Personal online lessons tailored to internationals: flexible timing, language you can use right away for work and daily life, and lessons in Dutch, English or Spanish.
We work with a proven method as a foundation — just like in regular NT2 courses — but supplement it with other materials and exercises that fit your situation as an expat: no years to spare, language you can use right away, and a pace that suits you.
Lessons are planned around your work, timezone and travel schedule — no fixed group class timetable to fit yourself into. A booked lesson can also be rescheduled or cancelled free of charge up to 12 hours in advance, and once per lesson even at the last moment.
Explanations in Dutch, English or Spanish — so tricky grammar always stays clear, whatever your starting level.
We work on what you actually need: a conversation with colleagues, calling the doctor, grocery shopping, or a job interview.

Practical, flexible and focused on what you need now — not a fixed textbook pace.
No years of grammar study before you're allowed to say anything. From lesson one you practise real, everyday situations — mistakes and all, because that's how you learn fastest.
Lessons adapt to your schedule, not the other way around. Handy for changing work hours, travel or a different timezone. Free rescheduling up to 12 hours in advance — and once per lesson, even at the last minute.
We practise the language you'll actually use: at work, at the doctor's, with neighbours, or during official appointments. No dry textbook dialogues.
Writing assignments are practised at home at your own pace, with detailed feedback — so every lesson minute goes to speaking and practice.
Whether you're learning for work, civic integration, or just for yourself — we determine the pace and focus that fits your goal together.
