History and politics have always been a passion of mine and I am very much willing to teach anyone who desires any tutoring. At times it can be very difficult and overwhelming if you need to make an exam or write an essay - I can be there to help in case you need guidance! The goal here would be to make you understand history better, organize patterns in your head and possibly make you love the subject! This should definitely help in either expanding your worldview, or enhancing your history grades. I am willing to teach history (or politics/maatschappijleer) in Dutch or English.

I have little preference in regard to eras or themes in history, but if you must know I especially enjoy political and military macro-history. The grand patterns throughout history fascinate me, with of course, attention to large events. No era or area is particularly strange to me, again, being able to process history is the goal here!

The grand goal is to get a basic, intermediate or advanced understanding in one of the subjects. I could, possibly, rehearse with you and ask you how fluent you are in the topics at hand. I am fully willing to adapt to the student his or her academic needs. In case you wish me to help you in structuring or writing a history essay, then this, too is no problem!

This includes those who want to write creatively as well as people who need to improve their academic or business writing skills.

Whether you are struggling with your structure, your language or the cohesion of your academic piece, I am happy to help you as a sounding board, partner and guide.

My experience in academic writing spans 5 different academic pieces of writing across 3 degrees and several journal articles, with my LLM paper nominated for an award.

I am aware of all the pitfalls one can encounter in this really challenging process and am therefore transparent with regards to not only the quality of the paper but also your work ethic in order that you can then obtain the best piece of work possible.

During my studies in Econometrics at the University of Amsterdam (graduated in 2015, MSc.) and in addition to my job as a consultant, I have always taught mathematics and statistics to secondary school students and university students (HBO and WO) with great pleasure. Since 2017 I have assisted students from different study backgrounds (from civil engineering to psychology) with writing their thesis and since 2022 I work parttime as a math teacher and educational advisor in the Emma Children's Hospital in Amsterdam and I teach private students.

Lessons can be taught in English or Dutch and face-to-face or online, depending on the location.

Location face-to-face classes: Citizen M Amsterdam, at your home or in the public library.

Hi, my name is Dave and I am a University (BSc) graduate who attended one of the top University Honors Colleges in the Netherlands. During my many years in the education system I have developed strong skills in academics, studying and teaching. The specific goal of this course is to give a meaningful boost to the student's ability to study efficiently and independently.

This course is highly adaptable to the student's needs and preferences. Perhaps you would like support for a specific assignment, help to prepare for a tough exam or for me to review an essay you have written; or maybe you just have trouble studying efficiently and you are in need of some tips and tricks. My goal is always to not only help the student during the class, but also to provide them with the tools they need to thrive by themselves afterward.

My own specialty lies mainly in the fields of Social Sciences, Politics, (Political) Economics, Game Theory, History, Religion, Philosophy and Academic Writing. I also have a decent amount of experience with International Law, Statistics and Geography. However, the overwhelming majority of the principles and tactics I teach in this class can be applied to any field or discipline, as the emphasis is put on the method of studying more so than on the content.

Need help writing your thesis/final project/paper?

Whether you're at the beginning, middle, or end of your thesis, together we'll definitely get through it!

In my day job, I also work on projects of all sizes and complexities. A final project is essentially a small one and goes through all the steps I also take in my day job. Thanks to my knowledge and experience from the professional world, supplemented by years of experience mentoring students, I'm definitely the right person to help you with your final project.

See you soon!

Improve your English university essays! As a native British English speaker with TEFL and TESOL qualifications, I offer sessions focused on editing the university essays that you are currently writing in English. Looking at anything from improving grammar and academic English, to cutting down the wordcount, to re-structuring your argument for better coherence, improving skills such as these can make a big different to your grades, and will continue to be useful throughout your academic and working life.

Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results.

From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally.

In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student.

I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in:

- Setup and planning

- Doing literature study

- Quality assurance

- Presentation and structure/content

- Popularizing the topics with catchy texts

- Review with a critical look

- Give layout and design input

- And much more

Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!

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.

After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing.

In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction.

We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this.

I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!
