About School for Dutch
The School for Dutch has taught Dutch in Amsterdam for over three decades, now based in De Pijp. Director Wessel van der Heijden brings a theater background to the teaching, which emphasizes speaking and rhythm over textbook memorization — "Dutch the natural way", getting students to actually talk from the first lesson rather than drilling grammar rules in isolation.
Courses progress through three main levels: Survival (A1-A2), Small Talk (A2), and Conversation (B1). Each runs as a series of 10 lessons at 1.5 hours each, meeting once weekly. Vocabulary and grammar are embedded in dialogues and interviews, with students working in pairs and threes to maximize speaking time, and an online practice system reinforces grammar between lessons.
The school also offers private lessons for individuals and couples, plus in-company training for Amsterdam-area businesses.
