My name is Daniela. I am half German and half Mexican and lived the past nine years in the Netherlands to study International Relations and Environmental Studies. I truly enjoy traveling, learning new languages, spending time in nature. I have always been passionate about languages and connecting with people from different cultures through them. Spanish and German are my mother tongues. I also speak English fluently and have a good level of Dutch and French. Therefore, I can explain grammatical concepts and vocabulary in these languages too.

I have always enjoyed teaching and participating in language exchanges. I gave private lessons in German to students of secondary and high school for several years. I have a teacher's certificate for Spanish as a foreign language and am pursuing my Master in Language Teaching. I have taught Spanish at different language Institutes for several years and always continued with German lessons too.

I would be happy to help you improve your German, by focusing on your specific objectives as well as preferred way of learning. Personally, I like taking mainly a conversational approach. Practicing speaking and listening tends to be the best way to master a language. Besides this I can also explain the grammar and prepare exercises. For each class I like to focus on a specific topic and introduce a bit of grammar and vocabulary in a dynamic way and that is based on your interests.

About Me
My name is Dani. I am half Mexican and half German. I grew up in both countries and came to the Netherlands for my studies.

I have always given private Spanish and German lessons and discovered that languages and teaching are truly my passion. That is why I completed a Spanish teacher training course in Spain and taught at a language institute. Now I teach at Taalinstituut Fuentes here in the Netherlands, as well as private lessons, and I love it very much.

A bit more about myself: I am quite open-minded and easy-going and have a curious mind. Teaching and being in contact with so many different people has shown me that I can also learn a lot from my students. I love being in nature, travelling, cooking (and especially eating), skating, and dancing salsa. And as I mentioned I´m quite passionate about languages, so at the moment I am learning italian and trying to improve my french and Dutch :)

I studied my undergraduate International Relations with a focus on Latin American regional studies. I did my Master in Water Management.

My name is Dani and I am Mexican. I always ask my students about their specific goals and their preferred way of learning a language. In my classes I like to take a conversational approach, but this depends entirely on the needs of my students. I use different books with different didactic material, mostly Aula Plus and Bitacora. I also try to practice all skills: talking, writing and listening. If the student wants it, I leave homework, which I correct during the week before the next lesson, so that we can make the most of the lesson time. I share a word or phrase of the week with my students to build a useful vocabulary. Teaching is my passion. I feel motivated by the progress of my students, which I believe also keeps them motivated. German and Spanish are my native languages and I speak fluent English, I also speak fluent Dutch (with a little accent). Therefore, I can explain concepts in all these languages. However, I prefer to speak Spanish as much as possible, also for the beginners lessons, because I believe that people learn the language better that way.

I have a FPELE certificate: Spanish as a Foreign Language Teacher Training. And I have taught A1 to B2 level at a language institute in Spain.

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.

As an American with a C1 Goethe-Institut certificate in German, I understand the long journey of learning this difficult language! I can help you wherever you are on your German path, from the basics to complex grammar, from understanding everyday language to working on your pronunciation.

I have spent time carefully collecting resources that help native English speakers...for example, things that help with speech rhythm and accentuation...which not a lot of teachers teach, but which make a huge difference. In any case, I can custom-tailor our lessons based on your needs.

German is often perceived as a complex language, but it is above all a logical and powerful tool for boosting your career or traveling with confidence in Europe. Whether you are a complete beginner or want to refresh your knowledge, I have designed this course as a practical immersion to break down the language barrier.

You will learn to construct correct sentences from the very first lessons, master pronunciation, and understand key grammatical structures without getting bogged down in theory. Together, we will work on real-life scenarios (daily life, professional settings) so that you can express yourself with confidence and fluency.
