Dutch lessons for young professionals as well as academic/university support
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
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!

A lawyer by training and after so many years of career in international business, and the 3 children having left the house, I am moving towards teaching individual Dutch. I focus on young professionals, on children in secondary school, on students preparing for their exams and on people looking for work or who simply want to improve their Dutch.My leitmotif: Dutch is not impossible!
Please note that the English and Dutch versions of my profile are being translated by Apprentice uses. I have noted quite some errors.

Thibault
Private lessons: Learning Dutch is easy!Hello,
I am a 22 year old student who has always been in a Dutch-speaking school system. My family is of Flemish but French-speaking origin so I have always played with both at home. Thanks to this it is very easy for me to initiate Dutch with simple and structured explanations while adapting to the student's level. My goal is to teach the student Dutch in a fun way, because contrary to its reputation, Dutch is a beautiful and fun language when you know it. You or your children will appreciate the patience and motivation I have when it comes to initiation.
Caroline

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.
Mahmood
Dutch Classes for Expats / Basic Civil Integration ExamHello! 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.

Lessons for anyone who wants to learn Dutch quicklyDuring my Dutch language lessons, I provide engaging and interactive sessions tailored to meet the needs of all learners, including children. I utilize various teaching methods, such as games, songs, and storytelling, to make the learning process enjoyable and effective. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your language skills, my lessons are flexible and adapted to your pace and learning style. Together, we'll embark on a journey to master the Dutch language in a fun and dynamic way!
Stefan
Dutch: Easy and effortless, adapted to your needs!As a certified teacher and native Dutch speaker, I offer private lessons tailored to your specific needs and interests. Whether you want to improve your Dutch for work, feel more at ease in social situations, or dive into Dutch literature in the original language, I’ll help you get there with lessons built around your goals.
I also offer support with exam preparation and general study guidance. Our sessions will include a variety of learning methods—such as reading texts, doing exercises, listening to audio, and practicing real-life conversation. Grammar will always serve a purpose: helping you use the language confidently and naturally, without getting bogged down in rules.
Language is a tool to communicate, and I believe your lessons should reflect that. So whatever your motivation, that’s what we’ll work toward—together.
I speak English at C2 level (IELTS certified) and conversational French and German. I’m happy to explain grammar and concepts in any of these languages if that’s helpful to you.
Doranzyò
Personalized Dutch lesson from native Dutch speaker!My name is Doranzyò and I am more than happy to welcome you to one of my Dutch lessons.
This course is for anyone at any level. Pre A1, A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.
Let me tell you a little about me so you can get a better idea of who I am and what my working method is:
Language and its roots have interested me for as long as I live and no day goes by without me learning a language or thinking about it.
It probably sounds lame, but this benefits you incredibly. I shall teach you the language with passion and you won't forget a thing. 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.
Let's have a talk and let's see if there is anything I can do for you!
Chaimae
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. I have completed German, English and Dutch at VWO level.
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.

Dutch lessons for adults / Basis Nederlands voor anderstaligen (beginners)Dutch is my native language. I can teach in English, French and German.

Learn Dutch in a short time - experienced coach (24 years of experience) State Exam NT2 trainer - inspired to teach Dutch to expatsA 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.
