language goals. Esther is a creative teacher, and very resourceful. She has an educated take on language learning which is reflected in her lessons. Every lesson is fun, engaging and highly useful....

My lessons with Cissy were amazing! She is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. She was super patient, and explained everything. She kept me motivated even when I joined the lessons super tired after work. I went from 0 to speak basic Dutch. I totally recommend her.
