Teaching Dutch from a cultural and creative perspective!

Von 34.54 Fr /Std

Moving to a new country can be hard (having lived in Spain, I know the feeling). Let me support you in learning Dutch as well as finding your way to integrate in the Netherlands. As a cultural anthropologist, I am trained to build bridges between cultures, and I approach differences with curiosity. We will design a learning pathway fully tailored to your needs. I like to use your favorite hobbies as a guideline for the classes: let's make music or play games while your learn Dutch!

Über mich

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.

This course is aimed at learners with intermediate knowledge of Mandarin who wish to further develop their oral expression, writing and reading comprehension skills.

Together we will talk, read, and write about everyday and current topics (from studying, work, and travel to social media and Chinese culture). You will learn to conduct conversations more fluently, write clearly structured texts, and better understand authentic materials (articles, short essays, stories).

In class, we work with dialogues, role-playing, discussions, writing assignments with individual feedback, and reading strategies. In doing so, we discover Mandarin as the most widely spoken language in the world and as a language with a great future in both professional and everyday life.

The course is intended for participants aged 18 and over.
