Improve your Dutch - Verbeter je Nederlands! Aangepast aan jouw wensen. Tailored to your needs.
I like to keep it varied - a fun lesson but with loads of grammar improvement, vocabulary but also games to consolidate these. Lessons are tailor-made to what you want. I use several books and methods to make your lesson topnotch. I teach online via Zoom or here in my home. Every lesson of 50 min I sent all details home so you can revise what we have done and you can see your homework.
I am a Certified Teacher of Dutch as an Additional Language and I have a University Degree in teaching Dutch Language and Literature from Leiden University. I have specialized in teaching Dutch as a Second Language at Hogeschool Amsterdam.
I have lived abroad for 17 years so know a lot of living abroad. Having been an expatriate myself I like teaching people from other cultures. I speak good English and have some understanding of German, French and Spanish.
I have been teaching Dutch since 1995 in the States - in Iowa - and since 2016 in Leiden - when I came back from living in Scotland, South East Asia and the States - in my own little company Doses of Dutch. Since 2019 I teach two groups of students in Wassenaar for four mornings a week as well.
Usually people buy a package of ten lessons.

Dutch lessons, at different levels. Both group and private lessonsWelcome!
I teach Dutch (both for children, high school students and students)
Do you have difficulty with Dutch, do you want some extra explanation or prepare an oral together? Then you've come to the right place! It does not matter whether you are in the first year or whether you already have to take your final exam. I can help you in all areas of Dutch (reading, writing, spelling, grammar, literature). You are also welcome as a student. For example for writing advice, setting up research etc.
You are welcome at my home, send me an e-mail and we can get started in the short term.
Joost
Be taught in Dutch speaking, grammar and spelling exercises and writing.This class, specifically, is for people who are not native Dutch speakers and wish to sharpen their skills. The level you are on now does not matter, if anything, the less you know the more room there is for improvement!
I have been tutoring and teaching Dutch for quite some time and have therefore gained a significant amount of experience. I am very much willing to take the time and make you grow step by step. Or, if by any chance, you need one-time help with for example an assignment then this is fine too!
Soukaina
English and Dutch teacher for children under 17 years oldEnglish is a world language and therefore very important to learn for your child's future. Learning it at a young age will benefit him or her greatly in areas such as work and school, but also in the area of traveling and making international friends.
If your child still has difficulty speaking Dutch, I can also help with that.
Liesbet
Persian lessons / Dutch lessons for non-native speakers and (non-native) childrenAs non-Dutch speaking parents, it is certainly not easy to teach your children Dutch or help them become more fluent in the new language. Who wants some extra exercise for their kids? I would like to help you with that. As their vocabulary expands and their sentences become more fluent, your children will become more confident. A good command of the Dutch language is certainly to their advantage, both now and in the future.
Do your children need some help with their homework, especially with their Dutch, then I can help with that.
Even as non-native-speaking adults, it is sometimes difficult to have enough exercise. That is why adults who want to make progress in speaking the Dutch language are welcome here! We can practice the everyday language together. Conversing is the best way to learn a new language.
Anyone want to learn Persian? Then I am here to help you with that. Here too, I mainly work on communication.

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.
Florence
Secondary teacher, bilingual FR-NL and graduated in interpretation gives private lessons in Dutch and EnglishThe methodology chosen for my private lessons adapts to the specific needs of the student, from the youngest (learning to read) to the most experienced: preparation for an exam, a trip abroad, a reorientation professional, ... the courses can vary from a conversation table to a more academic structure emphasizing grammar, conjugation and vocabulary, or still be based on the theme of a particular professional sector.

Stefan
Dutch: Easy and effortless, adapted to your needs!As a certified teacher and native Dutch speaker, I offer private lessons tailored to your specific needs and interests. Whether you want to improve your Dutch for work, feel more at ease in social situations, or dive into Dutch literature in the original language, I’ll help you get there with lessons built around your goals.
I also offer support with exam preparation and general study guidance. Our sessions will include a variety of learning methods—such as reading texts, doing exercises, listening to audio, and practicing real-life conversation. Grammar will always serve a purpose: helping you use the language confidently and naturally, without getting bogged down in rules.
Language is a tool to communicate, and I believe your lessons should reflect that. So whatever your motivation, that’s what we’ll work toward—together.
I speak English at C2 level (IELTS certified) and conversational French and German. I’m happy to explain grammar and concepts in any of these languages if that’s helpful to you.
