Conversational English & Communication Skills – Native Teacher with 18+ Years of Experience

Hello! I am a native English teacher with over 18 years of experience helping students and professionals develop confident, natural, and effective spoken English. My lessons focus on real communication, not textbooks or memorized phrases. Whether you need English for work, travel, social situations, or international environments, I help you speak clearly and comfortably in real-life conversations.

I work with learners at all levels, from beginners who want to start speaking English, to advanced speakers who want to sound more fluent, natural, and professional. My approach is practical, supportive, and results-oriented, with a strong focus on speaking, listening, and interaction.

Focus on Real-Life Communication
My conversation classes are designed to help you communicate naturally and confidently in both everyday and professional situations. Lessons are built around realistic, real-life scenarios, from casual conversations and social interactions to travel and daily communication. We also work on workplace communication, including meetings, phone and video calls, teamwork, and giving or receiving feedback, as well as more formal professional situations such as presentations, interviews, negotiations, and networking. Special attention is given to cross-cultural communication, helping you feel comfortable and confident in international environments. Throughout the lessons, you will learn how to express your ideas clearly, react spontaneously, ask questions naturally, and maintain smooth, engaging conversations in English.

Communication Skills Development
In addition to conversation practice, I focus on helping you develop the communication skills that are essential for speaking English effectively and confidently. We work on improving fluency and reducing hesitation so you can speak more smoothly and naturally. You will expand your practical vocabulary and learn natural expressions that native speakers actually use, while also refining your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. A key part of my approach is building confidence and reducing the fear of making mistakes, allowing you to speak more freely. I also help you structure your ideas clearly and coherently when speaking, so your message is easy to follow. Throughout the lessons, I provide continuous feedback and gentle correction, always aiming to help you sound natural while maintaining accuracy.

Personalized Lessons – Tailored to You
Each student is different, which is why every course is fully personalized. At the beginning, I assess your level, goals, and communication challenges, then design a learning plan adapted to your needs. Whether you want to improve social English, professional communication, or overall speaking confidence, lessons are structured around your objectives.

Topics, pace, and activities are adjusted regularly to ensure steady progress and motivation.

What You Can Expect from My Conversation Classes?
* Speaking-focused lessons with maximum student talk time
* Interactive role-plays and real-life scenarios
* Clear, constructive feedback on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation
* A supportive and relaxed learning environment
* Flexible online lessons adapted to your schedule

There is no pressure, no judgment, and no unnecessary theory—just effective practice that helps you speak English with confidence.

Who Are These Classes For?
* Professionals who need to communicate confidently at work
* Students and adults who want to improve spoken English
* Expats, travelers, and international professionals
* Learners who understand English but struggle to speak fluently
* Anyone who wants to sound more natural and confident in English

Whether your goal is to feel comfortable in everyday conversations, communicate effectively at work, or express yourself clearly in international settings, I will help you develop the speaking skills you need.

Let’s work together to make English feel natural, confident, and truly usable in your daily and professional life.

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.

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.

Hello, my name is Lucie and I would be delighted to help you learn English, either from scratch or to improve your knowledge. I love getting my students to speak since I think practice is the secret to learning a language and improving your knowledge. I always structure my classes around real-life themes (how to introduce yourself, how to make an appointment, how to shop, how to go to the doctor, talk at work, etc). We will see grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation together. If you are intermediate, we will also do courses on texts. We will put both grammar and vocabulary into practice. Please note that all my classes are online (Skype or Google Meet).

Hello there!

Do you need help with IB or IGCSE Economics, English or Politics? Are teachers just not enough? Well then, let me help you!

My name is Lauend, a student pursuing a BSc in Political Science. I am an experienced tutor specializing in IB and IGCSE Economics, English, and Politics, with a strong academic background and a student-centred teaching approach.

Having completed both IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate, I understand these curricula from the inside—not just in terms of content, but in how examiners think, how mark schemes are structured, and where students commonly lose marks. This allows me to teach strategically, with a clear focus on exam performance, conceptual understanding, and long-term academic confidence.

I already have hands-on tutoring experience with students at different ability levels, ranging from those aiming to consolidate core knowledge to high-achievers targeting top grades. Each student receives a curated learning plan, adapted to their strengths, weaknesses, pace, and academic goals. I have taught and supported IGCSE and IB DP students at schools such as the Amsterdam International Community School and the Rotterdam International Secondary School.

Through my holistic, tailor-made tutoring for each student, I can help you not only achieve higher marks in IB and IGCSE, but also (and more importantly) understand and apply these subjects in the real world, a useful skill that will become increasingly valuable throughout life.

Whether you’re aiming to boost your grades, sharpen your essays, or finally feel confident walking into exams, I’m here to help make the process clearer, calmer, and more effective.
