My name is Arjen. I tutor and give exam training in math and physics for upper secondary education (Dutch HAVO/VWO, IB, or other similar programmes). As an Aerospace Engineer, I help students not only with solving problems, but especially with understanding the “why” behind the theory.

I start with a short diagnosis: where is the real difficulty? Based on this, I create a personal learning plan that I share with the student. In this way we work in a focused way on those areas where most is to be gained. During the sessions, the focus is on recognizing structure and analyzing problems step by step, so that students become more independent and their confidence gets a boost.

In my explanations, I regularly use examples from technology and engineering. By linking abstract theory to real applications, it becomes clearer where the mathematics or physics comes from and what it is needed for, and things often suddenly “click”.

I can give lessons both at home and via an online connection. In the latter case, I do this using a tablet, allowing you to follow my explanations and examples live on your screen.

After the the lessons, I create personal practice exercises when needed, tailored to the student’s level and learning goals. In this way, we work not only towards better results in the short term, but also towards a strong foundation for future studies.

My Teaching Methodology & Techniques
I believe that no two students learn the same way, which is why my teaching approach is highly personalized, interactive, and student-centered:
Conceptual Clarity over Memorization: I focus heavily on helping students understand the "why" behind mathematical formulas and scientific concepts rather than just memorizing steps. Whether we are breaking down complex equations or analyzing physical laws, I use real-world engineering and practical examples to bring the theory to life.
Structured Interactive Tools: For online lessons, I utilize high-quality digital whiteboards, optimized lighting configurations, and clear visual setups to replicate a live classroom feel perfectly. This ensures that our sessions are highly engaging, and steps can be visually tracked in real-time.
Exam-Focused Preparation: For students preparing for standardized international tests like the SAT or IGCSE, I employ a data-driven approach. We work through past questions, break down marking schemes, and master time-management techniques so there are no surprises on exam day.
Patience and Adaptability: Drawing from my training in special education, I adapt my pacing to match the student's unique learning curve. I create a supportive, judgment-free environment where questions are always welcomed and mistakes are viewed as valuable milestones in the learning process.
Whether you are looking to boost your grades, prepare for an upcoming international exam, or fill in foundational gaps in math and science, I am here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s work together to achieve your academic goals!
