Personal Dutch

The Personal Dutch course is for anyone committed to learning Dutch and who is looking for a personal approach.

This course consists of weekly 1-on-1 lessons, where we focus on your speaking Confidence, your pronunciation and expanding your vocabulary. Everything about this course is tailored to your individual needs and your existing level of Dutch—starting from a solid level A2 and up.

If you’re looking for a personal, private, goal-oriented Dutch learning experience, this is the course for you.

What the course includes:

We work in cohorts of 3 months. Every week we'll meet for one online lesson of 50 minutes where we work together to improve your Dutch. In our lessons we dive deeply into what YOU need to learn. But that's not all:

For 4 days a week I'm available via Telegram to ask me all your questions, so that you will never feel stuck. It's like having me on speed dial in your pocket. You can also send me audio messages which I will give feedback on. This way you will see rapid change, because you're not just practicing one hour a week. It's a new life style in which you will integrate your Dutch speaking skills EVERYDAY.

It's a personal program adjusted to your needs and goals. We will use real podcasts, video's and texts to practice real life Dutch and to discuss during the lessons. You will be able to pick the theme's you want to talk about, this can also be work related.

Are you ready to start speaking Dutch the way you know you can, with me by your side?

Cost for this package: € 2399,-

This course is for you if:

You're committed to studying and speaking Dutch in your everyday life.

You need a personally-tailored program and you want to learn at your own pace, without the distraction of other students.

You want a teacher who motivates you to study and practice outside of the class.

You're looking for a fun and easy-going, but also motivating learning experience.

Let op:
This is not a one hour a week situation. If you say JA to working with me we start up an intensive program together where we keep in touch throughout the week. You have me at speed dial on your phone and I will be available for your questions, feedback or support 4 days a week (tuesday to friday).

What others say about private lessons with Mama Dutch.

Mariska is reliable, flexible and what I would call a "teacher for adult adults." I had my goal (e.g. inburgeringsexamen) and she was able to assist and guide me with this process. She is balanced, calm and pushes the student within the respectable limits. She acknowledges the importance of my work and is not overly upset for no homework (or that I forgot the word for the 50th time!). And she also always gets back to Dutch whenever I try to switch to English ;)

I was looking for private lessons because I wanted to move at my own pace, and be able to have the lessons based on my own personal schedule rather than a class schedule. Mariska made learning Dutch a fun experience. She is flexible, informative, casual, warm/friendly- and lessons were customized to my needs.

My lessons with Mama Dutch are 'supergezellig'! : ) I like her informal style of teaching and we are laughing a lot. Mariska also adds some new elements in the lessons like games or interesting articles to read. Regardless, there is always a plan for a lesson, so it's always effective. I feel a weekly progress with my Dutch.

About the teacher

My name is Mariska and as a teacher, I believe that learning a new language should be a stress-free and fun activity that easily integrates into your busy life. Over the years, I’ve seen so many students lose the joy of learning Dutch. After taking a typical Dutch course, you might believe that you’re either too old or too busy to learn Dutch. Or that there’s no need to learn the language because everybody speaks English. But learning a language is also learning about culture!

In this intensive, private course, I’ll give you a closer look into Dutch culture and use the language to teach you all the fun and weird things about the Dutch!
