Living in Sydney? 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 Sydney, 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 Sydney 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 Sydney 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

Renee V
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
What's the best way to find a Dutch tutor in my area of Sydney?
If you prefer in-person lessons over online learning, LanguaTalk may not be the best fit for you. Instead, you can search for a tutor on a local service listing website or place an advertisement in your area. However, we do encourage you to try online learning – you have nothing to lose by booking a free trial session. Many students find that the online experience is just as good as in-person learning, with the added benefit of access to higher quality tutors at a lower cost.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk also offer Dutch lessons in Sydney?
Some tutors on LanguaTalk may also provide in-person lessons in Sydney, but most only offer online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. Additionally, most tutors are not located in Sydney because they are living elsewhere in the world. If you book a lesson with a tutor, you should assume that the lesson will be conducted online.
How much do Sydney Dutch tutors charge per hour?
Our research suggests that the average hourly rate for private Dutch lessons in Sydney is between $25-$35. Since online tutors don't have to travel to you and often live in countries with a lower cost of living, their hourly rate tends to be significantly lower.
What are the differences between learning Dutch with a tutor via video call and learning in person with a Dutch tutor in Sydney?
Some students might be unsure about learning Dutch online because they think it will be very different from in-person learning. However, many students find that the online experience is similar and they often develop strong relationships with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your selected tutor, you'll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor may also share learning resources with you (such as newspaper articles or YouTube videos) and you'll be able to collaborate in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
If you're new to LanguaTalk, we'll provide you with a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutors offer these for free. If a tutor does not offer a free trial, the trial price will be 30 percent of their full lesson price, allowing you to still try a session at a reduced cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to determine if the tutor is a good fit for you and get a sense of what online learning is like. The tutor will assess your level and try to understand your needs and interests so that they can tailor any lessons you choose to take. You'll be encouraged to speak as much as possible in Dutch, but you can also speak in English if needed.
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for 30 percent of their full lesson price.
Most students take 55-minute lessons. However, some tutors also offer the option of 30-minute lessons. If this option is available, it will be noted on the tutor's profile (below their pricing and above the 'Buy Lessons' button).
In general, 55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. 30-minute lessons may be suitable if you're taking lessons for your child or if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
LanguaTalk offers personalized 1-on-1 Dutch lessons with top-rated tutors. Here's how to get started:
1 - Find a tutor that meets your needs by reviewing their videos, reviews, pricing, and availability.
2 - Book a trial lesson. Many tutors offer a free 30-minute trial, while others offer a discounted trial price.
3 - Have personalized lessons with your chosen tutor via video call. Or try a different tutor if desired.
You don't need to provide credit card information to book a free trial session. Please only book a trial if you're seriously considering taking lessons. Tutor prices vary, and you can use the filter to find one that fits your budget. You can pay for individual lessons or purchase a package for a discount (view a tutor's pricing options on their profile).
We're confident you'll enjoy learning on LanguaTalk. Our platform is trusted by students worldwide because of our transparency. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display these ratings on tutor profiles.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. This is because we only accept the top 10% of tutor applications, unlike other platforms.
To access our full list of FAQs or get assistance from our friendly team, click the 'Help' button in the bottom-right. You can also watch students sharing their experiences learning on LanguaTalk below.
Lessons are taught one-on-one to ensure that you receive customized instruction. During the lessons, your tutor will use a variety of teaching methods and resources, including language exercises, conversation practice, and cultural notes, to help you reach your learning objectives.
All lessons take place via video call. Your tutor will normally give you a choice of calling tools, all of which are easy to use.
One of the benefits of online lessons is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, simply check their calendar to ensure that they have times that fit your schedule. Some tutors may have limited availability due to high demand.
