Dutch and Flemish for all ages, tailored to your needs and taught in a fun way!

Dutch can be very stressful to learn because of its difficult grammar and many different accents. As a Belgian-born Dutch speaker who lived for 5 years in the Netherlands, I can teach you about all the different accents, pronunciations and I understand the hurdles of learning such a multi-faceted language. I have learned 5 languages myself now together with Latin and ancient Greek so I know exactly what it is like to struggle, to overcome low confidence, and the many pitfalls of learning a language.

Thus, I want to bring the Dutch language to you in an easy, fun, and accessible way tailored to your preferences and needs. Send me a message, tell me a little bit why you want to learn Dutch, who you are and we can set up a personalized program in a super friendly environment!

Cheers and tot later! See you later!

I think you are sweet and a gentle person. You are also flexible. You also adapt to the needs of many of the students. You also have an enthusiastic teacher.

Ashtanga Yoga can be daunting to try at first. It is known to be a powerful, strong type of yoga that is not very friendly to beginners or non-athletes. Nevertheless, I want to completely debunk that myth and take you through all the different asanas, step by step, tailored to your specific needs. I have worked in the past with people recovering from injuries such as a hernia or without knee ligaments, with people who haven't done sports in years as well as with professional dancers who just want to go a little deeper into a posture. Additionally, I have my 200HR Teacher Training Certificate endorsed by Manju Jois himself. I am happy to do a session as part of a series of private lessons, so I can understand what you want to improve or learn with Ashtanga, and how I can best help you with that. Unfortunately, for the moment I am only available online and not at my home location in Antwerp, Belgium.
Do you struggle with English? Do you need extra help with homework? Or do you need someone to help you get your English on point for a sales pitch? You are at the right address. I am a native English-Dutch speaker, and have done my entire university career in English as well. Currently, I am getting certified to become a TEFL Teacher. As such, I can bring you the experience of having used English all my life and the skills of a teacher and an academic. Please do not hesitate to reach out! I always take one lesson to completely break down what you need and how exactly I can help you along the way.
Are you a student struggling with the correct use of English in your essays, presentations, or even your thesis? Let me help you bring it to the next level! This class is especially useful for: - Non-native speakers who want to look more professional in their use of the English language at university, work, or school. - Those who want to bring their company/start-up to a higher level and need better English skills in order to work with partners abroad, whether through e-mail, giving sales pitches, or by using the right words. - Those who need help with writing essays and their thesis, particularly those who struggle with the right vocabulary and sentence structure. - Students or business people relocating for university or a job in which the English language will be the standard and want to feel more confident in the usage of the language in these contexts.

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.

Together we will make a plan that fits your personal needs, whether they include exam preparation (Inburgering/Staatsexamen), being able to confidently hold (informal or formal) conversations with friends and coworkers, understanding grammar rules, being able to watch Dutch TV or anything else: I will help you get there! The lessons can be held online or on location in Amsterdam (and the surrounding area).

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.

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!

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.

Carolina
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 :)

I have built up extensive experience as a teacher of NT2 (Dutch as a second language) for foreigners and Turkish for adults at various language schools and companies.

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]
