About Me

I am a polymath, I am majoring in chemistry but I am also interested in theoretical physics, sustainable development, permaculture & regenerative agriculture, music, video games as narratives, and linguistics.
I am also a polyglot, I have studied over 30 languages, the ones that I am most comfortable speaking are English, German, French, Polish, Danish and Latin.
I believe that anyone is capable of learning vast amounts of information, given the right approach. I strive to find the right approach to my students and explain abstract ideas in terms that anyone can understand.
I like to combine knowledge from different, seemingly disparate fields and find analogies and parallels between them, and I hope to show my students the beauty of these parallels that tie together so many different areas of learning.

Living Latin through Comprehensible Input (Contemporary and Medieval Latin)

35.87 C$ /h

You will learn Latin the way it was meant to be learned - through conversation! Medieval scholars and contemporary language researchers alike advocate the use of dialogues and comprehensible input for language acquisition, and it most certainly works! As opposed to the "memorise grammar rules and then babble them in front of the class" approach that was demonstrated by the infamous "Romanēs eunt domus" scene from Monty Python's "The Life of Brian", you will learn to feel the grammar, so that you will be able to use the different cases of Latin without even thinking about it, just like a native speaker!
For this class we will be using the following books, depending on the learner's level:
Hans Øreberg's "Lingua Latīna per sē Illustrāta"
"Corderiī Colloquia"
Erasmus Rask's "Colloquia Familiaria"
John C. Traupman Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency
I will be the collocutor and I will answer the learner's questions and explain certain oddities solely in Latin (I will use a second language only when the situation calls for it)
We will also engage in free-form conversations, discussions of the dialogues, of our life experiences etc so that the learner can apply what they learn to real-life situations and expand their vocabulary

High-school Chemistry (A-levels, GCSE, problem walkthrough & practice)

30.2 C$ /h

You will learn the syllabus necessary to pass A-levels, GCSE's, and after that we will walk through past exam papers together. Your homework will include solving similar problems and practice problems on your own, the solutions will be reviewed at the start of each subsequent lesson.

I am Christian, graduated in chemistry at Utrecht University (Biomolecular Sciences) and have a PhD in developmental biology. For several years now I have been tutoring and exam training in mathematics, chemistry and physics to HAVO and VWO students, but also to HBO students and Cambridge International A-levels. Maybe I can help you too!

The lessons are given online, but I provide a personal and interactive approach. With a marker and whiteboard I create an atmosphere that is comparable to private lessons at your home.

Every student has unique goals and a unique way of learning. That is why I tailor my lessons to your needs. I am always involved in your progress and am optimistic and approachable by nature. During the lessons I often notice that students not only understand the material better, but also their self-confidence grows.

Besides being a tutor, I am a part-time artist (painter and musician). My creative background gives me a fresh and enthusiastic perspective on science subjects. If science subjects feel hard, difficult or boring, or if you had a teacher who couldn't make it fun, I can help you change that. The more you understand, the more fun it becomes, and good grades will follow!

I'd love to meet you!

Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning.

My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention.

I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood.

Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home.

Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success.

I foster an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem.

I offer structured, one-on-one tutoring in physics and mathematics for secondary and university students. Sessions are in English or Spanish, depending on your preference.

What I cover:

-Physics — IB SL/HL, A-Level, IGCSE, Belgian/French secondary, first and second-year university (mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, waves, modern physics)
-Mathematics — IB SL/HL (Analysis & Approaches), A-Level, IGCSE, calculus, linear algebra, STEM entrance preparation

How sessions work:

-The first session is diagnostic — we identify the actual gaps, set a plan, and decide whether we're a good fit. After that, sessions combine conceptual work, problem-solving, and past-paper practice depending on what's coming up.
I give specific, honest feedback after each session. For younger students, I'm happy to share a short written summary with parents.

Format: Online via video, or at the student's home within Brussels Region.
