My name is Maria and I combine my academic background in International Business with practical experience in Assurance & Audit at a Big4 firm. Additionally, I co-authored the 2021-2022 VMBO Economics Exam Guide, giving me precise insight into what students need to master for their exams.

With 5+ years of experience in tutoring economics (in Dutch and English) and exam preparation, I’ve helped countless students improve their grades—often by 1.5 to 2 full points on their final exams. My approach is results-driven, structured, and tailored to each student: we work together toward clear goals, whether that’s exam prep, homework support, or strengthening conceptual understanding.

Why students choose me?
Expertise – I know the exam material and real-world applications.
Proven success – Students average 9% higher grades and gain confidence.
Flexible & personalized – No generic lessons, just what you need.

You Choose What We Focus On:

Exam Preparation: Full training for final exams, including past papers, time management, and common pitfalls.
Homework Support: Tackling assignments together, answering questions, and catching up on missed material.
Test Readiness: Targeted practice on upcoming test topics.
Concept Mastery: Relearning material (with clearer examples than in class!).
My Approach:

Tailored Lessons: You set the goals, I create the roadmap.
Interactive & Clear: No boring lectures - just collaborative learning (exercises, discussions, visuals).
Real-World Relevant: I connect theory to practical examples from my Big4 experience (how companies actually apply economic concepts).
Why It Works:

- 5+ years specializing in exam prep AND homework help - I know exactly where students struggle
- Co-Author of the 2021-2022 Economics Exam Guide
- Proven Results: My students average 9% higher grades than peers and say: "Now I finally get it!"
- Flexible Format: Online sessions available

The mastering of language is important, it opens up job opportunities when you're an adult and helps you in socializing with peers when you're a child. This language class is for anybody that would like to improve his language skills in Dutch from a native speaker that has completed his whole education in this language and socializes with other native speakers. The language level I employ can be fine-tuned to your own: from basic talks to some more advanced discussions.

- Do you want to learn how to pronounce words correctly and use them in sentences?
- Do you want to learn how to spell words correctly and write them in sentences?
- Do you want to be able to read and understand French and/or Dutch?
If your answer is 'yes' to one of those questions, you are in the right place.

At work, at home, at parties, and everywhere else, good communication is indispensable to be able to understand each other. A language is meant to be spoken and understood. The best way to understand a language is being exposed to it, whether through books, movies, songs or social media. In my classes, only motivation is required. During the first class, we explore your needs and what I can offer you. Outside and during my classes, you are your own teacher. The higher you expose yourself to the language, the quicker you'll master it. I am your coach who will guide you through it and give you some tools along with tips and tricks to master the basics. I am willing to help you as long as you need. If you want my help one hour for French and one hour for Dutch per week, or only 30 minutes/week for Dutch, that is up to you! Additionally, I offer group sessions of maximum 4 persons per session. It is your responsability to look for your classmates if that is something you are up to.
