Over

Ich bin Deutsche und wohne seit 24 Jahren in England. Ich arbeite in England als Lehrerin für Englisch als Fremdsprache, Deutsch als Fremdsprache, und ich unterrichte auch Englisch und Deutsch privat.

Ich arbeite mit Kindern und Erwachsenen aus allen Teilen der Welt, und liebe es, meinen Enthusiasmus für Sprachen weiterzuvermitteln. Mein Unterricht ist locker, interaktiv und interessant, und meine Schüler machen sichtbare Fortschritte.

Opleiding

Nach meinem Besuch der POS (Polytechnische Oberschule) in Gera, Thüringen, habe ich eine Ausbildung zur Datenfachverarbeiterin gemacht.

Danach habe ich in Deutschland und Norwegen Betriebswirtschaft studiert. Im Jahre 1996 bin ich nach England gezogen, um in einer Softwarefirma zu arbeiten. Nach einigen Jahren als Marketingassistentin und Graphic Designerin in verschiedenen Firmen und später dann selbständig, habe ich begonnen, an einer Privatschule in Bristol als Deutsche Sprachassistentin zu arbeiten.

Hier wurde der Grundstein für meine Laufbahn als Sprachlehrerin gelegt. Das Unterrichten hat mir so viel Spaß gemacht, daß ich begann, auch privat zu unterrichten. Ich habe dann auch noch an einer zweiten Privatschule angefangen.

Später habe ich meine CELTA Qualifikation (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages - Cambridge) gemacht und angefangen, ausländische Erwachsene in Bath College zu unterrichten, wo ich auch heute noch arbeite.

As you know, speaking English is essential — especially when you’re abroad and don’t speak the local language. Whether you're starting from the basics or want to improve your fluency, I’m here to help you every step of the way!

I am an experienced French teacher who also teaches English, Armenian, and Russian. In my lessons, I focus on grammar while placing a strong emphasis on speaking and building confidence in real communication.

I’m known for being very patient, kind, and supportive, always creating a positive environment where my students feel comfortable and motivated to learn.

Classes are online .
Let’s start your language journey together — I look forward to meeting you, my lovely students! 🌟

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

I am a Translator-Interpreter and have worked in marketing for an American Petroleum Company for 25 years.
My knowledge of languages was very crucial. After my husband's premature death I did replacements but after a while I started giving private language lessons. I spoke French until I was six.

I offer English lessons focused on reading, writing, and speaking skills, immersion in the culture and history of the language and English-speaking peoples, and I use methods tailored to each student to ensure the fastest and most lasting progress. To achieve this, I utilize a variety of resources: traditional exercises (grammar, spelling), oral and audio exercises for pronunciation and comprehension, music and games, educational videos, and more.
I attach great importance to writing by hand with a pen and not just typing on a computer, as well as to non-traditional learning methods (films, music with lyrics, games) because this engages different parts of the brain more deeply and makes it easier to learn and retain information.
I guarantee personalized learning methods and support for each student, as well as a significant improvement in level in less time than would be required via traditional platforms.
