Reviews (1)
Noah is a passionate and dedicated coach who clearly loves what he does. I really appreciated his practical tips and the way he approached public speaking from multiple angles. He took the time to understand what was working for me and what wasn’t, and always adjusted based on my feedback. As such, each session felt tailored to my needs, which was super useful.
Another thing I enjoyed about the coaching sessions was that Noah always explains the reasoning behind each technique, which made a big difference in helping me improve.
All in all, Noah is approachable, thoughtful, and genuinely willing to help his students grow. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to build their confidence and overcome public speaking anxiety.

Oxford & Cambridge University Interview Prep Course
Have you been invited to interview at Oxford or Cambridge this coming autumn? Congratulations!
Oxbridge interviews are the make-or-break stage in acceptance into one of these two top-tier universities, and they require a significant amount of preparation and know-how in order to succeed.
Having successfully secured a place for myself to study English Language & Literature at the University of Oxford in 2015, and having been subsequently invited to pursue a Master's degree in English literature on scholarship, I am versed in the intricacies and expectations of the interview process for a range of disciplines.
I work with students across a series of sessions to hone their understanding of what's expected of them during the interview process, to identify their particular strengths and improve on their weakness, and to practice extemporaneous speaking and timed essay-writing and test-taking.
Each course is designed with the candidate in mind, and I can outline a recommended number of sessions and their contents based on an initial session.

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

Math tutoring for children: I will make your children excited about math
My perspective is that if a child enjoys learning, they are the most motivated and most successful. Therefore, I try to teach in a way that the children actually enjoy and are excited about coming to my tutoring. I really enjoy teaching and I believe that sometimes kids just need more encouraging words and playful ways to learn.
