My Teacher has helped me enormously with my language abilities. Every class was tailored so that I can have fun while learning. We would talk about life, work, school and experiences while also doing grammar or vocabulary exercises. That way I felt like I was learning how to express myself rather than learn a fixed set of words for grammar exercises. She encouraged me to speak, would give me very positive advice and has constantly built my confidence. I felt supported during my learning journey. I found a mentor in my teacher, and that is important for a foreign student, starting life in Amsterdam, at 19 years old. Thank you!

Great teacher - so far learning Dutch has been rather easy

Alan Burnside is one of the best teachers I had in my entire life. His classes are long engaging conversations, his course is one long process that starts the moment you register and never really ends. The concepts, images and techniques you leave with are ones for life. Thank you Alan

The teacher was very professional and she tailored-made ways to help students to learn.

De UvA Talen is behulpzaam en vriendelijk.

Well structured lectures, all students are kept involved and motivated, useful feedback from the teacher, friendly and kind atmosphere.

It was interesting and, thanks to the teacher, a really good experience

Flexible, self-paced learning with interactive content covering speaking, listening and reading

I had a great experience

Overall it was a good experience and I'd sign-up for another course. Personally what I did not like was the exclusion from the communication between UvA Talen and my company. As we are all working, more flexibility would have been appreciated, but was in fact met with some hostility from the teacher. For the rest, all good :)

I was very happy with my course, my tutor was informative and patient. I also felt the classes were well prepared and organized, with the information being shared easily after each class.

The atmosphere was full of mature adults. I enjoyed it.

I loved it. The teacher was so passionate and I could learn the basic of Dutch.

Excellent
