Learn Dutch & live in your private teacher's home around Rotterdam with Home Language International!
Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including Dutch lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Netherlands. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.
You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one Dutch lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Rotterdam. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in Dutch.
All of our teachers in Netherlands have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Rotterdam, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.
Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.
The teachers at UPB are fun loving professionals who know that the most effective way to learn is not only with traditional teaching methods, but also by providingthe students with exciting, engaging learning experiences.
Approach
We know our students, and the lessons are always catered to suit them individually so that they can get the most out of their lessons.
UPB uses a wide range of methods to attain the best possible class for all of our students. We apply games, puzzles, unsuaual topics, and a wide variety of methods in addition to more traditional lessons in order to keep students intrigued and enthusiastic about learning.
Lessons
Students have plenty of choices when it comes to choosing a lesson plan. Our private lessons are ideal for those who need a more one on one approach to their studies. Duo lessons are also ideal for those friends who would like to learn together, or if you're feeling daring and want to meet another student to share your journey. Our group lessons provide a fun, engaging way to meet others, and to explore learning a new language with people from all walks of life.
No one student is the same, and we understand that giving students options is the first step to successful learning.
