Personal lessons focused on Programme I (B1) or Programme II (B2). For anyone who wants to study or work at vocational, higher education or university level in the Netherlands.
The Staatsexamen NT2 is the official Dutch language exam for adults who don't speak Dutch as their native language, organised on behalf of the Ministry of Education.
Both programmes test the same four skills, at a different level:
ℹ️ Important: The Staatsexamen NT2 is organised on behalf of the Ministry of Education and booked via DUO — unlike the CNaVT, which is a separate international certificate. Not sure which programme (I or II) fits you? Read the explanation of the difference between Programme I and II.
The Staatsexamen NT2 is designed for anyone who needs Dutch to study or work in the Netherlands.

Practical, personal and always based on the structure and criteria of the real Staatsexamen NT2.
The focus is on oral production: giving an opinion, describing experiences and holding a conversation at your level (I or II). We work with the same task types as the real exam.
Writing components are practised at home using real exam assignments. Your submissions are reviewed and given detailed feedback. If desired, they can also be discussed during the lesson.
We practise with texts and listening fragments at exam level, so you become familiar with the pace, question style and type of texts you'll encounter on the day. Where possible and desired, these components can also be practised at home as homework and reviewed outside the lesson.
We always work with the format, criteria and time limits of the real Staatsexamen NT2. This means you know not only what you need to be able to do, but also how the exam works.
After an intake analysis we determine together which programme (I or II) fits you and where the priorities lie. Each series of lessons builds on your progress.

"After several attempts with other teachers, Tim was the one who truly gave me the confidence to speak Dutch. Thanks to his patience I passed all my exams on the first try — with maximum scores."
"I had studied the material well, which meant I was really well prepared for the KNM exam. Thanks!"
"Tim prepares every lesson carefully and draws up a personal schedule. Everything is always well organised — he is friendly and professional at the same time."
