Dutch grammar and practice skills in communication, listening, speaking.

Gain confidence in order to communicate serenely with:
your neighbors, your relatives and friends, your classmates, your colleagues and employers or your clients.

As an artist, I developed a particular and personalized method according to the students, which is based on the arts. I consider that the transmission of linguistic knowledge is an art form (the art of teaching, of transmitting and of sharing), and who says artist says authenticity, seriousness, meticulousness, but also relaxation, emotion and joy.

During the presentation (first contact), the student and I talk about their learning project, take stock of their goals and the plan to follow to achieve them according to my method. To achieve this, and if necessary, we reorganize them, restructure them to make them more tangible.

Because one of the criteria for learning a foreign language is to have a serious project, but it would be a handicap to take yourself too seriously. One thing is certain, to get up better you have to have fallen more than once.

To learn a language, you don't need rough discipline, which could be very frustrating and discouraging. The important thing is not only to learn to read and write, depending on the personal needs of each student, my method places emphasis on communication, dialogue, discussion, pronunciation, accent and self-confidence because this is what the student needs most when learning a foreign language. And in addition to the qualities of the teacher: Friendly, patient, relaxed and flexible, it is important and essential that the student is understood and taken seriously whatever their age and level, that we focus on their needs , its objectives, its progress, that we adapt at its own pace with interest and encouragement.

About Me

Hi there !

Passionate about languages and proficient in French, Dutch, and English trilingually, with French as my mother tongue, I possess strong competency in these three languages, acquired through my studies and growing up in the Netherlands. My desire to share my linguistic skills led me to undertake learning Indian sign language.

With over 10 years of professional experience, I have held various language-related roles, including private tutoring in languages. As a job coach and social assistant, I have also frequently acted as an interpreter, facilitating exchanges between French, Dutch, and English for various organizations, both in-person and remotely.

In 2006, I founded a foundation offering reintegration training to promote employment. My passion for travel has been reflected in my previous professional activities as a dance teacher and workshop facilitator for a diverse audience, from children to adults, in several countries, as well as in my passion for photography.

Since 2020, I have been working as an independent French-Dutch translator for a French company specializing in the manufacturing and distribution of high-quality paints on a European scale. I also offer personalized online Dutch language tutoring for individuals and professionals from various sectors, both individually and in groups, and offer my services as an interpreter. My rich pedagogical and linguistic experience enables me to address a wide range of audiences and meet various linguistic needs with professionalism and expertise.

Education

- Artist in different disciplines.
- Photography.
- Social work assistants (SWAs).

My education and training allowed me to develop a particular and personalized method according to my students, which is based on the arts, empathy, sympathy, communication, understanding, patience, listening, motivation, kindness, and affection. I consider the transmission of linguistic knowledge to be a form of art (the art of teaching, transmitting, and sharing), and who says artist says authenticity, seriousness, and meticulousness, but also relaxation, emotion, and joy.

Experience / Qualifications

Dutch grammar and practical skills in communication, listening, and speaking.

Dutch lessons at any level.
The most important thing for me is that we have fun while learning – that makes everything a lot more fun! In the lessons I am happy to help you with your questions about Dutch grammar and we can work together on your speaking, writing and/or listening skills. Do you have homework that you need help with? That is of course also possible! Let me know what level you are at now and what you would like to learn. I would love to challenge you, but make sure it is always fun and that you don't have too much at once. The prices stated are for a lesson for 1 person.

She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

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.

I am Flemish and lived in Liège for several years, now I live in Tongeren, a 20-minute drive from Liège. I offer you individual help in Dutch. Because every student is different, these courses are aimed at helping you learn Dutch in a way that you enjoy. To progress in the best way and to work effectively. This is to acquire and adapt an individual working method.

Learn Dutch, English or German. As preparation for an exam, because you want to travel, integrate or emigrate. I teach online.
If your Dutch, English or German could use some improvement, you want to learn one of these languages, prepare for an exam or learn one of these languages for any other reason, then you have come to the right place and these lessons are perfect. Depending on your own level, we first look together at what you specifically need and then the lessons are tailored to that. So it is no problem if you are a beginner or a bit more advanced in Dutch, English or German. The lessons will consist of grammar, idiom, spoken as well as written texts and of course you are expected to do homework so that the lessons run smoothly and you reach your goal as quickly as possible.

Carola
Dutch conversation for kids and adults, to read, to write and understand the language.
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.

Marcel
Dynamic Dutch courses with a smiling native speaker ;-)
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.

Rosemarie

Marcelo
Learn Dutch in a short time - experienced coach (24 years of experience) State Exam NT2 trainer - inspired to teach Dutch to expats
A qualified language coach with 24 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online. I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam. Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach. In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level). We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength! You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results. My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat. Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level. This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end. Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1 As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities. I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar. Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 24 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles. I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

Carolina
Teaching children until the age of 11 years old playfully Dutch
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.

Frederic
