Homework support is about more than just learning to plan well.
It is about; how do I learn which subject best, and how do I properly absorb the learning objectives.

It is important to always keep the big picture in mind.
Ultimately, you want to pass the test or exam.

In order to achieve these goals, I provide structure and usually start with a clear planning from hour to hour, in which I also take into account sufficient breaks, because this is also an essential part.
In addition to planning, we look at what works best for the student per subject. Everyone is different and learns in their own way. Together we can see which learning method fits best.
We also look at whether we can minimize external stimuli as much as possible.

About Me
Hello!

I am Sjoerd, 38 years young, and I live in beautiful Bokhoven.
My main interest is nature, followed by the environment. The coherence of processes in nature is fascinating. For this reason I started following my current study four years ago. I hope to be able to use this to conduct research into, for example, the consequences of climate change on the resistance of plants.

Volunteer work and hobbies:
In addition to my studies, I am still actively designing and setting up a well-known food forest.
At the Open University I am a buddy of someone with a disability, and I am also a student member of the education committee.

My favorite hobby is in my backyard; the vegetable garden. I like doing this, and you also enjoy being outside.
It might be nice to know that I also do salsa dancing.

My motivation is to help students take their test or exam with confidence. I like it and it gives me satisfaction to see that a student really understands the material. In addition to explaining, it is also important to carefully examine whether the way of explaining helps the student. If not, I will try to find another way to transfer the fabric.

The tutoring I give depends on the type of question. I can best convey a broader subject by first explaining this subject broadly (broad coherence) after which we can go into greater depth if desired. I like to explain specific topics or sums step by step, if necessary with an educational video. Videos can sometimes make the substance easier to absorb.

I think it's important that the student keeps the higher goal in mind when tutoring homework. Important to create are: discipline, structure, motivation and perseverance. Clear planning can help with this.

I will always keep the school book. Sometimes the student likes it when I mark specific questions, and in turn I can show which questions are especially important to know the material well.
I am available on request, both in the evening and during the day (including weekends).
Education
At the moment i follow environmental science at the university. Before that i was on the high school. Here is this the basic high school voor everyone. I also followed a course about insects and flowers and their interaction.
Experience / Qualifications
One year experience with giving the extra lessons in biology and homework support. It is nice to see how students make progress over time, and get good results at their tests. I give structure at organizing the homework and let them be aware of how important school really is.

I teach geography for lower secondary education havo and vwo, and lower and upper secondary education for vmbo.
Because of my current study, which is very broadly focused on climate change, weather models and geological processes in the earth's crust (geology), I already know quite a lot about this.

I already have (due to my current job) experience in teaching biology.
