Dutch grammar and practice skills in communication, listening, speaking.

Gain confidence in order to communicate serenely with:
your neighbors, your relatives and friends, your classmates, your colleagues and employers or your clients.

As an artist, I developed a particular and personalized method according to the students, which is based on the arts. I consider that the transmission of linguistic knowledge is an art form (the art of teaching, of transmitting and of sharing), and who says artist says authenticity, seriousness, meticulousness, but also relaxation, emotion and joy.

During the presentation (first contact), the student and I talk about their learning project, take stock of their goals and the plan to follow to achieve them according to my method. To achieve this, and if necessary, we reorganize them, restructure them to make them more tangible.

Extra information

Because one of the criteria for learning a foreign language is to have a serious project, but it would be a handicap to take yourself too seriously. One thing is certain, to get up better you have to have fallen more than once.

To learn a language, you don't need rough discipline, which could be very frustrating and discouraging. The important thing is not only to learn to read and write, depending on the personal needs of each student, my method places emphasis on communication, dialogue, discussion, pronunciation, accent and self-confidence because this is what the student needs most when learning a foreign language. And in addition to the qualities of the teacher: Friendly, patient, relaxed and flexible, it is important and essential that the student is understood and taken seriously whatever their age and level, that we focus on their needs , its objectives, its progress, that we adapt at its own pace with interest and encouragement.

About Me

Hi there !

Passionate about languages and proficient in French, Dutch, and English trilingually, with French as my mother tongue, I possess strong competency in these three languages, acquired through my studies and growing up in the Netherlands. My desire to share my linguistic skills led me to undertake learning Indian sign language.

With over 10 years of professional experience, I have held various language-related roles, including private tutoring in languages. As a job coach and social assistant, I have also frequently acted as an interpreter, facilitating exchanges between French, Dutch, and English for various organizations, both in-person and remotely.

In 2006, I founded a foundation offering reintegration training to promote employment. My passion for travel has been reflected in my previous professional activities as a dance teacher and workshop facilitator for a diverse audience, from children to adults, in several countries, as well as in my passion for photography.

Since 2020, I have been working as an independent French-Dutch translator for a French company specializing in the manufacturing and distribution of high-quality paints on a European scale. I also offer personalized online Dutch language tutoring for individuals and professionals from various sectors, both individually and in groups, and offer my services as an interpreter. My rich pedagogical and linguistic experience enables me to address a wide range of audiences and meet various linguistic needs with professionalism and expertise.

Education

- Artist in different disciplines.
- Photography.
- Social work assistants (SWAs).

My education and training allowed me to develop a particular and personalized method according to my students, which is based on the arts, empathy, sympathy, communication, understanding, patience, listening, motivation, kindness, and affection. I consider the transmission of linguistic knowledge to be a form of art (the art of teaching, transmitting, and sharing), and who says artist says authenticity, seriousness, and meticulousness, but also relaxation, emotion, and joy.

Berny helped me a lot to get loose in conversation in Dutch, her method is not based on books but more on the student's necessities! Really recommendable!!
From the first session, our child (teenager) loved Berny's class! We heard him happily repeating Dutch expressions. Through fun learning (activity), Berny managed to interest him from the start by actively involving him in participating. A lively and enriching session (1st page of his notebook full of words). We highly recommend Berny.

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.

Lessons Dutch for Russian speakers by a native speaker!
These courses are specially designed for people with little or no knowledge of Dutch. The lessons are very practical, so you can memorize vocabulary quickly and easily. The approach is always very individual. For children, it's about learning through play; for adults, it's about conversation exercises. You always have access to online documents for practice. I also offer group lessons ate a lower price, contact me for more information.

Florian
Dutch Language Tutor in Tokyo, special attention for pronunciation
Hello! I am a teacher in Tokyo. My lessons are particularly suited for those who need to practice their pronunciation and/or their vocabulary. My classes can also include cultural aspects of the language and Dutch society. They would be ideal to help with orientation before travelling or moving to The Netherlands. If you are interested in the country and its customs, please do not hesitate to contact me. 日本語少し出来ます。宜しくお願いいたします。

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.

Sabbakes

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 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.

Aylin

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.

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 :)

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]
