“I needed to pass the Dutch national Staatsexamen NT2 Programme II in order to be able to study at university in the Netherlands. The lessons with the Dutchess were ideal because I could study at home, which really saved time. I think there are so many benefits to learning via Skype. You study in the comfort of your own home, there’s no travel and lessons are 1-to-1. It’s a really great system. The exercises are good and you get lots of opportunity to practice speaking during the lessons. I was well-prepared when it came to taking the Staatsexamen and passed without a problem. I’ve also recommended Dutch courses with the Dutchess to others, not least because I really enjoyed working with Nathalie and talking to her. :)»
