Why us

What sets our teaching apart.

Officially registered NT2 teachers

Our teaching is delivered by teachers registered in the official Dutch professional register for NT2 teachers (BVNT2). That registration is recognised and verified by Blik op Werk, the Dutch government-appointed quality body for civic integration education. With at least 15 years of teaching experience, you are learning from qualified, vetted professionals.

Small classes, real progress

Forget sitting in a classroom of 20 or more strangers. Our groups are capped at just 5 students, so you get real speaking time, real feedback, and teachers who actually know your name and your goals. Prefer to go one-on-one? We do that too, fully tailored to your pace and level.

Flexible by design

Life happens. Reschedule any lesson free of charge with 2 days' notice. No long-term contracts, no pressure, just steady progress at your pace.

Simple, transparent pricing.

These rates apply when you book lessons yourself. Where a course is purchased and funded by a municipality, the rate agreed with that municipality applies instead. For the Z-route this is almost always the case.

Dutch for healthcare careers

Specialised NT2 for people entering a care profession, and for nurses, doctors, dentists and medical specialists strengthening their Dutch.

From integration to the State Exam

A clear route from integration at A2 and B1 through to the State Exam NT2 at B2. Every programme follows the Common European Framework and, where relevant, the Dutch Reference Framework (1F–4F), with a focus on participation and employability.

Healthcare programmes

Specialised in Dutch for healthcare professionals.

Are you a nurse, doctor, dentist or medical specialist working toward BIG registration, or simply more confident communication with patients and colleagues? Or a newcomer hoping to build a career in care? Our lessons are shaped around real healthcare vocabulary and situations. Language that actually gets used on the job.

Please note: this is language teaching and language support. It is not medical, nursing or BIG-accredited training, and not an accredited MBO, HBO or academic programme. We do not issue formal professional qualifications ourselves.

  • Sector-specific vocabulary
  • Patient and colleague communication
  • Exam-ready B1 / B2 preparation
  • Aligned with healthcare requirements
For children

Dutch lessons for kids and teens.

We also welcome younger learners. Whether your child is just starting out or needs extra support alongside school, we offer lessons tailored to children and teenagers: playful and conversation-based for younger kids, more practical and confidence-building for teens. Our teaching includes a pedagogical qualification (pedagogische aantekening) focused specifically on working with children and teenagers.
