I have extensive experience teaching Russian as a foreign language.
I also teach the first two levels of Dutch (A1–A2) for non-native speakers.
Ukrainian is also my native language, and I decided that I should teach it as well, just like my other languages.
My lessons are structured, clear, and adapted to the needs of each student. I enjoy working with beginners and helping them build a solid foundation in any of these languages.

In my introductory lesson, I focus on the Russian alphabet and help you step by step to recognize letters and pronounce them correctly. You will immediately learn to read your first Russian words, so you see progress quickly.

My approach is simple, clear, and suitable for absolute beginners.

After this lesson, you will already be able to read simple words in Russian independently!

I would like to teach you to discover the peculiarities of the Russian language which will give you a broader overview of its richness, its spirit and therefore a better general understanding of its mechanisms.
My courses are interactive and adapted to the functions of your needs (business, children, tourism, ...) and levels (beginners, intermediate, advanced).

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.

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.

Teaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

My name is Ron, a dedicated Dutch tutor based in Suriname. Originally trained as an HVAC engineer with the intention of continuing my father’s legacy, I transitioned into teaching during the pandemic after discovering my passion for language education. This shift allowed me to embrace remote work while connecting with learners globally. With a friendly and adaptable approach, I prioritize creating engaging, personalized lessons that foster confidence in conversational Dutch. Outside of teaching, I take pride in my family life as a happily married professional who finds fulfillment in helping others achieve their language goals.

I can help you learn Chinese. I passed my VWO Chinese exam with a perfect score of 10. I can also help you with Chinese literature.
I have been teaching Chinese for years as a hobby alongside my studies.
I guided a student from A1 to B2 level within two months. He is now studying in China.

I am an enthusiastic traveler and have been to Fuzhou, Yunnan, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Beijing, among others. I can give you tips and recommendations for traveling through China: from food and culture to transportation and hidden spots you won't find in every travel guide.

Do you want to learn Chinese because you want to travel to China? I can help you with that too — with useful basic phrases, pronunciation, cultural differences, and practical words you really need during your trip.

Dutch can sometimes be difficult: grammar, spelling, reading comprehension, summarizing, or writing good texts. In these tutoring sessions, I help students step by step to become stronger and more confident in the subject of Dutch.

The lessons are practical, clear, and tailored to the student's level and goals. Together, we work on grammar, vocabulary, spelling, writing skills, speaking skills, and reading comprehension. In addition, I pay attention to study skills, so that students not only achieve better grades but also learn to work more independently.

I use many examples, exercises, and active assignments to make the material understandable and applicable. Whether it concerns VMBO, HAVO, VWO, NT2, or general language proficiency: the lessons are tailored to what the student needs.

My goal is not only to understand Dutch better, but also to develop more enjoyment and confidence in language.
