Personalized Dutch classes with a native Dutch instructor

Àpd 242.14 CNY /h

Hi! I’m Femke, and I give personalized Dutch classes tailored to your goals – whether you need Dutch for study, work, travel, or just because you love learning new languages.

Although our main focus will be Dutch, I also speak English, French, Spanish, and German. That means I can explain tricky grammar points in a way that makes sense to you, and I understand what it’s like to learn a language from scratch. As a passionate language learner myself, I know the challenges, the frustrations, and—most importantly—the excitement when things start to click.

My lessons are interactive, practical, and always adapted to your needs. I’ll help you grow your confidence step by step, so you don’t just learn rules, but actually feel comfortable speaking and using Dutch in real life. Before you know it, you’ll be surprised at how much you can understand and how easily you can express yourself.

Whether you’re aiming for fluency, preparing for an exam, or just want to practice conversation, I’m here to guide you on your journey—and to make it fun along the way.

Présentation

✨ About Me ✨

Hi! I’m Femke, a native Dutch speaker from the Netherlands. I’m 30 years old, living on a farm with my husband and our two young daughters. I studied European Studies, Intercultural Communication, and Globalization, and I’ve always been passionate about languages and cultures. Besides Dutch, I speak English, French, Spanish, and German, and I know some Arabic too.

I love teaching, traveling, singing, painting, swimming, being outdoors, and making jewelry with crystals. I’ve taught students from all over the world and truly enjoy helping people reach their goals while keeping lessons fun and personal.

Education

I studied French Teacher Training and European Studies in the Netherlands, and later completed a master’s in Intercultural Communication and Globalization in Mexico. During my studies I also focused on Spanish, English, French, and German, and gained some knowledge of Arabic.

Expérience / Qualifications

I’ve been teaching Dutch for over 4 years to people of all ages and backgrounds. From students preparing for exams to professionals needing Dutch for work, and newcomers wanting to feel at home in the Netherlands—I’ve helped many learners reach their personal goals. My focus is always on creating a supportive, motivating environment where you can grow step by step and feel confident using Dutch in real life.

I am originally from Flanders, Hasselt, and lived in Liège for a few years, now I live in Tongeren, a 20-minute drive from Liège.

I offer you individual help in Dutch.

Because every student is different, these courses are aimed at helping you learn Dutch in a way that you enjoy. To progress in the best way and to work effectively. This is to acquire and adapt an individual working method.

Dutch is my mother tongue, I am Dutch and I suggest you improve your level of Dutch by focusing on conversation - pronunciation - learning to express yourself well - convincing shyness to speak. Of course also academic support - explanation of grammar - reading and understanding texts - writing and editing. Preparing for job interviews, raising the level of Dutch for professional use to a higher level, working with university students to prepare for their Dutch exams etc etc. I adapt my lessons to the needs of each student. With advanced students we discuss the news based on newspaper articles.
I speak fluent French, English, and Italian. I am a lawyer by training with 30 years of experience in international business. The ultimate goal of my lessons: to love Dutch and prepare for your future!

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.

World traveler, I have lived in Thailand, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, US, Switzerland and many more countries, where I both dtudies and worked as a legal advisor.

I have been tutoring since 2017, both in person, in schools and online, since 2017, I have been working with around 250 students, located everywhere in the world! Here is an overview of my previous tutoring experience:

Online tutoring on Apprentus, (approx 12h/week).

2023:
Tutor of Dutch at Varady Language school in Geneva

2021-2022:
I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught French, Dutch, and English to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus.

2021:
Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as Maths and French.

2017-2020:
I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught French, Mathematics, and English.

During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework.

I can teach French, Dutch, and English, Spanish and in German, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills.

As a person, I am flexible, calm, and positive.

The methodology chosen for my private lessons adapts to the specific needs of the student, from the youngest (learning to read) to the most experienced: preparation for an exam, a trip abroad, a reorientation professional, ... the courses can vary from a conversation table to a more academic structure emphasizing grammar, conjugation and vocabulary, or still be based on the theme of a particular professional sector.

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".

Each lesson is personalized according to your level, needs, and goals. Whether you want to improve your Dutch for work, school, travel, or moving to Belgium or the Netherlands, I will create a clear learning plan that suits you.

My teaching style is friendly, patient, and supportive — I believe learning a language should be enjoyable and stress-free. We will use interactive exercises, short dialogues, games, and real-life examples to make every class dynamic and effective.

By the end of each lesson, you’ll feel more confident using Dutch in real conversations.
