Teaching children until the age of 11 years old playfully Dutch

From 63.51 C$ /h

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.

Extra information

For all the inimini students of the age of 3 or 4 years old, it would be handy if a parent is around ;)

Location

About Me

Hello everyone, I am a spontaneous teacher for children, teenagers and adults with a lot of experience, patience and humor.
My name is Carolina, born and raised in the Netherlands and I have worked abroad for many years. As a result, I have a lot of experience speaking in different languages and I know how difficult it can be sometimes. I followed an education at a ballet academy many years a go, but when I became a mother, I retrained. I have been teaching Dutch for years now. For 14 years, I have been commuting between 2 countries, the Netherlands and Turkey. I remarried and had to learn the Turkish language from scratch. To be honest, my Turkish could be better, but continuing to practice and try is the most important thing! So I can help you with that in Dutch lessons, in a relaxed and fun way. If you come to my class, you will experience how you can learn Dutch casually :)

Dutch lesson for teenagers & adults adjusted to your needs as a student!

63.51 C$ /h

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

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.

May 2026: In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students.

Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English.

My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual.

For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

I offer Dutch lessons adapted to beginners as well as to people who already have some basic knowledge.

I have a B2 level in Dutch, validated by a certificate of achievement, which allows me to teach the language in a clear, structured and accessible way.

The goal is to make learning simple, progressive and motivating, by advancing step by step on the essential basics of the language.

Each course is structured around:

- useful everyday vocabulary
- Grammar explained simply
- basic conjugation
- oral and written comprehension
- Conversation exercises to quickly gain fluency

I adapt to the pace and objectives of each student (school, work or personal learning), in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.

The goal is to progress effectively while gaining confidence in speaking.

Dutch can be a challenging language. Spelling, grammar, reading comprehension, writing, or speaking often cause insecurity in both children and adults. In my lessons, I help pupils and course participants step by step to gain more control, confidence, and enjoyment in the Dutch language.

I teach online lessons to:

- pupils in primary and secondary education (vmbo, havo and vwo);
- Dutch children living abroad;
- adults learning Dutch as a second language (NT2);
- students preparing for work, study, or emigration to the Netherlands.

The lessons can be taught entirely in Dutch, but if necessary, I also provide support in English, Spanish, or German. This allows non-native speakers to better understand grammar and language structures and make faster progress.

The lessons are practical, personal, and fully tailored to the goals of the student or learner. I use many examples, exercises, and active assignments so that the language becomes immediately applicable.

As a Dutch person living and working in Colombia, I have extensive experience with online education, multilingualism, and international students. My goal is not only better results, but above all more self-confidence and enjoyment of the Dutch language.

▸ Who I Work With?

This course is designed for forward-thinking parents who want more than just language drills for their children. It's ideal for:

- Teens and young learners (10-18 years old) who are curious about Chinese language and culture — from complete beginners to those with some basic foundation

- Teens (13-18 years old) who already have some basic Chinese foundation and are ready to go beyond the textbook
Curious young minds who are interested in design, technology, business, or world cultures

- Families planning for the future — parents who believe that understanding China will give their children a global advantage

- Self-motivated learners who want to explore Chinese culture, modern trends, and creative thinking, not just memorize vocabulary

If your child needs a strict, traditional tutor for exam preparation only, I might not be the right fit. But if you want them to be inspired, to think differently, and to see Chinese as a window to a bigger world — let's talk.

──────────────────

▸What You Can Expect?

Every lesson is built around sparking curiosity and building real-world skills:

- Cultural Storytelling — Instead of boring dialogues, I use stories from my work as a designer and filmmaker to bring Chinese culture to life. Your child will explore Chinese art, history, internet culture, and modern trends.

- Project-Based Learning — We'll work on mini-projects that match your child's interests. Whether it's designing a Chinese social media post, creating a short video script, or exploring a Chinese city through research, they'll learn by doing.

- Critical Thinking in Chinese — I encourage students to ask questions, share opinions, and make connections between Chinese culture and their own world. This isn't about repeating after me — it's about thinking in Chinese.

- Flexible & Pressure-Free — No harsh drills, no rote memorization. I create a relaxed, encouraging space where your child feels safe to make mistakes and grow.

- HSK/YCT Preparation Support — For students interested in Chinese proficiency tests, I weave HSK/YCT content into our cultural exploration, building exam confidence alongside genuine curiosity.

──────────────────

▸Teaching Style

As someone who's worked in creative industries for years, I know that the best learning happens when you're genuinely interested. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and conversational.

I don't talk down to young learners — I talk with them. I listen to their ideas, ask questions that make them think, and help them discover their own voice in Chinese. Parents often tell me that their children look forward to my lessons not because they "have to", but because they're genuinely curious about what we'll explore next.

In today’s globalized world, speaking multiple languages is an important advantage for academic success, international careers, travel, and cultural exchange. English, German, and Dutch are among the most valuable languages for communication in Europe and around the world, opening doors to professional opportunities, higher education, and meaningful connections across different cultures.
English, Dutch and German are, for example the most sought after in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and other European countries and are positioned as the strongest asset on the job market.

My personalized language classes are designed for students of all levels, from beginners to advanced learners. The lessons are adapted to each student’s goals, whether for daily conversation, professional communication, exam preparation, relocation, travel, or academic improvement.

Students will develop essential language skills including speaking, listening, reading, writing, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. The classes focus on practical communication and confidence-building through interactive exercises, real-life situations, conversation practice.

My teaching approach is supportive, dynamic, and student-centered, creating a comfortable learning environment where each student can progress at their own pace while developing fluency and confidence in the language they choose to learn.
