Support in exact subjects at every level of education (also for deepening out of interest) by a Ph.D in astrophysics.

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.

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
- Offering tutoring and education.
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!

Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning. My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention. I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood. Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home. Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth. As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success. I foster an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. This curiosity drives deeper understanding and encourages a proactive approach to learning. By incorporating games, puzzles, and interesting activities, I ensure that learning remains fun and engaging, keeping students excited about the subjects. Join my Foundation Course in Science and Maths and watch your child develop a strong foundation, confidence, and a genuine love for these essential subjects. Let’s work together to achieve academic excellence and make learning a fun and rewarding experience. “Excel in Subjects, Soar in Confidence!”

"Maths on tips" in easy ways for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels
Maths is a subject that requires clarity of concepts. Sometimes it happens that our basic concepts are not clear thats why we are not able to solve questions efficiently. I'll be discussing with you where exactly you are, will come to your level, and then take you up with me from there. I am a teacher with whom you can ask any basic silly concept to any complex one. COURSE OUTLINE: * Foundation of Mathematics * Basic concepts in Mathematics * Algebra and Trigonometry * Elementary statistics * Modern Geometry * Calculus * Differential Equations This is an outline of the course. Apart from this, if you have any doubt on any particular topic, you can obviously clear that concept with me. Let's start and make it fun.

Math tutoring for children: I will make your children excited about math
My perspective is that if a child enjoys learning, they are the most motivated and most successful. Therefore, I try to teach in a way that the children actually enjoy and are excited about coming to my tutoring. I really enjoy teaching and I believe that sometimes kids just need more encouraging words and playful ways to learn.

Timen
Mathematics A&B and Physics Tutor ■ Since 2012 ■ Hundreds of good results
--> Lessons are 50 minutes instead of the shown duration of 45 minutes. <-- - Highly experienced full-time tutor of mathematics A&B and physics since 2012. - Hundreds of good results (recently helped a student with an average grade of 3-4 achieve a 9 within a few lessons, and had someone get a 9.5/10 for the first time). - Holds university Master's degree in Applied Physics. - Co-authored 3 scientific papers. - 2 years work experience in high tech industry (ASML). - Did internship at American institute (NOAA). - Highly experienced in helping students of all high school levels including final exams, and (university) entrance tests, such as OMPT, Boswell, CCVX, WisCAT, among others. - Can also help with general mathematics and physics university courses. After working in the corporate world, I went back to my passion - tutoring. This is something I have a natural talent for, and I love helping students achieve their goals. I tutor in a calm and patient manner. I can empathize well with the student's thought process: through my experience I know what the most common pitfalls are and can quickly see where the gaps in knowledge are. The emphasis during tutor sessions is placed on the student being able to apply the material, so that the student goes to class and to exams with confidence. My friendly, understanding nature allows me to create a comfortable environment where students feel free to ask as many questions as needed. A few (translated) reviews: ________ "My daughter Lisa received 5 physics tutoring sessions from Timen, which were very helpful to her. Timen is very good at painting an overall picture of a task which made the material much more comprehensible to her. Initially she had a 6.8 for her VWO school exam, in the end she got an 8.8 for her central written exam!" - Yvonne ________ "I took 6 lessons with Timen and in that time he taught me the basic rules of mathematics, the subject I had to pass for my pre-master. And I succeeded. Timen is able to explain clearly and comes up with a lot of good and simple examples, so that you can understand the basics and then move on. Also, he is often available, so I could get 2 extra lessons just before my exam for the last questions I had." - Jens ________ "I had tutoring for my pre-master's at the University of Groningen. Timen is very patient and can explain well. I completed the subject with a passing grade, and am very happy with that! I only had a few lessons, but this helped a lot." - A. ________ "I am pursuing a pre-master's degree at RUG and received tutor sessions from Timen on average twice a week and eventually completed the course with a nine. Timen is very patient and very knowledgeable. He adapted well to the teaching style that suited me best. In addition, he respected the fact that I was still a real beginner in math. He indicates well his limits in what he can/can't help in. Highly recommended!" - Sascha ________ "I am very satisfied with Timen. He gave me intensive tutoring in math for 8 weeks. Experiences: - Patient, committed tutoring teacher - Keeps appointments and is available a lot - Good value for money - Adapts his explanations to your level and your way of thinking - Explains from multiple perspectives." - Iris ________ "I had been struggling with Physics at university for some time. Thanks to Timen's support, I learned how to approach the problems in a manner that made them much simpler to solve. Because of this, I performed very well in my exam!" - Nadir ________ "Timen gave our son 3 months of online tutoring in math and physics. His teaching style was perceived as knowledgeable and pleasant. This contributed to an improvement in understanding of the material and positive intermediate test results with eventually two passes on the final list to advance to the exam year. Thank you Timen!" - Carla ________ "For the past few months Timen has been helping our son with his math. Because of Timen's tutoring he now has a nice passing grade again. Timen explains well, is patient and very helpful. Timen certainly shows sufficient knowledge of the subject. The communication with Timen about appointments is also pleasant. A real professional as far as we are concerned." - Erik ________ "Timen has helped our son to get the right insights and knowledge of mathematics. By, with great patience, working together with a positive approach and clear explanations. This gave our son knowledge and skills but also confidence. Since Timen's lessons not a single failing grade in math anymore!" - Wally ________ "We were at our wit's end..... Our son Jason was always our math prodigy in elementary school and all of a sudden in high school (havo/mavo) things went completely wrong. He had always worked hard, studied a lot and still only got poor grades. His self-confidence had already plummeted. Then we went looking for someone for math tutoring, we wanted to try to pull out all the stops. We ended up (fortunately) with Timen. Jason has so far had 8x tutoring sessions with Timen and see there......of grades like 4.1/2.9/4.3 today Jason came home with 9 (!!!!) Timen can explain very well in a very calm, clear way. Their have a good click with each other and Jason has completely regained his confidence thanks Timen. We are going to give it an extra push again before the final test and we have full confidence that Timen will prepare him well for it. THANK YOU TIMEN" - Jasmin

Secondary School Mathematics: Get more practice and get better at Math !
Mathematics is a challenging subject for many Secondary School students. However, with the right guidance and an appropriate amount of practice, the students will eventually be able to make sense of Math and become better at it. This will be my job, to guide the students to a point where they understand the Mathematical topics they learn at school and be able to solve their homework exercises and pass their tests.
