Dutch as a foreign language. Tailored approach. Online lessons based on your needs + free PPT and audio recording in every lesson!

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!

Fully certified TEFL/TESOL *All classes are one-on-one and tailored to the individual student's needs and requirements. The ultimate goal is that the student thinks in the language not just translates. *All key aspects of the language will be addressed including cultural aspects/linguistic differences. * Whether a quick learner or not; it will be fun and comprehensible. There is a goal to achieve and it will be done. * Whether learning a language to improve your career, for travel or even romantic reasons, help is at hand - just reach out. 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.

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 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.

Prepare in an efficient, intensive way for the ITNA (Interuniversity Language Test Dutch), based on tailor-made exercises. We practice together on language in use, grammar and vocabulary, gap texts, structuring exercises, dictation, presentations and argumentation. Would you like to learn Dutch at a different level (A1 - C1) or are you a native speaker with a specific question, be sure to check out my other lesson "Dutch for non-native speakers and native speakers".

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!
