Dutch as a foreign language. Tailored approach. Online lessons according to your needs+ free PPT & audio recording each lesson!

Hi,

I'm Katleen and my mother tongue is Dutch. I have been teaching Dutch as a foreign language since 2000. About me, my language & teaching skills:
I have a Master’s Degree in Applied Linguistics, specializing in Translation English/Spanish and a Teaching Degree as well as a NLP Coach Degree. I was born in Belgium but I grew up in Amsterdam so I'm very familiar with both Flemish and Dutch culture. I can teach you Dutch with a tailored approach, according to your personal and/or professional needs. You’ll learn how to speak proper Dutch and will be able to communicate with Dutch speakers from Flanders and The Netherlands and elsewhere. Get ready to step into the fascinating world of the Dutch-speaking communities. You’ll see it’s so much fun to learn Dutch! Types of foreign speakers I have been teaching Dutch to: business people, actors, higher education and secondary school students, doctors, job seekers, you (?)...

See you soon for some Dutch on Zoom!
Best Regards,
Katleen

PS: Je parle aussi le français. Si vous désirez apprendre le néerlandais en ligne avec moi, n’hésitez pas à me contacter via cette platforme.
A bientôt pour le néerlandais sur Zoom! También hablo el castellano, !Hasta pronto para el neerlandés (holandés) en Zoom!

Extra information

You'll need preferably two screens such as a laptop & tablet, laptop & laptop or laptop & pc. Make sure video and audio are working for each of these devices. Recommended are paper or online dictionaries English/Dutch & Dutch/English (eg. Van Dale) and online language tools (eg. Reverso Context). Zoom lessons are given per individual student. Prior to each online lesson, you’ll receive a free PowerPoint presentation with a tailored made lesson. After each lesson, you’ll receive a free personalised audio recording of the lesson itself. Example of an online lesson (for an intermediate level): we will watch a short video (with Dutch subtitles) about a relevant subject, discuss vocabulary and verbs, talk about your opinion, improve your pronunciation, see some grammar, etc.
Students can purchase a highly recommended and recent text and work book for Dutch which can be used during the online lessons. This is of course not compulsory but certainly a must if you plan to book more than 5 lessons. If interested, you can order these books online after our first lesson.

She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

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.

Marcel
Dynamic Dutch courses with a smiling native speaker ;-)
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.

Carola
Dutch conversation for kids and adults, to read, to write and understand the language.
In our class we will be relaxed, I will help you with the Dutch conversation, the grammar, reading (like an article or a topic what I will give you). I will help students for beginners-lower-intermediate level. After every lesson I will give you homework for the next lesson. Between the two lessons you can always ask me a question about the subject what we’ve discussed. If you have a subject what you’d like to learn about the Dutch language, let me know. I’m looking forward to see you in my class.

Dutch lessons for adults, teenagers and children, fully adapted to the needs of a student!
Hello everyone, in my class it is first of all important that the student feels comfortable! We will therefore first get to know each other better and you as a student can then tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. From there we draw up a schedule and step by step ensure that you as a student master the Dutch language. Some of you will come to me because it is necessary, for example an integration exam, some of you will come because they are going to work temporarily in the Netherlands, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My classes are tailored to your wishes so that you will feel truly comfortable. From young to adult students, I enjoy teaching all over the world. I hope to have made you curious and to meet and welcome you in my class :)

Irma
Dutch lessons at any level.
First of all, I think it is important that we have fun while learning. After all, that makes learning much more fun! In the lessons I am happy to help you with your grammatical questions about Dutch. We can also work on your speaking, writing and/or listening skills. Do you want help with your homework assignments? This is certainly possible! I would like to hear at what level you master the language and what you would like to learn. I like to challenge you but don't want to overwhelm you. The price for the lesson is for 1 person.

Enthusiastic teacher with a university degree and 20 years of work experience in the Netherlands offers Dutch and Turkish lessons for beginners and advanced students. I was born and raised in Turkey.

Astrid
Dutch lessons for young professionals as well as academic/university support
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!

Ronald
NT2 and/or Dutch (possibly support for your thesis - I have two titles: MA and MEd). I was '(Nova) teacher of the year (2019)'.
Dutch? Just say it ... preparation exams? Fine. Do you want to know about spelling? Just ask. Larger vocabulary? Practice speaking/presenting? Grammar? Naturally. I teach and teach (semi) illiterates and academics, and I feel at home with all of them. Feedback from a student (non-Apprentus): "Hi Ronald I will miss our wonderful lessons so much [...]. You teach in such a warm and pleasant way, I enjoyed every second of it. [...] Thank you for this educational time and the nice words I received from you. Yours sincerely" [name known]
