Personalized Dutch classes with a native Dutch instructor

Von 27.73 Fr /Std

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.

Über mich

✨ 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.

Bildung

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.

Erfahrung / Qualifikationen

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 Dutch and I give private Dutch lessons online or at my home in Schaerbeek.
Learning consists of:
- learn to speak Dutch everyday.
- learning vocabulary used at work.
- help with school, primary and secondary homework

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.
