Firstly, it's not just for beginners! I have been studying Dutch for many years and can honestly say that I have learnt far more with Jelle than other tutors I have had.

Jelle is a very patient teacher who always takes time to explain grammar thoroughly, and makes sure you have understood everything before moving on. We typically cover a lot of ground in one hour but Jelle's friendly and good-humoured manner always makes the lessons enjoyable.

After a few months of 1-to-1 Dutch lessons, I was confidently ordering in cafés, chatting with Dutch colleagues, and joining conversations at my partner's family gatherings.

One of my proudest moments was explaining a heating problem to a Dutch plumber entirely in Dutch. It was a real confidence boost and showed me how much progress I'd made.

The lessons taught me that learning Dutch isn't about being perfect—it's about building confidence through regular practice in a supportive environment.

Subtly Brilliant. I am learning Dutch for fun. I could learn wider spoken languages, but I choose Dutch because it has been a culture that has interested me. Jelle teaches the foundations of grammar and vocabulary in a very gradual way, which remains fun. He integrates Dutch culture and history to give relevance to the rules of the language. I really enjoy this class.

I started private Dutch lessons as a complete beginner and was genuinely nervous because I have dyslexia and languages had always felt intimidating to me.

What surprised me most was how comfortable and supportive the Dutch tutoring sessions felt from the very beginning. The teaching style made everything feel clear and manageable without ever making me feel embarrassed for needing more time.

Week by week, small things like recognising Dutch words in supermarkets or understanding messages from friends started building my confidence. For the first time, I felt like my dyslexia wasn’t holding me back while learning a language.

Because I travel frequently for work and my schedule often changes, I needed a flexible way to learn Dutch. Being able to join online Dutch classes from anywhere has helped me stay consistent and I keep making progress.

I expected online group lessons to feel less personal, but they've been interactive, supportive and genuinely engaging. Jelle makes everyone feel comfortable and involved, and the group atmosphere keeps me motivated to keep learning.

What I first saw as a compromise quickly became one of the biggest strengths of the Dutch course.

“This is an amazing way to learn Dutch. Jelle is a great teacher and takes you through the 'building blocks' at a nice steady pace. The learning material is easy to understand and access. I would highly recommend this teacher.”

Before starting lessons, I often felt disconnected from everyday life in the Netherlands because I couldn’t fully understand conversations or join in confidently.
The classes helped me feel much more comfortable using Dutch in real situations, even when making mistakes.
Over time, simple things like chatting with neighbours, ordering in cafés and understanding conversations around me became far less stressful.
I now feel much more included socially and far more connected to Dutch culture and daily life.

I’m in my 50’s and I have been learning Dutch with Jelle now for nearly 2 years. It’s not the easiest language to learn, but Jelle is an excellent teacher, patient and very easy to laugh and get along with.
I’d have no hesitation in recommending Jelle to anybody

I’d tried learning Dutch on my own for a long time, but I always struggled to stay motivated and keep going.
Having structured weekly lessons gave me a routine and something to work towards. Even on busy weeks, the homework, recordings and supportive atmosphere helped me stay on track.
The classes always felt encouraging rather than overwhelming, and for the first time I felt like I was making steady, real progress with Dutch.

The classes I had with Jelle were very engaging and well planned. Despite happening over Teams he made sure everyone in the class was engaged and getting involved, and gave very helpful corrections.
The price of the course was reasonable, considering how tricky it can be to find Dutch classes. I would absolutely recommend Jelle to anyone wanting to learn Dutch!
