About Thomas
Does physics feel like a wall of formulas you cannot see through? You are in the right place.
Like yourself, my interests started at a young age. Subjects like mathematics and physics came to light early. For example, I started watching Discovery Channel the moment I could read the Dutch subtitles and never went back to Nickelodeon.
Fast forward, I am 26 and graduated with my bachelor's degree in Applied Physics at The Hague University. My thesis work brought physics into the real world: building a laser measurement system for detecting elements in industrial slurry, and automating an induction furnace at Tata Steel. During my studies, I was tutoring in my hometown Haarlem for middle school and college students, helping them prepare for their exams in mathematics and physics.
Now, I've been teaching karate to kids in the meantime, so I know how to keep young students engaged and motivated. After all, I have a black belt and I love seeing them grow in terms of age and skill. I also started practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, to not just keep teaching but also be taught.

During physics class, I often missed the why question. Why should I learn this, what is this useful for? Yet the answer is within your daily life: thermodynamics is your fridge, mechanics is your bike ride, and electromagnetism is the screen you are reading this on.
During my classes, I emphasize the application and motivate students why the subject is important to know, resulting in improved memory and understanding. Once a subject truly clicks, you will understand it for a long time.
To verify your understanding, I'll ask a platter of questions and bring multiple scenarios. You do the thinking like you would during an exam, while I break the problem down into smaller bits. I help with homework, test weeks, and final exam preparation for middle school and college students.
A class starts beforehand: you tell me what you would like to discuss, preferably with some images of your coursework, so I can prepare a well-thought-out program. Lessons take place online with screen sharing and a digital whiteboard. The lesson plan looks like:
* Checking what knowledge is present
* Presenting the goal of the class
* Explaining the new subject matter
* Exercising with varying scenarios
* Summary
I hold a bachelor's degree in Applied Physics as a reference of my expertise. Feel free to discuss the subjects you need beforehand, so I can estimate how well I can assist you. My goal is that you walk into your exam calm and confident.

During first year in university, I had algebra and calculus for my financial engineering degree. I quickly hit a brick wall during study and I couldn't pass it. I heard of Thomas from other friends and for a good reason. He told me my fundamentals with mathematics ware incomplete and helped me fill the gaps. Fast forward, the subjects don't give me anxiety anymore and actually started liking them! I surely vouch him as a tutor.
Thomas helped me during high school with mathematics and physics, which were never my favourite subjects. Luckily, his instructions and context really boiled things down. No unnecessary information, only what's required. Moreover, he gave me examples of household items and how they apply to the subjects, giving me more appreciation for the subject and making learning easier. Highly recommend him as a teacher!
