Would you like to improve your Dutch step by step? I offer lessons based on a clear method, a smart plan, and a structured approach. Together, we will work towards your language goals — from your very first words to fluent, confident communication.

How I work:
During the lessons, I explain the theory in a clear and practical way.
We practice with digital exercises so you can apply what you learn immediately.
I give you homework to help you continue learning and make faster progress.

My approach by level:
A0 to A2
We focus on speaking, listening, building basic sentences, and simple grammar. I use visual materials and interactive exercises to make learning fun and effective.

B1
From B1 level, we start working with real texts. We read, understand, and discuss short articles and stories. You will learn to express your opinion and write more clearly.

B2
At B2, we dive deeper into the language. We work with more complex texts, refine your speaking and writing skills, and practice using Dutch with more nuance.

C1
C1 is the level of professional Dutch. We work with challenging texts, current topics, presentations, and debates. You will learn to express yourself fluently and naturally in every situation.

Why choose my lessons?
✔️ Clear structure and personal guidance
✔️ Active lessons with theory, exercises, and homework
✔️ Real and interesting texts from B1 level onwards
✔️ Focus on your personal goals and pace
✔️ A motivating and safe learning environment

About Me
My name is Romina. My country of birth is Belgium and born in the Dutch-speaking part of Flanders.
I first graduated as a social-cultural worker and did an internship in Ireland for six months. This has greatly improved my speaking skills in English. Then I decided to combine studying and working. So I chose both an education and a job as a teacher. There is a huge shortage of teachers in the big cities in Belgium, so I could start right away.
Now I live on Crete and a job in standard education is not possible, because I do not (yet) master the Greek language. I chose to use my qualities and my experiences for teaching online to people who want to learn Dutch.
Education
I am the proud owner of two bachelor's degrees. My first diploma remarkable I in 2012: bachelor social-cultural work. The bachelor primary education I finished in 2014.
Experience / Qualifications
I have ten years of experience in primary education, mainly in Brussels.
For the last 3 years I have been teaching Dutch online to children and adults.

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!

Some Reviews:

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.

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
