Who We Are

Two colleagues, a man with gray hair and beard and a woman with brown hair, are sitting at a cluttered office table, giving each other a high-five and smiling. The table has laptops, papers, notebooks, coffee mugs, and office supplies. The background features a brick wall, a window, plants, and a presentation board with graphs and charts.

For over 20 years, Anglo-Dutch has specialised in providing tailor-made language courses for businesses in the Netherlands. The company was founded by Shona Ackerman, a highly experienced business English trainer with an extensive background in linguistics and intercultural communication.

Shona is passionate about helping people gain confidence and fluency in English. In addition to teaching many of the English courses herself, she has built a strong team of like-minded trainers who also teach a range of other languages. All trainers are native speakers, highly qualified, and experienced in both business language training and specialist learning needs.

At Anglo-Dutch, we believe that learning a language should be a positive and rewarding experience — whether you are taking your very first steps in a new language or aiming to communicate with skill, precision, and nuance at an advanced professional level.

We stay up to date with the latest developments in language teaching and are equally comfortable delivering training in-company or online.
