Dutch reading club
Read a book by yourself before the session and discuss it in group, practice your Dutch and set goals together!
One meeting per month. We discuss books from Leeslicht/Eenvoudig lezen which are adapted for Dutch students (+/- B1). Or, if you like, you can read the original version.

B1 Grammar Boost Ik vond de cursus nuttig en ik stak er veel van op met name met de unieke oefeningen en de tijd om te praten. Maar het belangrijkste volgens mij is dat de cursus echt leuk was! Je denkt misschien dat grammatica saai of droog gaat worden, maar Ida maakt het leuk en interessant! Ik ga aan de volgende cursus meedoen en ik ben van plan om met Ida verder te gaan.

B1 Grammar Boost Ik heb van de cursus genoten en ik heb veel nieuwe dingen geleerd. Mijn grammatica was niet zo goed en ik voel nu dat het beter is. Ik vind de onderwijstechniek leuk om de grammatica te oefenen.

C1 conversationDe C1 conversatie-cursus met Ida was fantastisch. Ze weet altijd interessante onderwerpen te vinden en betrekt alle deelnemers. De mix van deelnemers maakt het nog interessanter. Het uur vliegt elke keer voorbij.

A2 Grammar BoostDe cursus "Grammar Boost A2" is een uitstekende manier om Nederlands te leren. Als je je Nederlandse grammatica wilt verbeteren, raad ik het aan, omdat de lessen erg dynamisch en praktisch zijn en Ida veel kennis heeft van de Nederlandse taal, ze geeft ons elke week les en legt de inhoud van de les uit met grote efficiëntie, gemak en enthousiasme.

Share your story courseIk heb veel conversatiecursussen gevolgd. Maar de "Deel je Verhaal-cursus" is heel anders en heel nuttig. Ik heb al veel geleerd toen ik de presentatie aan het voorbereiden was. De voorbereiding neemt ook niet veel tijd in beslag. Omdat je tijdens de presentatie meer en coherenter spreekt dan in de "normale" conversatiecursus, krijg je ook een meer individuele feedback. Warmste aanbeveling voor de cursus!

+I am a professional Dutch teacher, living in Amsterdam. I used to teach Dutch at a school in the Netherlands, but I moved to Spain in 2017 (and back to Amsterdam in 2020), which made me explore the possibilities to teach Dutch offline and online. I have given over 2500 online Dutch lessons. I am still learning Spanish myself and I know the process is long and difficult at times, but I enjoy the little moments of success. The feeling that conversations get more and more natural is really rewarding. In my free time I enjoy running, reading, spending time with family and friends and cooking (+ eating ;).I don't know what I need to work on. Is that a problem?
+Absolutely not. In private lessons I will quickly get an idea of your needs and will share my opinion with you, giving you clear tips to get your Dutch to the next level. In conversation lessons, you will get lots of opportunities to practice your speaking skills. In the structured group lessons I will make sure every student gets the support he or she needs and I will give you personal feedback outside the lessons too.I want to combine our lessons with self study, is that possible?
+Of course. Especially private lessons and structured group lessons go well with self study. Homework is included in packages and it will be completely tailored to your needs. In the structured group lessons, we will work with a book. Certain exercises are perfect for self-study. I will indicate which ones and give feedback and support, also outside the lessons.I am not sure about my level. What do I do?
+If you have followed Dutch courses before, you can start where you left off. So if you, for example, passed an A2 exam, you can move on working from A2 to B1. You can always send an email if you are in doubt. I will then help you decide which course fits you best. For private lessons, your level doesn’t matter. I will always tailor the material to your needs, whether you are a beginner or working towards C1.Do you have any other doubt?
+Do not hesitate in contacting us in the bottom link at this page to write us an email with whatever doubt you may have, we will be delighted to respond as fast as we can.
