Apparently there are almost 600 primary schools in the Netherlands offering VVTO to their pupils. Strangely enough only about 20 of these schools are in the Den Haag region. Considering The Hague is the International City of Justice and Peace this seems somewhat strange to me. Do you have any thoughts on this subject?

Need Teacher Support?
19 February 2011 By
There are already more than 500 VVTO (primary) schools in the Netherlands. That’s a very exciting development in education. Since there are very few teacher training colleges that actually offer any form of training in how to teach English, this is indeed quite amazing. How do they do that? Shouldn’t there be more teacher training and support before schools embark on such an ambitious project? Or at the very least some form of support from native speaker teachers?

In today’s business environment in the Netherlands, we can no longer escape having to make telephone calls, give presentations or attend meetings in English. Do you feel confident negotiating in English? How do you make your position clear without coming across as being too direct or even rude? Whatever you need to practise, at a time and place that suits your agenda, with your personal, native-speaker teacher. Call BBLC

“As a professional personal trainer and language coach (Mistress) Helena did a wonderful job with helping me to improve my English language skills. She also translated my book The Change Maker® from Dutch into English with a high level of accuracy. Beside that we shared experience concerning how to guide individuals through a severe change process, both personally and professionally.”
