Grammar Boost B1Ida is positive and encouraging and explains concepts very clearly. The material in the B1 Grammar Boost course is very well-organized and Ida manages to make what might be dry grammar topics, interesting. She speaks clearly and gives lots of examples. This course exceeded my expectations!

Grammar Boost B1Ik 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 BoostIk 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.

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 lerares 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.

A2 conversation courseIk heb echt van deze korte cursus genoten. Ik heb veel nieuwe woorden geleerd en mijn zelfvertrouwen is nu beter geworden. Ik vond de thema's en de conversatie met de andere mensen echt interessant. Ik vond de lesnotities van de docent tijdens de cursus erg nuttig, omdat ik ze na de cursus kon gebruiken.

Frequently asked questions
How do the lessons work?
+Each day we have a lesson (you will see it depending on the group you join) you will receive a Zoom link 30 mins before the lesson. When you click the link you will join a zoom call with your teacher and colleagues to have your lesson!Can I pay by transfer?
+Yes. Just select the group you want and click the write an email to join button and we will give you more details!Is it possible to receive an invoice?
+Yes. We are a registered Dutch business and provide invoices.Can you tell me a bit more about yourself?
+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.
