Class size – You don't want to feel lost in a big classroom which is why classes consist of no more than 4 people. You get ample personal attention and will always be able to actively participate.
Individual coaching - Each course incorporates one or more private coaching sessions. This allows you to catch up on material or to make extra progress.
Learning and doing - Are you able to form a sentence? Good, now use it! When you acquire new language skills we go out and test them on real live Dutch people.
Beyond the course - The aim is for you to be self-reliant at the end of the course. You will be comfortable with starting conversations and have the tools to expand your Dutch by yourself.
No extra costs - With each course you get the SYD syllabus containing theory and exercises and a dvd with audio and video material. Everything you need to get you started.
