I am Belgian and married to an Iranian man. We speak Persian to each other. I know from experience that speaking is the best way to learn a language fluently. After a basic knowledge of grammar, putting it into practice is the best method! I can help with that.

Let's make learning a new language fun together!

I am an enthusiastic teacher with a university degree and 25 years of experience in the Netherlands. I offer Dutch and Turkish lessons for beginners and advanced students. I was born and raised in Turkey. I have gained extensive experience at various language schools and companies as:
- Teacher NT2 (Dutch as a second language) for foreigners 🇳🇱
- Turkish teacher for adults and children 🇹🇷
- Teacher of integration courses and training for the integration exam

Lessons are also offered in English. 🇬🇧

The teaching material is sent digitally and is included in the lesson fee.

Hopefully see you soon! Yakında görüşürüz! Hope to see you soon!

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 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.

Are you looking for a Farsi teacher? My name is Negar and I'm a native Persian(Farsi) speaker that loves languages a lot.
I teach Farsi in a creative and interesting way. In my class, you'll learn grammar and vocabulary together with conversations. We will practice all 4 skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and learn about Iranian culture.
My teaching style is communicative and task-based although it is adapted to the needs and rhythm of each student. If you want to learn Persian in an easy and authentic way, feel free to contact me :)

Prepare in an efficient, intensive way for the ITNA (Interuniversity Language Test Dutch), based on tailor-made exercises.
We practice together on language in use, grammar and vocabulary, gap texts, structuring exercises, dictation, presentations and argumentation.

Would you like to learn Dutch at a different level (A1 - C1) or are you a native speaker with a specific question, be sure to check out my other lesson "Dutch for non-native speakers and native speakers".

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.

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.

In my tutoring sessions in French, Dutch, and English, I focus on improving grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, so that your language skills grow naturally and confidently. Whether you struggle with reading and understanding texts, writing correct sentences, or speaking in everyday situations, my lessons are fully tailored to your level and personal learning goals.

During tutoring sessions, I use a combination of practical exercises, interactive assignments, and clear explanations so that the material becomes not only understandable but also applicable in real-life situations. For language exams, school assignments, or professional purposes, I help you develop strategies to learn and perform with confidence and efficiency.

An important part of my approach is personal guidance and feedback. I pay attention to your specific challenges and strengths, and tailor the exercises accordingly. As a result, you not only learn faster but also retain more knowledge in the long term.

In addition, I focus on the joy of learning, because motivation and curiosity are essential for making progress. Together, we work on increasing your confidence in using the language, so that speaking, writing, reading, and listening feel increasingly easier and more natural.

Whether you are a beginner or already advanced, my tutoring sessions are flexible and tailored to your pace, so that you master French, Dutch, and English with pleasure and results, and develop your language skills to the fullest.
