Tutoring at home

Tailored tutoring

Because learning can be different.

In the municipalities of Noordenveld, Westerkwartier and the city of Groningen.

As an experienced teacher with 38 years in education and extensive special education experience, I offer tailored tutoring for students who could use extra support. My strength lies in providing structure, calm and confidence, so every student feels safe to learn and grow.

Whether it's help with specific subjects or developing effective study skills, I guide every student with a personal and structured approach.

  • Direct instruction in small steps
  • A safe learning environment

Specialist support for language (NT2) and reading

  • Vocabulary, language acquisition and grammar

My approach

  1. 1

    Calm, clear and structured

    Every lesson follows a fixed, well-organised structure.

  2. 2

    Relationship and trust

    A student who feels seen and heard dares to learn.

  3. 3

    Practical and goal-oriented

    We work on what really matters, moving forward in small steps.

    Positive and motivating

    Making mistakes is part of learning — every mistake is a chance to grow.
