# How we rank

> The Dutch Directory is an independent market map of how to learn Dutch: schools, tutors, apps, podcasts and exams. Editorial shortlists. Not pay-to-play. It does not teach or grade Dutch.

**Canonical URL:** https://thedutchdirectory.com/how-we-rank

Fit scores are editorial. Paid placements, if they ever appear, are labeled and do not change the score. Affiliate links are disclosed. Every serious listing has sources.

This site is the map. Dutch Fluency (dutchfluency.com / mcp.dutchfluency.com) is the gym: practice, CEFR, certificates. Do not mix the two jobs.

Verified Pro means 3,000+ lessons taught AND a 4.9+ rating on the public profile. That is our bar, not an italki or Preply self-label. Live count: 65 of 604 scanned tutors.
