Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello,

I am Katleen and my mother tongue is Dutch. I have been teaching Dutch as a foreign language since 2000. About me, my language and teaching skills:
I have a Master's Degree in Applied Linguistics, specializing in English/Spanish Translation and a Bachelor's Degree in Teaching, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in NLP Coaching. I was born in Belgium but grew up in Amsterdam, so I am very familiar with Flemish and Dutch culture. I can teach you Dutch with a personalized approach, according to your personal and/or professional needs. You will learn to speak Dutch correctly and be able to communicate with Dutch speakers from Flanders and the Netherlands and elsewhere. Get ready to delve into the fascinating world of Dutch-speaking communities. You will see that it is very fun to learn Dutch! Types of foreign speakers I've been teaching Dutch to: business people, actors, higher and secondary education students, doctors, job seekers, you (?)...

See you soon Dutch people!
Vriendelijke groeten,
Katleen

PS: I also talk to you in French. If you want to learn Dutch online with me, please contact me via this platform.
See you soon for Dutch on Zoom! I also speak Spanish! See you soon for Dutch!

You will preferably need two screens, such as a laptop and a tablet, a laptop and a laptop, or a laptop and a PC. Make sure video and audio work for each of these devices. Paper or online English/Dutch and Dutch/English dictionaries (e.g. Van Dale) and online language tools (e.g. Reverso Context) are recommended. Zoom lessons are taught per individual student. Before each online lesson, you will receive a free PowerPoint presentation with a personalized lesson. After each lesson, you will receive a free, personalized audio recording of the lesson itself. Example of an online lesson (for an intermediate level): we will watch a short video (with Dutch subtitles) on a relevant topic, discuss vocabulary and verbs, talk about your opinion, improve your pronunciation, look at some grammar, etc.
Students can purchase a recent and highly recommended Dutch workbook and text that can be used during online lessons. Of course, this is not mandatory, but it is essential if you plan to book more than 5 lessons. If you are interested, you can order these books online after our first lesson.

Reviews (3)

I've had a very informative first lesson, I appreciate all the efforts Katleen's doing. Got a lot of Dutch words and phrases that are new for me but it's a matter of some time before they become quite familiar.
Excellent teacher. Highly recommended.
Very good teacher! She adapts the lessons to the needs of the student! THE course is lively and interactive! THANKS!

Dutch lesson for teenagers & adults adjusted to your needs as a student!
Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

I am a primary school teacher and can help with: Reading Comprehension, Language, Arithmetic, World Orientation, Spelling, Reading, Vocabulary, English. Based on your wishes I create my lessons, so that you gain self-confidence step by step in what you (still) find difficult. With games, puzzles, explanations, conversations and practice you will improve a little bit every day. If you want to improve your Dutch because you speak another language at home, we can work on that too. I live in France myself and know how difficult and fun it is to learn to speak another language I live in France and that is why all my lessons are online. I am flexible, let me know when you would like your lesson. ............................................ Tell me the things you find hard to learn at school and I'll help you. I am a primary school teacher and can help with: Reading comprehension, Dutch, Math, World Orientation, Spelling, Vocabulary, English.

Online tutoring for language subjects (German, English and Dutch) in Dutch for high school girls of all levels.
I am a university student and I would like to tutor girls online to support them at secondary level. You can contact me if you have difficulty with learning or for example projects and homework. I would like to briefly discuss your wish(s) at the beginning. My availability is not always the same, so what is stated below may change. I can help with various subjects.

Paul
Learn Flemish/Dutch with ease and with an experienced tutor
My name is Paul and I am a Dutch and English teacher. I am originally from Antwerp - Belgium, where I also studied, but I have been living in Spain for a number of years. I have been a teacher for more than 10 years now, and I specialise in Dutch (and English) as a second language. I have worked for various Dutch (language) organisations, such as the Dutch school in Barcelona and the Dutch Language and Culture Foundation on the Costa Blanca. I have experience with almost all levels and ages, although most students are highly educated people who want to work in Belgium or the Netherlands, and want to learn the language in a short period of time. I also have experience with preparing for official exams and integration programmes. In recent years I have specialised in giving lessons online. This is particularly useful for students who don't have a lot of time, but still want to learn the language efficiently. I always offer a tailor-made lesson package – not everyone has the same needs and goals. Whether you already know some Dutch or have to start from zero, I'll make sure you'll start learning and using Dutch from the very first lesson!

Mahmood
Dutch Classes for Expats / Basic Civil Integration Exam
Hello! I’m Mahmood and I currently live in Gouda (South-Holland). I came to The Netherlands some time ago. As an Expat I know how tough it is to learn a new language, especially the Dutch language with its tough pronunciations and sentence structures. Being an Expat I understand much better what the challenges are that other Expats needs to go through to learn Dutch I am specialized in preparing Expats and other immigrants for the Basic Civil Integration Examination (Basisexamen Inburgering). I can also teach about the Dutch social culture and History of The Netherlands. Also I teach Dutch till A2 level or to the people who like to learn Dutch as a hobby. I teach one on one as well as to Groups (I provide discount for Groups). What can I teach you? : - Read and Write in Dutch - Sound like a Native Speaker - Participate in Basic Conversations and Use Daily Phrases - Understand and Pick Up on Basic Conversations My method of teaching: i) Starting discussion At the start, we will discuss your level and objectives. This way I can efficiently give you the help that you need. ii) Open communication I have an open way of teaching in which I encourage students to keep telling me what their difficulties are or where they would like to improve. In my experience, this saves a lot of time and also makes the lessons more fun. iii) Simplify instead of complicate I am good at listening and understanding why students are having difficulties with certain issues. The thing in which I’m best is explaining complicated things in a simple way.

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.

Rosemarie
Dutch lessons for adults / Basis Nederlands voor anderstaligen (beginners)
Dutch is my native language. I can teach in English, French and German. I am retired and very flexible with my time. The language is native and has the courage to speak English. I have English and Dutch owners. I also speak French and German. I am reserved and flexible with my time.

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.

Marcelo
Learn Dutch in a short time - experienced coach (24 years of experience) State Exam NT2 trainer - inspired to teach Dutch to expats
A qualified language coach with 24 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 24 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.

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!

Frederic
