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.

Structured course A1/A2

I found the structured group lesson A1/A2 course with Ida very helpful and clearly more personalized than large class lessons I took elsewhere. I have been able to improve my Dutch thanks to the long conversation time that each participant had, and Ida was great as a teacher. In the future, I would definitely consider taking courses for further levels and also recommend my friends to take courses from her!

Share your story

Ik vond de cursus "Share your Story" geweldig. Het heeft me geholpen mijn uitspraak, vloeiendheid en woordenschat te verbeteren. Ook het luisteren naar de presentaties van de andere deelnemers was erg goed voor mijn auditief begrip. Alle deelnemers waren aardig en de feedback van Ida in de chat was erg nuttig.

Conversation C1

Ik vond het super leuk door de interessante onderwerpen en de kans om met andere mensen te praten. Dat was een goede uitdaging voor mij omdat ik privé lessen neem.

Conversation course A2

I love the different themes and the follow-up questions. Other student's answers gave me a different perspective of the world. Hence; I learned not only some Dutch but also about other countries & cultures; which is fun!

Ik vond de cursus leuk! Je moet elke week een presentatie maken, dus je leert veel nieuwe worden. Ik denk dat het is goed te combineren met andere cursussen.

Structured course A1/A2

The twelve-week course was extremely helpful. Ida creates an encouraging atmosphere and is a patient teacher. The lessons had a balance between grammar from the text book and free conversation and by the end of the course we were able to be more spontaneous with this. I now feel much more confident about speaking in Dutch and may well go back to The Dutch Online Academy for more tuition in the future.'

I found the course really good. Ida is a great teacher. She corrects in an instructive way what you said by typing the conversations in the chat, so you can study them after. And she is not seeking perfection which paralyzes. The participants can suggest topics based on their preferences which is nice and difficult concepts are explained very well.

Conversation course A2

Ik vind deze cursus zo leuk dat ik hem nu vier keer heb gevolgd. Elke week bespreken we een interessant onderwerp en Ida maakt de klas leuk, interessant en informatief. We leren niet alleen over een verscheidenheid aan Nederlandse dingen, we leren ook over elkaar terwijl iedereen bijdraagt aan het gesprek. Ik raad deze leuke cursus zeker aan!

C1 conversation

De 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.

Grammar Boost B1

I really loved this course! I had not been in a group class before and I was surprised by how well you kept everyone engaged, and how much fun it was. The lessons were very well organized and the pace was perfect for me. I liked the way you had us interacting with each other so there was a conversational element, which gave me more confidence in my listening and speaking abilities.

Individual lessons

Ik ben altijd al een taalfanaat geweest. Nadat ik bijna 3 maanden alleen Nederlands studeerde, was het tijd om een leraar te vinden om sneller vooruitgang te boeken. En zo vond ik Ida. Haar lessen zijn goed gestructureerd en toch flexibel. Ze hielp me om mijn zwakke punten in de grammatica te verbeteren zonder het ritme van onze dialogen te verliezen. Ida’s belangstelling voor verschillende onderwerpen en haar enthousiasme maakte het hele proces leuk en interessant. Ook lette ze op mijn uitspraak. Dit is in het Nederlands niet altijd makkelijk en als je niet constant gecorrigeerd wordt dan loop je het risico om op de lange termijn altijd dezelfde fouten te maken. Als ik zulke leraren had gehad voor de anderen talen die ik nu spreek zou ik mezelf door de jaren heen veel tijd hebben bespaart! Ik beveel Ida ten zeerste aan als lerares Nederlands.

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.
