Emy

I am currently a third year biomedical sciences student at the Vrije Universiteit finishing my bachelors next year. I have work experience as a microbiologist, working at Eurofins in Zaandam, I also have previous tutoring experience of 5+ years in the subjects biology, maths, chemistry at a high school level (VWO) and biomedical sciences 1st and 2nd year bachelor classes. I have taught students from the ages of 13-16 (highschool) as well as 18-21 (biomedical sciences bachelors level). I also have experience in childcare, ages 1-8 years old and I also currently take care of a 4 year old girl on a weekly basis.

Motivatie

I would like to start tutoring again as I love helping students learn and understand new information. I have always had a passion for learning and I enjoy giving that feeling back to my students. I have had really good experiences with tutoring so far, I find it especially rewarding when my students can see a process in their grades after they have had a few weeks of tutoring with me.

Mijn aanpak

I find it important to understand what my student is struggling with to help them the most I can, therefore on my first meeting with them I usually ask them what they think they need help with: whether it is homework, exams or learning material, I can always try to help. Once the problem is established I build a weekly plan on what we will work on so that there is a sense of planning and organization between me and the student. I also ask the student to send me what they would like to work on the following week in advance so I can plan my lesson/tutoring with them in advance. In addition, each time I meet up with my student I aim to check all the boxes that are planned for that day. I also give small homework/assignments for my students to make for the following week and then go through this with them the following week. I would say I am a patient person as well as capable of explaining the same thing in different ways, I am capable of making things visual for students which is a valuable asset when it comes to tutoring, in my opinion.
