I specialise in English (British & American) tuition for native and non-native speakers of all ages, and have experience working with:
• young children learning English for the first time
• primary- and secondary-school students studying the English language and its literatures
• adult professionals and seniors wishing to improve their language skills, or develop pronunciation or presentational skills

I have two degrees in English language and literature (B.A. and Mst) from the University of Oxford, and I am also a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) Diploma program. I've developed a creative approach in my sessions with students that involves applying a student's particular talents and interests (regardless of subject) in the process of language acquisition, along with the simultaneous development of critical skills like close and careful reading, argumentation, written style, and effective communication.

I am versed in the requirements and intricacies of a range of national and international diploma programs. When working with students supplementing an academic syllabus, my goal is always to position them to succeed in the assignments and assessments laid out by a primary instructor.

During my studies in Econometrics at the University of Amsterdam (graduated in 2015, MSc.) and in addition to my job as a consultant, I have always taught mathematics and statistics to secondary school students and university students (HBO and WO) with great pleasure. Since 2017 I have assisted students from different study backgrounds (from civil engineering to psychology) with writing their thesis and since 2022 I work parttime as a math teacher and educational advisor in the Emma Children's Hospital in Amsterdam and I teach private students.

Lessons can be taught in English or Dutch and face-to-face or online, depending on the location.

Location face-to-face classes: Citizen M Amsterdam, at your home or in the public library.

Have you dreamt of reading Shakespeare and making sense of his words ? Did you know that some Shakespearian plays are easier to tackle than others ? In this class we will be looking at one of Shakespeare's fantasy comedies or one of his tragedies. We will read the play together and discuss the usage of words, as well as its historical contexts. We will study the most important passages in the way they have influenced world culture. I encourage my students to memorise these passages by heart, a gratifying experience.

Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results.

From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally.

In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student.

I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in:

- Setup and planning

- Doing literature study

- Quality assurance

- Presentation and structure/content

- Popularizing the topics with catchy texts

- Review with a critical look

- Give layout and design input

- And much more

Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!

Writing a strong, well-structured essay is a skill that takes time and guidance to perfect. Whether you're struggling with argumentation, structuring, clarity, or just need someone to proofread and refine your work, I’m here to help.

After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL with top marks (7s in HL Essays and IO) and achieving High Distinction (80+/100) in my university writing, I know what it takes to craft essays that are clear, persuasive, and academically strong. In this class, I will help you with everything from brainstorming and structuring to refining your writing style and improving grammar.

Our first session will be focused on understanding what you need—whether that’s detailed feedback, proofreading, or general writing advice. From there, we’ll work together to develop a personalized approach to improve your essays. Expect constructive criticism, clear explanations, and a focus on making your writing as strong as possible.

I am looking for students who are willing to learn, improve, and take their writing to the next level. Every session will be tailored to your goals, and I’ll be there to support you every step of the way!

Russian literature is captivating, complex, beautiful... But also essential for understanding Russian language, culture and even its current situation. As Yevtushenko said, "In Russia a poet is more than just a poet". And this is why learning more about Russian literature is essential. As a scholar in the area of Russian studies, I've written quite a few articles on that matter, and I'm happy to share my expertise with you!
