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!

Extra information

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.

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!

Private lessons

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.

Florence
Secondary teacher, bilingual FR-NL and graduated in interpretation gives private lessons in Dutch and English
The methodology chosen for my private lessons adapts to the specific needs of the student, from the youngest (learning to read) to the most experienced: preparation for an exam, a trip abroad, a reorientation professional, ... the courses can vary from a conversation table to a more academic structure emphasizing grammar, conjugation and vocabulary, or still be based on the theme of a particular professional sector.

Florian
Dutch Language Tutor in Tokyo, special attention for pronunciation
Hello! I am a teacher in Tokyo. My lessons are particularly suited for those who need to practice their pronunciation and/or their vocabulary. My classes can also include cultural aspects of the language and Dutch society. They would be ideal to help with orientation before travelling or moving to The Netherlands. If you are interested in the country and its customs, please do not hesitate to contact me. 日本語少し出来ます。宜しくお願いいたします。

Together, we'll embark on a journey to master the Dutch language in a fun and dynamic 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.

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 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.

Irma
Dutch lessons at any level.
The most important thing for me is that we have fun while learning – that makes everything a lot more fun! In the lessons I am happy to help you with your questions about Dutch grammar and we can work together on your speaking, writing and/or listening skills. Do you have homework that you need help with? That is of course also possible! Let me know what level you are at now and what you would like to learn. I would love to challenge you, but make sure it is always fun and that you don't have too much at once. The prices stated are for a lesson for 1 person.

Carolina
Teaching children until the age of 11 years old playfully Dutch
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.

Caroline
Dutch for non-native speakers (including ITNA) and native speakers
Dutch for speakers of other languages: all levels Grammar - spelling - pronunciation - conversation - preparation ITNA... I make my own material tailored to the student. Dutch for native speakers: spelling - reader-oriented writing If desired, the following is possible: correction and revision, proofreading of papers and theses, translations from English / Spanish (prices are determined based on the number of words) The price for a lesson is for 1 person. Do you want to take the lesson with several people? Please contact me to ask for the price. The available times during the week often change. So feel free to contact me to ask if your preferred moment is still available.

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!

Persian lessons / Dutch lessons for non-native speakers and (non-native) children
As 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.

Hetty
Dutch tutoring for children up to group 8, arithmetic tutoring up to group 6/NT2 for children and adults
I tutor children at your home or at a location of your choice. I also teach the Dutch language: conversation, spelling, grammar, reading, NT2. I listen carefully to what you need and I adapt my lessons accordingly. I am a patient, flexible and friendly person and I like a bit of lightness in class. My belief is that you as a student should enjoy the lesson (at least a little), then learning will happen automatically. Because a good result is what we strive for together! I am flexible from week to week. Do you need help for your integration exam / NT2? Or do you want to improve your conversation in Dutch? Do you or your child need extra help and support in the Dutch language, in speaking, listening, writing, reading, spelling ... I am an experienced Dutch teacher. I have a personal, patient approach and I offer a mixture of fun and seriousness during my lessons. Let's get started! I have plenty of lesson and exercise material.
