Living in Leeuwarden? See Dutch tutors' reviews & videos
In-person language lessons with a tutor can be a great experience, but if you're unable to find an affordable private Dutch tutor in Leeuwarden, online learning may be a good option for you. To take lessons with a Dutch tutor in your area, you may have to pay more to cover their travel costs or travel to their home, and the average cost of private Dutch lessons in Leeuwarden is over $20 per hour. With online learning, you can save on travel expenses and have access to top tutors from around the world.
Many students who try online language lessons with a tutor are pleasantly surprised by the experience. At LanguaTalk, lessons are 1-on-1 to ensure you get your tutor's full attention and can make rapid progress. Lessons are conducted via video call, allowing you to communicate with your tutor and share learning materials, as if you were in the same room. Give it a try with a free trial session and see for yourself!
You can watch Dutch tutor intro videos, check their availability, and read reviews from their students on their profiles. You'll also see which learning needs, ages, and levels the tutor is comfortable with.
Are you new to LanguaTalk? When you sign up, you'll get a token for a complimentary 30-minute trial lesson. Use this to meet your chosen tutor and decide whether you want to keep taking classes with them or look for a Dutch tutor in Leeuwarden instead. (Please note: not all tutors offer a free trial lesson - some charge 30% of their regular lesson price.)

Native Dutch tutor for every age/level
Hi :)
My lessons are constructed from a variety of exercises that I will assemble according to your needs. In the introduction we will establish your current level followed by marking your personal goal. In our 'real' lessons there is time for explanations on all the topics that concern you (grammar, vocabulary, orthography, speech, sentence construction, etc.), followed by some personalised exercises. We will do some of them together during our lessons, so I can support you and explain them. And then I will give the rest to you so you can practice at home in your own time. Together we will definitely tackle your goal.
I strive to talk Dutch in our lessons, but if need be I can give explanations in English or in German.
Hope to see you soon!

Learn Dutch with personalized classes and interesting conversations!
Hallo! I'm Pauline, and I would love to help you improve your Dutch. In my classes, the focus will be on conversation and interactive teaching. We will discuss what your needs and goals are, and adapt the classes so that they are perfect for you! This is what a typical class can include:
- I will offer you some useful grammatical tools which you can build on. We will practice these through conversation to make sure you completely understand each concept and are comfortable using it.
- We will have conversations tailored to your level about something that sparks your interest. Although it might seem scary, talking in Dutch regularly is how you will improve the fastest!
- We make use of articles, lyrics, and other multimedia to explore not only the language but also the culture.
- I will direct you to some resources/suggest some small tasks so that you can keep practicing outside of my classes as well. This is of course not mandatory.
- We keep track of your progress and evaluate regularly if the classes fit your needs and whether it is going in the direction YOU want it to go.
I'm a Belgian girl, and I love playing the violin, reading, decorating, going to museums & concerts and much more! I'm very interested in languages and cultures, so this is why I want to share mine with you. I taught myself Spanish, which gave me a lot of insight about what is helpful when learning a language. I hope to see you soon!

Enthusiastic native Dutch tutor helps you speak with confidence
Hoi! I'm Amarins originally from the Netherlands, but now living in Spain.
After helping my Australian boyfriend passing the Dutch 'inburgeringsexamen' and working as a coach in my previous job, teaching Dutch online was a logical step. Helping others improving their Dutch while working with different nationalities really brings me joy. Now I would like to help you!
My approach to teaching depends on you as a student and your goals . For my students who are just starting to learn Dutch I use an online program in which you can practice outside lessons as well. We also focus on speaking a lot so you can make connections with your friends, in-laws or neighbors. For my more experienced students, I adapt the lessons to your needs too. Whether it is preparing for an exam, wanting to master the different past tenses or needing more specific vocabulary for an internship, I am here to help you.
With my patience I encourage you to express yourself more confidently in Dutch while enjoying the process.
I would love it if you book a trial lesson now so we can start working together on reaching your Dutch goals!

Hiltje K
Professional and experienced Dutch speech therapist and tutor
Hello! My name is Hiltje,
I am a Dutchie and have been living in Romania since 1997. I would love to teach you my mother-tongue "Nederlands".
I like to impart Dutch daily-life culture, history, and traditions in our lessons and conversations. As a professional speech therapist, I enjoy working one-to-one, and preparing a program just for you! You may be a kid, a teenager or an adult, a beginner or already advanced. My passion is teaching you to speak, write, and read Dutch while simultaneously developing your practical listening and grammar skills.
I have lot of materials and expertise to help you prepare for ALL the official Nt2 exams, which I like to share with you! I also tutor schoolchildren in German, English and Romanian with their homework (and naturally Dutch and Frisian for my own kids 🙂).
In your first lesson, we will establish your learning goals, how we will reach them together and what means we will use.
So if you want to learn Dutch just for fun, for family, for work, for traveling, or for study, I would love to support and tutor you!
See you online soon

Melanie v
Enthusiastic Dutch tutor with over 8 years of teaching experience
Hoi!
I am Melanie and I have over 8 years of experience teaching English and Dutch to students of all ages and levels.
I teach the basics of Dutch to beginners, help intermediate and advanced students to improve their communication skills and prepare NT2 students to successfully pass their B1 and B2 exams. My classes are tailor made to the needs of each individual student, but also have a fixed structure with a strong focus on grammar, pronunciation and communication.
In my opinion people learn best when they enjoy what they are doing and when they are provided with guidance that is attentive to their needs. I want my students to feel at ease, relaxed and confident during class, but I also expect my students to be actively involved in learning Dutch. My goal is to provide a strong foundation that can be used to actively build new knowledge upon. In that way, students will become confident Dutch speakers.
No matter what level you currently have, we will work together to elevate your Dutch to the next level!
I hope to see you soon in class.
Groetjes,
Melanie

Experienced Dutch teacher (3000+ hours) for absolute beginners to intermediate students
Hello, my name is Renée. I am an experienced and passionate Dutch teacher. I teach absolute beginners to intermediate students, starting from 13 years old and above.
What can I help you with? Dutch basics, grammar, job interviews, conversational Dutch, etc.
I will provide you with customized lessons, adjusted to your needs. All materials are provided by me. I use NT2 materials (LINK+, De Opmaat, De Sprong and Koffiepraatjes), voice recordings, online material, Word-documents, and much more. After each lesson you will receive the material for your next lesson, so that you have enough time to prepare.
My lessons are relaxed, fun, structured, informative and of course educational. What I find important when teaching a language to my students, besides teaching what you need to know, is to provide patience, understanding, motivation and guidance. I know how challenging it can be to learn a new language, and I will guide you through it each step of the way. I will provide you with constructive criticism and will keep you updated about your progress.
When you are a beginner, we will first focus on building up some basic vocabulary and work on pronunciation. After that you will learn the fundamentals of Dutch grammar, and then we will fully focus on the practical use of Dutch with lots of speaking, listening, reading, and writing exercises.
I am looking forward to meeting you. See you soon!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Leeuwarden Dutch tutors charge per hour?
Our research suggests that the average cost for private Dutch lessons in Leeuwarden is somewhere between $25-$35 per hour. As online tutors do not need to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living, the hourly cost tends to be significantly lower.
How does learning with a tutor via video call differ from learning face-to-face with a Dutch tutor in Leeuwarden?
Sometimes students tell us that they're not sure about learning Dutch online because they think it’ll be completely different to learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a solid relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen tutor, you’ll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor will typically also share learning resources with you (newspaper articles, YouTube, etc.) and you’ll be able to collaborate in real-time using a tool like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
What are the best options for receiving Dutch lessons in Leeuwarden?
Whether you live in the city centre or the suburbs of Leeuwarden, there are many options for learning Dutch. You could use an app or a software program if you're looking to pick up basic vocabulary and learn some grammar rules. Alternatively, you could attend group lessons with Dutch tutors in Leeuwarden if you're keen for a social experience. Or, you could take 1-on-1 lessons with a private tutor. This isn't the cheapest way to learn a language but it's possibly the most effective, assuming you have a good tutor. Learning online rather than face-to-face may make private tutors a more affordable option. Check the tutor profiles above to see how much it's likely to cost. Prices vary a lot depending on the tutor, but will usually be cheaper than learning with a Dutch tutor in Leeuwarden, face-to-face.
What's the best way to find a Dutch tutor near me in Leeuwarden?
If you're really not keen on learning with a teacher via video call, LanguaTalk isn't going to be the right choice for you. You can instead search for a tutor on a local service listing website, or put up an advert in your local area. We do encourage you to give it a try learning online though - you've got nothing to lose as you can book a free trial session. Most people find the experience is as good as learning face-to-face, but with the benefit of having access to better tutors at a lower cost.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk also provide Dutch lessons in Leeuwarden?
Tutors on LanguaTalk sometimes provide lessons locally, but most only provide online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. In addition, most tutors are not teaching Dutch in Leeuwarden because they're living elsewhere in the world. If you decide to book with a tutor, you should assume that they can only teach you online.
The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, just check their calendar to make sure that they have available times that fit your schedule. Some tutors have limited availability as they already have a lot of students.
Lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can make fast progress. Communicating via video call, you’ll be able to talk to your tutor and share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
The tutors vary in terms of their teaching methods, resources, experiences, and personalities. So we suggest you look at several profiles to choose the best tutor for you. Whichever Dutch tutor you pick, they'll aim to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.
On LanguaTalk, you can find exceptional tutors for 1-on-1 Dutch lessons tailored to your goals and learning preferences. Here’s how to try it for yourself:
1 - Find your ideal tutor by browsing videos, reviews, pricing and availability.
2 - Book a trial. Many tutors offer a 30-minute trial for free; others charge a discounted price.
3 - Take personalised lessons with your new tutor via video call. Or try someone else.
No card is required to book a free trial session. Please only book if you're considering taking lessons. Pricing varies by tutor and you can use the filter to find someone who fits your budget. You can pay one lesson at a time, or buy in bulk for a discount (open a tutor's profile to see their pricing options).
We’re confident you’ll love learning via LanguaTalk. We're trusted by students all over the world because we're transparent. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display reviews on tutors’ profiles.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. Why? Because unlike other platforms, we accept only the top 10% of tutor applications.
To see our full FAQs or get help from our friendly team, click the 'Help' button in the bottom-right. You can also watch students talking about their experiences learning via LanguaTalk below.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, you’ll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the ‘Buy Lessons’ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if they’re for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
New to LanguaTalk? We'll give you a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutors offer these for free. If they do not, the price will be just 30 percent of their full lesson price, so you can still try a session at minimal cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to assess whether the tutor is a good fit for you, and get a feel for learning online. The tutor will assess your level and aim to understand your needs and interests so that they can customise any lessons you decide to take. You'll be encouraged to speak in Dutch as much as possible, but of course you can speak in English too!
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is quite right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for just 30 percent of their full lesson price.
