Guidance in (scientific) writing and communication.

Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results.

From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally.

In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student.

I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in:

- Setup and planning

- Doing literature study

- Quality assurance

- Presentation and structure/content

- Popularizing the topics with catchy texts

- Review with a critical look

- Give layout and design input

- And much more

Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!

About Me

Hello,

I’m Rico. I entered MBO level 2 (lowest Dutch education level) without qualifications and worked my way up to a bachelor’s and master’s in physics and astronomy at the University of Amsterdam. I recently completed my PhD there in December 2023. I live with my girlfriend and two dogs in IJburg, Amsterdam, where we enjoy our time. I understand the challenges of learning, especially when the material is poorly explained. With 15 years of experience, I’m here to help you achieve your goals, providing tutoring for high school students and guiding bachelor’s and master’s projects in physics at the University of Amsterdam.

Education

MBO ICT employee, MBO level 4 marketing and communication, HBO International Business and Management Studies propaedeutics, Bachelor's and Master's in physics and astronomy, and a Ph.D. in astrophysics.

Experience / Qualifications

I specialize in physics and astronomy, sustainable energy, mathematics, and programming, particularly in:

- Calculus
- Python
- Classical mechanics and relativity
- Electromagnetism
- (Linear) algebra
- Quantum mechanics
- Atomic physics
- General astrophysics
- Multivariable analysis
- Vibrations, waves, and optics
- Black holes and compact stars
- Differential calculus
- Hydrodynamics
- C++, Fortran, LaTeX, etc.
- Bachelor's and master's thesis guidance

Creating a good foundation for the exact courses is useful for everyone. It is especially essential that the teacher is skilled and didactic in building the knowledge. I myself experienced that this was missing when I transferred from MBO level 2 to a Ph.D in physics at the University of Amsterdam. I would like to make a difference and send you on your way with a dose of self-confidence to the wonderful world of mathematics, physics and astronomy. For all secondary school levels and higher education, I can guide you with a plan to increase your knowledge and get the best out of yourself for both tests, exams and exams and deepening out of interest.

Learn Dutch fast or improve it in a playful way (webcam)
As a creative copy professional and philosopher, I see every lesson as an experiment. To keep us both on the edge of our seats, I continuously explore new ways of teaching that fit your specific needs. Feel tempted? Book your first lesson and get one extra! Doubts? Dutch might feel a little violent to a delicate mouth in the beginning. But once you get passed that, a sea of inspiring and quirky new ways to express yourself will open up. To help you move beyond that hump, I will adjust my lessons to your personal passions and interests, including your specific reasons to speak and/or write in this language right now. Two kids that are roughly the same level can share one webcam lesson of one-hour minimum. Keep in mind that we will stay online for at least 15 minutes extra, as young ones will need at least two 5 minute breaks.

Presentation Skills - Speaking, Interview, and Presentation Preparation
Do you have to give a presentation in English but are struggling with anxiety on how to deliver something exciting? Many people benefit from confidence boosters when giving a presentation, be it for work, school, or even an interview. My lessons focus on building confident delivery and coherent presentations, delivering and responding to interview questions, and general public speaking for work or school. I have a PhD from Leiden University in The Netherlands, and over the course of my years there I gave presentations all over the world on my research to crowds ranging from 20 to 1000 people. I have also worked in a theatre setting as a producer for almost 10 years, and these two worlds combined have allowed to come up with a formula to help you shake off any nerves and get excited about standing up in front of an engaged audience.

Being aware of emotions allows better management of behavior in human relationships, both in the professional, private, entrepreneurial framework (...).
