I have extensive experience teaching Russian as a foreign language.
I also teach the first two levels of Dutch (A1–A2) for non-native speakers.
Ukrainian is also my native language, and I decided that I should teach it as well, just like my other languages.
My lessons are structured, clear, and adapted to the needs of each student. I enjoy working with beginners and helping them build a solid foundation in any of these languages.

In my introductory lesson, I focus on the Russian alphabet and help you step by step to recognize letters and pronounce them correctly. You will immediately learn to read your first Russian words, so you see progress quickly.

My approach is simple, clear, and suitable for absolute beginners.

After this lesson, you will already be able to read simple words in Russian independently!

Personal approach
My motto is not only to teach language, but also make Russians closer to people of other cultures and languages by showing and researching rich Russian history, culture, humor and character. That is why I’m using press, everyday life stories and cases in addition to academic text books and methods. My journalistic and communication background together with education helps me to reach this goal.

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.

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.
