About Catherine

I was born and raised in the Flemish speaking part of Belgium, and have since lived in different countries in Europe. I currently live in London.

I hold a Master´s degree in Economics and in Applied Linguistics and have worked in a multicultural environment ever since I graduated.

For over 15 years, I have been teaching Dutch and Business English to professionals and private students, in small groups, one-to-one classes and via webcam. Previous and current clients include: Hôpitaux de l´Europe, AON, Goodyear, Banco Santander, Kraft, FROB, Nfoque, Spanish Ministry of Industrial Development and Worley.

I speak Dutch, English, Spanish and French at a proficiency level, and also speak a word of German.

About the lesson

During our lessons, I create an optimal learning environment with great sense of empathy. I have also gone through the process of learning to express myself outside my comfort zone and know about the insecurities and challenges that come with it.

Obviously, we will have to look at the necessary grammatical structures, but the main focus will be on learning to communicate efficiently and fluently, giving you every opportunity to express yourself, whether you need mainly spoken or written practice.

You will use the language in a context that is both functional and useful to you. Classes are dynamic and fun, with a different range of activities to keep you active throughout every session. As a teacher, I will be there to let you discover the correct structures, and guide you where it goes wrong.

We will also pay sufficient attention to culture, as any language is undeniably intertwined with the society of the people who speak it. Learning a language is not so much about being 100% grammatically accurate, but rather about being able to communicate considering relevant cultural differences and different social conventions. This will help you achieve your communicative goals and avoid possible misinterpretations.

Language is not about words. It´s about worlds.

Catherine is a truly wonderful teacher. I was her student for nearly a year, after we were introduced through a language course provided by my former employer, and I would 100% recommend her as your Dutch teacher.
She always tailored the classes to my personal learning needs, and I really appreciated how interactive and varied our sessions were. I will truly miss them.
She creates a great atmosphere, builds a strong connection, and is both kind and patient.

10/10 recommended!

Al hablar a la perfección español y tener muchísimo conocimiento, las explicaciones son muy fáciles de entender. Las clases son dinámicas y entretenidas a la par que productivas. Da gusto tener una profesora como ella, siempre con una sonrisa, de buen humor y dispuesta a adaptarse a tus necesidades.

Details

Fees vary depending on the specific needs of the groups, and start at GBP25 per hour.

Learning a language requires compromise, and as a teacher I dedicate a lot of time and effort in preparing lessons that are tailored to my students' needs. That's why I ask for the lessons to be paid per 10 hours in advance. Lessons can be cancelled up to 24 hours before each planned lesson. Late cancels are charged at 100%.
