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.

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.

Programming is an incredibly useful skill to have, and it can often help you automate small tasks in daily life. In my lessons, I also try to code as much as possible with the ultimate goal of creating something concrete, creative, visual, or funny.

-- Techniques --
You learn by doing; in my lessons, I like to guide you through the basics by creating something in small steps. I am convinced that step-by-step, hands-on learning is the best way. I structure my lessons depending on which language or concept you want to learn, but think, for example, of making a game, a visualization, a website, animation, etc.

-- Contents --
In addition to a specific programming language, with me you will also learn the philosophy behind programming, recurring concepts, methods to avoid getting stuck, and much more. Learning this is essential because it allows you to continue independently and learn other languages as well.

-- Level --
I can help you learn from the absolute basics to slightly more advanced concepts such as data structures or designing algorithms yourself. I will train you to become someone who not only understands how to program, but also someone who knows how to keep learning. Feel free to send me a message if this sounds like something for you!

I teach film acting classes with a focus on acting for film, TV, and commercials. In these classes, you will learn how to act naturally and believably in front of the camera, with attention to subtlety, timing, and awareness of framing and shots.

We work with text and scenes, with an emphasis on script interpretation, emotional build-up, and developing authentic acting for various formats. You will learn how to adapt your acting to commercials (clear and direct) and to film and series (layered and subtle).

The lessons are tailored to your playing level, so that you can develop at your own pace and work specifically on your strengths and areas for improvement.

Thanks to my experience as both an actor and a director, you will gain insight not only into acting but also into how a set works. I will guide you through the practical side of the field, such as auditions, self-tapes, collaborating with the director and camera, and what is expected of you on a shooting day.

The lessons are personal and aimed at developing self-confidence and camera acting skills. Suitable for both children and adults.

The lessons can be given in Dutch or English.
