English Conversation, confidence, fluency, construction

Van 20 € /h

You will become confident in your use of English language use in all areas: speaking, reading, listening and writing, by following professional lesson plans, which can often be accompanied by a video or audio file. These documents are all topic based and thereby build and check vocabulary understanding, check comprehension of text and encourage speaking: opinion, debate occasionally critical thinking.

You an attend lesson for general, business or exam preparation purposes.

Classes are relaxed yet professional; you are fully supported in a patient and encouraging environment. You can ask as many questions as you need to make sure that the topic and/or exercises are clear to you. You as the student are also allowed to bring your own ideas for topic discussion to class and, if we do not complete a document because we have gotten into an alternative conversation, it is not a problem. Also, if you wish additional written practice homework, we can discuss and apply this.

Over

I enjoy teaching because of the variety of people I get to meet. It offers me the opportunity to learn about new cultures and more importantly, help people achieve their goals relating to English language use.

I am a patient and understanding teacher who encourages questions. Quick and repetitive correction; lots of discussion; fun and familiar topics. I believe in broadening the mind so you will also read and discuss an article that focuses on a topic which you know little about, but learn new vocabulary and gain insight.

I have along (administrative) background in Law, having worked as a Legal Secretary for 16 years. I also have a passion for wellness/meditation and overall mental health.

I believe in student centred classes; student input being encouraged.

My tutor successes are those Eureka moment when things finally fix together; also those moments when a student discusses a successful presentation and their confidence to not only make the presentation but make comfortable small talk; their passing of an exam or indeed travel to an English speaking country. Moreover, they have either gained promotion or landed that dream career change.

I am also a Registered TOLES Centre (individual) with TOLES Legal, which enables me to teach and prepare students for the TOLES Legal exam.

A qualified language coach with 25 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.

I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.

In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).

We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!

You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.

My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.

Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.

This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.

Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1

As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.

I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.

Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 25 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.

I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

I am offering English lessons to students of all ages and levels as part of school, exam preparation, or just out of interest in vocabulary, grammar, and/or pronunciation. My experience has been mostly with children individually or in group lessons learning English as a second language of ages between 7 and 17. My aim is to help students establish a goal and help them along the path of reaching that goal, with clear progress milestones. I speak English at native level but I can also teach in Dutch depending on your needs. I have an English-spoken Bachelor's Degree in Politics and Law, having received an A on my International Human Rights Law thesis, a 1560/1600 on my SAT and 5/5 in AP English Language. I am also happy to do exam-specific tutoring.

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 one's needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

Hello, my name is Lucie and I would be delighted to help you learn English, either from scratch or to improve your knowledge. I love getting my students to speak since I think practice is the secret to learning a language and improving your knowledge. I always structure my classes around real-life themes (how to introduce yourself, how to make an appointment, how to shop, how to go to the doctor, talk at work, etc). We will see grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation together. If you are intermediate, we will also do courses on texts. We will put both grammar and vocabulary into practice. Please note that all my classes are online (Skype or Google Meet).
