Over

Hello,

I am Phoebe, originally from London in the UK, however, I have lived in many places such as Fiji, Australia, Scotland, various places in England, and now in Finland! I am a PhD researcher who is specialising in Arctic marine ecology with a solid background in marine science and ecology.

Now, I am on this website in the hope to share some of the knowledge and skills I have accumulated over the years and passing them on to you in a calm manner, with no pressure, and fun, easy-going one-on-one sessions. As a scientist, you have to know many skills (not just the science!), and so I have represented a few of the necessary skills here on my page to help you in your early scientist careers.

Please feel free to contact me at any time if there is something you would like to discuss or to have a more tailored experience.

Look forward to meeting you.

Best Regards,
Phoebe

Marine Science - Biology, Ecology, and Oceanography!

26 € /h

Thinking about marine biology as a career? Or do you have a general interest in marine biology and all the amazing life living in our oceans? Whether it's marine mammals, comparing polar and tropic seas, or understanding the oceanographic processes and the currents around the world, and how these might change with climate change, I am happy to help with a tailored marine biology course for you. Topics we can cover (but not limited to!):

- Oceans and currents
- Rocky coasts
- Polar seas
- Tropical seas
- Deep sea
- Benthic Ecology (the things that live inside and ontop of the seafloor!)
- Fisheries
- Climate change and the impacts on ocean ecosystems
- Statistics
- ... and many more! :)

I would recommend this level of tutoring to college and university level students (that's not to deter any of you ambitious secondary/high school students, or people with a general interest, you are more than welcome!). I have put beginner level as the class title, but I am happy to teach higher levels. We can tailor the class to you if there is a particular area of interest for you :)

About me: I am a PhD researcher who is specialising in Arctic marine ecology with a solid background in marine science and ecology. I am currently based in Finland, Europe, but I am a UK national and studied at both St Andrews University and Southampton University in the UK. I am flexible with timings so if the times listed below don't suit you please contact me and we can organise a time that works for us both.

Beginner level coding for R - science, statistics, and ecology

26 € /h

Becoming a scientist? Statistics and coding skills are an important part of your everyday job. Learn early, practice, and with no time you will be flying through your data analyses before everybody else. Using coding software such as R allows you to interpret and analyse meaningful data and plot beautiful graphs using base R or multiple libraries.
I will teach you the basic syntax of R, how to understand and 'think' like R, and build on those skills to do more complicated statistics (ANOVA's, PCA, GLM's, mixed-effects models, etc.) and - the most important(!) - how to plot beautiful graphs!

We can tailor the class to you if you want to focus on syntax, loops, statistics, models, figures/plots, etc. It's up to you! :)

I am offering English lessons to students of all ages and levels as part of school, exam preparation, or just out of interest in vocabulary, grammar, and/or pronunciation. My experience has been mostly with children individually or in group lessons learning English as a second language of ages between 7 and 17. My aim is to help students establish a goal and help them along the path of reaching that goal, with clear progress milestones. I speak English at native level but I can also teach in Dutch depending on your needs. I have an English-spoken Bachelor's Degree in Politics and Law, having received an A on my International Human Rights Law thesis, a 1560/1600 on my SAT and 5/5 in AP English Language. I am also happy to do exam-specific tutoring.

Some Reviews:
Chevaan:
Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

I have experience and passion in teaching English and achieving good results.

The methodology chosen for my private lessons adapts to the specific needs of the student, from the youngest (learning to read) to the most experienced: preparation for an exam, a trip abroad, a reorientation professional, ... the courses can vary from a conversation table to a more academic structure emphasizing grammar, conjugation and vocabulary, or still be based on the theme of a particular professional sector.

As an engineer, I would like to help other students navigate the sometimes complex world of mathematics and physics. During my studies, I tutored for 6 years in secondary schools in the region of The Hague, Delft, Rotterdam and Antwerp. I try to go through the course material interactively with the student and link theoretical concepts as much as possible to examples from our daily lives in order to prepare and motivate the student.

So if you would like tutoring on one or more subjects in mathematics or physics, you can contact me.

I tutor students from primary and secondary education to higher education. From multiplication tables to quadratic equations, logarithmic and exponential functions, limits, derivatives, integrals,... Everything is possible!

Hi! My name is Daniela. I am half-German and half-Mexican, and for the past nine years, I’ve called the Netherlands home. My passion for languages is rooted in my multicultural background; as a native speaker of both Spanish and German who moved abroad at age ten, I learned English early on and completed both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in the language.

For me, languages are about more than just words, they are about connecting with different cultures. I have years of experience teaching private lessons to high school students and volunteering as an English teacher. Additionally, I hold a teaching qualification for Spanish (ELE) and am currently completing a Master’s in Language Didactics.

I love helping students improve their English by focusing on their specific goals. I personally prefer a conversation-based approach, as I believe speaking and listening are the fastest ways to master a language. However, I am more than happy to dive into grammar and structured exercises. I like to keep lessons dynamic, centering each session on a topic you’re interested in while naturally weaving in new vocabulary and rules.
