Dutch and Flemish for all ages, tailored to your needs and taught in a fun way!

From 56 C$ /h

Dutch can be very stressful to learn because of its difficult grammar and many different accents. As a Belgian-born Dutch speaker who lived for 5 years in the Netherlands, I can teach you about all the different accents, pronunciations and I understand the hurdles of learning such a multi-faceted language. I have learned 5 languages myself now together with Latin and ancient Greek so I know exactly what it is like to struggle, to overcome low confidence, and the many pitfalls of learning a language.

Thus, I want to bring the Dutch language to you in an easy, fun, and accessible way tailored to your preferences and needs. Send me a message, tell me a little bit why you want to learn Dutch, who you are and we can set up a personalized program in a super friendly environment!

Cheers and tot later! See you later!

About Me

Hello!
Passionate about languages, having had to learn Persian and Italian for myself, I know what it's like to need a great tutor to take you along the different steps of language acquisition and also getting rid of that feeling of self-judgement and shyness.
I am a native Dutch and English speaker and also a certified TEFL tutor and Ashtanga Yoga teacher. In my free time, i love to go climbing, practicing block printing and gardening. I own a small Persian carpet business with my husband which is my main occupation.

Ashtanga Yoga personal training (AT THE MOMENT ONLY ONLINE!)

48 C$ /h

Ashtanga Yoga can be daunting to try at first. It is known to be a powerful, strong type of yoga that is not very friendly to beginners or non-athletes. Nevertheless, I want to completely debunk that myth and take you through all the different asanas, step by step, tailored to your specific needs.
I have worked in the past with people recovering from injuries such as a hernia or without knee ligaments, with people who haven't done sports in years as well as with professional dancers who just want to go a little deeper into a posture. Additionally, I have my 200HR Teacher Training Certificate endorsed by Manju Jois himself.
I am happy to do a session as part of a series of private lessons, so I can understand what you want to improve or learn with Ashtanga, and how I can best help you with that.
Unfortunately, for the moment I am only available online and not at my home location in Antwerp, Belgium.

Dutch is my mother tongue, I am Dutch and I suggest you improve your level of Dutch by focusing on conversation - pronunciation - learning to express yourself well - convincing shyness to speak. Of course also academic support - explanation of grammar - reading and understanding texts - writing and editing. Preparing for job interviews, raising the level of Dutch for professional use to a higher level, working with university students to prepare for their Dutch exams etc etc. I adapt my lessons to the needs of each student. With advanced students we discuss the news based on newspaper articles.
I speak fluent French, English, and Italian. I am a lawyer by training with 30 years of experience in international business. The ultimate goal of my lessons: to love Dutch and prepare for your future!

I tutor in various high school subjects, including mathematics, physics, and Dutch.

I studied linguistics myself, but in pre-university education I followed a Science & Technology profile, which means I also know everything about the subjects mathematics and physics as they are taught in secondary school.

At the moment, I only have time available on weekdays in the morning or early afternoon, for which I have lowered the rate.

I use several methods which are specially conceived to teach Dutch to people who have a different mother tongue. I really like to use methods out of the ordinary like role games or methods with which you learn while playing. All these adapted to the student's situation of course. As I learned myself a couple of other languages, it is easy for me to detect difficulties a student can encounter and adapt the way of learning. I can teach in English, French, German and Russian.

Each class is tailored to the individual's requirements and/or needs. Want to improve career opportunities; learn or improve business Dutch, which will be the focus of each class.

For those already are familiar with Dutch; expanding existing knowledge together with a deeper cultural understanding and insight.

All students will be provided lesson schedules in advance for their review (time permitting).

The main focus is on total immersion in a fun and comprehensible way, without omitting important aspects such as grammar, etc.

SOME REVIEWS:
Chevaan:
Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

Prepare in an efficient, intensive way for the ITNA (Interuniversity Language Test Dutch), based on tailor-made exercises.
We practice together on language in use, grammar and vocabulary, gap texts, structuring exercises, dictation, presentations and argumentation.

Would you like to learn Dutch at a different level (A1 - C1) or are you a native speaker with a specific question, be sure to check out my other lesson "Dutch for non-native speakers and native speakers".

In our class we will be relaxed, I will help you with the Dutch conversation, the grammar, reading (like an article or a topic what I will give you). I will help students for beginners-lower-intermediate level. After every lesson I will give you homework for the next lesson. Between the two lessons you can always ask me a question about the subject what we’ve discussed. If you have a subject what you’d like to learn about the Dutch language, let me know. I’m looking forward to see you in my class.

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

Hello!

I am a teacher in Tokyo. My lessons are particularly suited for those who need to practice their pronunciation and/or their vocabulary.

My classes can also include cultural aspects of the language and Dutch society. They would be ideal to help with orientation before travelling or moving to The Netherlands. If you are interested in the country and its customs, please do not hesitate to contact me.

日本語少し出来ます。宜しくお願いいたします。

My name is Ron, a dedicated Dutch tutor based in Suriname. Originally trained as an HVAC engineer with the intention of continuing my father’s legacy, I transitioned into teaching during the pandemic after discovering my passion for language education. This shift allowed me to embrace remote work while connecting with learners globally. With a friendly and adaptable approach, I prioritize creating engaging, personalized lessons that foster confidence in conversational Dutch. Outside of teaching, I take pride in my family life as a happily married professional who finds fulfillment in helping others achieve their language goals.
