52 lesson hours in total, approximately 26 weeks

Group: Dutch from scratch
For those who are new to Dutch and want to test the waters!
All my students would agree that it’s worth investing in some Dutch lessons. Whether to improve your small talk around the water cooler or to order a broodje kaas at lunchtime, a bit of Dutch is always appreciated.
Go from A0 to A1
Total of 34 lesson hours divided into 17 lessons of two hours over approximately 8.5 weeks
Small groups: max. 3 other language learners at a similar level
Material: Nederlands in Gang
Combine this with the follow-up course from A1 to A2 for a comfortable Dutch level.

Dutch Course - Custom
For those who want to learn at their own pace!
Learning can be challenging, especially if your native language is quite different. With a custom course, you decide what (specific skills or levelling up), how (alone, with your team or with a friend) and in what timeframe (once or multiple times a week) you learn Dutch.
This course is also perfect if you want to learn specific skills in Dutch. For example writing or learning how to speak Dutch in your field of work.
Suitable for any level. Download the brochure or click below to make an appointment.

Relevant, flexible and effective
Take your Dutch to the next level with a group course or private lessons tailored to your needs!
Why The Apiary?
Skip what you know and learn only what’s relevant for you.
I keep track of your progress and goals so you can focus on practising as much as possible.
Flexible planning: weekly or biweekly, planning everything ahead or week by week.
Short and sweet or extensive and all-encompassing. I’ll make a proposal but ultimately you decide on the length and contents of the course.
Writing Dutch - Group or individual
For those who know quite some Dutch and want to focus on perfecting their writing skills.
Speaking and writing are interconnected. Improve one and the other will follow. But calling your landlord about a leak and writing an important project scope to reel in that next big client are two different things.
In this course, we focus on relevant writing for your (work)life. We use texts you wrote and there will be a lot of writing exercises. But don’t worry, it’s all a lot of fun!
Engels leren - op maat
Op zoek naar een cursus Engels of Zakelijk Engels? Dan ben je hier aan het goede adres.
Get to know me before committing to a course!
Book a short introduction meeting to see if we’re a good fit!
In a short meeting, we’ll get to know each other and we’ll talk about all you need and want in terms of language. After the meeting, I’ll send you my advice tailored to your needs. Are you unsure? I highly recommend looking around before making a choice. You’re always welcome to come back to me!
