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.

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 am a primary school teacher and can help with all language subjects, for both adults and children: Reading Comprehension, Language, Spelling, Reading, Vocabulary, English.

Based on your wishes I create my lessons, so that you gain self-confidence step by step in what you (still) find difficult. With games, puzzles, explanations, conversations and practice you will improve a little bit every day.

If you want to learn or improve your Dutch, we can work on that too. I live in France myself and know how difficult and enjoyable it is to learn another language.

If you want to learn or improve your Dutch, I can help you as well. I myself am Dutch and live in France, so I know speaking another language can be difficult and yet is fun!

Franco-British associate professor, author at CNED, 33 years of experience from middle school to scientific preparatory classes, supports you in the success of your project in English.

Refresher training, consolidation and in-depth study, training for exams, certifications and competitions or personal projects.

Here is a non-exhaustive sample of the services that I offer:

- themed conversation, coaching on professional situations...

Prior to the service, we will be able to...
- define needs and potential problems
- carry out a skills assessment based on the CEFR

The session is intended to be a linguistic and cultural immersion in English, based on a communication approach.

The approach is multimodal, based on authentic and current resources and uses all language activities to progress (oral and written expression, oral and written comprehension and mediation).

During the sessions, if necessary, learning resources will be provided to expand the vocabulary, recall certain language fundamentals or remind people of a point of methodology.

For certain services (such as oral exams), working documents may be provided in advance.

I offer tailored courses, in person or remotely, according to the needs of each student. For academic support, I adapt to the program followed by the child or adolescent, by deepening the concepts already covered, by re-explaining difficult points or by dissecting problematic themes.

For adults, I mainly teach the basics in Dutch, but I can adapt my lessons to different objectives. For example: learning the vocabulary for a new position, preparing for an exam (Selor, language certification), refreshing your knowledge before an interview, or improving your ability to communicate effectively in a professional or personal context. My approach is always flexible, student-centered, and aims to strengthen both understanding and self-confidence.
