Learn Dutch // Not a school
Communication is a
creative
process
Hi, I'm Jan
I believe that communication is a creative process. You always have several options with
subtle differences.
To offer the freedom that language needs, I use my own materials instead of a book. I prefer open exercises to the ones with a dotted line.
This way, you’ll make lots of mistakes… Perfect! That’s the best way to learn;
Communication is a practical ability, not a theoretical field of knowledge.
Speaking, listening, writing, reading, trying, stumbling, and laughing are great tools in this process.
I work in an alternative way
Interactive & playful sessions
Lots of talking time and individual attention focusing on communication
Relaxed atmosphere
Learn from an official teacher in a not-so-official way
7 years of experience
With excellent results
Small groups
Max 7 students
Teaching and learning can exist outside a school.
I believe that learning a language is easier and nicer with the following ingredients:
- coffee/tea
- lessons in a nice home
- personal approach
- variation
- irregularities
- good jokes
- bad jokes
- a tour through Utrecht
Taking it where it goes
The sessions have a relaxed structure. We use the blackboard whenever necessary and I like to use different kinds of materials.
No boring lessons
In the interactive sessions, you'll be introduced to the Dutch language as its's being used in the real world.
Group sessions
In small groups of max 7 students, you’ll experience enough personal attention while being able to have nice conversations and learn from the others.
We’ll be using a blackboard but no book.
I have sessions for beginners up to advanced students.
Price: €17-€22 per session
Individual sessions
Individual sessions give you the option to practice Dutch at a time slot suited for you. You’ll get direct attention and we’ll adjust the content to your level and interests.
Price: €35-€45 per session
Pop-up theme sessions
The theme sessions are popping up during the year and have – as the title suggests – a different theme every time.
Keep an eye on my Facebook page for new theme sessions.
Price: €25 per stand-alone session
(current students 50% discount)
I'm working for the happy customers
Learn Dutch in an easy-going and open style.

I studied with Jan on an advanced level. I loved his approach where every student got the challenge they needed and we could learn from each other.

When I came to Jan, I had tried some other approaches and had learned some Dutch but I wanted to get more active communication... yadeyadeyade...
