About Me

Bonjour à tous! Hello everyone!
Being born in Belgium, I grew up in a multilingual (French / Dutch) context. Early on at school I already discovered my interest in language and culture which grew out to a passion for language, food and travel.
Me as a Teacher
I've been a teacher for 7 years now. I gathered my theoretical knowledge during my academic education (Master of Arts in Linguistics and Literature French / Spanish). However, it is mostly my practical experience which allows me to provide practical and hands-on tutoring (Specific Teacher Training in Languages and 6 years of experience as a French teacher).
The most attractive quality of (online) tutoring is the fact that I can teach goal oriented, in function of the specific needs of the student. I offer interactive lessons. Based on my experience with students of different ages and different levels of language proficiency, I'm able to offer a variety of exercises in different aspects of the language skills: oral, written (both active and passive). I use a wide range of authentic resources (audio / video / texts) to encourage your participation and progression. The most important to me is to make you speak as naturally and confidently as possible.

I provide lessons for the Nt2 Staatsexamen and Dutch Nationalisation exam (Inburgering examen)and Business Dutch for ex-pats and people who want to learn everyday Dutch. In the citizenship exam course, students learn about history, geography and basic vocabulary which are the contents of the exam. They learn how to respond to basic questions. Besides preparatory lessons for (Inburgering examen ,citizenship exam ,I teach Business Dutch( Zakelijk Nederlands) to expats. Online lessons are delivered through Google meet and Ms Teams and other online platforms. The lessons are conducted online as well as at a location in The Hague. Both private and group lessons are available.

I take pride in saying that all my students who I prepared for Dutch exams passed their exams with high scores:)

I teach Dutch, adapted to the level and wishes of the student. The lessons can be given entirely in Dutch or with explanation in English.
If you send me a message, we can go through the options together.

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.
* Whether learning a language to improve your career, for travel or even romantic reasons, help is at hand - just reach out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hoi! Ik ben een 17-jarige tweetalige student uit Spanje en spreek vloeiend Nederlands en Engels. Ik zit in mijn laatste jaar van mijn A-levels (VWO) en heb mijn IGCSE’s al afgerond op een britse school. Hierna wil ik graag een opleiding tot leraar volgen.

Ik geef online Engelse lessen aan kinderen op basisschoolniveau. Ik kan helpen met spreken, lezen, woordenschat, uitspraak, grammatica en Engels voor school. Ik kan de lessen in het Engels geven en waar nodig in het Nederlands uitleggen.

Mijn lessen zijn ontspannen en aangepast aan het niveau en de leeftijd van ieder kind. Ik wil Engels vooral leuk maken en kinderen helpen om meer zelfvertrouwen te krijgen. 😊

**English**

Hi! I’m a 17-year-old bilingual student living in Spain, and I speak fluent Dutch and English. I’m currently in my final year of A-levels and have already completed my IGCSEs at a british school. After school, I would like to study to become a teacher.

I offer online English lessons for primary-school children. I can help with speaking, reading, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and school English. Lessons can be taught in English, with explanations in Dutch when needed.

My lessons are relaxed and adapted to each child’s age and level. I want to make learning English enjoyable and help children become more confident. 😊
