What benefits you get from my Teaching classes:

1) I am not very strict when it comes to extra time. We can extend a bit. +10 mins is no problem. I always think that long sessions with small pauses are better so that you get a grip of the topic.

2) I can teach in group as well as alone , what suits you best. In case you are out for a break and don't want to lag behind in comparison to what is going on in school we, can have some back to back classes in short time, if that suits you.

Teaching has been a long time passion for me. I have taught already some candidates (look testimonials below) and during my colleges days I have held classes with several group of students. After moving to University I was also delivering sessions for my classmates from different parts of the world and I was in-charge of specific experiment for Bachelors and Masters students as well for a year.

Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities.

Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.

I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Mastering English at a proficiency level is a useful skill for everyone around the world. With my expertise in English and teaching English, I will help you achieve your language goals.
I have been teaching ESL for 6 years now and I know how to tailor the lessons and materials for each individual student. I know what most students struggle with when it comes to English grammar or writing an essay and I have learnt to explain the material in such a simple manner so that the students can have a full understanding of the information. The practical approach during the lessons helps students get ready not only for the exams but also for the stress during exams. Progress tests given after each material assess student's understanding of the information discussed.
The classes are designed for students ranging from "pre-intermediate" to "advanced". Based on your specific requirements, we will be studying English grammar, vocabulary, writing and listening skills, will be preparing for the exams, IELTS, Business English, just Speaking or everything mentioned. You will have a clear understanding of the material and will be given extra exercises to practise at home. I conduct lessons in English, Russian or Armenian, preferably on Skype, as I believe it is a very convenient format of education nowadays.
Should you have any questions regarding the educational process - just ask me! I am here to help you improve your English skills and acquire the desired qualifications.

English and Dutch in particular and languages in general are my passion and I am passionate to inspire others to improve their language skills.

I am currently teaching English at a secondary school in Eindhoven.
I have got the NT2 diploma and I can teach Dutch to expats and foreigners.
I come from Vietnam and I would like also to teach Vietnamese to people who want to learn and to know more about Vietnamese language and culture.


Some quotes that I like:
"Do you know what a foreign accent is? It’s a sign of bravery." – Amy Chua"
'A different language is a different vision of life." – Federico Fellini
"Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can; there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did." – Sarah Caldwell

Qualities that I would like to see in my students: commitment and practice.
- Learning a language is like learning a musical instrument. “Commitment is way more important than natural talent"
- Learning a language is like running a marathon. “You don’t wake up one day and think: ‘Dude, I’m totally going to run the marathon of Los Angeles today.’ No, running a marathon or any significant distance requires practice and a healthy lifestyle.”

My qualifications:
- Pre-master of English language and culture, Radboud University, Nijmegen
- Master of English Teaching at University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University, Hanoi
- Master of Development Studies, University of Melbourne, Australia
- NT2 (Dutch as a second languag programme II) diploma
My work experience
- English lessons to secondary students in the Netherlands for 2 years
- English lessons to individuals and classes for about 10 years

Engels en Nederlands in het bijzonder en talen in het algemeen zijn mijn passie en ik inspireer graag anderen om hun taalvaardigheden te verbeteren.
Ik heb het NT2 diploma en ik kan Nederlandse les geven aan expats en buitenlanders.
Ik kom uit Vietnam en ik zou ook graag Vietnamees willen leren aan mensen die dat willen en meer willen weten over de Vietnamese taal en cultuur.


Eigenschappen die ik graag zou zien bij mijn studenten: INZET en OEFENING.
- Het leren van een taal is als het leren van een muziekinstrument. "Betrokkenheid is veel belangrijker dan natuurlijk talent"
- Het leren van een taal is als het lopen van een marathon. "Je wordt op een dag niet wakker en denkt:‘ Kerel, ik ga vandaag helemaal de marathon van Los Angeles lopen. ’Nee, het lopen van een marathon of een grote afstand vereist oefening en een gezonde levensstijl."

Mijn kwalificaties:
- Pre-master Engelse taal en cultuur, Radboud Universiteit, Nijmegen
- Master of English Teaching aan de Universiteit voor Talen en Internationale Studies, Vietnam Nationale Universiteit, Hanoi
- Master in ontwikkelingsstudies, Universiteit van Melbourne, Australië
- NT2 (Nederlands als tweede taal programma II) diploma

Who is actually the tutor?
I am Michael and with my 54 years a lot of life experience but also experience as a (1st degree) teacher in Mathematics and Physics. My 3 children aged 12 to 18 also make sure that I know how to deal with this interesting but sometimes difficult to understand target group 😏. I have taught at all levels from VMBO 2 to VWO 6 and HBO.
Benefits 1 on 1 tutoring
1 on 1 tutoring has the great advantage that the tutor can efficiently zoom in on the specific needs of the student. Results are therefore visible in a much shorter period of time. A result can be higher test results and more confidence in the subject during lessons or doing homework. The result is often that the student no longer looks forward to the subject and even starts to like the subject. In short: it's all about experiencing a successful experience.
Activating work forms
A student learns best when he or she is actively involved with the material. That is why it is important that every student is actively involved during the tutoring. This applies in particular to science subjects such as Mathematics and Physics. The tutor can therefore better emphasize coaching the student and encourage the student to do as much as possible for themselves. This ensures that the student starts thinking independently about the material. So we go through the process together.
Beta subjects
For science subjects such as Physics and Mathematics, 3 competencies are particularly important; knowledge, understanding and skills. There are working methods for improving all three competences. So there are opportunities for every student to improve. During the intake lesson it is determined which of the 3 competences (or more) needs the most attention.

- 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"

Hello, my name is Zeynep!

I am a mathematician with a doctoral degree. After completing my postdoc, I am currently focused on acquiring new skills while continuing to teach.

Teaching has always been my passion throughout my academic career. I have 16 years of experience, starting with private tutoring for school children during my undergraduate studies and eventually teaching at the university level to a diverse range of students. I am capable of teaching at all levels, from elementary concepts to specialized topics.

In Turkey, I guided many high school students through their International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, helping them gain admission to highly prestigious universities in the UK, Italy, and Switzerland. Some of these students later became colleagues, pursuing academic careers themselves—a gratifying experience!

I currently work in the Netherlands with students from various backgrounds, including HAVO students who follow the Dutch curriculum, international students enrolled in the IB program, and high school or bachelor's students from around the globe, all engaging in remote learning. I am also learning Dutch and am currently at an A2 to B1 level. I teach in English while incorporating Dutch terminology to enhance clarity. My experience has shown that the language barrier can easily be overcome when it comes to math. For example, I recently helped a student improve their grade from 5.8 to an impressive 8.4 in just five months.

At the higher education level, I have taught several calculus courses (both single and multivariable) and linear algebra for students in engineering, natural sciences (biology, physics), computer science, and administrative sciences. Additionally, I have taught more theoretical courses for mathematics students, such as set theory, real analysis, linear algebra, and number theory.

My approach is customized to meet your specific needs while ensuring you fully understand the concepts, methods, and reasoning involved. Together, we will work on improving your ability to identify logical patterns and find solutions within the framework of your curriculum. I am here to support you in achieving your academic goals, whether it is for assignments, tests, or presentations.

Feel free to contact me for a meeting if you are seeking assistance with your math learning. Let's see if we can find a good match!

- 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"

Hello, my name is Zeynep!

I am a mathematician with a doctoral degree. After completing my postdoc, I am currently focused on acquiring new skills while continuing to teach.

Teaching has always been my passion throughout my academic career. I have 16 years of experience, starting with private tutoring for school children during my undergraduate studies and eventually teaching at the university level to a diverse range of students. I am capable of teaching at all levels, from elementary concepts to specialized topics.

In Turkey, I guided many high school students through their International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, helping them gain admission to highly prestigious universities in the UK, Italy, and Switzerland. Some of these students later became colleagues, pursuing academic careers themselves—a gratifying experience!

I currently work in the Netherlands with students from various backgrounds, including HAVO students who follow the Dutch curriculum, international students enrolled in the IB program, and high school or bachelor's students from around the globe, all engaging in remote learning. I am also learning Dutch and am currently at an A2 to B1 level. I teach in English while incorporating Dutch terminology to enhance clarity. My experience has shown that the language barrier can easily be overcome when it comes to math. For example, I recently helped a student improve their grade from 5.8 to an impressive 8.4 in just five months.

At the higher education level, I have taught several calculus courses (both single and multivariable) and linear algebra for students in engineering, natural sciences (biology, physics), computer science, and administrative sciences. Additionally, I have taught more theoretical courses for mathematics students, such as set theory, real analysis, linear algebra, and number theory.

My approach is customized to meet your specific needs while ensuring you fully understand the concepts, methods, and reasoning involved. Together, we will work on improving your ability to identify logical patterns and find solutions within the framework of your curriculum. I am here to support you in achieving your academic goals, whether it is for assignments, tests, or presentations.

Feel free to contact me for a meeting if you are seeking assistance with your math learning. Let's see if we can find a good match!
