We offer 2 different types of courses: Group tuition and Individual tuition.
Courses start every Monday and end on Fridays; students with previous knowledge may start at any date, only absolute beginners are limited to certain starting dates.
Our groups have a maximum of 10 students per class; each lesson is 45 minutes long. This means that there are plenty of opportunities to participate in class conversations and to know your fellow students better. |
On the first course day absolute beginners will immediately start with their course. The rest of our new students will do a written and oral test and will then be placed into their courses according to the result.
Group tuition - Holiday course
The holiday course has 2 lessons per day on 5 days per week, thus a total of 10 lessons per week.

Group tuition - Standard course
The standard course has 4 lessons per day on 5 days per week, thus a total of 20 lessons per week.
This course is the best compromise between learning and free time. Four lessons daily guarantee effective learning, while the afternoon remains free for leisure activities.

Group tuition - Intensive course |
The intensive course has 6 lessons per day on 5 days per week, thus a total of 30 lessons per week.
If you want to learn more intensively and in depth, an intensive course is your best option. This course is based upon a standard course; which means that participants take part in the standard course and will have another 2 extra lessons which normally focus on vocabulary. |
|
Private tuition |
Private tuition with 2, 4 or 6 lessons per day on 5 days per week, thus a total of 10, 20 or 30 lessons per week.
