Please send a review as this will be posted on your tutor’s profile.

What is the program for children?

Children sessions can take place at your home or online. The program will be tailored to your child’s needs, if possible in cooperation with the school she or he attends. The tutor will connect to your child’s interests and use that as motivation for teaching. Learning by playing, interactive games, visit a playground, library, shop or museum, interact with other kids with the guidance of the tutor, in combination with modern study methods. Children sessions are available for all ages.

Languages

Can I learn other languages?

Select the language you want to learn. Couldn’t find the language you want to learn? Please contact us and we will find you a tutor. You can use your package for any language, for which we have tutors available.

What is a bridge language?

You can select a tutor on bridge language, e.g. you are from Brazil, then you can learn Dutch with a tutor who speaks Portuguese. That will make it easier to learn Dutch, instead of having English as bridge language.

Study books

What study books does Flowently recommend?

Study books we recommend are modern, and most have a site for self-study. Study books are not included in the fee for the sessions. You can order your books here.

Flowently is offering free E-books for Dutch, English and Papiamentu.
We advise all our students to buy a Taaltempo book in the language they are studying, if available. This method will really help improve pronunciation, speaking skills and speed up the reaction-time.
