Teaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

Learning to program can be a big challenge, especially if you have to do it alone. There are plenty of videos or documentation to be found, but where do you start? Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees.

With my experience in programming, mainly in the language C# and framework .NET, and the many years of experience in supervising students, this is an ideal combination in offering guidance in programming.

Are you a high school or high school student and have difficulty understanding and solving math or physics problems? Then I am someone who would like to help you with that. I often see that in standard classroom teaching is succinctly taught. As a result, the student misses out on the whole picture, making the teaching material and the problems vague and unclear. My goal is to take the time for each student to complete the whole picture and guide them through complex problems, so that the student can not only take tests and exams with ease, but also enjoy learning the material.

Is your printer refusing to work with your computer again? Are you stuck with a weird error that no one on the forums seems to understand? Or maybe you have an ancient device that stores priceless data, but no modern system will talk to it? That’s where I come in - call me your digital detective.

I specialize in solving the kinds of tech problems most people walk away from—legacy hardware, software compatibility issues, obscure drivers, and cryptic error messages. Whether it’s a memory leak in a 20-year-old Palm PDA or making two completely unrelated systems communicate, I’ve been there and I've fixed that.

If your setup is unique, outdated, or just plain broken, I’ll treat it like a puzzle worth solving. Tech archeology meets modern ingenuity. I’m also happy to travel and work on-site if needed—sometimes the only way to truly understand a system is to sit down with it in person.
“Legacy systems fear him. Devs envy him. Managers don’t understand him.” - one of my clients, probably.
