About Us

Our History

On December 7th, 2009, Dutch Courses Amsterdam opened its doors with just one teacher and two students: Alex and Osmanis. Our very first investment? A good coffee machine—though, unfortunately, it didn’t arrive on time! So, during breaks, we’d head to the café around the corner. Those were the days…

Alex and Osmanis continued with one course after another, and soon more students joined us.

Though the journey was sometimes challenging, the atmosphere was always relaxed, and everyone had fun exploring the nuances of the Dutch language together.

 

 

Fostering Curiosity in Learning

From the very beginning, our mission has been to create an inclusive, welcoming, and relaxed environment where students feel both supported and challenged. We aim to inspire confidence by encouraging students to take risks, make mistakes, and grow—knowing that learning is a process that includes both successes and corrections. This approach helps our students build the self-assurance they need to confidently speak Dutch with accuracy.

Now, 15 years later, we’re proud to have helped over 10,000 students achieve their Dutch language goals. Our dedicated team of +15 passionate professionals is ready to guide you on your own language journey.

With thoughtfully structured grammar and conversation lessons, our courses are delivered by experienced teachers using our own authentic, relevant materials. We keep classes small—just 7 or 8 students per group—to ensure personalized attention and an effective learning experience.

    I really enjoyed my 2 weeks intensive Dutch class.
    The teachers were very good, enthusiastic, patient and well-prepared. The course is well-structured, with a good pace and lots of energy, making learning
    … More both enjoyable and effective. The small group size allowed for personal attention, and I built good foundation in Dutch. Highly recommended!

    Highly recommend DCA for those interested in learning Dutch. Great teachers, useful material, course structure that teaches both the structure of the language and practical conversations.

    Best school ever!
    - 8 studants max per class makes the class always dynamic and offers more opportunities for you to interact and ask questions.
    - Teachers always make sure to clear things up and help
    … More you really get the content.
    - Material: book, quizzlets and audios. All of these made by them.
