Native speaker who loves to chat and help you learn! — No kids under 16 — Hoi! Ik kom uit Midden-Nederland, maar studeer momenteel in Chili. Ik ben jurist en altijd al gek op taal geweest. Daarnaast bezoek ik graag musea, houd ik van lezen en lekker eten. Ik vind het heerlijk om nieuwe culturen te ontdekken en anderen te leren over mijn eigen cultuur. I'm from the middle of the Netherlands, but am currently studying in Chile. I studied law and have always loved linguistics. Besides that, I love to visit museums, to read and I enjoy good food. I enjoy discovering new cultures as well as showing my own to others. Als docent ben ik relaxed, maar zal geen grammatica fouten laten gaan. Ik probeer een zo normaal mogelijke gesprekssituatie te creëren en zal je ondertussen verbeteren in de chat. Het heeft mijn voorkeur om van jou te horen over jouw interesses. Maar ik houd ontzettend van kletsen, dus we zullen hoe dan ook iets vinden om over te praten! As a teacher, I am relaxed but will not let grammar mistakes go. I try to create as normal a conversation situation as possible and will correct you in the chat in the meantime. It is my preference to hear from you about your interests. But, I am incredibly fond of chatting, so we will find something to talk about either way!

Cathaijne is an excellent teacher and helped to prepare me for a trip to the Netherlands. Her style is relaxed and low-stress; she is easy to talk to. Our conversations flowed easily, even as she made suggestions and corrections that helped me to improve. She was always ready and prepared for our lessons and I appreciated her positive and fun approach. I'm so grateful to her for all that I learned. Would 100% recommend!

Ik heb mijn eerste les met haar gehad en het was geweldig! Ze heeft de les leuk en duidelijk gemaakt, alles goed uitgelegd en aangepast aan mijn niveau. Ik voelde me meteen op mijn gemak en heb al veel geleerd. Ze gaf fijne feedback en motiveerde me om beter te worden. Echt een aanrader!

Cathalijne offers a structured lesson with text and questions to drive the conversation and practice with interests in mind. This was a great way to practice before the lesson and provides context to the language (and mistakes) to help with retention. She is also fun to talk to! Great lesson!

Thank you so much! I enjoyed the conversation and the words and pieces of grammar we discovered to have room for improvement are very useful to me. I liked the method of correction via the chat keeping the conversation fluent (vloeiend).

Catalijne does a great job making the class interesting. She picks out errors / areas of improvement deftly and explains clearly how to correct / work on them.
