Does this sound familiar?
- You've tried learning before
But classes, apps, or study books didn’t get you to the NT2 level you’re aiming for.
- You have an NT2 exam deadline
You need the certificate for employer requirements, professional certifications, or training programs.
- You want to develop personally
You want to communicate effectively at work and in daily life, and fully participate in Dutch society.
So, why a 1‑on‑1 NT2 course and not another group or app?
What didn’t work before
- Mixed levels: the pace and content didn't match your needs
- Too generic lessons, not focused on NT2 requirements
- Missed classes meant missed crucial information
- You felt a lack of detailed, personal feedback
What changes with 1‑on‑1 online
- Extensive speaking time + feedback in every NT2 lesson
- Practice exactly what you need for NT2 Program I or II
- Lesson times (08:00–22:00, Mon-Sun) that fit daily life
- Goal-oriented planning + a tutor who keeps you on track

Built for busy expats who’ve already tried other NT2 courses
You’ve tried courses, apps, or books before, but progress was slow and that stressed you out. At Dutch Ready, we adapt the course to you, not the other way around. Your private online NT2 lessons are fully tailored to your level, challenges, and schedule, so you finally make real, confident progress.
- Adapt lessons to your pace
Life isn’t always predictable. Pause lessons or adjust the pace when needed, so learning fits your life.
- 1 dedicated tutor, 1 clear plan
Your tutor knows your strengths and challenges. Together, you’ll set clear goals and track your progress.
- Change tutors if needed
Not the right match after all? Change tutors, or discontinue after lesson 3 and get remaining hours refunded.
- Cancel & reschedule hassle-free
Has something important come up? Move or cancel lessons up to 48 hours ahead at no extra cost.
- Start small, grow later
Many students start with a small number of lessons and expand once they see progress and feel confident.
- Flexible, not all‑or‑nothing
You don’t have to be perfect. Pause lessons during busy weeks, holidays or illness, or slow the pace anytime.
- One dedicated tutor + clear plan
Your tutor sets a plan and we track your progress. You always know the next step and have accountability.
- Safe way out if it’s not a fit
Easily change tutors. If by lesson 3 you feel it’s still not a fit, you can stop and get remaining hours refunded.
- 48-hour cancellation
Life happens. Work becomes demanding. Cancel or move lessons up to 48 hours in advance for free.
- Start small, grow later
You don’t have to commit to a huge package. Many students start small and add hours once they see it works.

Does this actually work?
4.9★ from 160+ reviews by expats and professionals who needed Dutch for exams, work and daily life.
Here’s what they say about our lessons:
I’ve been taking lessons with Annelies; she’s patient, easy‑going and always explains things clearly. My Dutch has already improved a lot, especially my speaking.
I took a lesson package with Philip, who tailored the lessons to my specific needs in the wine business. Dutch Ready made it a simple, smooth process to find a great teacher.
Every lesson is fun, engaging and highly useful. By the end of the course, I was able to have conversations with people in social situations and actually use my Dutch.
Our Dutch has improved so much in the short time we’ve spent with Esther! The method works and now we’re comfortable in having simple conversations and understanding our surroundings in Dutch!
Every lesson feels productive, and I actually use the language in real life. For instance interactions in stores or holding short conversations with partner's Dutch family.
Lessons are structured and informative. Thanks to organised lesson plans, I was able to build my grammar and vocabulary. Wieteke is patient and encouraging, guiding me through complicated concepts.
My tutor Annette is wonderful. Regular weekly 1‑1 lessons online have given me the confidence to start speaking Dutch from the start, and I understand so much more now.

Frequently Asked Questions about our online NT2 course
If you don’t see your question here, ask us on a free explore call or send a WhatsApp message.
What exactly is included in the €84,95 test lesson?
The test lesson includes:
- Intake questions about your NT2 goals, schedule and preferences
- A baseline level check
- A 1‑hour online lesson with a matched tutor
The online lesson is a full, normal lesson, not just a chat.
If you start your online NT2 course package within 7 days, we credit the full €84,95 towards your package.
Is the €84,95 test lesson a one‑time fee or per lesson?
It’s a one‑time fee for the test lesson: intake questions, level check and a 1‑hour online lesson with a matched tutor.
If you start a package within 7 days, we credit the full €84,95 towards your package.
Do I have to do a test lesson, or can I start straight with a package?
Most students do a test lesson first so we can check your level and tutor match.
If after the explore call it’s very clear what you need, you can start directly with a package, but we still recommend at least one test lesson before committing to a larger number of hours.
How much does it cost and how do payments work?
Our online 1‑on‑1 NT2 start from €900.
You can either pay in full (with a small discount) or spread the cost over monthly instalments.
All prices include VAT; Dutch language lessons are VAT‑exempt under education rules.
How many hours do I need to reach B1 / B2?
It depends on your starting point and how much time you have for homework, but as a rule of thumb you need about 40-60 lesson hours to get from A2 to B1, or from B1 to B2.
On the explore call we map your level and goal and advise what makes sense for you.
What can I expect from a dedicated NT2 exam track?
Typically, we can divide the private NT2 Dutch course into two phases:
- First we get you to the required level (B1 or B2).
- Then we focus on exam strategy: practising with old exams, timing, and how to structure your answers.
I’m anxious about speaking / my pronunciation. Can you help with that?
A lot of our students feel nervous speaking Dutch, especially after group courses where they felt exposed.
In personalized 1‑on‑1 NT2 lessons, you’re with one supportive tutor who corrects you kindly and works on pronunciation at your pace. Many reviews mention increased confidence as one of the biggest wins.
What happens if I need to pause or my schedule changes?
You don’t have to be perfect.
You can cancel or move your NT2 Dutch lessons up to 48 hours in advance without losing your hours, and you can pause your package for holidays, illness or busy periods within the validity window. We’ll agree the rhythm together so it fits real life.
When are lessons available? Evenings and weekends?
Yes. We offer online lessons Monday to Sunday, roughly 08:00–22:00 (depending on tutor availability).
On the explore call we look at your preferred days and times and match you with a tutor who fits that.
How quickly can I start?
Usually you can start within about one week:
- Explore call → 20 minutes
- Baseline level check → 30 minutes
- Tutor search → usually 5-7 days
- Test lesson → 60 minutes
In busy periods it can take a bit longer, but we’ll tell you honestly on the call.
Can you invoice my employer or use my learning budget?
Yes. About half of our students use an employer learning budget.
We can invoice your employer directly, adapt hours to a fixed budget (e.g. €850, €1.500, €2.000) and provide formal quotes or confirmation letters for HR on request.
Are the lessons really tailored to me?
Yes. Our online NT2 Dutch lessons are private and completely customized to you. With this tailored lesson plan, and a tutor who continuously monitors and adjusts the program as you progress, you can work quickly and efficiently toward passing your State Exam NT2.
How do payment plans work?
You can choose between pay‑in‑full (5% discount) and monthly installments for lesson packages.
With monthly installments the payments are done per month, but lessons can be planned in a shorter timeframe if you want.
What if it’s not a good fit?
If by your 3rd lesson you feel it’s not a good fit, you can stop and get the remaining hours of your package refunded according to our policy.
You can also switch tutors if the match isn’t right, just talk to us and we’ll help.
What’s the best next step for you?
