    Private Dutch lessons / Privéles Nederlands als tweede taal

    Hello,
    Nice to meet you! I am a native Dutch speakers and giving private Dutch lessons. I offer the following:
    - Conversation classes
    - Business Dutch
    - Dutch for daily usage
    - Literature classes (if you want to take your Dutch to the next level)

    I cater my lessons towards the student - in the first session, I want to get to know you, your level and your goals and interests. I will then draw up a lesson plan together with you, so we can focus on your personal goals. I take a patient and engaging approach - languages are learnt by practising, not by attending lectures.

    A bit about myself:
    I studied journalism, English philology and have a Masters degree in modern literature from the University of St Andrews (Scotland). After my studies, I moved to Poland where I worked in IT and HR before becoming a teacher. As I live in Poland, I only offer online classes. Moving to a country where I did not speak the language really helped me improve as a teacher - I know how hard it can be!

    Are you interested or do you have more questions? Feel free to reach out!

    About Me

    Hey!
    My name is Syme and I tutor English and Dutch. I have a passion for language - I studied Journalism and English Language and Culture and have a Masters in Literature from St Andrews (Scotland). I like to write, read and share my enthusiasm.
    I also like to go on an adventure. After my studies I moved to Poland, because I wanted to learn more about the eastern part of Europe. I liked it so much that I've been living here for almost seven years now.
    I am currently following the Cambridge English teacher training course.

    Student Cambridge English Teacher Training
    Hey, Would you like to improve your English? Do you want to be able to communicate better at work? Then you've come to the right place. I studied English at Utrecht University and then did a master's degree in literature in Scotland (St Andrews). Then I moved to Poland, where my daily communication is in English. I have six years of experience in international companies. I am currently in the process of getting my CELTA certificate. In the first lesson I would like to get to know you - what is your level, your goal and what are your interests? My philosophy is that a lesson should be interesting and stimulating. That's why I tune in to you personally. This could be for example: - Talking a lot so that you become self-confident - A lot of talking where I constantly interrupt you to improve you - Focused work on a part that you are having trouble with - Business English: we can use examples from your own work - Role-playing to practice certain situations - Discuss literature to take your English to the very highest level I'd love to hear what you want to get out of the lessons, and together we'll make sure it works!

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.

    Personalized Dutch language lessons for any level or goal
    As a former primary school teacher and experienced Dutch teacher for adults and children, I enjoy helping others achieve their language goals. 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 :)

    Turkish and NT2 (Dutch as a second language) for adults and children
    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. 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]
