Esther Groenenberg (from Zwolle) became a famous Dutch singer, simply by publishing her song ‘Oh Meisje’ on You Tube. In no time, it became a hit in the popular ‘Top 100’. (Dutch pop-song hit-list.)
This compelling Dutch song radiates an irresistible positive view on the beauty every woman carries within herself. (The underlying message is: away with anorexia, away with face lifts! Stop fussing about your skin tone or the size of your bra. In other words: stop worrying about your looks and start living!)

We provide five types of courses: (please click on the colour-buttons for more details)
Evening Classes: a second Beginners Group has started on Thursday November 27th, 2008 (9 participants). Registration for this group is now closed, but a brand new Beginners Group will start on Wednesday 6 May 2009. Please click here to read more !
Course duration: Full Beginners Course = 32 weeks (= 64 hours). However, it is possible to take a partial course only: 1 x 8 classes (= 2 months), 2 x 8 classes (= 4 months), 3 x 8 classes (= 6 months) or 4 x 8 classes (= 8 months)
Rates: S$ 50/- per lesson of 2 hours each (NB: an advance payment per module of 8 classes is required: S$ 400/-)
· Please note that you are free to either stop after any module (8 lessons), or to continue with the next module. · So there are no obligations.
Venue: Education Centre Ed-Quest, 1 Goldhill Plaza #03-05 (just opposite Novena MRT station)
Dutch Crash Courses: these are private (one-to-one) sessions for those who are in a hurry. Venue: the teacher’s private address or your own place / office. Course duration: 10 sessions of 2 hours each (usually on one fixed day per week, so that would be a duration of two and a half months in total, but it is also possible to have sessions on more days per week). Rates: S$ 990/- for the complete private crash course of 20 hours. (If you like to practise a bit more, you can sign up for some additional private lessons after your 10th lesson: see last paragraph below on ’Private lessons’), so your Crash Course is always extendible, if you wish.
MVV Training Sessions: (for Long Term Visa Application). If you need to sit for your Civic Integration Exam at the Dutch Embassy in Singapore, this is the course you need to prepare yourself. These are private (one-to-one) lessons to practise a large range of real Civic Integration Exam questions, to assess your knowledge and skills. Course duration: 8 sessions of 2 hours each. Target: obtaining a visa for The Netherlands with a duration of 1 year. Rates: S$ 880/- for the complete course of 16 hours (Please read the important remark in orange below!)
Naturalisation Courses: in order to successfully apply for naturalisation, (= obtaining Dutch Citizenship, right here in Singapore) you will need to pass a special test at the Dutch Embassy here. This test (duration: 4 hours) comprises of an NT2 language test (NT2 proficiency level A2) and a knowledge test regarding Dutch Society. During private (one-to-one) sessions, we will intensively focus on both subjects. Social studies are the second mandatory part of the Dutch naturalisation test, and therefore, we will teach you these basics as well. Rates: S$ 100/- per private lesson (2 hours).
NB: Please note that it is NOT possible to receive a Dutch passport based on passing the MVV exam at the Dutch Embassy. (We have noticed that some Singaporeans are not aware of this.) The only true fact is that a successful MVV exam provides a visa for temporary stay only (one year with the possibility of an extension), provided you comply with the strict rules of the Dutch Immigration authorities (IND: Immigration & Naturalisation Department in The Netherlands).
Private lessons: these are individual, custom-made lessons of 2 hours each, specifically catering to your personal needs. We work with a large range of professional NT-2 teaching aids, developed in The Netherlands, specifically catering to your personal target. Rates: S$ 50/- per hour. |
