Mijn lessen zijn gebaseerd op de behoeften van de individuen, zoals communicatie in het dagelijks leven, het lezen van zakelijke of projectmanagementdocumenten en genieten van hun tijd tijdens het verkennen van de Turkse cultuur en keuken.

The lesson I had with Sumru was truly excellent. She provided me with guidance to fill in my gaps and I highly recommend her.
It was a smooth, but also very educational first lesson at Sumru's home. I took a beginners lesson and we started with the theory of vowels/sounds (Kalın & Ince ünlüler) and the alphabet. I really liked the focus that Sumru placed on speech. I received sufficient teaching material and was taught in both paper and online form. That's why I'm going again next week!

Nederlands en Engels / Dutch and English classes - Learn fast! Beginners and intermediateHi ya'll, I am a native Dutch speaker with several years of experience teaching foreigners (mostly expats) Dutch and English.
Learn Dutch and/or English fast and efficiently. Learn it in your own way, at your own speed. I will teach you Dutch and/or English using the method that works best for you. I teach at a basic beginners level, intermediate and advanced level. The classes can take as long and often as you'd like. I am very flexible. Also, I can be quite strict so if you are looking for intensive guidance I can be the right teacher for you but if you want to learn the language in a more relaxed way (or for fun), that is fine as well and I will just go easy on you :)
My classes mostly revolve around: grammar, pronunciation, daily useful expressions and vocabulary. We will be working on these aspects but if you have any other subjects of interest, we can work on those as well.
Contact me for a class! I give both online and physical classes, in Den Haag.

Voorbereiding (Inburgerings)examen/ Preparation (integration) exam / Exam trainingAre you preparing for the civic integration exam/ het inburgeringsexamen?

Ben je je aan het voorbereiden op het inburgeringsexamen? Ik help je graag om het examen succesvol te halen!

Daarnaast werken we aan alle vier de onderdelen: spreekvaardigheid, schrijfvaardigheid, leesvaardigheid en luistervaardigheid.
Ik hoor graag wat je huidige niveau van het Nederlands is, zodat we een goede planning kunnen maken die bij jou past.

Persian lessons / Dutch lessons for non-native speakers and (non-native) childrenAs non-Dutch speaking parents, it is certainly not easy to teach your children Dutch or help them become more fluent in the new language. Who wants some extra exercise for their kids? I would like to help you with that. As their vocabulary expands and their sentences become more fluent, your children will become more confident. A good command of the Dutch language is certainly to their advantage, both now and in the future.
Do your children need some help with their homework, especially with their Dutch, then I can help with that.
Even as non-native-speaking adults, it is sometimes difficult to have enough exercise. That is why adults who want to make progress in speaking the Dutch language are welcome here! We can practice the everyday language together. Conversing is the best way to learn a new language.
Anyone want to learn Persian? Then I am here to help you with that. Here too, I mainly work on communication.

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.

"Online Turkish Lessons with a Guaranteed Speaking Practice with a Turkish Teacher 🤓 / Over 6 Years of Experience 👨💻 / Easy Learning MetHello, my name is Yunus. I'm Turkish and live in Izmir. I can't wait to learn Turkish with you.🤗 I love teaching Turkish. If you want, I would like to briefly tell you how we can learn Turkish.🤓 First, in our first lesson, we determine your level together📝 and start our lessons suitable for your level. Our lessons include reading📕, writing✏️, listening🧏🏽♀️, and speaking🗣️. I want you to read and translate reading passages in the reading section. Here, we write down and memorize the new words and verbs we learn.🧠 Then, after listening to a text related to our topic, I want you to explain in Turkish what you understood. Of course, understanding the texts might be a bit difficult at first, but we overcome this and learn together. 💪Then, we come to the most fun part, of course, the speaking part. In this part, we talk about the texts we have read and listened to before. Of course, we try to use new words and verbs more. I love people who talk a lot in my classes. It's not a problem even if it gives me a bit of a headache🤕😁 As long as you learn🙏❤️. And finally, I give you a writing assignment related to the topic and eagerly await our next lesson. Also, you can contact me anytime outside of class.📲 I look forward to having you in my class and getting to know you and learning Turkish together. Take care.👋🏾

Psychology is also one of my passions and with my knowledge about it I know precisely how to teach you in the best way possible with proven psychological methods to remember information way faster and in a fun way.
