About the teacher

Who teaches the lessons?

Benjamin van Triest, a native Dutch speaker, has taught the language for 12 years. Lessons are taught in English (or Portuguese), comparing Dutch to a language you already know rather than relying on abstract grammar rules.

What's the method?

The focus is real communication from lesson one: you speak Dutch in the lesson, and grammar is explained to make sense of what you just used. Content is tailored to your goal — conversation, the NT2 exam, work or study.

Where do lessons happen?

Online, live, on Microsoft Teams — students join from the Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil and Portugal.
