My experience, particularly in recent years, has primarily been in teaching children in special education. Consequently, I have a patient attitude and I assign tasks appropriate to the participant's level. My approach focuses on creating a safe, pleasant, and positive learning environment.
Both children and adults are very welcome at my place!

My lessons are varied and can be adapted to your own level, goals, and wishes. Do you want to focus on reading comprehension, conversation in everyday situations, correct writing, and spelling? It is all possible.
I like to use practical examples, and in the case of children, I can incorporate singing where desired.

Let me know what your needs are, and we will figure it out together.

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.

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.

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.

Explanation lesson
These Dutch lessons are practical and interactive, focusing on grammar, vocabulary, and real-life situations. You'll learn step by step and immediately apply the language in school, work, and everyday life.
It really is the best way to master the Dutch language.

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.

Hi! Ready to learn Dutch? I help expats and newcomers learn real, everyday Dutch: the language you use at the supermarket, at work and with your neighbours. Whether you're settling in here, preparing for the inburgering exam or the MVV basisexamen, we'll build your speaking and listening step by step, at your own pace. Lessons are relaxed and practical: mostly in Dutch, with English whenever you need it. Complete beginners are very welcome. See you soon!

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.
