Dutch tutoring enhanced with AI: Personal guidance by Taniya

From 23 £ /h

Are you new in Belgium? Or do you have trouble with the Dutch language? Don't worry, you've come to the right place! It is with great pleasure that I give tutoring for the Dutch language, with the aim of being able to communicate fluently and to start a conversation with Dutch speakers. To achieve this goal, it is important to master the basics: grammar, vocabulary, reading, speaking and writing. We will practice on this together.

To keep the lessons fun and effective, I integrate AI technology for extra personalized feedback, progress reporting and grammar testing. In addition, I often recommend books and songs for your free time, so that you stay in touch with the French language on a daily basis, not only during tutoring or at school.
Extra information
Please always keep a notebook next to you during tutoring. Often I will ask to write things down.

About Me
Hello! My name is Taniya.

What I love most about teaching is not only helping students achieve better results, but also watching them gain confidence in themselves along the way. It is incredibly rewarding to see a student understand something they once believed they could never learn. Witnessing that progress is one of the most fulfilling aspects of teaching for me.

I strongly believe that everyone is capable of learning when given the right support and guidance. That is why I take a personalized approach, adapting each lesson to the student's individual needs, learning pace, and learning style. No two students are the same, and therefore no two lessons are the same.

When a student tells me, “I can't do this,” I often reply, “You can't do it yet.” With the right support, practice, and motivation, I am convinced that every student can improve and grow. Making mistakes is a natural and essential part of the learning process.

My lessons are personalized, structured, and motivating. I combine a supportive approach with clear expectations, creating an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and challenging themselves to reach their full potential.

After more than 4.5 years of tutoring experience, what continues to motivate me most is seeing the progress my students make. I am currently working with a student who achieves the highest grades in French in his class. Moments like these remind me why I love teaching: helping students realize that they are often capable of far more than they think.
Education
I am currently completing a Master's degree in English and French Linguistics and Literature. Throughout my studies, I have developed a strong foundation in language, communication, literature, and linguistics, with a particular interest in sociolinguistics. My research focuses on the relationship between language, identity, society, and communication.

As part of my Master's programme, I will also continue my studies in France, where I will further deepen my knowledge of the French language and culture.

In addition to my university studies, I am currently completing an internationally recognized 250-hour Level 5 TEFL qualification (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). This programme allows me to further develop my knowledge of language acquisition, teaching methodology, and effective instructional strategies for learners from diverse backgrounds and with different learning needs.
Experience / Qualifications
I began tutoring in 2021, and what started as a part-time activity has since grown into a genuine passion. Over the past 4.5 years, I have worked with students of different ages, levels, and backgrounds, both online and in person. My goal is not only to help students improve their academic performance, but also to develop effective study skills and greater self-confidence.

Throughout the years, I have gained experience working with students in mainstream education as well as learners with ADHD, concentration difficulties, and other specific learning needs. These experiences have taught me the importance of adopting a flexible and personalized approach tailored to each student's individual needs.

In addition, I have been volunteering for the past two years as a homework tutor and learning support mentor for a non-profit organization. In this role, I support children from socially vulnerable families and migrant backgrounds with their schoolwork, language development, and study skills. This experience has further strengthened my passion for education and reinforced my belief in the importance of providing every student with personalized and supportive guidance.

Are you struggling with French? Do you want to improve your grammar, learn to speak better, prepare for an exam, or simply gain more confidence in the language? Then I would be happy to help you!

As a Master's student in English and French Language and Literature with over 4.5 years of tutoring experience, I offer personalized guidance that is fully tailored to your level, goals, and learning style.

My lessons are structured, interactive, and motivating. We work together on the areas you find difficult, whether that be grammar, vocabulary, speaking, writing, reading, or exam preparation. I believe it is important for students to feel comfortable and dare to ask questions, so that they can grow with confidence.

I tutor primary and secondary school students as well as adults who want to improve their French. Together, we ensure that French is no longer a stumbling block, but a language in which you gain increasing confidence.

See you soon!

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!

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.

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.

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

As a certified educator holding a Bachelor’s in Secondary Education (Dutch & English) and a Master’s in Dutch Literature and Poetry, I combine academic expertise with a highly relaxed, engaging approach.

What we will focus on:

Real-Life Conversation: Active speaking practice on topics you actually care about.

Structured Gaps: Filling in your grammar and vocabulary gaps using custom, interactive materials.

Stress-Free Environment: A calm, low-pressure space designed to build genuine confidence.

Let’s make learning Dutch an enjoyable, rewarding part of your week!

I teach conversational Dutch and help with A2 inburgering exam prep for expats and internationals, fully online.

Lessons are structured around your level and goals, whether you're a complete beginner, preparing for the inburgering exam, or already speak some Dutch and want to build confidence and fluency. Each lesson builds on the last, so progress is measurable.

I use my own teaching materials, focused on real, everyday Dutch instead of outdated textbook Dutch. I speak ABN (standard Dutch) and cover all the important everyday topics. Every lesson comes with homework, so progress continues between sessions.
