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.

Catharina
Dutch for all levels, situations. Complete immersion.
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.

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.

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.

Rosemarie

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
