We have over 6 years of experience with language lessons for non-native speakers and are now going to use our expertise for a different target group. We want to help non-native speakers who already are working or studying in the Netherlands to take the next step in mastering the Dutch language.
What’s the difference between our regular classes:
- These classes are more intensive;
- These classes are particularly suitable for the secondary and higher educated;
- These classes are smaller, we use a maximum of 8 students per class;
- We work with Boom and Coutinho methods, these are more suitable for intensive courses;
- Where regular classes take months, the classes for this group are done after
maximum 10 weeks;
– These classes are homogeneous;
– These classes start and end with the same group, no lateral entry is possible; – These classes are mainly scheduled during evenings and weekends;
