• Cambridge/London

I am a graduate in Economics from the University of Cambridge. I grew up in the Netherlands, attended an international school doing IB, and spent a gap year doing an internship in the energy sector. I am very interested in social entrepreneurship as a lever for international development.

            I don't have a standard approach, as it is tailored to the needs of the student. That is why I prefer long-term tutoring engagements, because I like to get to know the student and truly understand where he/she needs support in order to tailor my approach. I also believe that the longer the engagement, the larger the incremental benefit my tutoring could bring.

            I have tutored throughout high school for IB, mostly for economics and mathematics. I also taught at a kindergarten in China over previous summers, and shared business principles with entrepreneurs in rural Kenya for 3 months. I have also led workshops and one-to-one coaching for Cambridge students on preparation for consultancy job applications.

            I enjoy baking, dancing, playing music, debating, model united nations, social impact consulting, and in general, learning new skills.
