Dutch classes in Zurich: Try a class for free
Finding Dutch classes in Zurich that are both effective and affordable can be tricky. Classes are typically in groups, meaning you have limited opportunities to speak. On top of this, you’ll often find certain students dominate the conversation, or ask the teacher endless questions!
LanguaTalk offers a more convenient and effective alternative: 1-on-1 online Dutch classes with experienced native tutors. You won’t find these tutors available for face-to-face Dutch lessons in Zurich. LanguaTalk finds the best tutors from around the world. They offer conversational Dutch classes at cheaper rates because they don’t have to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living.
Probably you’re thinking: but are online classes really as effective as face-to-face? You can book a no obligation 30-minute trial session (for free with most tutors) and see for yourself. Classes take place via video call, allowing you to communicate with your tutor and share learning materials, as if you were in the same room. And you can book classes for whenever it suits you.
Below, you can filter to tutors who have availability that fits with your Zurich time zone. Then watch videos, check reviews, and book a trial session.

professional Dutch teacher
Hi! My name is Lize. I'm a native Dutch speaker and teacher born in Belgium but based in Portugal since 2021. I work as a freelance Dutch teacher, teaching intensive courses for an international recruitment agency that hires Portuguese professionals for jobs in the Netherlands, and private classes through LanguaTalk and similar platforms. I have experience teaching groups and individuals, both online and in-person. Language learning is my passion and I love finding out what you're passionate about, so that we can incorporate it in our lessons. I strongly believe that learning happens best when my students are having a good time! Every lesson is unique and adapted to your unique needs.
Most of my students are learning Dutch because they're moving to the Netherlands or Flanders. I love helping people get ready for an international move. I've made one myself, so I know how daunting it can be! I also help many of my students prepare for official language exams. Whatever your background, level and language goals, I invite you to tell me about them in a free trial lesson so that we can figure out what I can do for you.
Je parle aussi français. Tambem falo português.

Dutch teacher and tutor with seven years of experience
Hallo! Hello!
My name is Carelys Perez, I am 27 years old and from the Netherlands. I have been tutoring Dutch for a couple of years and still enjoy doing it! I have a passion for languages and like to share this. I can speak multiple languages and even during my Iaw studies, I have focussed on the different language interpretations of the law on several occasions. I am curious and solution-oriented. That is why I believe that with an individual approach, I can help anyone learn the Dutch language!
A bit more about me personally: I enjoy writing (stories, plays, and music), acting, playing basketball, and making music.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Dutch lessons in Zurich more expensive than learning online?
Whilst not always the case, Dutch classes in Zurich are typically more expensive than online learning options. This is due to the costs associated with using a classroom, as well as travel time and expenses for teachers. Online classes, on the other hand, eliminate these overheads. Additionally, online instructors often live in countries with lower living costs, which can further reduce the price of online classes.
Do any of the teachers on LanguaTalk also offer in-person conversational Dutch classes in Zurich?
While some teachers on LanguaTalk may offer in-person conversational classes in their local area, the majority specialize in online teaching. This approach is more convenient for them, allowing flexibility and the comfort of working from home. Most teachers are not based in Zurich and are spread across the globe, so if you're looking for a class with LanguaTalk, you should anticipate an online learning experience.
What's the best way to find conversational Dutch classes near me in Zurich?
If you prefer in-person learning over online classes, LanguaTalk might not be the best fit for your needs. For local classes, you can search through community boards or local service listing websites. However, we encourage you to explore the convenience and effectiveness of online classes. You can start with a free trial session to experience the benefits first-hand, such as access to a broader range of experienced teachers and potentially lower costs.
How does participating in a Dutch class via video call differ from attending a Dutch class in person in Zurich?
Many students initially have reservations about participating in online Dutch classes, thinking the experience will be vastly different from in-person classes. However, they often discover that online classes can be just as engaging and effective. In an online Dutch class, you’ll interact with your teacher and classmates as if you were all in the same room. The teacher may share resources (like articles or videos) and will collaborate with you in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper, ensuring an interactive learning environment. The biggest benefit is convenience: there is no need to travel, and you can book lessons for when it suits you.
Most students take 55-minute lessons. However, some tutor also offer the option of 30-minute lessons. If this is available, it will be noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the 'Buy Lessons' button).
In general, we recommend 55-minute lessons for most students. You may want to consider 30-minute lessons only if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice, or if the lesson is for a child.
