Study guidance for (young) adults HBO and WO, all-round coach with 10+ years of experience

Whether you are just starting to study, have been studying for a long time, or have returned to study books later in life, at some point you may feel that you are reaching the limits of your own abilities. Perhaps you are faced with a specific topic, a specific assignment, a teacher, or you are stuck with your graduation. Before you make an irreversible decision based on mounting frustrations, send me a message. There is a good chance that I have time and space to discuss your situation with you and help you make a new start with new insights.

With more than 10 years of experience as a tutor, mentor, study coach, thesis supervisor and teacher, I have seen and been able to guide many students and students through very different challenges. You can contact me for almost all writing assignments, for academic skills such as critical reading and effective studying, and I help many graduate students who are working on a thesis or another graduation assignment.

In addition, it is good to know that I help many people who struggle with fear of failure, perfectionism, ADD, autism, exam stress, procrastination, and, for example, dyslexia.

I am convinced that it is not 'IQ', or 'insight' or 'aptitude' or anything like that that is decisive for the ability to understand, complete, or master something. I believe that study strategy is the central factor. And that is typically something that you can develop based on a number of basic insights into the functioning of the human brain.

Who knows, see you soon.

Extra information

When reading through texts, I like to use the 'track changes' option in Word so that I can place suggestions for improvements in the margins. I also use an online platform 'whereby' for which you do not have to install or download anything. For any 'off-line' appointments, I am happy to discuss what is and is not convenient in terms of location.

About Me

As soon as I tell people that I am a 'teacher' or 'work in education' the first question is 'which field?' My answer is usually that I help pupils and students with a wide variety of problems. These can be substantive problems as well as challenges in other areas.

I sometimes see myself as a tutor, sometimes as a thesis coach, sometimes as a psychologist, mentor, police officer (not that often, fortunately), punching bag, and study advisor. All different roles. Yet they all require similar skills and competencies. Patience, calm, decisiveness, assertiveness, reflection, specific knowledge and specific experience, openness, authenticity, and more.

Besides the whole study thing, I also dare to describe myself as a singer-songwriter. I have also had a cabin sailing boat for a few years now. It also requires some attention every now and then. Exercise: I walk a lot. To work, for shopping and through nature. In addition, every week I join a small group of fanatics who practice a specific branch of Kung Fu.

Coming back to education, it is nice to mention that in recent years I have been immersing myself in knowledge about the functioning of the human brain with great interest. I also strive as much as possible to integrate that knowledge into my work and into my own life. Whether I help someone deal with exam stress, or whether I want to master a specific piece on the guitar myself. Super fascinating.

Education

University, social sciences, anthropology, political science, conflict resolution and governance. Qualitative research methods. Official 'master of science' (MSc.). Graduated Cum Laude in 2008 if I remember correctly.

Experience / Qualifications

During my own study period, I started supervising homework classes for secondary school students in Amsterdam North. After my education at the UvA, I started working there as a teacher/researcher. I have now been working as a self-employed person for quite some time. All in all, I have more than 10 years of experience in education. From primary school to university.

I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

I truly believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules—it's about living it, using it, and enjoying the journey.

I’m passionate about guiding each student along their path and providing them with the tools they need to feel confident using Spanish in real contexts.

Adapted to each case and need, the objective is support in accessing a job, from the search for departure to the signing of the contract:
- After the search and selection of relevant advertisements, establish and illustrate your transversal skills profile then create an attractive CV and write a striking cover letter highlighting your professional background
- stand out in the preparation of their interviews, from oral presentation to expression through appropriate body language. Interview simulation & video analysis filmed if necessary.
- Identify your values, promote your professional project / your assets and strengths but also work on areas for improvement in order to find new momentum in your career.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions. (study 2020)

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne.

But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: chat notes that can be read later).
In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place in a very optimal way and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours.

Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, specialized and has been working for more than 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking, in renowned international public and private institutions, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented towards pedagogy and careful methodology.

Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF:
The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles.
