Dutch lessons: how much an hour costs

Dutch is rarely taught in schools in Maidstone, so most learners go online or find a tutor through a university language centre. In person, a private Dutch tutor charges £28 to £45 an hour.

Online, native tutors from the Netherlands and Belgium charge from about £15 to £35 an hour. Lessons for professionals moving with their job, and preparation for the state exam, cost a little more. Ask your employer: relocation packages often cover language lessons.

Staatsexamen NT2 and the civic integration exam

People settling in the Netherlands sit the civic integration exam, and the Staatsexamen NT2 is required to study at a Dutch university or for many professional jobs. The CNaVT certificate is recognised in Belgium and abroad.

Preparing from England, learners in South East England usually take two lessons a week for six to twelve months, with a tutor who knows the format of the speaking and writing parts.

Why Dutch is quick to pick up for English speakers

Dutch shares a lot of vocabulary and structure with English, and is one of the faster languages to learn: around 600 to 750 hours for professional fluency. Pronunciation, especially the guttural g and the vowels, is where a tutor helps most.

The Dutch often switch to English when they hear an accent, so practise with a tutor first in Maidstone, then ask colleagues and friends to keep to Dutch. Dutch radio and children's television are good listening practice.

Dutch tutors: three ways to make progress

One lesson a week all year round

The most common pace among adults: it keeps motivation up and moves you about one level a year, as long as you practise a little between lessons.

A final push before an exam

Three or four sessions a week for one to two months, focused on the format of the test, past papers and timing.

Pure conversation to build confidence

No textbook: you talk about your day, the news or your job, and the tutor corrects the mistakes that keep coming back.

Dutch tutors in Maidstone: frequently asked questions

Is Dutch easy to learn for English speakers?

Yes, compared with many languages: lots of shared vocabulary and familiar sentence patterns. Pronunciation and word order in subordinate clauses take the most work with a tutor.

Do I need Dutch to live in the Netherlands?

Many people get by in English, but the civic integration exam is part of permanent residence for most non-EU nationals, and Dutch makes daily life and work much easier.

Is Flemish different from Dutch?

Flemish is the Dutch spoken in Belgium: the same standard language with a different accent and some local words. A tutor from either country prepares you well for both.
