Dutch Language, Culture, Tutoring and Test Preparation

From 39 C$ /h

This class is to help those studying Dutch at various levels. I'm currently a student of Modern Languages at university, and I was brought up in the Netherlands and have studied it to a high level of fluency.

The focus of this class is to improve fluency in a friendly and relaxing setting, as well as improving technical aspects like grammar at the student's pace. All levels are welcome from absolute beginner to advanced. My goal is to get students to reach a high level of language without feeling pressured or overworked, and to get them comfortable in using the language with native speakers in everyday settings.

About Me

I am currently a student studying Modern Languages, namely Spanish, German and Dutch.

I have been interested in teaching for a long time and I am currently a Language Ambassador with my university. What this means is that I go into schools and talk with children and teenagers about the importance of language learning, as well as devising lesson plans and activities to help them with their language development.

As a teacher I try to get my students to relax as much as possible and learn languages with little pressure. Homework can be set if the student requires it. I try to tailor lessons to each student's individual need and requirement so that they can achieve their linguistic goals at their pace.

I am also saving up for my TEFL qualification, which I hope to achieve next year.

Want to improve your English? Tutoring and advice for students.

Through this class I hope to help strengthen and refine the student's English skills. This class will be flexible and catered to the student's needs, whether that be test preparation, grammar, CV help or just general chats to improve your English!

I am a native English speaker looking for more experience teaching and tutoring before I start by TEFL course. This course will be challenging and vary according to the student, but a typical class will consist of a chat, followed by a grammar topic, followed by a pre-set homework assignment discussion. Example of homework may be to write a short essay, or to read an article. All levels welcome!

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!

If your child can use some extra support with, for example, counting, (reading) reading or writing, I would like to offer my help.

I have been giving tutoring to children of different ages for a few years now. I also have a lot of experience as a babysitter and as an au pair, so I'm used to working with children and helping them get ahead and helping them see how much they can actually do!

At the moment, I only have time available on weekdays in the morning or early afternoon, for which I have lowered the rate.

*All key aspects of the language will be addressed including cultural aspects/linguistic differences.
* Whether a quick learner or not; it will be fun and comprehensible. There is a goal to achieve and it will be done.

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.

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.

The 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.

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。
