From 59.35 C$ /h

Are you looking for someone to just talk to? Or do you want to practice your Dutch or Persian in a natural and relaxed way, through real conversations? Then you are very welcome with me.

Whether you just want to talk to someone who will listen to you about everyday things or you want to improve your Persian or Dutch speaking skills, I will adapt to your needs.

Children who are raised bilingually can also come to me for playful and involved conversations that strengthen their sense of language. With patience and attention I connect with their world of experience.

I am patient, involved and speak fluent Persian, reasonable English and German, in addition to Dutch. Our conversations can therefore be tailored to your (or your) level and preference.

Please feel free to send a message if you have any questions or would like to schedule an introductory meeting.

About Me

I am Liesbet, I am a housewife and I am married to an Iranian man. I would like to help non-native speakers and (non-Dutch speaking) children with their Dutch. Most grammar does succeed, and the technical aspect of the language is usually well learned. But the conversation is missing, something can be done about it. More exercise ... just speak.
Because I have learned some new languages myself, I know that conversing is the best exercise ... with mistakes ... one can learn the most from it. So let's just practice by talking to each other via the webcam! And as a result, you or your children will quickly feel more confident, so that speaking will also become more fluent!

Persian lessons / Dutch lessons for non-native speakers and (non-native) children

59.35 C$ /h

As non-Dutch speaking parents, it is certainly not easy to teach your children Dutch or help them become more fluent in the new language. Who wants some extra exercise for their kids? I would like to help you with that. As their vocabulary expands and their sentences become more fluent, your children will become more confident. A good command of the Dutch language is certainly to their advantage, both now and in the future.

Do your children need some help with their homework, especially with their Dutch, then I can help with that.

Even as non-native-speaking adults, it is sometimes difficult to have enough exercise. That is why adults who want to make progress in speaking the Dutch language are welcome here! We can practice the everyday language together. Conversing is the best way to learn a new language.

Anyone want to learn Persian? Then I am here to help you with that. Here too, I mainly work on communication.

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 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.

Are you looking for a Farsi teacher? My name is Negar and I'm a native Persian(Farsi) speaker that loves languages a lot.
I teach Farsi in a creative and interesting way. In my class, you'll learn grammar and vocabulary together with conversations. We will practice all 4 skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and learn about Iranian culture.
My teaching style is communicative and task-based although it is adapted to the needs and rhythm of each student. If you want to learn Persian in an easy and authentic way, feel free to contact me :)

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.

I have noticed that some people are interested in my native language, and I find it truly admirable to have the courage to learn it, as it is a language that is both difficult and beautiful.
I would be more than happy to help you if you wish to practice Farsi!
During each session, we will try to discuss everyday topics in order to learn the language in a practical and useful way.
The method will focus on conversational Farsi, with the support of a supplementary book.

I offer Dutch lessons for all levels with flexible scheduling and reasonable rates for children and adults. Grammar, conversation, games, and vocabulary will be covered, along with online summaries at the end of each lesson. Together, we will define the learning objectives and pace according to your expectations and needs. I have also been providing academic support up to the 10th grade (immersion and non-immersion) for the past three years.

Dutch can sometimes be difficult: grammar, spelling, reading comprehension, summarizing, or writing good texts. In these tutoring sessions, I help students step by step to become stronger and more confident in the subject of Dutch.

The lessons are practical, clear, and tailored to the student's level and goals. Together, we work on grammar, vocabulary, spelling, writing skills, speaking skills, and reading comprehension. In addition, I pay attention to study skills, so that students not only achieve better grades but also learn to work more independently.

I use many examples, exercises, and active assignments to make the material understandable and applicable. Whether it concerns VMBO, HAVO, VWO, NT2, or general language proficiency: the lessons are tailored to what the student needs.

My goal is not only to understand Dutch better, but also to develop more enjoyment and confidence in language.
