About Me
I am currently enrolled as a medical student at Yale University with years of experience helping students of all levels reach their academic potential. My teaching style is very much focused on helping clients understand the why behind a specific problem first. We always start with the big picture and then dive into the details that make a specific topic interesting. Science, english, and test prep can be complex and daunting topics for anyone but with the right guide and framework, studying can be a rewarding experience through which we can transform weaknesses into strengths.Personal fun fact: Following my bachelor's degree, I was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the Major League Baseball draft where I competed for 3 years before attending medical school at Yale.

Learn Dutch in a short time - experienced coach (22 years of experience) State exam NT2 trainer - inspired to teach Dutch to expatsA qualified language coach with 24 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.
I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.
In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).
We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!
You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.
My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.
Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.
This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.
Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1
As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.
I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.
Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 24 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.
I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.

English Communication/Conversation With an Experienced Native-Speaking TeacherI'm a native English speaker from Canada, currently living in Prague, with many years of ESL and university teaching experience. I can help you gain confidence and improve skills through stimulating, content-based lessons with varieties of topics, activities and materials, designed and adapted to your level, interests, and requirements, and what you and I together feel we want and need to work on flexibly week by week.
I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, and including improving vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading.
My teaching style is engaging, creative and friendly—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students enjoy primarily having conversation without other resources needed, but I also often use songs, videos, and texts of various kinds to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and I also use varieties of ESL material from various internet sources as well.

Marthe
An enthusiastic and hard working French and English TutorHalf German living in Brussels and having studied in an International School, I am fluent in French, English and German.
I am currently doing my masters in Rotterdam at RSM and would like to offer French and/or English classes to students. I believe communicating with students in the language they would like to learn is key if they want to become confident in the language. Hence, I suggest doing skype classes or real life meetings at home or outdoors depending on your preferences and talking together will be very helpful for the student to improve in a particular language. I will also help with homework, grammar and the theoretical side of the language if desired.
I have been a counsellor in summer camps in Canada where I had to teach small children aged from 5-15 English. Some of them didn't even know a single word of English when they arrived. It was very hard but we managed to get to know each other, communicate well and believe me, their English improved a lot.

Conversational class in English as Second LanguageThe aim of this course is to increase fluency, confidence, use of language and pronunciation in order to improve your language skills.
I offer explanations of Grammatical topics, expansion of vocabulary and tips for pronunciation in order to improve the ability to be understood!
The best way to know a language is through exposition, therefore only English will be spoken in class.

Private tutoring (advice) Science Exact! - Cognitive, Gifted persons guidance, personal growth, social growth!customer-specific choice growth, what a person needs, the process will last at least 6 weeks for a pattern of growth, it is very normal if you grow and you continue for 6 weeks then it is a habit!
Minimum Period 6 weeks for effective growth. It's also fine to help out or watch once or occasionally. Maximum duration 1-2 years only in consultation.
I see people very well how and what is needed purely to offer a person or child what is essential for development, I am an engineer by nature, actually focused in business life on global developments based on new science Artificial Intelligence + Mathematics , but this way of thinking is useful to create something from point A to point B, so that point B results in the expected value pattern that is desired.
Very important!
I am very adaptable in terms of ability, so I can implement what is needed into a realization process value.
Normally also taught a lot in the past, cognitive level method:
Domain work, for example, a book value, for each chapter I make a preparatory analysis of what that domain chapter entails, then I convey this to the child or adult, at the end of that session briefly define a concise learning perspective of yes, what have we learned and I wanted to say and convey effectively, during the session I also immediately make an inventory of how the reaction policy is acting, in advance I define certain homework statements based on the material in a totalitarian way, but determine on the basis of direct analysis what is feasible and what I set as a requirement, what is also being developed further, is always advantageous but not immediately necessary.
Then in the following session I deal with the homework, ask the person very carefully and also make statements of puzzles for personal insight and awareness of one's own abilities, certain homework attributes after a scan where I can see based on the information what direct urgency is involved. I immediately make a copy of the remaining material value, collect this to see if there are errors or whether it is feasible immediately or at a later stage. Make an overview and keep a plot of growth. Periodically I will test certain issues with a ratio policy of frequency based on a minimum of 6 weeks of time, then a short evaluation test every two weeks.
Rates per hour. Can be discussed if this is too expensive, let's take a look.
To transport to location I charge a small fee depending on the distance, approximately €10 - max. €20
Available after consultation

Homework guidance/Prive lessons MAVO/HAVO/VWO AND PRIMARY SCHOOLUnderachieve?
Getting low grades and not knowing why?
No motivation to study?
It is often difficult for parents to estimate whether the child needs tutoring. And if it is certain that the child needs tutoring, 9 out of 10 times it is too late (stay put, advice too low, etc..)
to prevent this, sign up NOW for homework guidance!
for both high school and elementary school students.
I can come to the tutoring student myself (at home) or via facetime, teams and video calling.
