Highschool Chemistry/ Biology / Test Prep Tutoring / Medical entrance exam tutoring
From 35 € /h
Hi, I am Kate. I offer highschool chemistry and biology classes. A lot of students struggle with sciency subjects, in particular chemistry. This is understandable, since these subjects can be overwhelming. That's why I structure every class around the understanding of a few core concepts and the application thereof.
Having over a year experience tutoring a range of subjects such as Chemistry, Biology and English, I am confident that I can help you find a way to learn this subject in a way that suits you and also adequately prepares you for any examination in the (near) future!
I believe science is within anyone's reach, as long as it is explained well. I believe in a relaxed learning method that engages the students as much as possible.

About Me
I am a fairly laid back teacher that believes a calm/stress-free environment is conducive to good learning.
I am patient and value a deep understanding of subjects.
Having said that, I also like to work directly towards your goal since setting goals and achieving them is a very important part in motivating yourself to further improve your skills.

I am a TEFL certified native English speaker (with fluent Dutch and proficient in French). I have also learned 2 languages in my free time and am aware of the struggles most people face during this process. I strongly believe you should naturally acquire a language instead of trying to learn it by heart. This can be done mostly by practising fluency and then revising grammatical errors and additional vocabulary on the side. Most importantly, I try not to overburden my students because acquiring a language is best done when you stay motivated to do so.
Every class consists of a conversation, whilst paying additional attention to grammatical rules that you may struggle with.

Are you interested in learning easily applicable English skills?
I think it is extremely important to learn a language in a way that you can apply every lesson in real life. Learning a word like "tomorrow" in English will get you further in daily conversation than the word "socks" will. I strive to keep my students motivated by giving them information that they can incorporate in real life as soon as possible.
