Frequently Asked Questions

How much do private English lessons cost?

Private one-to-one lessons start at €72 per hour. We also offer fixed packages of 10, 20 or 30 hours, with the per-hour rate dropping to as low as €50/hour on the largest packages. All prices include teaching materials and certification.

Are the lessons on-site in Amsterdam or online?

Both. You can have your lessons on-site at our school at Eerste Weteringplantsoen 2C in Amsterdam, live online via Zoom, or mix the two — whichever suits your schedule that week.

How quickly can I start?

Once we receive your inquiry, we match you with a suitable teacher and schedule your first lesson within 3 working days. There is no payment required until your teacher is matched and your programme is agreed.

What English levels do you teach privately?

All CEFR levels from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficiency). If you are unsure of your level, take our free online level check first and we will recommend the right starting point.

Are your teachers qualified?

Yes. All MixTree teachers are CELTA-certified — the industry-standard qualification from Cambridge English — and have extensive experience teaching adults in Amsterdam.

Can I combine private lessons with a group course?

Absolutely. Many students take a group course to progress through CEFR levels and add private lessons on top to focus on specific goals such as business English, exam preparation, presentations or pronunciation.

Can my company pay for the lessons?

Yes — we work with many companies in Amsterdam. We can invoice your employer directly, and English training is typically tax-efficient under the Dutch WKR (work-related costs) scheme. For full team programmes, see our In-Company English Courses page.

Training a whole team?

If you’re organising English training for employees, take a look at our In-Company English Courses — tailored programmes delivered at your office in Amsterdam, live online or at a location of your choice. Tax-efficient under the Dutch WKR scheme.

I've finished my C1 Morning Course (Dublin) in MixTree and I'm completely happy with the whole experience! We practiced a lot of speaking in every class, and it made me very talkative :) I love the communicative approach of teaching with flipped classroom — you're always working with your classmates and learning new grammar or vocabulary together! My teachers, Magui and Kathleen, are amazing people. I've also decided to continue with the next part of this course in October!
