Fun – Adequate time – Progress – Interesting Subjects – Your hobbies or fields of interest
Those are crucial points for my lessons. Both teacher and student want results, and practice proves that individual attention and a personal plan for the student work best.
During the intake lesson we will discuss your wishes, why you want to learn Dutch, and very importantly, assess your current level in order to draw up an individual lesson plan. And of course we will also look at your learning style preferences, because this varies per student.
I have years of experience as a teacher of English, and as a teacher of Dutch at Berlitz and Serasta Trainingen in Vlaardingen.

Présentation

Ben jij enthousiast om een (nieuwe) taal te leren? Dan ben je bij mij aan het juiste adres!
Want ik vind lesgeven het leukste wat er is. Wanneer jij als leerling of student iets begrijpt nadat je daar misschien wel heel veel moeite mee had, dan ben ik superblij!
Ik maak vaak gebruik van niet alledaags lesmateriaal. Bijvoorbeeld podcasts (en er zijn er genoeg te vinden die bij jouw interesses aansluiten), of korte films of een leuke leestekst. Want leren moet leuk zijn en blijven.
Zo heb ik al veel volwassenen geholpen om over hun ´angstdrempel´ heen te komen wanneer zij in het Engels bijvoorbeeld op hun werk een presentatie moeten geven.
Maar ook jongeren zijn van harte welkom. Samen kijken we naar wat jij nodig hebt, en hoe we de lessen kunnen gaan invullen.
En heb je een dag dat het allemaal niet zo lekker loopt? Geen probleem, dan verplaatsen we de les naar een andere dag.

Certified English teacher - speaking, listening, writing and reading skills: for all levels, including adults!

50.39 $ /h

Fun – Sufficient Time – Progress – Fun Topics – Your Interests –
Those are the main points of my lessons. Both teacher and student want results, and practice proves that individual attention and a personalized lesson plan work best.
During the introductory meeting we will first discuss your wishes, what English is needed for, interests, and very importantly, your current level in order to draw up a lesson plan. And of course we also look at preferences regarding teaching style, because this can differ per student.

After my studies as a Second Degree English teacher, I enjoyed teaching for a number of years.
I was also co-owner of my own translation/text agency Dutch/English and English/Dutch.

I continued my translation work from various English-speaking countries. I lived and worked in Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia, where I learned to speak English like the locals.

During my long time abroad I followed various studies, including in the field of music, linguistics and animals (especially horses).

After many years abroad, I returned to the Netherlands in 2017 and now enjoy teaching English (online).

Because I have lived in various English-speaking countries for almost 30 years, my English is exceptionally good. I have learned a bit of culture from each country and of course also some local pronunciation, and when I cheerfully greet you with a G'day mate! then that might be the first Australian expression you hear. But of course you first learn 'proper English', so that everyone can understand you!

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!

* Whether a quick learner or not; it will be fun and comprehensible. There is a goal to achieve and it will be done.
* Whether learning a language to improve your career, for travel or even romantic reasons, help is at hand - just reach out.

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.

I am a Belgian (Flemish) and French student with a Masters in International Public Law (Amsterdam) and a Masters in Global development (University of Copenhagen). 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:

2022-Now:
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.

I am excited to meet you and look forward to working with you!

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".
