From 31.94 £ /h

Are you looking for someone to just talk to? Or do you want to practice your Dutch or Persian in a natural and relaxed way, through real conversations? Then you are very welcome with me.

Whether you just want to talk to someone who will listen to you about everyday things or you want to improve your Persian or Dutch speaking skills, I will adapt to your needs.

Children who are raised bilingually can also come to me for playful and involved conversations that strengthen their sense of language. With patience and attention I connect with their world of experience.

I am patient, involved and speak fluent Persian, reasonable English and German, in addition to Dutch. Our conversations can therefore be tailored to your (or your) level and preference.

Please feel free to send a message if you have any questions or would like to schedule an introductory meeting.

About Me

I am Liesbet, I am a housewife and I am married to an Iranian man. I would like to help non-native speakers and (non-Dutch speaking) children with their Dutch. Most grammar does succeed, and the technical aspect of the language is usually well learned. But the conversation is missing, something can be done about it. More exercise ... just speak.
Because I have learned some new languages myself, I know that conversing is the best exercise ... with mistakes ... one can learn the most from it. So let's just practice by talking to each other via the webcam! And as a result, you or your children will quickly feel more confident, so that speaking will also become more fluent!

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

31.94 £ /h

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.

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.

Are you looking for a Farsi teacher? My name is Negar and I'm a native Persian(Farsi) speaker that loves languages a lot.
I teach Farsi in a creative and interesting way. In my class, you'll learn grammar and vocabulary together with conversations. We will practice all 4 skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and learn about Iranian culture.
My teaching style is communicative and task-based although it is adapted to the needs and rhythm of each student. If you want to learn Persian in an easy and authentic way, feel free to contact me :)

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".

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.

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.

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。

My name is Ron, a dedicated Dutch tutor based in Suriname. Originally trained as an HVAC engineer with the intention of continuing my father’s legacy, I transitioned into teaching during the pandemic after discovering my passion for language education. This shift allowed me to embrace remote work while connecting with learners globally. With a friendly and adaptable approach, I prioritize creating engaging, personalized lessons that foster confidence in conversational Dutch. Outside of teaching, I take pride in my family life as a happily married professional who finds fulfillment in helping others achieve their language goals.

Explanation lesson
These Dutch lessons are practical and interactive, focusing on grammar, vocabulary, and real-life situations. You'll learn step by step and immediately apply the language in school, work, and everyday life.
It really is the best way to master the Dutch language.

I offer Dutch lessons adapted to beginners as well as to people who already have some basic knowledge.

I have a B2 level in Dutch, validated by a certificate of achievement, which allows me to teach the language in a clear, structured and accessible way.

The goal is to make learning simple, progressive and motivating, by advancing step by step on the essential basics of the language.

Each course is structured around:

- useful everyday vocabulary
- Grammar explained simply
- basic conjugation
- oral and written comprehension
- Conversation exercises to quickly gain fluency

I adapt to the pace and objectives of each student (school, work or personal learning), in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.

The goal is to progress effectively while gaining confidence in speaking.

Dutch can be a challenging language. Spelling, grammar, reading comprehension, writing, or speaking often cause insecurity in both children and adults. In my lessons, I help pupils and course participants step by step to gain more control, confidence, and enjoyment in the Dutch language.

I teach online lessons to:

- pupils in primary and secondary education (vmbo, havo and vwo);
- Dutch children living abroad;
- adults learning Dutch as a second language (NT2);
- students preparing for work, study, or emigration to the Netherlands.

The lessons can be taught entirely in Dutch, but if necessary, I also provide support in English, Spanish, or German. This allows non-native speakers to better understand grammar and language structures and make faster progress.

The lessons are practical, personal, and fully tailored to the goals of the student or learner. I use many examples, exercises, and active assignments so that the language becomes immediately applicable.

As a Dutch person living and working in Colombia, I have extensive experience with online education, multilingualism, and international students. My goal is not only better results, but above all more self-confidence and enjoyment of the Dutch language.

In today’s globalized world, speaking multiple languages is an important advantage for academic success, international careers, travel, and cultural exchange. English, German, and Dutch are among the most valuable languages for communication in Europe and around the world, opening doors to professional opportunities, higher education, and meaningful connections across different cultures.
English, Dutch and German are, for example the most sought after in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and other European countries and are positioned as the strongest asset on the job market.

My personalized language classes are designed for students of all levels, from beginners to advanced learners. The lessons are adapted to each student’s goals, whether for daily conversation, professional communication, exam preparation, relocation, travel, or academic improvement.

Students will develop essential language skills including speaking, listening, reading, writing, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. The classes focus on practical communication and confidence-building through interactive exercises, real-life situations, conversation practice.

My teaching approach is supportive, dynamic, and student-centered, creating a comfortable learning environment where each student can progress at their own pace while developing fluency and confidence in the language they choose to learn.
