Cosy private lessons for everybody
I try to make my online lessons as cosy as possible. I use the video-conference system, so I can see my students and they can see me; we can talk, we make the exercises together, I explain all the grammar, and if my students have any doubt or questions, I explain it orally which I think makes it easier to be understood.

It is as if we were sitting in an office side by side. The only thing we cannot do is drinking a coffee while we study.

Besides the lessons, I always send some homework. I will send a book that we follow, and the rest of the material is sent by me by e-mail as well.

As soon as it is possible, I advise my students to start reading books in the language they learn, and from the very beginning to start listening to the TV. It is a way of being surrounded by the language.

I always insist a lot on the accent, and this helps. I have students with a perfect accent. Listening to the language also helps to open the hears to the sounds, making easier to understand. From the very beginning I also start with small conversations in each lesson.

You may believe that all my students are being very successful with this kind of lessons. I have now students from all over the world. Concerning the level my students attain, ofcourse it depends on them.

Together we see what your needs are and how fast you want to learn.

As for the number of lessons per week, I advise that you should have at least two. Less than two is very little and you have a long break between lessons. It is bad because you don't have any contact with the language and feel that you are advancing very slowly.

We can also have lessons in the weekend if that is easier for you.

Extra information

Easy learning online. You only need a laptop and internetconnection.
And motivation :-)

Let's make learning a new language fun together!

I am an enthusiastic teacher with a university degree and 25 years of experience in the Netherlands. I offer Dutch and Turkish lessons for beginners and advanced students. I was born and raised in Turkey. I have gained extensive experience at various language schools and companies as:
- Teacher NT2 (Dutch as a second language) for foreigners 🇳🇱
- Turkish teacher for adults and children 🇹🇷
- Teacher of integration courses and training for the integration exam

Lessons are also offered in English. 🇬🇧

The teaching material is sent digitally and is included in the lesson fee.

Hopefully see you soon! Yakında görüşürüz! Hope to see you soon!

A qualified language coach with 25 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.

I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.

In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).

We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.

My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.

Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.

This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.

I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 25 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.

I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

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.

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.

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

Dutch lessons are practical and interactive. You'll learn grammar and vocabulary step by step, with exercises you can immediately apply in work, school, and everyday life. The focus is on communicating clearly, enjoying learning, and building self-confidence.

1. You'll learn the basics of Spanish in an interactive and practical way. This prepares you for a trip to Spain or Latin America, where I've traveled, worked, and lived extensively. Through my experience, I know which phrases, words, and sayings are frequently used. A complete preparation! (Very useful for school, too.)

2. You'll learn to improve your basic Spanish. We'll work on common mistakes by role-playing conversations in various settings. This is done in a lighthearted and informal way, with a strict focus on the content of your Spanish. (Useful for school and work)
