With over four years Mathematics teaching experience in mixed ability classes I am able to adapt to whatever level of understanding my students have in the subject. Lessons only available in English unfortunately, I am still learning Dutch.

"Dad, Mom, I got it all, and yet I don't have enough! How is that possible?" or this: "I don't get it at all and the teacher doesn't explain anything!".
Does this sound familiar? What about the difficult subjects like mathematics, physics and chemistry ?!
Don't worry: everyone can learn these courses. So you too!

Do you seriously want good study coaching and are you prepared to really do something about it? I have extensive experience and can quickly identify your challenges. As a self-employed person, I have been tutoring for 5 years through 'Boeja, tutoring Eye in All'.
I know the different (book) methods that the Utrecht schools use.
And I have already made so many mistakes myself that I immediately recognize them in you .... ;-).
Did you know that a large part of your math errors are due to sloppy use of minus sign and (parentheses) use?

At your pace I will coach you in understanding the material and independently solving the issues. We will also work extensively on your skills and accuracy.
During a tutoring / inventory we identify your tutoring needs and which frequency fits best. With more than 3 hours per month, the hourly rate drops.
Level: VMBO, HAVO, VWO, HBO. GMAT too.

As a flight instructor I also give practical and theoretical flying lessons.

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.

Learning the fundamentals of writing and composing English text can help you advance in your studies and professional career, especially if you deal with international communication, academic research, or public speaking. The principles taught here apply to any modern language.

This class is designed to develop students' understanding of professional writing, academic language, essays, proposals, critical analysis, and stylistic structures. The focus is primarily on grammar, structures, arguments, audiences, purpose, context, and formatting (where necessary). In addition, you will have the chance to explore the basics of literary analysis.

I live in the Netherlands and study in the USA (by distance-learning methods). I also work as a writer and editor for several American and British corporations, which helps me stay up to date with the evolution of the English language. Usually, my students are university students, but I am willing to help anyone who wants to improve their linguistic skills.

I have experience with children and teenagers of all levels in different situations. If you are interested, you can always contact us without obligation.

My language lessons are always tailored to the student. I provide interaction, the pupil will be encouraged from the start to experiment with the Dutch language, always within the pupil's own perception of the world, so that what is learned is placed in a personal context and automatically supplemented with elements that are specific to the pupil.
I have a number of fine methodologies at my disposal, but I also work with ease with material that the pupil has brought from school or from home, or else will select material to measure.
I have been teaching Dutch as a second language for 20 years and have a master's degree in education with a specialization in learning disabilities.

I specialize in teaching Greek to beginners and intermediate students, providing them the foundation to master this difficult language. I cover topics such as word order, grammar, spoken vs. written Greek, conversational and every day Greek, as well as spelling, writing, and pronunciation. Each class can be tailored to the students individual needs. This class is for anybody who just wants to improve speaking/writing, as well as for those just starting out.

Greek is a language that is increasingly spoken, and is useful in many aspects of life, including but not limited to: biology, geometry, medical terminology, etc. With Greece's economy growing, it is an ideal destination to move either as an expat, digital nomad, or as a startup company. I look forward to helping you on your journey of acquiring this language!

I have been a tutor for Spanish and French in the past, I am fluent in both. I like to focus more on conversation but I am happy to adapt to preparation for an exam or help with homework for school. I am also fluent in English, I study my bachelor in English. However, I do not speak dutch.

Hi! My name is Storm, I study Philosophy Politics and Economics at the Vu in Amsterdam. I give homework guidance in all subjects for all levels, except superstructure nature and technology subjects and mathematics B, I also tutor music! In addition, I also guide students with their projects, planning school tasks and other school matters.
I have a lot of passion for teaching and am only satisfied when I can really help someone. I have also been doing this for a year in Utrecht before and have already helped a few children pass/pass over.

I tailor my tutoring and classes to the needs of each student. As a Native French speaker and student in Linguistics I use different approaches and methods to make learning French enjoyable and efficient. In each class, we will focus on a specific aspect of the French language, whether it is pronouncing a certain sound or understanding a certain grammatical phenomenon, in a way that builds on the strengths and is challenging to the student.

The class is dynamic and personalized depending on the age and level of the student. As a student, I understand that sometimes theory is overwhelming, which is why I organize my lessons so that the student stays motivated. I also try to do activities to keep the class entertaining.

Since the Gymnasium I give tutoring Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Latin and language courses Latin languages Portuguese Spanish French and Italian from basic or beginner level to Gymnasium level. For primary school students also arithmetic for example with fractions and percentages and all other modules. Also Dutch grammar and spelling.
