Starting ON POINT COMMUNICATIONS: A journey of empowering knowledge migrants
When the idea of ON POINT COMMUNICATIONS first took root in my mind, it was born out of a desire to assist the highly skilled knowledge migrants who had chosen the Netherlands as their new workplace. My vision was clear: to equip them with the Dutch language skills and cultural knowledge necessary to navigate their new environment, particularly through preparation for the civic integration exams.
Among these achievers in 2019 were
- Avanti Vyas
- Saurabh Kumar Baidya
- Vidhya Arun
- Roopashree Narayan
The initial stages were humble, with classes conducted in my home. But the learners were eager, driven by their own aspirations and their dedication propelled me forward in my mission. By the close of 2019, my students triumphantly cleared their Inburgering exams.

Achievers of 2021
As ON POINT COMMUNICATIONS began to gain momentum, I started securing halls to accommodate the growing number of students. This journey was not without hurdles. Challenges emerged in the form of costs, networking, and client outreach. But my business shifted dramatically as the pandemic arrived. Embracing online platform became essential to survive. It was an unchartered territory for me, and I’d no option. That year, despite the adversities and losses, ON POINT COMMUNICATIONS had 38 successful students.

Achievers of 2022
Despite such huge success, the road ahead was fraught with uncertainty, and obstacles surmounted, because online classes, I discovered, had its own challenges in terms of meaningful engagement and interaction in a virtual setting. Maintaining the attention and participation of the students required me to employ a balance, and it was a period of constant strategizing for me. Eastablishing a sense of community was proving to be a challenge, too. That year, I helped 25 students to take their exams and they all qualified!

Achievers of 2023
The challenges of the pandamic lifted little by little by 2023, but by then the learners had learned the ways to participate in enriching educational experiences, regardless of their physical location! Moreover, the flexibility inherent in online classes was too great to be discarded. I, too, in the past couple of years, had come up with different teaching style, more suited to online education. 27 students cracked their Inburgering exams in 2023, and quite a few opted to apply for the Dutch passport. This was indeed a significant step towards empowering the individuals to integrate in this society- the aim with which I started my institute!
