Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning.

My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention.

I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood.

Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home.

Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success.

I foster an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. This curiosity drives deeper understanding and encourages a proactive approach to learning. By incorporating games, puzzles, and interesting activities, I ensure that learning remains fun and engaging, keeping students excited about the subjects.

Join my Foundation Course in Science and Maths and watch your child develop a strong foundation, confidence, and a genuine love for these essential subjects. Let’s work together to achieve academic excellence and make learning a fun and rewarding experience. “Excel in Subjects, Soar in Confidence!”

Here's what you can anticipate from my tutoring sessions

Concept Breakdown: I dissect complex topics into simpler, more manageable parts, making it easier for students to grasp challenging concepts and build a strong foundation in Physics and Science.

Student-Centred Approach: I enjoy teaching students and continually strive to ignite their curiosity and passion for learning. I aim to make each lesson engaging and enjoyable, helping students recognise the real-world applications of what they learn.

Shared Strategies: As a student who has successfully qualified for the Engineering Entrance exam test and is currently studying abroad on a fully funded scholarship, I bring my own learning strategies and study techniques to the table. These proven methods will help students achieve their academic goals.

Continuous Improvement: I am always learning and growing, just like my students. This continuous improvement mindset, which I actively promote, inspires and motivates students to strive for their best. It enables me to stay updated with the latest educational trends and techniques, ensuring that my students receive the best possible guidance.

Qualified teacher offers individualized teaching, assistance in preparing for quizzes or exams.

The method?

It is a teaching of language through games, art, culture and reading (press or literary). My central point is communication (understanding what is communicated to us and communicating). Teaching is functional and cooperative.

The acquisition of language skills is inseparable from cultural skills. I emphasize not only the different learning experiences that our daily lives offer us but also we want learners to talk about their culture. It’s interculturality that I prefer.

Group language teaching allows for the exchange and sharing of cultures, thus promoting communication based on each person's experience but also on their daily life in a new environment.

The objective is to learn with pleasure, using the language with creativity and inventiveness, without being afraid of our “mistakes”.

Educational material is no longer limited to classic learning books and grammar and exercise books. We use the play as educational material from which lessons and exercises are developed. With images, music, newspaper articles, films, poems...

Born following behavioral observation, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) designates a whole set of techniques (dissociation, reframing, etc.) and methods aimed at promoting the personal development of the individual.

Neuro-linguistic programming is concerned with how humans function in a given environment, based on their behavioral patterns. Through a set of techniques and methods, NLP helps to change the way an individual perceives his environment. Indeed, each individual has a map of the world which is specific to him, and which is modulated by his beliefs and his conditioning. The purpose of NLP is to modify this map in order to enable the individual to achieve their goals more effectively. NLP therefore provides the necessary tools to make personal and structural changes, in order to create new potential for success.

Neuro-linguistic programming is primarily concerned with "How to make it work well?" Rather than "Why is this not working?" ". It suggests recognizing the behaviors we adopt when communicating, and then making changes if desired.

- “Programming” refers to the fact that we are conditioned by our environment which includes a system of beliefs and behaviors.
- “Neuro” means that these programs are encoded in our neural circuits.
- “Linguistics” refers to language, whether verbal or non-verbal.

Examples of benefits of Neurolinguistic Programming:

-Improvement of the mother-child relationship
-Improved performance and decreased anxiety
-Improvement of psychological difficulties and quality of life
(..)

The objective of this training: to target the tools which will support your communication, your image, will help you to decipher your interlocutor (...) to better achieve your objectives.

Thus, after having exchanged with you about the essential blockages that you encounter, targeted areas for improvement, your objectives (...), pragmatic tools, techniques & methods will be put in place based on the initial data. Combined with these theoretical elements, their implementation will follow (for example, by filmed simulations or at the end of the session in real life).

Course of a session: in conversational form, the practitioner identifies the problem and determines the objective with the client by asking a set of questions. He directs his questions towards solutions rather than the story that generated the situation.

Then according to his practice, the practitioner uses the tools at his disposal in order to remove blockages and promote behavioral change, while deciphering the communication of the other as well as his own, thanks to specific NLP tools.

In our imagination, nourished by our education and our conditioning, we all believed one day that once married, having founded our family, we will realize our dream.

Before taking the leap, we all idealize this life, and the stronger our hope, the stronger the awakening to the reality of life would probably be.

Indeed, family life is another experience, a challenge and a process during which we learn a lot about ourselves, about the other and about the relationship.

By choosing the right mediator, family and married life can therefore be a great opportunity to grow (sometimes in pain, in joy).

Among the possible accompaniments, some examples:
- The basics of a solid and fulfilled married or family life
- How to resolve disagreements
- The secrets of a balanced and balancing child education
- Learn to express emotions
- Manage families and in-laws
- How to take your place within the couple
- Define the respective roles of each

Among the techniques used:
- Non-violent communication tools

- The “helping relationship” which aims to support people in crisis or conflict situations and help them resolve dysfunctions (emotional, relational difficulties, repetition of scenarios, lack of self-confidence, etc.) . It also leads to better self-knowledge and guides the person to discover their own solutions.
The practitioner in helping relationship through his attentive and neutral listening, his training, his personality, his presence, his availability will allow the consultant to progress towards a better knowledge of his psychological mechanisms, respecting his blockages, his rhythm and his ability to hear.
The therapist takes into account the subject as a whole: physical, psychological and social.
Allow the consultant to access autonomy so that he can, when he feels ready, walk alone, in all inner serenity.

- Coaching that allows you to act and take responsibility, which is the basis of effective and lasting change. Work on the management of emotions and relationships, confidence and self-esteem, self-affirmation is at the center of individual support, which allows you to live more fulfilled and authentic relationships.

- Love coaching, which is personalized support based on understanding the mechanisms of love and focusing on putting an individual in this disposition of openness and acceptance of the other and their difference (which prepares to receive love) and to transfer keys of understanding to gain emotional maturity.
It allows you to obtain concrete and measurable results in your love life.
Through coaching, the consultant becomes aware of his resources, optimizes his potential and transforms his life.

- Brief marital and family therapy. She is interested in how the problems manifest themselves in the present but the personal history of each is also approached. This insight helps to better understand the events experienced and to make connections between the past and what is at stake in the current difficulties. We introduce changes in behavior to open up perspectives, mainly relational.

- Sophrology. Sophrology is a gentle method that promotes relaxation of the body and mind where you relearn how to listen to your feelings using controlled breathing exercises, muscle relaxation and mental suggestions. It allows you to develop your potential, regain self-confidence, manage your emotions and achieve your goals. It will be, at times, interesting to use this technique to manage to unblock the mind that is blocking and to give the body more amplitude to welcome what presents itself.

♟️ Why take lessons?

► Are you a busy adult with limited time and don't know what or how to work on to progress in chess?
► Are you the parent of an ambitious child and do not know how to guide him in his progress?
► Are you a beginner player wishing to discover the game with a titled player, in a good mood?

Then this announcement is for you and taking private lessons will save you a lot of time! Indeed, with my experience and my mastery of the game, I am able to:

► To establish a coherent and effective work plan adapted to your level, whatever it is.
► To identify your shortcomings very quickly and to find a remedy.
► Provide or direct you to resources that meet your needs.
► To flesh out the discovery sessions of the game with personal anecdotes or concerning its fascinating history.

Overall, I am able to accelerate your progress in a fun and effective way.


♟️ Course of the first lesson:

Ideally, the student sends me some parts of him as well as a brief description of his personal objectives before making contact. Then, during the first lesson, we get to know each other around an educational part.


♟️ General course schedule:

From the second lesson, we begin the analysis of your games.

I ask you to provide me with games that you have played from which I select the most didactic. I teach primarily based on my students' parts because lessons learned from personal experience stay longer and more easily remembered. However, I sometimes show famous and/or illustrative parts when it seems relevant to me to do so to support a point.

After a few sessions, I have a very precise idea of the state of your knowledge and I am able to personalize the course according to your needs. From then on, I provide you with exercises and recommend resources that correspond perfectly to the aspect of the game that you must work on to progress as efficiently as possible.


♟️ Topics covered during the courses:

My goal is to make you a complete player!
I have accompanied several players from a beginner level to an advanced level (2000+), and I know the different steps to take to become a good player, as well as the methods that work to achieve this.

Among the topics that we cover in the course and that I help you master are (more or less in order):

► Basic masts
► The importance of the material
► Simple mating patterns
► Simple tactical diagrams
► The 4 basic principles for a successful opening
► Elementary endings to effectively end a game
► Basic strategy: strong / weak side, development of a coherent plan at the exit of the opening, improvement of the pieces
► Candidate moves

Then, for more experienced players:

► Advanced tactical diagrams
► A complete and effective opening repertoire, adapted to your style and your level
► Advanced endgames: Activity of the king, passed pawn, activity of the pieces, majority on a wing, etc...
► Advanced strategy: pawn structures, open file, the 7th row, attacking the king, weaknesses, strong squares, prophylaxis, reading the opponent's plan, evaluating a position, exchanging the right pieces, etc...
► Calculation
► Chess creativity


♟️ Classes with children:

I adapt my course in order to capture their attention constantly, I ask them funny and relevant questions so that they retain the lessons easily. I make sure that they are participants in the lesson and not spectators.

I generally end the lesson with a game against them where I expressly leave a few errors lying around, so as to create spontaneous didactic moments (sometimes with a hint!). A brief summary of the mistakes made during the game follows, which serves as a hook for the next lesson.

Two of my students (with whom I have been working for 2 years) finished 1st and 5th in their respective age categories at the last Belgian youth championships.


♟️ Courses on the internet:

For online lessons, I use Discord or Skype to chat and share my camera, as well as the lichess platform to analyze and show games or exercises.

The latter has a tool allowing the teacher and the student to interact on the same chessboard in real time, and to show ideas using arrows and colored boxes. The student can find all the previous lessons at any time by consulting the work sessions archived on the platform.


♟️ Opening hours:

Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
I am available in case you have questions outside of class, I am happy to answer them. I am flexible if ever a course had to be moved due to an unforeseen event.


♟️ Languages:

Classes can be given in French, English and Dutch.


♟️ In summary:

I am professional, pedagogue and available. You lose nothing by contacting me!

Don't be afraid if you are a beginner, most of my students are.

Qualified teacher offers individualized teaching, assistance in preparing for quizzes or exams.

The method?

It is a teaching of language through games, art, culture and reading (press or literary). My central point is communication (understanding what is communicated to us and communicating). Teaching is functional and cooperative.

The acquisition of language skills is inseparable from cultural skills. I emphasize not only the different learning experiences that our daily lives offer us but also we want learners to talk about their culture. It’s interculturality that I prefer.

Group language teaching allows for the exchange and sharing of cultures, thus promoting communication based on each person's experience but also on their daily life in a new environment.

The objective is to learn with pleasure, using the language with creativity and inventiveness, without being afraid of our “mistakes”.

Educational material is no longer limited to classic learning books and grammar and exercise books. We use the play as educational material from which lessons and exercises are developed. With images, music, newspaper articles, films, poems...

Born following behavioral observation, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) designates a whole set of techniques (dissociation, reframing, etc.) and methods aimed at promoting the personal development of the individual.

Neuro-linguistic programming is concerned with how humans function in a given environment, based on their behavioral patterns. Through a set of techniques and methods, NLP helps to change the way an individual perceives his environment. Indeed, each individual has a map of the world which is specific to him, and which is modulated by his beliefs and his conditioning. The purpose of NLP is to modify this map in order to enable the individual to achieve their goals more effectively. NLP therefore provides the necessary tools to make personal and structural changes, in order to create new potential for success.

Neuro-linguistic programming is primarily concerned with "How to make it work well?" Rather than "Why is this not working?" ". It suggests recognizing the behaviors we adopt when communicating, and then making changes if desired.

- “Programming” refers to the fact that we are conditioned by our environment which includes a system of beliefs and behaviors.
- “Neuro” means that these programs are encoded in our neural circuits.
- “Linguistics” refers to language, whether verbal or non-verbal.

Examples of benefits of Neurolinguistic Programming:

-Improvement of the mother-child relationship
-Improved performance and decreased anxiety
-Improvement of psychological difficulties and quality of life
(..)

The objective of this training: to target the tools which will support your communication, your image, will help you to decipher your interlocutor (...) to better achieve your objectives.

Thus, after having exchanged with you about the essential blockages that you encounter, targeted areas for improvement, your objectives (...), pragmatic tools, techniques & methods will be put in place based on the initial data. Combined with these theoretical elements, their implementation will follow (for example, by filmed simulations or at the end of the session in real life).

Course of a session: in conversational form, the practitioner identifies the problem and determines the objective with the client by asking a set of questions. He directs his questions towards solutions rather than the story that generated the situation.

Then according to his practice, the practitioner uses the tools at his disposal in order to remove blockages and promote behavioral change, while deciphering the communication of the other as well as his own, thanks to specific NLP tools.

In our imagination, nourished by our education and our conditioning, we all believed one day that once married, having founded our family, we will realize our dream.

Before taking the leap, we all idealize this life, and the stronger our hope, the stronger the awakening to the reality of life would probably be.

Indeed, family life is another experience, a challenge and a process during which we learn a lot about ourselves, about the other and about the relationship.

By choosing the right mediator, family and married life can therefore be a great opportunity to grow (sometimes in pain, in joy).

Among the possible accompaniments, some examples:
- The basics of a solid and fulfilled married or family life
- How to resolve disagreements
- The secrets of a balanced and balancing child education
- Learn to express emotions
- Manage families and in-laws
- How to take your place within the couple
- Define the respective roles of each

Among the techniques used:
- Non-violent communication tools

- The “helping relationship” which aims to support people in crisis or conflict situations and help them resolve dysfunctions (emotional, relational difficulties, repetition of scenarios, lack of self-confidence, etc.) . It also leads to better self-knowledge and guides the person to discover their own solutions.
The practitioner in helping relationship through his attentive and neutral listening, his training, his personality, his presence, his availability will allow the consultant to progress towards a better knowledge of his psychological mechanisms, respecting his blockages, his rhythm and his ability to hear.
The therapist takes into account the subject as a whole: physical, psychological and social.
Allow the consultant to access autonomy so that he can, when he feels ready, walk alone, in all inner serenity.

- Coaching that allows you to act and take responsibility, which is the basis of effective and lasting change. Work on the management of emotions and relationships, confidence and self-esteem, self-affirmation is at the center of individual support, which allows you to live more fulfilled and authentic relationships.

- Love coaching, which is personalized support based on understanding the mechanisms of love and focusing on putting an individual in this disposition of openness and acceptance of the other and their difference (which prepares to receive love) and to transfer keys of understanding to gain emotional maturity.
It allows you to obtain concrete and measurable results in your love life.
Through coaching, the consultant becomes aware of his resources, optimizes his potential and transforms his life.

- Brief marital and family therapy. She is interested in how the problems manifest themselves in the present but the personal history of each is also approached. This insight helps to better understand the events experienced and to make connections between the past and what is at stake in the current difficulties. We introduce changes in behavior to open up perspectives, mainly relational.

- Sophrology. Sophrology is a gentle method that promotes relaxation of the body and mind where you relearn how to listen to your feelings using controlled breathing exercises, muscle relaxation and mental suggestions. It allows you to develop your potential, regain self-confidence, manage your emotions and achieve your goals. It will be, at times, interesting to use this technique to manage to unblock the mind that is blocking and to give the body more amplitude to welcome what presents itself.

♟️ Why take lessons?

► Are you a busy adult with limited time and don't know what or how to work on to progress in chess?
► Are you the parent of an ambitious child and do not know how to guide him in his progress?
► Are you a beginner player wishing to discover the game with a titled player, in a good mood?

Then this announcement is for you and taking private lessons will save you a lot of time! Indeed, with my experience and my mastery of the game, I am able to:

► To establish a coherent and effective work plan adapted to your level, whatever it is.
► To identify your shortcomings very quickly and to find a remedy.
► Provide or direct you to resources that meet your needs.
► To flesh out the discovery sessions of the game with personal anecdotes or concerning its fascinating history.

Overall, I am able to accelerate your progress in a fun and effective way.


♟️ Course of the first lesson:

Ideally, the student sends me some parts of him as well as a brief description of his personal objectives before making contact. Then, during the first lesson, we get to know each other around an educational part.


♟️ General course schedule:

From the second lesson, we begin the analysis of your games.

I ask you to provide me with games that you have played from which I select the most didactic. I teach primarily based on my students' parts because lessons learned from personal experience stay longer and more easily remembered. However, I sometimes show famous and/or illustrative parts when it seems relevant to me to do so to support a point.

After a few sessions, I have a very precise idea of the state of your knowledge and I am able to personalize the course according to your needs. From then on, I provide you with exercises and recommend resources that correspond perfectly to the aspect of the game that you must work on to progress as efficiently as possible.


♟️ Topics covered during the courses:

My goal is to make you a complete player!
I have accompanied several players from a beginner level to an advanced level (2000+), and I know the different steps to take to become a good player, as well as the methods that work to achieve this.

Among the topics that we cover in the course and that I help you master are (more or less in order):

► Basic masts
► The importance of the material
► Simple mating patterns
► Simple tactical diagrams
► The 4 basic principles for a successful opening
► Elementary endings to effectively end a game
► Basic strategy: strong / weak side, development of a coherent plan at the exit of the opening, improvement of the pieces
► Candidate moves

Then, for more experienced players:

► Advanced tactical diagrams
► A complete and effective opening repertoire, adapted to your style and your level
► Advanced endgames: Activity of the king, passed pawn, activity of the pieces, majority on a wing, etc...
► Advanced strategy: pawn structures, open file, the 7th row, attacking the king, weaknesses, strong squares, prophylaxis, reading the opponent's plan, evaluating a position, exchanging the right pieces, etc...
► Calculation
► Chess creativity


♟️ Classes with children:

I adapt my course in order to capture their attention constantly, I ask them funny and relevant questions so that they retain the lessons easily. I make sure that they are participants in the lesson and not spectators.

I generally end the lesson with a game against them where I expressly leave a few errors lying around, so as to create spontaneous didactic moments (sometimes with a hint!). A brief summary of the mistakes made during the game follows, which serves as a hook for the next lesson.

Two of my students (with whom I have been working for 2 years) finished 1st and 5th in their respective age categories at the last Belgian youth championships.


♟️ Courses on the internet:

For online lessons, I use Discord or Skype to chat and share my camera, as well as the lichess platform to analyze and show games or exercises.

The latter has a tool allowing the teacher and the student to interact on the same chessboard in real time, and to show ideas using arrows and colored boxes. The student can find all the previous lessons at any time by consulting the work sessions archived on the platform.


♟️ Opening hours:

Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
I am available in case you have questions outside of class, I am happy to answer them. I am flexible if ever a course had to be moved due to an unforeseen event.


♟️ Languages:

Classes can be given in French, English and Dutch.


♟️ In summary:

I am professional, pedagogue and available. You lose nothing by contacting me!

Don't be afraid if you are a beginner, most of my students are.
