Check the CAO of your sector. The Personal Training Budget is often explicitly mentioned. You could also ask your employer or HR assistant about the possibilities.
Yes, you can use your Personal Training Budget for language lessons, which are often seen as a valuable investment in communication skills, especially if you work in a Dutch-speaking environment. Consult with HR or your supervisor to confirm.
One option is to pay the difference yourself. We can split the total into two invoices. Alternatively, you can discuss with your employer whether they are willing to pay the remaining amount.
Payment is to be made in advance by bank transfer or Ideal. You can pay the full amount of the course either in 1 go, or choose to pay in 2 or 3 terms (available for the Popular & Premium package). We will of course provide you with an invoice.
Even better: Dutch lessons are completely tax free as determined by the Dutch government. Easy as that!
Definitely. All we need are your company’s invoice details and the email address of the person handling finances. The invoice for your Dutch beginner lessons will then get sent directly to them.
Lesson credits are valid for 3-9 months, depending on the package you choose. Within these 3-9 months you have the freedom to schedule lessons when and where you want, making it possible to pause your course for a few weeks should that become necessary. Simply can’t find a way to complete your course in time? We’ll be happy to discuss the possibilities of extending your credits whenever necessary.
Lessons take place online, or at your home or office. Whichever you prefer. If you’re the adventurous type, many of our tutors are happy to show you the city during your lessons as well.
You get to decide together with your teacher which online platform works best for the both of you. This can range from Skype to Zoom to Google Meet.
The platforms we use vary from Google Meet to Zoom to Teams and Skype. It’s really up to you and your teacher to find one that fits both of you best. In terms of content, through use of screen sharing, combined workspaces and the like we’re able to offer a learning experience much like face-to-face lessons. All with the benefits of being online.
We’ll always try our best to find a tutor for your preferred time and location. If we can’t find a fitting tutor, we’ll suggest alternative lesson scheduling, or fully refund the trial purchase.
Yes. Finding the right chemistry is key. That’s why we offer a discounted trial lesson to get to know your tutor. If your tutor’s style isn’t a great fit, let us know. We’ll plan a second trial lesson with a new tutor free of charge. We’ll always help you find the perfect replacement so you can make the most of your lessons.
Our first question would be: how much homework do you want? Some of our students simply can’t find the time in their busy lives and that is absolutely ok! We work based on your schedule and not the other way around. Want to keep practicing outside of the lessons? Your teacher will discuss with you the amount and type of homework that is suitable for you.
We definitely can! Our teachers have plenty of experience with preparing students for their Dutch language exams. We can determine your current level together before the start of the online course, where after we help you gain the knowledge you still need to pass your exam.
Don’t worry, you won’t. Lessons can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours in advance. Cancellations within 48 hours will be billed in full. Also, you can decide your own lesson time, so lessons will always be convenient in your busy schedule.
We offer the possibility to choose a 10 -, 20 – or 40 hour lesson package. As you decide on the frequency and length of your Dutch lessons, your course-length can vary from 2 weeks up to 9 months. That’s up to you! Your lesson credit is available for 3-9 months depending on your lesson package. Each package includes at least 10 weeks more than necessary, so you have plenty of time to complete your Dutch course.

However long you want or need. We offer online lesson packages of 10, 20 and 40 hours. You decide on the lesson length (with a minimum of 1 hour) and lesson frequency. This means that the total length of a course can take from 1 week up to several months. It’s totally up to you! Not sure where to start? We often recommend 2x a week to get the most out of your Dutch lessons. If you’d like personal advice about the time you’ll need to learn Dutch, get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help you.

You get to decide together with your teacher which online platform works best for the both of you. This can range from Skype to Zoom to Google Meet.
Yes. Since all of our lessons are tailored to your language goals, we can easily set up a private Dutch conversation course for you which will be completely focused on speaking. Be prepared to lift your Dutch conversations to the next level!
How long it takes to get from one level to the next depends on lesson frequency (we recommend at least 2 lessons a week), amount of homework, your personal affinity with languages & how much Dutch you speak outside of the online classroom. From our own experience this can range from anywhere between 20 to 40 lesson hours when taking our private lessons.
