Learn Dutch 1 - Learning Dutch language and cultural background
course price icon
From 42 C$ /h
arrow icon
This course is for those who want to learn Dutch without knowing a word. My method consists of adapting to the didactic needs of the student. We do not only learn the language, but also aspects of the Dutch-speaking culture can be integrated into the lessons, like fragments of films, podcasts etc. The goal is to learn the basics of the language, such as pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, etc. in a fun context, so as not to overload the student.

Let's make learning a new language fun together!

I am an enthusiastic teacher with a university degree and 25 years of experience in the Netherlands. I offer Dutch and Turkish lessons for beginners and advanced students. I was born and raised in Turkey. I have gained extensive experience at various language schools and companies as:
- Teacher NT2 (Dutch as a second language) for foreigners 🇳🇱
- Turkish teacher for adults and children 🇹🇷
- Teacher of integration courses and training for the integration exam

Lessons are also offered in English. 🇬🇧

The teaching material is sent digitally and is included in the lesson fee.

Hopefully see you soon! Yakında görüşürüz! Hope to see you soon!

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 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.

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.

Teaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

I teach conversational Dutch and help with A2 inburgering exam prep for expats and internationals, fully online.

Lessons are structured around your level and goals, whether you're a complete beginner, preparing for the inburgering exam, or already speak some Dutch and want to build confidence and fluency. Each lesson builds on the last, so progress is measurable.

I use my own teaching materials, focused on real, everyday Dutch instead of outdated textbook Dutch. I speak ABN (standard Dutch) and cover all the important everyday topics. Every lesson comes with homework, so progress continues between sessions.

Depending on the student's level, the objectives to be achieved, but also their strengths and weaknesses, we establish a working method together.
Most often, the lesson focuses on identifying and clarifying grammar points that need review (inversion, enjambment, tenses, agreement, Dutch syntax, etc.), and on practice exercises. I also frequently assign small homework assignments for the following lesson, as language learning requires consistent effort.
If possible, we end the lesson with a short conversation on the topic of the day.
