About Me

As a teacher, I'm patient, structured, and attuned to each student's needs. My goal isn't just to impart knowledge, but to truly ensure students understand and build confidence in the subject. I explain things in multiple ways until it clicks, and I encourage active thinking rather than simply providing answers.

I have been working with pupils and students at MBO, HAVO/VWO and WO levels for years

Experience / Qualifications

16 years of experience in teaching and tutoring.

Spanish is the world's second-most spoken language. Therefore, learning it and being able to, at least, understand the most basics is indeed essential! This class is for either beginner students, advanced students or for people that want to improve their vocabulary and speaking skills! I assign homework after every lesson and provide progress reports.

I can teach in different areas. Just discuss which area is needed! Keeping an overview when you are taking a test or studying can be difficult, let me help you improve this. Does that sound like something for you? Send me a message

I have successfully completed 6 VWO and passed an English Cambridge exam.
Currently, I am a law student with a passion for languages, geology and history and I like to share the knowledge - in peace and with full understanding of the student - and together I look for the best method to make this work!

I have been working as a tutor for primary and secondary school students for more than 5 years and have experience with people / children who have difficult learning, have little motivation or where the penny has just not yet fallen.

Have you been invited to interview at Oxford or Cambridge this coming autumn? Congratulations!

Oxbridge interviews are the make-or-break stage in acceptance into one of these two top-tier universities, and they require a significant amount of preparation and know-how in order to succeed.

Having successfully secured a place for myself to study English Language & Literature at the University of Oxford in 2015, and having been subsequently invited to pursue a Master's degree in English literature on scholarship, I am versed in the intricacies and expectations of the interview process for a range of disciplines.

I work with students across a series of sessions to hone their understanding of what's expected of them during the interview process, to identify their particular strengths and improve on their weakness, and to practice extemporaneous speaking and timed essay-writing and test-taking.

Each course is designed with the candidate in mind, and I can outline a recommended number of sessions and their contents based on an initial session.

I’m Juan, certified native Spanish teacher!
To learn a new language you just need to practice, practice and practice again... and have fun in the process!!
So we will TALK about any topic (sports, culture, our hobbies, music, technology, traveling...) and I will give you some tips and corrections when is needed!
Even if you are a begginer or you have high level... you will improve your Spanish. The bigger linguistic immersion the better, what means: talking and listening Spanish as much as you can!

Waiting for you already! :)

Taking IELTS Academic is a perfect opportunity to get into the university of your dreams! As someone who gave it myself, scored 7.5 overall, and was accepted to the University of Amsterdam, I know how to prepare you efficiently for the shortest time.

At a lesson, I'll review your strengths and weaknesses and will make an individual plan from scratch that we'll be sticking to during our preparation. I'll also share my own tips and tricks that helped me confidently pass the test.

🎓 Academic Coach for Students | Study Skills & University Prep | 1:1 Online Support
Are you a motivated student who puts in the effort but still isn’t getting the results you want?
Do you feel overwhelmed with where to start, or unsure how to study more effectively?

You're not alone—and the solution often isn’t “working harder,” but working smarter.

🧠 What I Offer:
I help students like you improve study habits, time management, and academic performance—so your hard work actually pays off. Whether you're in high school, university, or transitioning between, I’ll guide you toward strategic, structured, and sustainable learning.

👋 Who I Am
My name is Noah. I’m a lecturer, programme coordinator, and student mentor at the University of Amsterdam. Over the past decade, I’ve coached hundreds of students to reach their academic potential—many of whom went on to top universities like Oxford, UCL, Leiden, and careers at international companies.

🎯 Together, We’ll:
Assess your current study habits

Introduce proven techniques for focus, retention, and motivation

Apply those tools to your assignments, essays, and exams

Build a system that works for you, not just the textbook

🎓 My Qualifications:
BA in Psychology – University of British Columbia (UBC)

Two Master’s degrees – Leiden University

PhD – Leiden University

I combine research-driven academic support with mentoring that meets you where you are. My approach is practical, empathetic, and results-focused.

📩 Let’s get started! Message me now to schedule your first session and start getting more out of your education.

Everyone who learns has certain ways of learning that are pleasant and others that are unpleasant.
This is sometimes also due to a certain bias with regard to the subject, sometimes with regard to the way of learning that is normally requested.
In these tutorials I help you make your learning more effective, by making better use of your strengths, compensating for your weak elements, and understanding blockades or attachments, that works better.
The homework guidance is based on concrete lessons that you have to do for school or university and where you can use help. I help with that, especially by asking questions. As a result, you learn more how much you can actually understand yourself, often also from an unusual point of view, which gives energy. And by understanding what you know about one subject, to recognize it in another way in another subject.
In five lessons you will be different in your learning. Initially, we usually work with a course in which you can use help. But after that you know your way better in different subjects, and you learn better and more effectively.

In my lessons I will teach you Spanish. We adjust the lessons depending on your goal, level and pace. I teach in English, but my mother tongue is Spanish.
In the lessons we deal with grammar and vocabulary. And several practical exercises.

Students who need tutoring, who want to learn fluent Spanish, can come to me.

I have experience with both adults and children

If you have any other question! Contact me :)

I always motivate my students to do their best and to speak in French during class. I always give homework to practice writing skills.
From B1 level we talk about news and culture, my lessons are always concrete and goal oriented. Repetition is also part of my lessons, so that students can learn new material with confidence.
Finally I also offer Delft exam training from A1 to B2 levels - a diploma that is required for many Hotel Schools and also to be able to work and study in French-speaking countries.

During my English tutoring sessions, students receive targeted help with homework and support in all aspects of the subject. We focus on improving language skills—such as grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and pronunciation—with special attention to areas where students struggle. Together, we work purposefully to resolve language problems and build self-confidence, so students become stronger and more independent in English.
